FDPCP on CO2

Right now I am running it on air shooting silhouette at an indoor range. It is very accurate, but I am considering using CO2. I like it better than the XS60-C, due to it's weight.
On air, it is a little too powerful, and the power is set to low. So, since this is the main use of the rifle, I was thinking about CO2 to slow it down.
Anyone out there that can give me feedback on running CO2?

I am not sure but think in your gun Mike uses orings resistant to co2. I use urethane orings which is resistant to swelling from the co2. But not necessary for the bolt and barrel.
Just empty the air out and use a paintball co2 set up with a short hose (wastes less gas) with a 1/8" female foster fitting.
To lessen power on air. I would reduce the transfer port size and reduce the hammer spring tension for starters if you want to do some tinkering. JMO

IN order to stay within my knowledge, I did check the power adjustment. The o rings would be an emergency, before I would take the rifle apart along with the port.
Mike set it for as slow as he could get it, to wring 25 shots, actually it will do 35 aimed shots.
I plan on getting co2 into it in the next couple days.

Sounds like a plan. Co2 is somewhat self regulating. Depending on the temperature psi will vary. To many quick shots and the tube will get cold and psi will drop. Just in case you weren't aware of this.

Took a while, seemed like 100 shots to empty the air from the rifle. Put some CO 2, between 2-3 oz. Shot at least 70 aimed shots at 10 yards, no dropping. Will have to try it next Monday.

you could snip a few coils off of the hammer spring and slow it down. i would go 1 at a time til i found the sweet spot.

Tried using CO2 at a match. It shot slower and quieter, but it showed me that my shooting style had problems. It appears that I am pushing the rifle to the left during the trigger pull. Being slower I was able to pull a number of shots.
I decided to go back to air, it really took a while to get the CO2 emptied. I also need to work on my technique of offhand shooting. Twenty years of cowboy shooting has made me a little less precise. That and 73 years of shaking.
