| The lengthy period of time that was mentioned is beyond dispute. The question is, what could possibly take so long for the tune and custom-repair of this rifle?
This:
The RWS 460 is a rifle that no other experienced tuner wants to touch, one for which ARH won't make or sell parts, and one that even the manufacturer-distributor hasn't been able to reliably-fix at its widely-sold, factory-designed, high-velocity set-up.
Yet, doing exactly that has been my goal all-along. Bottom line: This was not a simple little custom-repair.
I've truly come to see why several other people in this business won't take on a problem of this type and magnitude and try to fix it at any price. However, I'm also notoriously-stubborn about not giving up, and just telling someone they're stuck with a lemon. That well-intentioned stubbornness of mine may have to change in the future, based on where it has me at this exact moment (right here in the dreaded 'Negative' category).
Status: It took me a lot of work and testing to get it working right, but that's behind me now. All I ask for is an update if and when it proves to be fixed.
The "if" part of that latter statement is merely hypothetical. I'm pretty-highly-confident that my tuner-tested repair is going to work well and stay that way. I just need to get this significantly-modified (and fully-tuned) air-beast back back home to its owner.
Once that happens, let's see what we see.
