Ghost Ghost is inbound to my house * FIGURED OUT THE ACCURACY ISSUE!!!!!!! *

Can't wait to hear and see your results when the Sub MOA barrel comes in and you get it installed. Be there by Christmas it sounds like. Merry Christmas to you!

Merry EXPENSIVE Christmas Yeah we're in a cool situation all of a sudden....Sub moa barrel or Brk slug barrel...hmm!? Ima gonna wait and see myself how they both get on.

I am going to assume the Sub-MOA will be a better option. But who knows until they are out

Well just got done polishing the barrel and did a magazine through the rifle. The cleaning patches went through really smoothly and things went good. The only real way to test is to go to the range again to test. Though with deer season going on right now so range time is limited.

Well I removed the barrel and I did a good cleaning and a polishing job. Took my time and made sure to make things good and clean. Did a few test shots in the house and things looked good.......now fast forward to today. I went to the range with my shooting buddy, NDWind, and at 50 yards the groups looked like a shotgun again! So I was a little more than upset I removed the DonnyFl Yokozuna and decieded to shoot and see what happens. Well I wasn't even on paper!

So brought the target back to 25 yards and again .... nothing. After playing I was able to find that I was around two feet to the right and two feet low! Well that caught my attention, and I was able to adjust the scope and got on paper and a wonderful group at 25, 50, and 100 yards! This was the first time at 100 yards that I was able to have pellet in pellet and an over all group of around the size of a quarter. So I grabbed the Yokozuna and attached it and tried that at 50 yards......again not hitting the paper and watching the pellet spiral something horrible.

Imagine my horror when I opened up the Yokozuna and I see lead smears on EVERY BAFFLE! That is what was causing the accuracy issues all along. Once removed the accuracy was back to a single hole at 50 yards with the 50 grain pellets, and a little larger at 100 yards. So happy to have the accuracy I was expecting with this rifle, and to find it was something as simple as the moderator. So now I have to find out if the barrel is weird, the air stripper is faulty, or if the Yokozuna is faulty.

Brooo remember when I said I shoot em 100% stock for a while before modding.... this is why! Pellet on pellet @ 100?!? Jealous.....but in all honesty it's was pretty windy when I shot my 3inch group @ 100. Glad she's coming together, is the silencer for a .25 perhaps?
Oh also...I have pulled barrel 3 times now, second time there was a massive poi shift, and I have no idea why, other than barrel locking set screw was loose. It was low and right by inches @ 40Y I remember....3rd time (after the big clean) she was high and left so I knew It was good again .

I have a few others that I am going to try. It was nice to see the rifle actually shoot for a change and see what the rifle is able to do.
