N/A Compacts Only

It looks like you switched the air tubes between the 1358 and 2027.
I still have the 2027 and tuned it to 625-660FPS for 4 mags (48 shots) with 7.4 grain pellets.
The 2027 would make a great short compact with the right stock.
I just wish I could get a 3D design and print a cheap short stock for the Beeman 2027.
I can 3D print anything if I have the STL files.

Here’s mine at 27.5”. Western Sidewinder S in .25. Shoot mostly JSB Mk II 33.95g at 875 fps. It is quite accurate out to 100 yards and stacks pellets at 50 yards. I was surprised at how well the full auto groups once you get the hang of shooting it. I’ll throw a DNT or Pard NV or thermal scope on it and use it on raccoons. Semi-auto is great once they’re treed!

What do you lovely people consider a " Shorty" ?. In my warped view of the world a rifle is 36 inches plus, a carbine is 30 to 36 inches, and compact is 27 to 30 inches and shorty is under 27 inches. EXCLUDING SEPARATE MODERATOR. I promise not to get into how you say "Carbine" 
There are some seriously sexy guns on this thread.

I admire you guys that have the skill and time to do a true build. Must take hundreds of hours to mill the receiver, machine the barrel, make the trigger group, etc. Making the stock probably takes as long as making all the aforementioned parts. Very rare to see a true build. Most of the builds I see are making custom parts for existing platforms. Which is cool but not what I would consider a true build. Here’s one of my favorite true builds made by @bsahogger : https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/homemade-pcp-receiver.1317733/

I put the trigger setup from the 1358 on the 2028 pistol tube and breech/barrel. Had to shorten the trigger rod and then made a stock to fit it. The scope/trigger mount is also off the 1358, just cut it down to size.

Just used 1/4" panel wood, made a stencil, and cut out to fit. Stacked them together and glued/clamped. Finished and filled with Fiberglass and body filler. Then did a sponge camo job.

I bought a western mordax .25 and it shoots great. I also but an extra magazine that doesnt go in as smooth. Is there a break in period for the mags?

33 in BullShark in .22 moved the shroud rearward … very quiet with a coned tanto. Great shooter

Diana Skyhawk .22. My least expensive PCP. A very accurate, light weight little shooter. I purchased it because I liked the looks of its walnut stock. Performs above my expectations. Very quiet, effective shroud. I think I paid $700 for this walnut version.
29" total length.

Perle, I believe it's basically the same gun. Diana made a couple changes in the trigger linkage, and added the Minelli walnut furniture.
I've been impressed, which doesn't come easy.
Have fun.

Some times i am a bit sad i am so long gun centric.
I think if i was able to get.22 i would be able to join the compact pack.
