two 499Bs the Chronograph results

So, I have a bone stock 499B and one with Cobalts power spring kit that Ron installed for me. Keep in mind the power spring is brand new with maybe five warm up shots for a test.

I expect the Cobalt spring kit may increase in fps as it breaks in. I am very happy, I went from no working 499s to two fine examples.

Next: accuracy test comparing both, a shoot out.

I suspect the cocking effort is twice as heavy, too.
Remember these rifles were designed for kids, some of which would be shooting from the prone position.
Note: You do not want to shoot against them..

BTW
Tom Gaylord did a nice blog on the PA website about the 499b..

The cocking effort is a bit more, don't think I would say twice as heavy. It's not enough to be a thing. At 76 I'm not shooting against any kids. I wouldn't have had the kit installed in the 499B except it wasn't working, figured I may as well try one with the power spring.

I just bought those exact targets and tried them out tonight.  The 499B is awesome!
