Lets try this:
Fed Ex delivered my replacement Summit Ranger an hour ago. I cleaned the barrel with Goo Gone using 3 feet of 60 lb monofilament I used as a bore snake and a few patches. It's now sighted in at 10 yards with Benjamin 14.3 gr HP's. I'm not shooting anything better than a 5 shot inch group yet.This one has a nice CBT trigger though. The OEM trigger spring is .252" OD of .035" wire and .530" longI was going to bike over to Home Depot and get a few .252 springs of 0.26 wire, same OEM length and a little longer than OEM length. I may hold off on that. At least for the weekend. I'll probably get the CBR trigger kit eventually.The 10 for 10 that Seth Browning: PA Tech & Returns manager; did for my SR shows velocities of: 1199.58, 883.38, 892.17, 909.46, 909.32, 907.96, 903.69, 917.46, 910.69, 911.72.I figure the 1st shot was a dieseling detonation. Seth says the avg fps for it is 934.53. I re-added the 9 subsequent shots and divided by 9 getting 904.5 fps. I'm happy w/ that. I figure by the time I get it broke in, it will be getting similar velocities to Buddy's, and Kinney Kormandy's SR's and everybody else's.Me really likey this one so far.

As it happens, my first SR had issues. It gets 783 fps w/ Hobby 11.9 gr pellets. This one gets 905 fps w/ the same pellet. If not for the 10 for 10 test, I never would have known the difference.
Glad you got your new gun and it all worked out.BuddybPS, that Gamo Red Fire low fps should have been 761 and the average 771

Mine is fairly crisp and I don't think it is overly long at all.Especially so.... in comparison to the older Crosman Non CBT triggers, that are on their older NP rifles.You could install a CDT CBR trigger but I think I would try and adjust this one first.You have to remember that the trigger on a break barrel has to hold back the force of the power plant...and do it safely.Best Wishes - Tom
Hey Guys: I have a question. Has anyone at GTA done any business with M*Carbo?Reason I ask is that I ordered an SLT trigger kit from them ... they call it the ... Benjamin Trail NP2 Pro Trigger Upgrade Kit .Here's the link: https://www.mcarbo.com/benjamin-trail-np2-pro-trigger-kit.aspx They claim they send the order out the same day and it takes 3-5 days to get to the customer.I ordered the kit, last Friday. Today they sent an email claiming USPS was unable to verify my address. The address they gave in the email was my mailing address and believe me, USPS does know my address.Is M*Carbo a good merchant or are they a phishing rip off website,is what I'd like to know.
