[QUOTE=kruzaroad] I must admit that since I went to finger tips, I've changed grip again and don't think it was as hold sensitive as I thought.

Explain “finger tips”…?

I think he means that he's holding the gun with his fingertips as opposed to gripping it with your whole hand. (Relating to springers)

Kruz's version of artillery hold.

I had the .22 ASP20 out for a club best group competition last weekend and while it was doing ok I started to experience expanding groups as opposed to tightening it up as I went along.

Home for a check-up and the action screw at front of the trigger guard had come loose, tightened easily but will definitely include a drop of Loctite.

.22 ASP20



The .177 ASP20 had a clip come off and a locating pin moved inside the trigger mechanism locking up with the gun cocked so that went off to specialist at Stratford Magnum Sports. De-powering and disassembly were not easy and engineering required for the repair. Thousands of shots but still an unexpected failure, I will check the .22 to look for any similar issues and enclose a picture on what to look for.

Hey, out of interest I think I found the issue with the sig barrel rusting. In the weihrauch manual of all places.
Recons don't put the weihrauch in foam lined cases without a plastic liner as the foam may with the metal. Sure enough the weihrauch started to do the same thing as the sig. Live and learn.

Yes its said the foam cells hold moisture so prolonged contact can cause rusting. Also the cases themsilves being plastic shell dont breathe well so hold in water vapor.
'Ideally' hard cases should be used really only for transport, and short term storage - between shooting and storing in a gun safe or cupboard that allows air flow around it..

I have a FWB 300s that lives in a foam lined hard case, I give it a really good wipe down with oil before storing away to give a good barrier. (Reminds me i need to check it!)

I experimented with a couple of things when first read it.
Settled on a dam good oiling and wrapped it in gun cloth along the barrel. Thats worked fine. I am currently looking for an alternate liner.
So far have considered rubber or the ever useful camping mat.

Sig got a few shots through it this after in fading light. A few random targets just to see if I was in line. I discovered I was shooting my early 2" to the right compared to Kruza at 20m.fer clicks and its sorted. Will do an official sight in and validation of poi in the weekend

They had good preformance. On par with AA I was using. In fact I think most of ppl who saw the groups on site, I put up leaned towards the exact.
That tin was was my emergency tin in case I couldn't get AA heavy.
Looking forwards to a few targets and your view on gun.

Righto, had an hour to get comfortable with the Sig today. Using unsorted exact heavies. While trying to maintain a tight group I was mainly just focusing on how the gun reacts and fires and get used to the feeling of it

Here is 40ish pellets at 20m


And at 40m - good to know I have the ballistics almost perfect through chair gun.
