open sighted Diana N-tec 350 hits low with heavy grain pellets

All sleeved Waiting for the JB weld to dry.
I did both of my guns, hoping to calm the barrel flip/kick on the hw95.
I'll update after testing soon.

You should have a sample of the glue that you mixed up to determine when it is set.  Don't be tempted to stress the glue until a few hours after it is set...

You are the only one that can determine this.  Don't jump the gun

Yes, let it sit overnight.  Did you leave enough room to cock the gun?

The sleeve fixed the problem.

I shot 12 shots, 6 barracudas and 6 with FTT, the bottom right flyers from the 'cudas and the left from FTT. 15 yards. without any sight adjustments 

I stripped the front sight and the front sight rails also look shaved too, it flew off twice.

So, David

The medium and heavy pellets that grouped 5" apart vertically now land at the same elevation?  Jolly good then.

How much of that would you estimate is due to the sleeve, and how much due to bending the barrel?

Bending the barrel moved all pellets up, but the 5 to 6" gap between average grains and the 21 barracudas remained.

After fitting the sleeve the average weight pellets like FTT, went back down like I hadn't done the bend and the barracudas elevated up. It's like they met in the middle. This confirms that each grain/weight pellet makes the barrel dance differently.


I'm kinda bummed that it made the normal FTT pellets shoot lower like I didn't do the bending, the back sight was nice and tight with the bend. On the other hand, it's easier to cock, it looks good, and most importantly the barrel has to be stiffer and strighter after sleeving.
I'm waiting for some JSB 18 grains. to come in mail.

Sounds good to me.

Good Job!

Most of all it shows how much barrels shake when we release a pellet, LOL!

Keep well and shoot straight!
