It's almost planting season so my .22 barrel will be a tomato stake. How about some comments on the"current" Crosman barrels as to accuracy ? I spoke to a Crosman customer service/ parts rep last week and he said they haven't had a problem with them since 2009. I'm not convinced.
Dillon have you tested different pellets? Hard to say from photos but that 50 yard group tells me you have a accurate gun. If your barrel is clean I am willing to bet those groups will tighten up significantly once you find the right pellet.A few pellets recommendations if you haven't tried them yet. H&N FTT 14.66 come in 3 head sizes. JSB 16 and 14.3. Crosman 14.3. H&N Baracudas 21 grain come in 2 head sizes. AA 16 grain are made by JSB but they are 5.51 heads. What I do is wait for PA or AGD to have one of their 10% or more off sales with free shipping when pellets are needed.

One of these days I would like to get one of the "BAD" .22 Mrod Barrels cheap enough to experiment with... I have an idea that they are to thin for the fpe (harmonics) so need to be in a .25 breech (after being sleeved to .5" of course)..
