I think this is the rarest Hy-score?

I have a chrome Hy Score in .22 in vgc.

Despite the attention of three expert repairers and new spring from the States it won't put a hole in cardboard.

Annoying.

Sounds like it is missing the white grease on the outside of the barrel. This grease is essential in that it provides the air seal between the piston head and the barrel Without it, no Hy Score can put a hole in cardboard. Something few "experts" are aware of. Easy to check, if the barrel is not loaded up with grease, that's the problem. Very common thing to happen.

Though not true of a chrome one, the Hy-Score over here is so common and cheap not sure a repair beyond lubrication makes sense? If I had a chrome one with real issues, I'd buy a common blue one I knew worked and exchange the entire mechanism. The only chrome part is the tube? Maybe I'm missing something? I'm a bit of a rookie.

I think we went through the white grease thing but I will check.
