“2nd blew the end off on the second mag” Now that sounds like a story that needs telling. Mike

The first urban I got had a broken gauge so I exchanged for another.The second one shoots well, 820-840 fps jsb 15.9, is accurate but.....I can't zero it at 30 yards. I tried two different UTG 30mm tubed scopes and it maxed out the vertical adjustment and still shot 2 milldots low at 30 yards. It either has some serious barrel droop or possibly the moderator is causing the pellets to drop low.The barrel band might be pulling the barrel down. There is space at the bottom of the band but the top is pressing on the barrel some. No easy way to fix it unless I cut the band off (and that might not fix it if its the LDC) and the LCD does not unscrew, its like glued on.Unless someone has an easy fix I might have to send it back.

MikeThat was pellet clipping. Either due to double loading (2 pellets) or the LDC was a little off center from the factory and it clipped it. I just put in a order for a 3rd urban, fingers crossed it works ok.
Yep... looks like double loaded pellet... it's easy to do. If you "stutter cock" the gun... by that I mean if you pull the bolt back and it don't catch the sear and you pull it back again it will double load unless you pull the mag before pushing the bolt in for the second time.

I have to watch Betty Lou when she cycles the mag because she sometimes don't pull it back far enough to engage the sear. If your LDC was off center far enough to do this, I highly doubt you would have made it through the first mag successfully.
I just ordered an urban minutes ago. Hope it goes well. I paid a little extra to go through PA as an insurance that they are easier to work with if I get a lemon. Fingers also crossed.
My Urban worked perfectly for the first 4 weeks, straight out of the box. Last week, out of the blue, the bolt and magazine went out of alignment. Judging from the oring on pellet probe, there had always been an alignment issue, because the oring was all chewed up. Appears the alignment got much worse because now it was really binding when the probe goes through the magazine. Without the magazine, the bolt probe goes into the barrel, smooth as butter. I've tried wiggling the mag around, while trying to advance the bolt, but there isn't much play......so, no point in trying to shim anything. I'll keep messing with it to see if I can resolve the issue. If not, it looks like I'll be loading pellets with needle nose pliers indefinitely, because there's no way I'm paying $50 for another mag!On that note, I actually liking this gun a lot! Especially because I only paid $200, for a very, very good shooter.

I originally went thru the web site for support back in November, spoke with the customer rep a couple of times through email and was promised a new one. It never arrived so I called a couple of weeks ago on a Friday. Had the new one on the following Wednesday. For what its worth, mine is actually much more accurate without the O-ring. The binding seems to deform the pellet skirt when seating. I only bench shoot so ended up taking the O-ring off the new mag and hold my finger over the hole when dropping in the pellets. The last pellet stays in place long enough to put it in the mag well and the loading is smooth as silk.
