Relative to comment on a P35 becoming a project they can be but do not need to be. I paid more like $450 for mine so the current sale at Krale looks like a really good deal to me. I have not touched the regulator or any O-ring in my P35-22 mainly because it shoots so well and has not leaked or done anything else bad. I have messed with the regulator of the 177 and 25 but not because I really had to. If you want a P35 in 22 to be only about 20 fpe you will need to reduce the regulator which requires opening the air chamber. The tool comes with the gun as does some extra O-rings. There is no gauge on the pressure of the regulated chamber so you have to shoot the gun down to see where the reg is. Or just go by velocity if you only really want to reduce the velocity/fpe. I have put a few O-rings into the 177 and 25 and some needed to be replaced but my disassembly and reassembly undoubtedly contributed to that. All three have been in my mind reliable. I've had the 177 and 22 since June of 2022 and I got the 25 in late 2021.
I also did a little mild tuning to a bullshark for another member. I just got the hammer spring better balanced to the regulator and tried different pellets to determine what was most accurate. It was not real picky but seemed to like the H&N Baracuda Match the best, the same one my P35-22 likes. It is pretty heavy to only be at 20 fpe but the preference might change some at a lower regulator setting.
I've also made my own wood stocks for all three but that is because woodworking is my other hobby and because I have really big hands and long arms so I prefer non-standard dimensions. The stock they come with is plastic but it's well made and works fine. The Stoeger bullshark has a different stock that is about a pound heavier but that gun is still only about 6 pounds.
So mine have been projects but mostly because I wanted the to be. I had to do more work on my Caiman X than I've had to on my 3 P35s but Utah Air would have fixed it for me.
I like my P35s as much as my Caiman X. They are not very expensive but I really think they are nice guns.
