Why can't it be bored? Looks like there is plenty of room in your pic. Mine will hopefully be here on Tuesday, might have to start designing a new valve and bottle adapter for an external reg.

Snowpeak New SPA M60 Coming for those who love tinkering
- Thread starter MBG
- Start date
Great first look review Terry! Looks like it isn't too fussy with pellets or slugs.
The main order of these is finally supposed to ship later this week from China. I've had all kinds of delays getting these in, so I apologize to those that have been waiting.

Glad you liked that one, Wes. We hope to get some critters with this airgun soon.
And thanks for the help.

I haven’t adjusted the reg or hammer spring yet. Chrony says mine is running 35 ft lbs at the moment. I haven’t recorded numbers, but I’m getting a few duplicate fps readings. So far, so good there.

Thank you Terry for your intro to this. Interesting item. A lot of YouTube videos about the SPA (or Fox in some markets) M60 in other languages, some of which seem to mention a degree of regulator inconsistency, especially if you take quick follow up shots. Once you get into it further I'd be interested whether you are seeing that or whether that may be an early production issue (it was on the non-B/ pre-B versions).

Indonesian intro/overview here on YouTube, of a "Greyhound M60B" which looks like the SPA. YouTube's translate seems to work.
The video is more of an overview/ marketing intro than a user review, _but_ one noteworthy detail is that there's a quick disconnect fitting, under a dustcap, directly on the adapter that holds the bottle on the gun. Hopefully a sign of things to come and/or maybe available as a part/accessory for ones that may have come through without that.

Wes has mentioned on another forum that he's supposed to be getting upgraded valves with that feature. Obviously I'm going to want one.

I see that Krale now lists SPA M60B in stock in .30 cal and .35 cal, and indicates the following specs for velocity and energy (below)
Mighty intriguing for a rifle in this price category, especially if the accuracy is as good as is reported for the already-available smaller bores.
I wouldn't want the "feed bill" for regular use in the larger bores. But from seeing online disassembly videos of the M60B (looks basic and intuitive with a set of hex keys) it'd be mighty interesting if it might (someday) be possible to acquire an extra set of barrel/probe in the larger calibers (hard to know,yet, if regulator or other parts (regulator, hammer spring, other) would vary substantially), to swap for different seasons/ tasks.
7.62 mm / .30
mps 243 / fps 800
87 j / 64.2 fpe
9 mm / .35
198 mps / 650 fps
102 j / 75.2 fpe
Wes in Canada mentioned on another forum that he will be getting some of the .30 and .35 in a future batch.

If one of the four line up you can but still needs a bigger tp hole if you only use one. I say drill the holes out and use a diamond ball head tool to round the edges for better airflow. Spa airguns don't really care about rounding of sharp edges

I just wanna know how much the reg can be adjusted. If i can crank it up and get 6 good shots at 850 with a 115 gr ill buy right now

I'm thinking of getting on in 25 cal and using it for small game hunting. Plenty of power for me

My P35 in 25 came tuned to shoot JSB 33.95 grains at about 750 fps. That's a bit slow but 42 fpe. It's plenum is quite small too. It shoots H&N FTT best and since they are only 20 grains I turned the regulator down to slow them to 875 fps. The 18 squirrels it has taken for me seemed to think the 32 fpe was plenty.
But if the 30 and 35 have the same small plenum and flow limiting parts, it's curious SPA even bothered. Be interesting to know what they can do and whether internal parts have been changed for the larger calibers.

bon à savoir
je suis assez intéressant de voir ça
in 30 calibers,does it for you good speed for pellet?
