Is there anything on the market like this little pistol? Left hand cocking, ammo magazine, available in .22? They have been perpetually out of stock since September with no restock date and I fear at this point they may never be back in stock. I've looked at the Crossman, but the action on the wrong side is a non starter for me. Looking to stay away from PCP for this one.
 
I own what I believe to be the first version of that pistol to be distributed in the U.S., marked MRodAir Air Max Target Master. Mine is .177, and modified to return twice as many shots per cartridge as when stock, at the same power level as stock (5 foot pounds). I've adjusted the trigger to break like a glass rod at 12 ounces (per my digital trigger-pull gauge). My testing notes below-

.177 MRodAir Air Max Target Master bolt-action Co2 pistol-

8.4 gr FX, as received, 14 shot powerband - Low= 499, High= 537, ES= 38, SD= 11.7, Average= 525 FPS/5.1 FPE

8.4 gr FX, dual hammer-springs mod, 30 shot powerband- 494 / 533 / 39 / 9 / 524 / 5.1

This pistol is a good example of how much some Chinese airguns can be improved with a bit of creative monkeying. Shot-count on the stock gun was laughable. Replacing the hammer spring with a shorter AND a second light spring more than doubled the shot-count.
10/6/2022- Four consecutive 3 shot groups at 25 yards averaged 1.12” c-t-c in medium winds.

I've since put the factory adjustable sights back on it, and could part with it either way. If interested, call or text me at 254-253-1239.

If it was a .22 I would be all over it, thank you for the offer. Unfortunately my use for it as a snake/grouse gun when hiking requires it to be a .22 for legality reasons.
