Turns out it was loose. I actually mangaged to slip a .003" brass shim under it and I shimmed out the spring .012". <br /><br />It's a completely different gun!! 3/8" groups now at 15yds whereas before I was lucky to hit a 1" circle.<br /><br />Now to convince my machinist friend to make me up a better plunger.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />AxelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-57233791162077238322008-12-17T18:46:00.000-08:002008-12-17T18:46:00.000-08:00Wayne, if this had been someone's first spring gun...Wayne, if this had been someone's first spring gun, they'd give up airguns entirely. At 25 yards there was well over a foot of shot dispersion. <BR/><BR/>Glad you found Nick's blog.

I recently bought a factory refurbished Remington Summit that also had a lock-up issue. Different fix, similar pain.derrick38https://www.blogger.com/profile/07453249070532046877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-91007360257450961322008-12-17T15:02:00.000-08:002008-12-17T15:02:00.000-08:00Derrick,Now that's custom work.

I've got guns that shoot like that (before replacing the plunger); now I only I had your skill and tools.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938410060140203719noreply@blogger.com
