I ordered a 350M .22 from Mid-South Shooters Supply and had it
shipped directly to Paul Watts. Paul did a ADV Tune (advanced
tune)including trigger work and cut/choked/recrowned barrel.
12" barrel with a 10" short shroud/muzzle weight added.
That tuned 350M carbine was quite nice! Very quiet smooth
cocking, quick linear shot cycle that didn't feel like a low
20s FPE springer. Should have kept it!
My bone stock 460M feels/shoots as well as the tuned 350M and
seems a tad less hold sensitive. It's also a .22 and a tad more
powerful than the tuned/shortened 350M. About a FPE or so depending
on pellet shot except for Kodiaks. Kodiaks are a very tight fit in
my 460M. JSB Exact Express (14.3 gr) deliver the most power in my
460M - clocking high 850s to low 860s fps MV.
My tuned/modded 350M looked a lot like the new Pro Compact 350Ms.
IIRC with the short shroud/muzzle weight slid all the way down it
was near 42" OAL. No harder to cock either with the fat grip and
Paul's work to make it smooth (adjusted, buttoned piston, etc.).
The 45" OAL 460M is still sweet but I'd love to have one 42" OAL -
heck make that 40"! Even if it robbed a couple of FPE I wouldn't
mind. Nor mind the bit harder cocking. I'm a carbine fan
