bsa s10 advice

[orson]

just bought a s10 with shortened barrel to carbine, done by gunsmith in told, tried bismags,hntrophys,aa fields, exterminaters, ely wasps, accupels , all .22 can only get 2"groups @ 40yds,(get 1 holers with my career, aa410)and some fliers, anyone else had similar probs???
any ideas on pellets??
guns pretty noisy, fitted with bsa silencer, is it normal for s10??
any thing io check quickly before i fully strip??

And yep, the BSA "volumetrric" is useless...

buddyboy, barrel has been recrowned, recently too cos theres no signs of rust, looks freshly machined, and ive checked for burrs on end, as for silencer supose ill chuck on a logun.

Need to check very carefully, it's not just a deburring exercise...

A well known gun smith showed me a barrel that had been shortened, which had very bad accuracy problems, if you looked really hard about 30mm in side the barrel you could see where some twonk had caught the rifling with a reamer, just be very careful with shortened barrels, personally if it was me i would of left well alone, sorry

looks like ill get the barrel on me lathe in the morning, with some grinding paste, and clean it up then.. having looked close i dont think its the best job been done on it,,,,, thanks for advice.

If you take the barrel out, try pushing a pellet through it from the breech to muzzle and check to see if the pellet is slack at the muzzle. If so, the choke has been chopped off. For best accuracy the muzzle should be the tightest point in the barrel.

done a first class recrowning job on the barrel, smoothe as a babys bum,, now getting one ragged- hole groups @40yds with hn ftt, aa fields, exterminaters like a shotgun spread mind,, not bothered only got couple hundred left anyways,,
dont seem to matter about choping out the choke,, thanks for advice,,,
