OUTSTANDING!!!!!Tune in a Tube may be all it will need after the trigger adjustment.But for now I'd just shoot it... a lot !!!!(as I dig mine out of hibernation)
I’d take it apart. Guns shooting with that kind of power are going to diesel a little unless they’re lubed with Krytox or similar, but what you described sounds way beyond that. The big drop in consistency would worry me. Lots of posts from experienced tuners about HW coming over lubed the last few years and burning seals, etc. Worth a look inside.
While we’re talking HW warranty, does anyone know the warranty situation with guns bought outside the US? All of our HW purchased from AoA have USA stamped on the barrels. The 97 long from Krale doesn’t. Talking with someone from Canada and all his barrels are stamped CA-20 or CA21. His guns are all full power, not Canadian spec. Have been thinking it must be some type of identification for warranty work but would like to know if anyone has the answer.The other question would be whether seals and springs are even covered since they’re consumables. You’d have to get HW to agree any damage was from excessive lube or parts issues.

Other than a MAJOR manufacturing defect, once the rifle is "serviced" by a non-trained factory tech tough nugggies. Glad they are rather simple machines and easily worked on.-Y
Misunderstanding the question. I know it’s void if you open it. My HW97 doesn’t have a USA stamp because it wasn’t purchased here. If I have a warranty issue can I send it to AoA or would it have to go back to EU? Came with the guns bought and sold in CA with the stamp. Could they go to AoA or any other service center or do they have to serviced in Canada? Has to be some reason they’re going to the trouble of stamping the barrels.
Hope you did not stop shooting after you shot that excellent group? -Y
Wow, what scored that line inside of the receiver tube? Was that grit or something?
