My nose runs and my feet smell therefore, I conclude, I'm upside down.

Much Plinkage occured yesterday. Among the weaponry used was Flatrajectory's Umarex C02 BB Winchester. (Thanks Pete, it's a great gun

)

Anyway; a Plinkage mate told me to try and hit the red top off a washing up liquid bottle. 13 yards away/free standing/pellet.

I did!

First shot!

As I've said many times before, I don't class myself as a good shooter by any means but I do class these guns as really good.

It got me thinking; if I can hit the above (and loads of other stuff as well) with a rifle that Mr Umarex say's 'do not fire pellets with these rifles', what would these rifles be like with a pellet friendly rifled barrel? Has anyone on here made a rifled barrel for one or know of anyone who has? I'm certain if it has been done it would notch the accuracy up no end! On a gun that's already accurate!

P.S. This is the Umarex BB firing 'Winchester' or, as they call it, the 'Cowboy Rifle'.
