    A sub 12fpe 97 won't loosen screws that easy. I shot over 100 pellets through my 77 today and checked my screws after and there was no movement and I don't use loctite.

    I am intrigued by this … and I bet others are too …

    Have you looked in the silencer ? and on the inner rim of the exit.

    as Std it has a spring in it ….well mine did anyway.

    I took this out and put in a curler and some felt ….and "to me "
    I made a slight improvement … and others thought so too.

    If the guy you sold to has been inside here and maybe tried to make some improvement himself.
    Something may be clipping ?

    the crown was my other thoughts as already mentioned.
    easily damaged if carelessly rodded to remove a jammed pellet

    hopefully you will get this sorted fella …. and let us all know

    Checked through the barrel and could not see the spring sticking out

    The chap put a pull through so no rod has been near it

    dont take this the wrong way . was it working ok when you sold it to him ? if so, your only mistake was taking it back . he could of done anything to it , wrecked it ,then claimed it was like that when he got it. some one has tried that with me before and they got told to do one as every time i sell i rifle, before it goes on sale it gets sent to the shop for a full service and check over then down my range for a couple hundred shots. he claimed the rifling was chewed up . my thoughts, he had tried pushing something into the barrel and wrecked it . should always do sold as seen

    i see where you are coming from but I must say the chap I sold it to was a genuine nice bloke from our conversations he seemed very knowledgeable has plenty of posts ect nothing to suggest he would act that way

    and my reputation is worth more to me than to start throwing accusations like that around

    I had not shot the rifle for a while and it could have easily been done in the postal system but seeing as I had not shot it before I sent it out there is no way I can say when it happened

    if I cant figure it out I may just sell it as spares or repairs or poss send it for repair
