x7 Phenom Problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey,

I have a friend who just recently bought a new phenom about 2 months ago. From day one his shot groupings haven't been to our liking and every 4th to 5th shot through 3burst or full auto slick up,down,right,left just as if there was a barrel break. But he hasn't broken paint since he bought the gun. So naturally we figure, ok, he needs a new barrel. He upgraded to a HH 14" battlestick and chronoed his gun at the suggested HH rifling speed. The problem resumed. So we though ok time to upgrade from Co2 to HPA. But till have the same problem. What is going on? Does anyone know what might be the problem? His shots just keep slicking all over the place every 5th shot. Oh an he has opened his gun up a few times and mad sure everything is lubed up but not over lubed. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks.

	accuracy is obtained by a ZEN like balance of Paint and Barrel. Barrels that use "sizer inserts" allow an almost custom fitting between paint and barrels. But remember your still shooting liquid filled balls out a smooth bore barrel.
