I'm super busy this week. So, if you can wait till next week, I'll post a pic of the adapter I made and how I use it to open the gun up. I'll also post a pic of how I replaced the front sight with a M1 carbine front sight. I replaced the rear open sight with a Williams peep sight.
I've been working on refinishing the stock. The stock is made of some seriously hard wood and sanding takes forever! When removing the finish, it left a milky color in the wood which needs sanded off. Its an aggravating amount of work. However, I have to admit I really like the feel of this stock. This gun feels good in the hands. So I do enjoy shooting it.
I'd like to say more but life is calling me again.

Know what you mean by life calling. Very interested in the pics, and if "operation" goes according to plan I'm considering a first-time stock refinish too :D

The Beeman 0035 is a Spanish made gun by Norica-Laurona. Also marketed as the Marksman 0035. It was one of my first break barrels when I started out in the airgun hobby. As a matter of fact, one of my first visits with CDT (aka Bob Werner) in Simpsonville SC was a crash course in springerology. “Charlie” was a super nice guy and we rebuilt the old 0035 and it was quite an experience. He had a Diana 34 he had just tuned and it was the first time I had ever seen a Diana rifle. I’ve been a mess ever since!!!!!
The 0035 is/was an entry level “cheapo Beeman” for those that couldn’t afford the Weihrauch made stuff. It was also known as the Beeman Silver Bear rifle. Hench the marketing of the light weight hp H&N pellets that Dr Beeman had rebranded with his name. ‘Crow mag’ theoben, ‘Kodiak! Webley and Scott, etc. You get the idea. I loved the ease of shouldering and light weight of the gun,… but the trigger was God Aweful!!! Auto safety with a unique safety release fore of the trigger blade. Ended up selling it or giving it away at some point. Still have a few spare springs if anyone wants them.

@tjk,
I'm going to have to take mine apart and it was shooting 400's before the seal gave up --- I would love to have one of those spare springs!!! (I'll PM you?)
Do you recall what year you got your 0035?
I've got a Dana 34, never did manage to get it straightened out...
Thanks!!!

I think I got that gun around 2008 or 2009. But the date of the gun probably dated back to the early 1990’s (??? Maybe) when Beeman sold out to the “sports & recreation” whoever that also bought out the Marksman brand. The cheaper branded Beemans and Marksman’s were kind of melded together there for a while I believe but don’t quote that as absolute fact. When I ordered an owners manual
From the address on the gun, the brochure was an owners manual for the “Beeman Silver Bear” rifle with the Beeman bear logo on it. That’s how I knew the gun was marketed by different companies over time. Later that company sold out to a Chinese manufacturer that still makes models branded as Beeman. Kind of a poor man’s low powered plinker. Mine Marksman 0035 had the pentagon “F” stamped on the breech block too.
