Enabler  I guess that's the route I'll take if I can't any satisfaction with the factory pipes.

I haven't been around in some time, but thought I'd come and give an update on this. After hearing nothing out of Crosman for 3 months on my replacement barrel, even though tracking showed it was signed for on April 2nd, I called them a couple weeks ago. Apparently, they never logged the barrel that was sent back to them as being returned for warranty work, and never contacted me to let me know anything at all. So when I called, they said they'd ship me a new barrel out ASAP. I got my new barrel today, and sadly it appears nothing has been fixed at Crosman almost 4 months after I received the first barrel. The new barrel shows that same gouge marks in the end of the rifling / crown as the others. They obviously don't care about their reputation, or their customers. And that's fine by me, as I no longer care about them, or giving them any of my hard earned money. Lesson learned, I should have saved more money and bought a better gun to begin with.

Few things. Crosman has only one "s". Had to say it, sorry.

Also, a lot of barrels that don't look great will still shoot fine. Crown does not have to be pretty to make good groups.

Air rifles are not rimfires, different techniques can be effective.

And Crosman makes relatively inexpensive PCPs. Expecting MOA out of one of the least expensive repeater rifles may not be reasonable.

Nothing personal, but Crossman does have 2 S's... the second one stands for SLOPPY' I have had 3 barrels from Crosman and none of them are any good, total scrap metal. Also, if the crown doesn't look good it is probably Not good and yes the crown on any gun has to be perfect.

All my barrels looked like WNCmotard's barrel, you will find a lot of bad .22 barrels from Crosman on this forum!

Just my 2 cents worth and I will stick to it, just dont give me a nickle cause I'll be lost lol

This is why I steer clear of Crosman products. "Oh we sent you a bad crowned barrel? Here we'll send you another one again without even inspecting it."

I have to say something.
I recently bought a disco. It is the most accurate weapon i have ever fired. Crosman has been nothing but great in their customer service [bent bolt handle due to shipping company]
I believe they listen and are working to keep us happy.
Thank you Crosman

It looks like I also got lucky with my .177 Disco, as it is quite accurate with the cheap CPHP. It does better with a few other pellets, but not for the price!

I haven't looked at the crown or other machined parts of the barrel though, and it could be exactly the same as others here, and I just got lucky. However it is though, I'm not changing it any time soon!

Good luck to the rest of you, hopefully you will find a barrel that works well for you, or a different company known for good barrels!

I used to have a sweet 2400KT build that had a 24" .177 barrel on it. Shot lights out with boxed CP domes.
