I sent my 1984 Vintage R1 .22 cal to Ron Stearns / Bayman for tuning & repair. The R1 was grouping 2.5” @ 33’ so I knew it needed work.Ron chronographed the gun shooting 260fps, not R1 velocities.Before taking the gun apart Ron put my barrel on his R1 to test accuracy of the barrel. Barrel was accurate but bent, which he fixed.Once inside the gun it appeared to still have factory lubricants caked on surfaces & damaged seals.Trigger was also damaged from shipping.Ron has done a wonderful job of restoring accuracy, velocity now @ 760fps using a Vortek full kit & new piston seal.In addition to the work on the internals & trigger he also restored my stock.Gun shoots wonderfully now & looks great.I am very pleased to have this vintage rifle working so well & with Ron’s attention to detail.I am sending him my new HW 97 when it ships from Krale.
