I just bought a Used Nova and every time I fire it the barrel moves up and down , How can you get an accurate shot? I get the in and out part, but like an 1/8 inch up and down???

Thats... weird. It shouldn't be moving vertically outside of normal movement from the kick.
I find them a little awkward to aim, but in practice the shooting is pretty accurate. Could you get a video?💀 PK x Ragnastock 💀 -
I will try and get one tomorrow, I bought it as a gift and gave it to him out of the box.. I wish I would have looked at it first .... But yup , the barrel moves in and out and up and down...Comment

I only have older novas, and I know on one I had a similar issues. I replaced the large o-ring around the barrel, and that did the trick. It held the barrel in rather snug, and there was no more wiggle. I have not seen a new nova though, so I am not sure if there is a similar seal to look at.Comment

This is a known issue on the first batch of the N1s as well, but it seemed to cause more ball loading issues than vertical barrel wobble. Woouulf do you know what batch the Nova in question is from? Replacing the barrel o-ring with a 70 durometer seemed to help. Myrkul sent me a bunch of spares so if you need some drop me your address and I'll send you some.I only have older novas, and I know on one I had a similar issues.

I spoke to Chris about the issues with mine and he confirmed it was a known issue, especially if you are playing in colder temperatures. Changing the 222 barrel collar "o" Ring from 50 durometer to 70 definitely helps a ton. I scooped up a 50 pack on Amazon and there are still a crap ton left. Just PM me your shipping info.
Now I just need to figure out how to add detents and the N1 is going to be a dream machine.
