    easy on a break barrel to see - just remove the barrel and look through the barrel, from breach to muzzle. you will see if the bore through the mod is off centre - but easiest in good light. Easiest way to fit after correcing and simple misalignment flaws in to spin up the barrel with mode fitted in a lathe, and just bore a fraction out through the mod.. assuming of course the bore is co-encentric. Or just open out the mod - springers don;t need such tight clearances as PCPs - opening it out to 8 or 9mm through the mod will be just fine.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Make sure it is a .25 specific mod, I have used a normal HW mod on my .25 Rapid but it's a tight fit for the pellet,
    Assuming it's a HW mod it's a 7mm hex key hole at the front & .25 is 6.35mm, I'm guessing the .25 mod needs an 8mm hex key.

    Not sure of the make of the mod.

    Removed the baffle & that was the cause of the issue, gunsmith has already told me to send the baffle back & he will supply another.

    Thanks for the advice.

    What type of baffle ? most airgun mod's use "hair-curlers & washers" I wonder if it's a SAK with a metal insert.

    Not sure how to describe it, but its 60mm long plastic & solid other than 24 holes in it.
