Classic Ryan

No need to kick up such a stink Bro

I can guarantee you my gas has never been called uneven. Toxic, vile and lots of other choice words, but never uneven

I can see I should have maybe elaborated a bit more

What are your thoughts?

I'm wondering if it's not the crown, but possibly a buildup of copper inside the bore.

The crown actually looks OK but there could be a problem in the bore near the muzzle. Give it a through clean and check the bore from the muzzle end with some magnification. Near the muzzle it takes bugger all to upset accuracy, mind you, 1'5" is fine for most things.

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.

@gundoc shhhhh don't tell him that. Bugger it thought id got a cheapy there lol

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

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

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