Bob maybe i'm not clear enough. there is like a good 1/16 inch play from the barrel to the band. if you grab the muzzle you can move the barrel back and forth slighty. this is how they're made. my thought is if it's lying against the wall with the weight on the muzzle the barrel might not re-center the same as before when picked back up. i recall the disco's being the same. what else could this be? it's friggen accurate. i'm just having to tweek the scope a few clicks every so often. the on again off again with the jsb's is racking my brain. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:57 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2443 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia How can the barrel get bent whilst inside the shroud? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
