Hi Sunbeam,

I have the LGV (the break barrel version). I find it very smooth and accurate but note like you that it has some recoil. Some of this is or rather seems to be twist (torque from the spring?). Now it is out of warranty I intend to strip it polish the spring ends and remind to see if that helps.

I am also thinking of adding weight at the muzzle to see if that reduces any muzzle flip. This latter option is a cheap, easy and reversible way to see what happens which might be worth trying on your LGU?
Cheers Rich.
