For those who expect the long .22 and .25 to come.
I left them in Saint Petersburg to be shipped to States. Just talked with the guy who is responsible for the shipment and he promised me that all 13 guns will be send within few days. There are 6 in .22 caliber, 6 in .25 caliber and 1 in .177 (short one).
As for .22 everything more or less is understandable (use only 18 grain JSB pellets). The only thing could be – there are new barrels I ordered from Lothar Walther, they are nice and being testing them for about two weeks I found them very interesting, so new barrels could have new “accuracy speed”. It means that if for old barrels I knew that the accurate speed was about 920 feet/s for the standard one which makes about 30 Ft-lbf and 970 feet/sec for long one which makes about 33 Ft-lbf so for the new ones the accurate speed can be in different levels. I have no idea where. I adjusted them all for standard 970 feet/sec with 16 grain pellets. Tested some of them to speed up about 1 020 fee/sec without any problems. So you have the privilege to test them and find the best adjusting, which makes you the part of the process not only customers 🙂 and I, definitely, will use your experience in the future. I consider it as normal – you got the products which is not worse then previous we did but I myself still do not know its potential and you will reveal it with me – for my point of view that sounds interesting 🙂
As for .25 – I tested them with 25 grain JSB King, speeding them up to 1 070 fee/sec which makes about 65 Ft-lbf. I still say that there are not good heavy pellets (like 35 grains) for this caliber but having shot with JSB Kings I was impressed, for 30 meters they showed me almost the same accuracy as JSB 18 grain for .22 caliber. So even they are not heavy they are quite accurate, at least at this distance and having knowing JSB pellets very well I expect them be perfect for this gun but, again, we need tests since .25 caliber have new barrels as well. I tried few guns to shoot with ENJIN and they have the same accuracy as JSB expect some of them which were bad made (less weight). But I know that ballistic coefficient of them is terrible and you should not expect much from them. As for JSB 25 grain I have no idea about it’s BC but expect it much better then ENJIN, so would recommend you to start with JSB King 25 grain and then test other pellets (taking into consideration that having changed the pellets you have to clean the barrel carefully).
Hope you will get them soon and will be satisfied (as usually my clients are 🙂 )

PS. All guns in my natural grey colour stocks 🙂

I’d also like to know what you mean by careful cleaning. I too would like to try some other pellets —-heavier for hunting.
Still 50 full power shots 😯
Hello Ed, I am glad that the guns are at the shipper’s. What do you consider carefull cleaning? I plan on trying a few different pellets.
Just currious, 😆 , how long does it usually take for the guns to get from the shipper to Tony?
That is good to hear! Did you ship any “extra” stocks to Tony to replace the unsatisfactory wood-grain stocks?

I will try all of the different .25 cal pellets that I can get my hands on. I am a big fan of the JSB pellets and expect them to do as well, if not at least a little better, than anything else out there. I have read that JSB is working on a heavier .25 cal pellet and that it is susposed to be out soon. I will post results here. Mamcrackin might post a little also! 😛
Ed, I would like to know what you call a good cleaning. Do you use fishing line or weedeater line and pull patches thru from the muzzle end? Do you take the breech off and use a cleaning rod from the breech end? Do you remove the shroud? Do you use any solvent?
Thanks
