Would the process described in the first post work for my air rifle?
It's a cheap chinese one (SMK 17
) and I only got it a few months ago.
Now I'm not a bad shot, but at 25 yards with a rest, this thing'll shoot massive ragged groups. What can be done to improve the accuracy?
Feel free to mock me if you think it's necessary, I probably deserve it

The tuning as described will most likely improve the rifle's firing cycle but it sounds like there are other issues.
Eliminate variables first. Is the scope securely mounted, is it focussed, are you suffering parallax error? If all ok, is the barrel lockup secure and is there any play in the breech jaws? Is the barrel clean? Have you tried different pellets?
Finally there's the fact that springers don't like being shot from a rest due to the recoil; it leads to inconsistency. Try resting on something softer like a cushion or your gloved fist on top of the rest.

A stripdown, deburr and relube will do wonders for it. Also make sure barrel is properly clean, and check muzzle crown. I can't speak for the 17, but I know people with 19's and 20's who have had good results with this treatment, and now achieve good groups.Originally Posted by Nick Steele

Alright...I've taken the stockand cocking lever off...
Looks like the trigger assembly's WELDED to the bottom of the action
It's obvious that this POS wasn't meant to be dismantled.
