I did. They are out of stock. Krale has them with shroud, moderator, 500cc bottle, in stock. For very little more money, for those that want one now.

To bad Krale doesn’t take PayPal lol bet they would sell more airguns and accessories.

I'm on the fence as well but I'm almost positive I'm going with the M60B over the Avenge-x...........for now 😂

I'd order from Wes at Air Archery and wait.  I've ordered three P35s from Krale and they are OK but after sale support isn't too good.  I haven't ordered anything from Wes and get quicker responses and better answers from him.  Support has to be worth something.

I wanted one but then I found out how heavy they were. That's the main reason I don't use my Cayden much, so I'm going to pass.

Pretty heavy with the bottle it came with. swapped in a .22lt bottle. figured out the reg adjust.

How much weight did it save? I'm pretty much over heavy guns based on how I use mine.

I try to fall in love with these fancy rifles but until they get the weight down to no more than 7 pounds bare I am probably out. By the time a scope and a bipod is added and maybe a sling and light then the working weight is just too much for a carry about rifle.

It is a good looking piece of equipment, I give it that, even not being particularly into the tactical look, it is a clean looking machine :). Just too heavy for still hunting.

Was shooting off my stick and found myself reaching under the trigger guard cocking it with my left hand. Lets me keep the sight picture on target.
Reg was set at 150b shooting fx 8.4 1015fps. dropped the reg to 100b shooting rws 9.3 850. got dark on me and snowflake.

Crunchy spring sound slow cocking it. Shoots rws supermag 9.3 hole in hole if you can hold it. Best Snowpeak barrel I’ve had. Haven’t cleaned the barrel yet 1/2 a pellet tin. Reg creeps 10b so first shot hot 905 drops 860. Reg was set 150b out the box dropped it to 100b.

  How does it balance ? Front heavy I imagine ? That lower trigger guard and the front section of the upper pic rail could get chopped if you want to shed some weight.   If you ever get a pic of the barrel with out the shroud, I'd love to see it. Sometimes weight is a good thing but that form factor rifle just seems like it be a lightweight. I am sure with some polishing, you can get the trigger and spring sorted out.

 What is that offset mod on there ? Is that what it came with or is that something special ?

 I hope you are doing well and I am glad you finally got that thing. You are a patient man for sure !

Cheers,
Mitch

Balanced pretty good, Mod is a 1.5x5" offset designed for Huben GK1 .25 pistol. just put it on for pic lol. I dropped the reg to 80b backed out the hammer spring.  dropped the fps to 800+ not as crunchy sounding now when I cock it lol.

 I bet a Tanto on the end of that.  It seems to have good bones for a modern style PCP.
 I hope after it breaks in a bit it will be nice like the other SPA offerings.

Had a pin fall out after changing tanks. Has something to do with the trigger. Now it’s acting up not working right.

Ah, the infamous SPA disappearing trigger pin. I was using a cut off finishing nail in place of one of mine, but I lucked out and found it months later.

Tape works great to hold the trigger pin in my P35s.  I just put a little piece on the trigger block covering the pin.

I wonder if it uses the same 1:21 twist barrel that my Bullshark, Chaser and Stormrider has.

thats a really nice gun , any clue if its a balanced valve similar to the impact?

i heard that their regulator dont work properly and give different chrono results in every shot, had anyone tried to see if thats true?

Post by: Back_Roads on December 01, 2023, 09:10:46 AM
 I find some hammer spring adjustment levels out the shot string, there have been a few reports of faulty regs, I have not experienced that in the many Artemis guns I own.

The reg on mine used to creep up 10b over night. after bout a week of shooting it seems to have settled in. haven't run it over my chrony yet.

So far the mag that comes with it only shoots RWS wadcutter pellets worth a darn.  shotguns hades, domed or any others i had on hand. Broke down bought CARM 20 shot mag and single shot thingie.

I’m kinda interested in this gun, I realize it’s not a high end product but do you consider them worth the money? I’d have to drive 4 hours to put my hands on one and considering it’s Chinese I’d probably do it just to be on the safe side.

Well I bought it knowing i would be tinkering around with it. so it was a bargain as far as I was concerned. kinda depends what you plan on doing with it lol.

Hi all just some information on my .357 M60B
got out today and shot the Snowpeak M60B I set the reg at 175bar the hammer spring 1-1/2 turns in from flush with receiver and with 3600psi fill. 20 yards just one hole than at 60 yards shot 1-1/2 for 12 shots. It is getting 24 shots at around 75-77foot pounds before it goes off the regulator.i know I could probably run it up to 90-100 foot pounds And get one mag but it really shoots well and is quiet at this level. Here is the shot string look at the extreme spread it’s pretty good.

Shot count: 24
Low: 645
Hi: 656
Avg: 652
Spread: 11
STD Dev: 2.7

Hi all
I shot some FX Hybrid Slugs 68 Grain Hollowpoints  out of my M60 today. They where running 700fps. Same tune as before same small extreme spread and here is a group at 60 yards on a 6-1/2 in plate. For a somewhat budget price tag I think this is a keeper.
Sorry for the double pics
Title: Re: Artemis/Snowpeak M60B
Post by: JimD on January 21, 2024, 02:21:17 PM
Just looking at the specs the 30 caliber seems to be better aligned with the M60B than the 357.  Published information says the 30 can reach almost 90 ft lbs where the 357 is only a little over 100 ft lbs maximum.  Anybody try a 30?

I have 3 P35s so I think I like Snowpeak guns for the bang for the buck (sorry for the bad pun).  The M60B has several advantages over the P35 (but not length and weight).  Even with an added plenum my P35-25 won't quite reach 50 fpe.  The M60b seems to be significantly more powerful.  Anybody know it's plenum size?

Where can I get the Carm magazine in .35 9mm.  Just bought one of these on eBay without knowing anything about them and I’m freaking out a bit because I can’t find any part or pieces for it in this caliber. I thought I got a good deal but I’m starting to think I screwed myself. Help

Samuel,

You might try a guy that goes by Spike_9 over on AGN about magazines.  He offered to make me some for my 25 caliber P35 which Darco (Carm) still doesn't support in a standard size magazine.  Darco will respond to an email too but he seems to have enough business he isn't anxious to add something that may not sell well.
