I picked up this beautiful 65 recently and couldn't wait for it to arrive and shoot it. Well, when I got it I couldn't believe that it looked like brand new, even better than in the pictures, but the excitement soon ended.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get this pistol to shoot straight. I moved the target from 10 yards to 7 yards to try and figure it out. I was using JSB 7.33 pellets although I tried several others.
The previous owner had a scope rail put on it and while it was at the gunsmith he figured he'd have him do a complete tune on it. Not that it needed it,but figuring the age that the seals may be deteriorating so he's have everything done.
Anyway back to my situation. I noticed a lot of black residue in the breech area. I figured he must have put something there to protect the pistol because it wasn't used much and in the safe. Well, after cleaning it out I checked the barrel and sure enough the barrel had it too.
I cleaned the barrel and the accuracy improved dramatically but still not what this 65 is capable of . It would shoot good ( for me ) then start shooting bad again.
Then I noticed the black substance in the same area as before. Checked the barrel and sure enough,dirty barrel again. I cleaned both areas and it was shooting fine again.
I now watched this area closely and about every 25 or so rounds the build up started. The only thing I can imagine is that whoever tuned this pistol used way to much lubricant and upon firing it's coming out of the seal. Does this make and sense ?
As all of you know, these FWB rifles and pistols do not require a lot of lube but I think it's over lubed. What is your opinion of this situation.
