I would suggest the crown as well- or try some other pellets to see if anything changes. The Daisy pellets never used to come with bent skirts, but maybe they aren't handling them so well anymore- maybe I'll open a few random packages to see what's in the tins.

This is also what I was trying to say in that original post on these QB18's coming in- they are a very nice rifle, but it becomes a question of how to improve the trigger and up the power for those people that have or get a PAL and want to bring it up a bit...
