Once the “polishing process” is complete, is the barrel silver metal inside, or is it still black.

There are two parts to proper pellet trap.

The stopping material or better the energy absorption or the pellet and then the sound attenuation of the energy being distributed.

I have been using BICC Compound successfully for about 10 000 pellets and it is still good, just much heavier now.( similar to duct seal)

What was the fps before you did the adjustment.

Mine shoots around 940fps and I think somewhere I read that best Accuracy on the R3 is around 900fps with 18gr

I haven”t tampered with mine but are very tempted now!!

My Cricket was one of the first ones, so it was low on the fps with 18 grns.
I spent a lot of time with the Cricket , it is an awesome accurate and predictable gun.
I have now spent the same amount of time with my R3…… I voted for the Edgun.

My reasons are as follows

The wood quality of the R3 is much better.

My Cricket is very accurate only up to 200 shots, then the barrel requires cleaning….Edgun I only cleaned it once after about 2000 pellets.

Edguns are special !!!!

The setup belongs to a dear friend of mine, who like me are very passionate about our air rifles.

What happened was the day before we did this test I seem to have found the “sweet spot “on the adjuster , the spread at that time was ridiculous and we decided to do a proper recorded evaluation.

I used a full mag at every string so the total was 98 shots.

The barrel was clean when we started the test so the first group settled the barrel.

He does not reload the action but tries to move the mag forward by moving the mechanism repeatedly, the action has to be reloaded for the mag index to move forward.
I have 2 x Crickets, not one has ever failed and both have shot count of about 4000
