Squint down the barrel. Any bend will be obvious.


That's why I am pretty certain there is a bend haha!! I was hoping a temporary solution would be electrical tape in 3 specific points to try and hold it straighter inside the outer barrel (which is already fubared). There was no shimming between the inner and outer barrel as it was, but there is a good 2-4mm gap between inner and outer barrel at least up until just before the mock flash hider where the outer barrel tapers down to be nice and snug

 
Try rolling just the barrel on a smooth flat surface like a kitchen work top/table. You'll see if it's bent as it'll wobble or arch...

I did try that first, but my barrel has a metal lip going around 2 3rds of the way around the barrel, and then a flat spot, so 1 end always lifts up as I roll it. When I get my phone back next week I will try and get a decent pic of a squinty barrel view lmao  

 
It was my plastic outer barrel that was pi$$ed

shots were fairly straight-ish but always shooting to the right

I had to REALLY pi$$ the rear sight to the far left to compensate

(still wasn't quite enough but sort of straighter)

On closer inspection, looking at outer barrel it was curved or bent at around the front sight to the tip

The barrel is plastic but looking at the thing like buying a bit of timber batten or something at yard

Yup looks nice, nice n smooth, no real knots as you turn the batten over & over.....

Whoa hold up that thing is bent like a banana - f*ck that one

I mean the nub/bucking could be sitting out of whack or inner barrel a smidge bent

but in my case it was the pi$$ed outer barrel meant the thing was way out to even begin with

As I said - spend little money/time investing in it & just use it for what it is

live with its real cheapo-ness and really avoid trying to replace stuff

DON'T go nutz to buy:

New Gearbox

New outer/inner barrel

hack stuff up for one piece hop unit etc....

You go toooooooo nutz & you will end up with Trigger's broom (Fools & Horses)

Love it when a bit of philosophy makes you laugh. I was actually wondering yesterday, if I get a new shell gearbox barrel hop up unit would it still be the same cheap ass gun haha >.< Hopefully someone on this forum has a cheap outer shell/outer barrel I can use for the time being then saving up for next year :)  for the time being a bucking (and new fire selector switch as I snapped mine off >.<) will do me okay. There is no way my sight is ever going to compensate THAT far right. I found it was okay as long as I wasn't going to a too long range and with 0 hop up it wasn't too much of an issue as I wasn't shooting at the maximum range. Just got to make sure we don't go to a huge sprawling site as ill be buggered haha >.< 

Also had my fair share of non-hit takers. I'm surprised how little it bothered me, one was hilarious. This guy wearing all black was stood up behind a barricade about 20 metres from us. Me, my partner and another person stood up in a staggered formation and all on auto fired at him for a good 5-second burst, he literally just stood there, then popped down his head after we had stopped firing. The only time I got even a little-pissed off was when a member of our team shot be almost point blank in the back of my leg, twice, and all I got was a mumbled sorry. My partner says she thought she saw him having issues with his gun earlier on but still took me a few mins to bite my tongue and cool off. 

 It really sucks you have to use the same site 3 times as although the xsite at lane end was alright, I think that site would only be at its best early spring and late autumn when it isn't a quagmire or overgrown lol (Oh also xsite lane ends prices have now gone up and are £10 more expensive than absolute, that's £10 more for a site that SERIOUSLY needs a lot of sh*t torn down and rebuilt) 

My partner wants to go to absolute up in reading next. Literally, the next day after the Xmas game she was nagging which dates absolute was open >.<
