the unfortunate facts are that these days most firearms and airgun manufacturers are owned by large corperations whos sole interest is making the biggest profit they can for shareholders who dont care about the products these corperations make,who they sell them to or evan if those products are suitable for purpose,so companys are run by accountants whos sole interest is keeping costs low to boost profits anyway they can,the bigger the profits the higher the share prices go,its got nothing to do with producing good products,customer satisfaction/customer service,s they simplily dont care as long as shareholders are making money,this is big busseness today,its corperate piracy at its best and proberly criminal at worst,but its all about maximising profits in the end.

pics would be good. A few have stiffened the barrel using a thick walled carbon fibre sleeve. The ends, and where they compress between need to be exact,so the tension doesn't deflect the barrel.

I am a long time springer shooter, I need to get into pcp at some stage. My current project is a BSA spitfire .22 which I'm about to do a full carbon fiber barrel shroud with integrated suppressor. I'm hoping with having the stiffness of the carbon on the barrel that it will increase the accuracy and also prevent long term barrel droop from cocking. It came without the 10shot mag but they are a little fiddly anyway. Will update you all on the progress as I go.

i must be spoilt by my pcps too, got the old BSA springer out the other day after reading novas comments on recoil,this is a rather powerful 177 rifle,bloody near cracked my false teeth,sounded like box of files rattling away inside,had new spring put in it few years back,mustve been a truck suppension spring i think,bloody thing nearly jumped outa my hands,never did get on with this rifle and this time no exception,after half an hour still couldnt hit anything but did make nice bit peg board out of a piece of ply got so many neat little holes scattered all over it i could proberly paint it and use it to hang tools off,i think this rifle hates me coz fights me so much i cant hit anything smaller than 20 liter paint bucket with it,dont know why i keep it,proberly just to punish myself and remind me why i went to pcp rifles eh!!

Well there you go Pauly5. You have obviously been spoiled by the Air Arms PCP.
