I'm glad to know that i'm not nuts
Am I remembering right, that you recrowned it? Have you slugged it with a pellet to check for burrs? Is the leade munged up?

Is the leade munged up?No, have not re-crowned the barrel but what I did say is that I manually feed pellets down the barrel & it does not appear that the pellets are engaging the rifflings as they should. I also said that it was worse at the end of the barrel but Scott cleared that up & said there are no rifflings on the last 1" at the muzzle.There is a possibility that you got a defective barrel....one that wasn`t made properly....you could send it to DAISY and have them inspect it...PHILThanks for your info with regards to China & time/quality.

One downside is the retainer hook is more pronounced on the new arm- and while this is good for retaining the arm, it makes a lot of noise when pumping.
The pump arm of my 1998 production 880 kept popping up after 9-10 pumps. Thought it might be related to the seals but it wasn't. Turns out this pump arm has so much flex, that when the pressures are up the arm bows. So much so that it causes the pump arm to pop out of the spring that retains the arm. I swapped out the pump arm for a newer arm from a Chinese gun and problem solved- no flex to speak of, due to the better design. One downside is the retainer hook is more pronounced on the new arm- and while this is good for retaining the arm, it makes a lot of noise when pumping.The ES is still too large even after replacing the abutment, abutment spring, chamber seal and chamber O-ring. All that's left is replacing the valve assembly. If that doesn't help I'll guess I'll just have to live w/it.
I use two hands on the pump arm. One in the handle, and one wrapped around the shroud, at the point where my fingers are in line with the secondary lever pivot pin. I grab the lever as it comes down, giving an extra squeeze on closing. It helps to overcome the flex in the main part of the lever.
I removed my spring entirely. No problems with the arm popping out.
