I recently purchased a redfin that was modded McKenna method. It’s the best swimming redfin out of all others I’ve tried..
What’s the McKenna mod?
Sealed inside and out with zap a gap.
Loaded with 10 cc of water. Upgraded hardware.
I purchased a HG loaded at the vintage show. Campo told me directly this wasn’t his. It swims like a turd.
I’ve loaded tons over the years with bb’s with good results..
I bought a plug at that show from same guy , he said it was a campo HG load probably not does not swim great !
