Carbon fiber tanks have an aluminum liner. The aluminum is to seal the air in and the carbon fiber resists the forces from the air - and potentially bipod.

Before I made wood stocks for my 3 P35s I attached a bipod using a 34mm scope picatinny adapter. The air tube of the P35 is about 33mm so I put some tape in the adapter to take up the clearance. It worked well but you had to get the rotation right, of course, or you were building in cant. Now...

With a regulated gun it should not matter what your tank pressure is until it reaches the setting of the regulator. If you do not have a gauge (like 4 of my 5 regulated PCPs) you shoot them down to the point the velocity starts to fall. That is your regulator setting. I use chronographs from...

I think it depends on what distance benchrest you want to shoot. There is a youtube channel I watch sometimes called "AirAbility". The host is a champion at 25 yard benchrest in England. I do not even know if that is a thing in the US, if that is where you are. He has specific gun and scope...

A quick search on "Lucky Gunner" website shows the cheapest 22lr is over 6 cents a round and target type ammunition is often more like 30-40 cents around. I just bought 1600 H&N Baracuda FT pellets for my P35-177 and paid about 3 cents a round delivered from Pyramyd air. Admittedly I took...

This one was shot with my P35-177 using H&N Baracuda FTTs going about 875 fps out the muzzle. I think the pellet went in the upper shoulder or neck and went up the neck and into the skull. It seems to be sticking out between the eyes but I didn't cut the skin on the head to see if the pellet...

If the regulator is not working you should get a bell shaped curve like it didn't have a regulator. Lower velocity at higher tank pressure, higher velocity as the pressure drops. My Caiman with a Huma regulator jumped around some at first, I found gobs of silicone grease on the springs...

Nice post. I've only been airgunning for a few years after retiring but I hope I end as well. I share your affinity for a backyard range. It is legal where I live even though I have neighbors within 100 feet on each side. I only have 35 yards and to get that much requires shooting from my...

I am not shooting well today, shot a 191 earlier today from the 5.52 head size Baracuda 18s and seem to be shooting worse tonight. But I ran out of the 5.52s and starting shooting some 5.53s. I was fine tuning my POI at 30 yards and had it nailed down with the 5.52s just as I ran out. To my...

I've measured over 100 Baracuda 18s for head size and they were all 5.52 or 5.53 according to my gauge using my technique. That little bit of head size difference does not seem to affect accuracy at the relatively short range I'm shooting. I would expect to see that much variation in the H&N...

My P35 will only push JSB MkII 33.95 pellets to about 800 fps. I had to put on an aftermarket 35cc (bigger) plenum to get them going that fast. The barrel is 450mm long and the hammer spring can only open the regulated chamber when the regulator is set below 150 bar. But it is accurate at...

I am facing east when I shoot from my bench to my trap at home. In the morning, there are times I just cannot shoot without a sunshade on the scope and a hat with a brim. I tried a honeycomb that came on one of my scopes and it did not do anything for me. But the long sunshade that came with...

The bullshark was made by SPA, the manufacturer of the P35, but there are a few differences. The Bullshark has a 490mm barrel, the P35 has a 450mm barrel. The keep the gun the same length the Bullshark has a different baffle design in the shroud which seems to be very effective. I shot a 22...

The Norika looks a lot like my much less expensive P35s. I also bought a Caiman X earlier this year (for $1400). Mine had multiple issues with the regulator, I'll be curious if yours does too. The biggest issue is, I think, a design issue. The regulator was not venting the spring area to...

I think the packaging shown in #27 helps. Seems to work better in the slightly padded envelope Amazon uses. My other theory is that keeping the weight down helps. Single tins, no multiples where the envelope weighs more and may slam into things in transit harder. But still it is a bit of a...

I don't have a problem with repeatability but the "measurement" you get with the pelletgage is definitely a matter of how you use it. If you just take the smallest hole the head will drop through it may be more consistent. What I do is wiggle it around a bit. I can get it to go through a...

I have P35s in 177, 22, and 25. The only one I have not changed the regulator on is the 22, it's the most accurate as-is. All I did was reduce the spring pressure on the first stage (to near zero), reduce the second stage a little with a longer sear screw and set the hammer spring more...

Happy to help whenever I can. Not a lot of us wise enough to shoot SPA guns and their "manuals" are not much help. But fortunately their guns are pretty gun and a lot of fun to shoot.

The copper coated "power" 177 pellets shoot pretty well from my P35-177. My Prod absolutely LOVES the copper coated H&N FTTs in 22. It does not like unplated FTTs but shoots Crosmans pretty well. It's odd how guns have such strong preferences.

Looks a lot like the Huma in my Caiman. You need snap ring pliers to take off the snap ring and look at the bellville washers. In my Huma they were caked in silicone grease. I agree, that looks like a lot for the adjuster screw area but I don't understand what issue it would create. Having...
