Patience left the building weeks ago. I do have 2 or 3 extra GM .25 barrels, but I don't think that I will go that direction. As long as it's done correctly, I can wait , kind of. With all of the pumping that I will be doing, it's probably best that it be a bit cooler out .
All - Don't shoot the messenger but there have been a few delays with the 362. Vendors are busy and lead times getting extended. With that said, we are getting close. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you all. John

I'm casting 22 grain wadcutters, and I'm hoping for around 550 fps. This is going to be for short range feeder patrol.

Hi Ed I think that is a pretty achievable goal... and I think that heavy of a waddcutter just might have pretty durn good 30 yard accuracy to boot at that velocity... heavier wadcutters seem to do better than the lighter... Back in 2013-2014 I made a 1325(became my 1322 XLT) 19" 25 barrel(from Trail XL 725) using a 2100 pump tube with a custom extended (.3")valve nose and moved valve back .3"...used the old style 2 piece piston... what that gave me was a 2100 pump with the valve volume just about equal to the 13xx valve... I believe the 362 is functionally very close to what I made... when all was done got 650 fps with 20g H&N FTT... at about 15-17 pumps... but was about 550 at 10 pumps... May need to do some porting tho...
All- I love that you already have parts to modify this rifle and you have yet to even see it! I think it is great you all are so into the products and just from a picture can figure what is going on with the rifle and what parts you want to add. Just to tease some: The velocities are legit. This has the FPE to be a viable small game platform in stock form. I am excited to see what power you all get out of it once you start with the mods! I would love to be able to fire up pre-orders for the forum members but that is way out of my control! I can however pass that info along and see what people say. John
