I'll probably tune mine when I wear the mainspring out or consider a gasram conversion. I still think the rifle presents outstanding value for an FAC springer, tuned or untuned.
Not sure that the EXPORT version which you obviously have isn't tuned a bit before they sell it to you. Any company selling into the US market should make a lot more effort than selling to us poor mug Brits.
