Hi Mike, these have been a relatively good rifle and generally speaking are conducive to good accuracy. However, the barrels are extremely thin and not ideally suited to muzzle thread turning and suppression. The barrels are also prone to loss of accuracy through corrosion which often goes unnoticed by both shooters and gunsmiths.

Please test the rifle without its suppressor to begin with. If the rifle continues to produce vertical stringing, it may be a sign of a harmonic or heat stress problem within the barrel. Make sure you wait a good deal between shots during initial load work. You can test a string of fast shots later, with or without the suppressor.
