My clumsy efforts at a DIY lube tune voided the warranty. AOA sent a detailed explantion of the damage I had done along with photos last evening. I am at fault here, NOT AoA!
Greg, we're all pulling for you on this, buddy. Hope it works out to your satisfaction.
I've been thinking about this for some time, and I need to say this to Greg:I admire your attitude in owning up your actions.It takes real guts to admit an experiment that did not quite go as expected.And it is MOST unusual in customers.So, my dear Greg, my hat's off to you, sir.Keep well and shoot straight!HM

Although I've successfully DIY lube tuned, with ARH spring kits, some half dozen HW/Beeman rifles, none of them were the 50S. I flat out screwed this one up. The new 50S is back in my hands, better than ever, and I love it. She is perky! Best,Greg

Best,GregGreg,The shadow knows, but I don't. .......What did you do the cause the malfunctioning airgun?I realize that you took it down several times, but what exactly was "your fault"?TIA,-Yogi
Just out of curiosity what did that cost to fix out of warranty?I figured maybe a tune kit weather stock hw or aftermarket + there labor rate. Labor cost per hour is where I'm going for that.
