It's a secret!Ok, I thought I'd try a Daisy 499B barrel, or 2 of them concatenated, to see if I can get satisfactory BB precision at 25 yards or beyond. It's pretty good with the stock barrel, but still some wild fliers I'd like to try to eliminate. Are you familiar with Black Barrel Customs on YouTube? He's using carbon fiber shot tubes in Red Ryders. Might be doable in a 35.

He's using carbon fiber shot tubes in Red Ryders. Might be doable in a 35.I have not but will, thank you! I looked into CF tubes for a different project, hadn't considered them for this. This particular manufacturer held ID to +0.002 / -0.000, so a 4.5mm tube would be 0.177xx to 0.179xx. I measured Daisy Avanti's from .1738 to .1751, so wow, that could work...

I believe the 35 is a derivative of the 840 series (smooth bore SSP). i dont ever remember it being rifled, but since cutting and replacing the barrel was an option, i never went back. By the way, it was less accurate with BBs than say a RR... and i think it was because they shot the BB too fast. Mine with pellets now will easily hit a quarter at 25 yards with every shot.
I just ordered one of Ron's triggers off eBay. I love this little rifle so much I've got to give it a nice trigger.

Be careful once the trigger wears in, the pressure drops to the point you don't wanna touch the trigger until your ready. I have one on my 87 880 and when I've been shooting my 1977s then get my 87 out I often misfire because I put too much pressure one the trigger at rest. It is really frustrating when I'm trying to train the scope on a squirrel and it goes off because I let my finger get heavy on the trigger LOL.Yall, got me thinking about picking up a 35 to tinker with. Looks like a lotta love for the 35.
