Evening all,

Today has been a satisfactory day or airgun fettling.

The recently acquired .22 '80 has had a strip, clean and relube and seems to be shooting accurately. However, I've got a couple of problems:

1) It's a bit of a handful and is not the smoothest thing to operate or shoot so I think it needs a bit of refinement which leads to problem 2...

2) The Combro tells me that its muzzle energy is high 11s (FTTs) and I'm concerned that if I do any fettling or refining it'll be pushed over. I'm aware of the '80s reputation for being hard to keep legal so what might be the best option? Collapse the spring a bit? Chop the spring? Part or full drop-in kit? Substitute for delrin where I can? Just take the washer off the trigger end of the spring? Fill with grease to slow everything down? Just get FAC to negate the issue?

I don't want to spend a tonne of cash on it and pimp it completely though, I'm happy to keep it as true to what it is as possible.

Internals all look original to me. No evidence of dieseling at the moment.

Thanks,

Rob.
