I'm sure there is a safety margin built in. Over pumping on a gun that was not beefed up for it just puts extra strain on the linkage, pivot pins and the holes for those pins. It also puts added strain on the screw that retains the valve.At the end of the day... it's your gun, you paid for it, treat it however you want.For me, I live by the rule.... if the gun I have is not up to the task at hand I will go in the house and get one that is.
As long as the guns properly lubricated, you should have no problems with the C362 linkage at 8 pumps. We recommend one drop of pellgun oil every 250 shots on the Pump lever pivot, linkage rivet, and piston pin. This procedure is followed when this gun is cycle tested to 10,000 shots w/8 pumps. (Yes.... that's 80,000 pumps.) Proper lube goes a long way. jk

80,000 will pellgun oil. I wonder how long it would last with some moly lube? I'm getting tired just thinking about it. 😁

I have been working moly powder into the pivot points Should help with long term wear, the piston gets pellgun oil. Happy with the 7 pumps, in overall performance, kind of a sweet spot in many brands of pumpers. I better order my next 362, I'm already 800 pumps into this one LOL, the next one gets the mods, so wont be long
