However I do have one question since I am new to PCPs. Do they have a Break-In Period as Break Barrels do?'

This won't affect your shooting, but cocking the bolt, for example, might be a bit tighter/harder than it will end up eventually. This is especially true on rifles with rotating magazines- the more moving parts the more there is to break-in. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

This fella tweeked and tinkered and fiddled until he had his pcp stacking a particular pellet through the the same hole. THEN HE CLEANED IT Then he was very sad 200 rds later he is still very sad because the groups are very good....but not stacking. _________________ Sean Does PCP have a Break in Period?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
