birdman99 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 that HW90 i bought from one of the kind lads on here was over powered.it was causing it to shoot all over the place.the rings and build up of the german gun is not equiped to go over the 12 foot mark,thus why it was spraying all over,even the gunsmith couldnt get the pellets to group,he put it doen to 12foot pounds and it was much better.i dont know enough about guns to say if this is how it is but that s what the gunsmith said was the problem.There seem really friendly in that Keith sports in saltburn,not stuck up there own **** like some gun shops i know of,ie in Middlesbrough.

Hezbear Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 It's nice when you go to a friendly gunshop mate, good job he changed the power because if you got caught with it then it would be classed as a firearm with it being over 12ft lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(there should be no sideways play in the barrel) Worth a check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
