SL and Cayugad,

Thanks so much for digging into this issue. I know I'm relatively new but shooting/tinkering with my MZ occupies alot of my free time (as much as is afforded with work and four young kids). With that said, I'll do most anything to improve the accuracy of my PH so long as the cost isn't too high. I couldn't stand it if I ruined my barrel...it would be a long sping and summer saving up for a new one...again, four kids and great wife but one income only goes so far. I went big with the PH (for me) thinking it would last me a long time til things get a little easier.

Thanks again!
