CzechMeOut Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Purchased a JG G3 as a project for £50. I've upgraded it and it's brilliant (rock solid gearbox!). Only issue is the barrel is bent to the left. The inner barrel is fine (I've actually replaced it) but the outer barrel is bent to the left. Still getting consistent 430fps (DMR) and groupings but to the left, so I can't adjust the scope far enough. I was thinking of shimming the scope but ideally I'd like to straighten the barrel itself. Is this a common problem? Any ideas? Obviously it's all plastic so flexes easily. Looking for the G&G metal reciever but very expensive.

Got any pics from a different angle?
CzechMeOut Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 No it's definitely the barrel. Looks like the previous owner may have took a tumble and bent it.
