It's not glaringly obvious and its only after zeroing and finding the pellets striking out to the right the further out you shoot that makes it apparent.
    The gun is flawless in every other respect and the stock has been beautifully restored, but I'm pulling my hair out with this issue.

    Can I get a mount thats adjustable for windage? I just want to get it sorted before I inevitably sell it!
    Had a similar problem,was about to give up when I removed the thread protector from the end and could see the threaded portion was bent,with the protector on it looked perfectly straight,carefully straightened the threaded end and now shoots straight and true,the end thread is easily bent.

    presumably when it had a silencer attached ?

    It's only an M10 fine thread IIRC, so pretty delicate - ~ 8mm core dia with a 5.5mm hole thru it..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Would have seen it had I a 10mm silencer,the thread protector masked the problem,I fired over 250 shot before finding the problem my right arm resembled Popeye's and left leg had has a bruise 6" round where I placed the rifle to cock it,the next step was to use it as a javlin.
