QuoteDid you have to send your barrel to him first. Mines drilled off center on the breach end.Nope, I just emailed Mike and he told me he is mailing out a barrel. I'll see how this one shoots but the original was straight and bored on center. I decided that for $200 I will keep the Sentry because I LOVE the stock and the air tube. It shoots 25.39gr pellets well so I can keep her a pellet gun and see how fast I can get her before the pellets destabilize and I lose accuracy.

David I shoot my cast NOE Hunter Magnums in my semi auto all the time, my Xisico 25 cal always shot them really good too. They're a longer pellet than the JSB though but very accurate well into the 900fps.
Here's a picture.
Well, it's final, my Sentry is garbage. I got the replacement barrel and it has the exact same damage the the original had, but wait! there's more! The new barrel shoots so low that I ran out of turret before zeroing. I had to leave the plastic off the gun to bring it up enough to scope.Not done yet... There is air puffing back at me from the breech. I changed the barrel O-rings, the TP rings, nope, not coming from there... hmmm, toilet paper trick to locate the air... its coming from the hammer stem clearance and blowing out the back through the hammer adjustment scale (1-5). One more... JSB Kings 25.39 on power wheel set to 5 are 600 FPS. 3k of air, no other issues but I got a complete dud.
Total bummer, but they were what was left at the bottom of the barrel
Only if he tunes them, then there is a lifetime warranty written inside the box. One reason I suggested adding the $100 tune to the deal
I guess what really gets me is that both barrels had the same defect and I told mike about that when I emailed him and he selected one with that defect and sent it anyway. I am tempted to rant back at you all that tell me he has such great customer service by holding up that barrel and yell, "How about THIS one? Huh? Huh?". and storm off like a tantrum plagued child. I invested a whole day on this gun, never got agitated or lost my focus, I was careful and meticulous about the repairs, this gun really needs to be parted out.

I'm having almost the same problem except mine ran out of windage. I just rotated the barrel 90 degrees and was able to zero after that. I'm thinking instead of sending my barrel back to Mike to just get a new LW barrel machined for it. I figure it will do no good to send it back to Mike if I'm just going to get someone's elses problem barrel. By the way, I paid full price for my rifle with tune as in $395.
