I've never had the bottle nor felt the need to try it myself either, Michael.

I'd love to try some comp tube rifles with comp tubes made / finished to known, fine tolerances. Must surely be something to aspire to for many?

Jon's advice is good, as always. See how you go.

But, as and when you did get the chance to have a proper play, I think there would be merit in exploring the ring sealing solutions and playing with different seal carriers / crush etc. But then I understand that rings are less tolerant to inconsistent cylinders, so leading us back there.

Have fun.
