retromlc Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 at the moment the gun has a 16" barrel on it and it flying a few stray pellets,we have started using heavier pellets and wonder if a 24" barrel would improve acuracy,we are going to clean the barrel and are presently fitting a HW silencer,it's putting out just over 20flb,any other suggestions?

Gnome of the Woods Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 19" barrel is the optimum length for fac, 24ft/lb is optimum setting but can go a lot higher with work done. Check the silencer is not clipping and check power consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
