Just like my previous review, I will be posting my initial impressions, as well as a longer followup after extended play. I will also be posting the "backstory" of this marker.
Played with the GT2 last night. It might be new marker excitment, but I liked it. Depsite my typical trigger preference, I found the GT2 very easy to get and keep in ramp. The shot quality is amazing, super smooth but I wouldn't call it mushy.
Only issue was some oddly inconsistent FSDO, and the occasional really low shot. I did pull the bolt out yesterday and there was *a lot* of lube on the bolt, and it appeared to be clear and pretty thick. It didn't look like the MacDev lube to me. Knowing this marker came from Immortal Air, my local field tech thought maybe it was the same lube they use in their regs, which might be too thick.
I did a full clean and relube with the MacDev lube this morning, hopefully that helps with FSDO issues. I also hope that break-in reigns in the consistency.
Despite the insert concerns, I really like the forward angled porting on the barrel. It's quiet, and I think that impacts the impression of the shot. I might pick up a more moderate size, like a .684ish since .681 is way too small for our field paint, but .689 is pretty big. (Yes, I know and understand the barrel bore science, but my personal experience is that a slight overbore yields best results.)
