i tried but it was really difficult, on a pic you posted earlier i couldn't see any threads on the barrel itself is it fixed by a grub screw somewhere on the receiver?

$335 for a 9mm SPA/Artemis/Snowpeak M25
- Thread starter Picard
- Start date
Having had a love hate relationship with Diana and SPA, for a extra $150.00, I would just find a used Bulldog. Far better workmanship, service and after market parts. That and the Bulldogs power is in a different dimension than this rifle.

the m25 is well built super simple platform easy to replace parts etc
I'm actually impressed with the plenum on this thing, not easy to find regulated high power
the issue that really breaks it for power is the internal probe screw thing in single shear but I'll see if there's a hole for a spring/ball grub screw under the receiver like there's on the bandit/stormrider with a rubber ball
then drill a little divot in the bolt there

I picked up one from the same deal as @bearair. Here's a quick report on it as it came out of the box. All I did was run a few patches through the barrel and mount a scope to get it on paper.
It is sending the 82gr Snowpeak domes out at 830fps (126fpe). The report makes me think it's wasting air so that will probably be the first thing I address.
Here's the first attempt with the Snowpeak domes at 50 yards.
While that's not an impressive group, given the reputation of Snowpeak pellets, I'm actually pretty optimistic about it. Better pellets will be here next week, and it can only improve with some barrel work.

I got the Utg overbore bipod and vector optics 10x44 on it today. I had to open the channels on the barrel picatinny rail with a file to be able to attach the bipod attachment. I'll either blue the bare spots or get a paint marker. Not that it matters because I plan on leaving the part on there all the time. This gun is way too big for me to walk around with lol. I'll get some pictures eventually. Next up is cleaning the barrel and taking it out to sight it in.

I took the m25 out yesterday. The wind was crazy so I had one heck of a time. Here's a picture of my last attempt at 50 yards.

I did some more work on the barrel yesterday and took it out to do some more testing. Here are some six shots groups at fifty yards with fx pellets, jsb pellets and fx hybrid slugs.

Also keep in mind it's new to me so there could have been some operator error too lol. The bipod has such a wide stance it sits nearly on the edge of my Altima trunk lid at sits on the very edge of the rear window. I will have to take my folding table and chair out next time and see if the groups are better. In all reality all three projectiles were moa of yote at 50 yards.

It honestly is more than likely an operator issue as much as I hate to admit it lol. I do have a Caldwell bag I will try out though. I just need to pack up the folding table and chair next time I go shoot.

I worked some more today on opening the barrel leade. The barrel itself is nearly done lapping. Once I am able to push the projectile in it slides pretty smooth and easily down the barrel. I'm going to finish my crown work too. Probably pull the trigger group off and clean where the hammer rides tomorrow.

Nice group. I finished the crown on mine today and have the leade tamed down. I like the look of the rifling on the projectile now. Decent engagement but slides smooth down the barrel . Then I tore it down and polished the hammer and cleaned everything up really good. The trigger group was a pita but other than that it went good. Maybe get out tomorrow to test.

i loved this because i was thinking of this conversion and as soon as i saw it i went crazy

i have so many questions mate!
1) did you create some "bolt pass" for the ar15 adapter screw? (i don't know if thats the right term)
2) did you just pushed it in and epoxy glued it? And only used one m5 screw to secure it?
3) i found the ar 15 adapter on aliexpress but it makes me choose between "AGG version and GBB version" so which one?
4) an airsoft ar 15 butt stock is eligible since pcp and airsoft are of the same "family" right?
5) why did you cleaned out the inside of the stock?
6) is it sturdy when aiming?
Thanks a lot Picard!!
