CAUTION I was given a beautiful kit gun from my mentor. I hunted with it and shot it a lot but it was not accurate . When I got it I worked at Behlerts so I let Austin do an action job where he trimed the spring It was slick But again not accurate enough for me. I would have shot 20000 more rounds from it if it was more accurate . ANYHOW My mentor is up in the years and recoil is bothering him. He asked if he could have it back and he comented on what a nice gun it was. I gave it to him and told him I could never hit anything with it . He took it to the range and when he saw the groop he knew something was wrong. He replaced the mainspring and the groops shrunk. I remember reading an article years ago about Rimfires being inaccurate when not busted hard and I long forgot it till He let me shoot it with the new spring and I tore a jagged hole at 15 yds. Did I mention I would have shot 20000 more rounds from it when I had it. Still have not replaced it but some day I will stumble on one till then the K 22 gets the rangetime. Friends don't let friends cut springs . J.Michael
