Exactly like lifting one cheek Gibo. It’s what the Germans call Ein Sneekenfarten.

I tried that during chapel at boarding school. During a lull in the sermon, fittingly. A loud "PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP" resonated from the wooden pew. Bursting into laughter (as were everyone else), I tried to muffle my laughter only to pump out and additional"paap paap paap" with each fit of laughter, which just added to the hilarity.

I got kicked out.

Thanks mate. I’ll give it a good clean out, and take it for a shoot after the lockdown. See if that makes any difference.

Looks fine to the eye, but I’ll try get some magnification onto it. The original group was from the gun builder before it left the factory in the states. I assume with handloads. I’m only shooting factory, so that will likely make some difference too

Ah I see.
A good clean out as Gundoc suggested and perhahps try a few differnt brands and loads of ammo, it may just not like the one you happen to be using.

No need to kick up such a stink Bro

Take up the offer if considering a bushpig...chop and re-crown, send cut bit with old crown for the $20 and pie...after all the offer was for the munted crown.

Win win

@Slug nope that was for the whole gun seeing it was so stuffed lol

Yeah not sure if I can even do that as it has a full over barrel suppressor. I suspect I would have to cut the receiver end of the suppressor down a corresponding amount
Will give it a good clean and see how that goes. I have a few brands of ammo too so will try them and see if I can tighten it up
