I fired one out of the box and it was like a shotgun....enough for me to buy a used s200 for my little one instead. I believe they are generally full of gunk, so as above, get it cleaned, check the crown and polish if needed, give it all a good clean down and polish and they should be good bits of kit. A mate got one and did this and it shoots spot on, I just didn't fancy the faff, that and the s200 is crazy accurate and whisper quiet to the point that I use it now.....don't tell the little one....!

There must be some risk of invalidating the warranty with anything more than cleaning the barrel.
It is hardly a cheap rifle at that price, compared to others by the likes of walther and gamo, so I would think the logical approach is to return it to the shop.

that is exactly what i told him to do,why mess on with something that is brand new and not good

Straight out of the box they will never be good, just a sad fact of how SMK treat customers, but with a little effort and minimal cost it can be a cracking bullpup.

I’d return it.

I had to remove the barrel and use the bore cleaners I use with my powder burners to remove the tar that was in the barrels on the few that I’ve done - ‘airgun grade’ cleaner wouldn’t touch it.
Once polished out, they shot tremendously.

Iv got the Diana Skyhawk that is the same action as the P15 iv never had a problem wit mine without cleaning the barrel.
