And so the questions start?
After reading hundreds of pages over the last few days, decided to strip my Gunpower Stealth (UK) today. Removed the forearm grip and hit the first problem. The grub screw nearest the breech is filled in. Does this mean I have a later model? It also has 2 grub screws on the left side. Also does anyone have any pics of the end of the breech that covers the top hat as i think that mine doesn’t have an ‘O’ ring in. Looks like a plastic collar?
I have only fired about 300 pellets since I got it but what sort of accuracy should I be expecting at 30mtrs bearing in mind it is limited to 12ft lbs. I am using RWS Superdomes? It does seem to have a few wandering pellet issues, I missed a rat at 15 meters yesterday.:oops Put a target out after that and found it to be a bit, all over the place. :

I can’t speak to the grub screw issues, but on the pellet side try some JSB, pr H&N pellets. For a 12 ftlb gun I would try to stay around 15 grains or so, you might be able to push an 18.1 but I haven’t tried that on a power setting that low.
Sorry not much more help.

stoobydale,
Someone from the UK will eventually help you with the stealth grub screw problem.
But as far as the breech o-rings go, they are inside where the barrel rides through them. They shouldn’t need removed for some time. A tad bit of divers silicone grease inside the throat of the top hat and a smear in the outside of the top hat should be all that is needed. When fired, the silicone will lube the two o-rings good enough.
For when you want to replace these o-rings, you will want to use a dulled and tiny hook. Small enough to fit inside without doing any damage. You reach the hook in past the o-ring you want to remove and gently pull on it to dislodge it from it’s grove.. The fun begins when you have to use a forked tongue with some curse words to get the ba$+ard back into it’s grove. 👿 It gets easier after the one hundredth try 😆 but don’t hold me to that number
