After the treatment I took my B-42 and decided to test it. I used "Crosman Pointed pellets" and I shot at a 3/4 inch thick piece of pine wood at 15 feet of distance and I checked the results. On the first shot the pellet almost went thru, on the 3rd shot the pellet went thru completely. I then shot off 5 more rounds and all of them went thru the 3/4 inch thick piece of pine wood with ease. I can safely say my B-42 is now shooting about 800 fps after dieseling. I believe the shot that went thru the pine was with the help of combustion and with a little help of combustion my B-4-2 might have reached up to 900 fps. The results were positive and great.
I then remembered that my new QB-36 had lost some of it's power and was not passing thru the 3/4 inch thick piece of pine, like it used to, I guess the oil dieseled too. I gave my QB-36 the same treatment. I then tested it and it went back to it's original power, 900 fps and was shooting thru the 3/4 inch piece of pine with ease.
