This can’t be right, regulated PCP

[secret-squirrel]

Well here goes , another 2nd hand PW purchase …. if you read about the hawke scope that didn’t go well. 

just had delivered a almost new condition norica dark bull , regulated PCP in .22 

Cleaned the barrel , Pumped it upto its max 250 ready to do some pellet testing.

put around 20 shots through it .
seemed Impossible to zero .
got my fx chronograph and bellow are my findings . (I no the chronograph is good , brought my regulated ultra out to double check ) 

seems like the first couple of shots per mag are low power then it creeps up and then is a bit all over the place .
Then when you reload the mag the process starts again 

I’m around 100 shots in tonight . Second fill of air  , Iv given up on pellet testing and just seeing if different air pressures in the gun and different hammer spring tensions changes anything or make it more consistent  ….. it doesn’t . (I no it went above legal limits that wasn’t my intention ) like I say it was a testing different tensions . But it still did the same dance ? 

Any suggestions? 

many thanks SS 🐿️

depending how long the gun has sat without being used regulators can seize up  i have found that most regulated guns need too be dry fired a few times once they are topped up with air as the power level is low then climbs  i would get a set of seals and strip it down and give it a good clean or return it to the seller if they said it was in perfect working order

Never even heard of them??

As above, if it was from a shop I'd send it back, not sure how easily you can adjust the power but it could get you in trouble.

Hello, If you purchased off a PW member ? What did the advert read on this PCP ? Have you contacted the Seller ?? I will lay odds this was faulty on purchase

Unfortunately not from a shop from an another members friend.
it’s a £1000 gun new .

I think roughly 4 years old.  And hammer spring has a screwdriver slot in it so very easy to adjust .

 i think your correct about lack of use . Ratworks told me dry fire my pcp 10 times every couple of weeks to keep it in good order . 
Seller never said it was in perfect working order as it wasn’t actually his gun . Selling on behalf of a friend . 
 

I was hoping it was just going to fix itself the more shots that went through it . But that happened

Hello, Then why did you buy it ?? You could have bought a brand new PCP with a Warranty, Get your money back or take a hit and get it repaired, It will not fix itself as you put it

 What do you mean why did I buy it ? 
why do we buy anything ? Because we want them I guess , And it’s not actually for me it’s for a friend . 
Long and short it I bought a gun thats nearly £1000 new for just over £300 . I don’t believe it was a too good to be true thing but maybe I’m wrong . 

im confident the seller didn’t no there was any issues with it as he was selling it for a family friend . (That’s what he told me and I have no reason not to believe him) 

On my original post I was just checking my findings wasnt  normal for a regulated gun as my only experience is with my regulated ultra from Ratworks . 

like you say . Suck it up and send it somewhere

 

cheers SS 🐿️

just get it repaired and put the cost down as price of learning not to trust any seller regardless of how genuine they look
