Shin Sung Career .50 Dragon carbine

Picked up this SHIN SUNG CAREER .50 DRAGON with an owners manual that says 2007. Can not find info or image of this rifle as manual says large loading breech but mine only loads from left side. Found images of the .50 DRAGON but it has an open breech to load from both sides. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you

Maybe someone modified it...

I do not think it has been modified. I found an old PYRAMYD AIR review where someone was shooting this exact rifle with left side loading only thru 2 litre soda bottles. Still trying to get info from Pyramyd Air if they have any.

That model is circa 2008. They made 2 versions of that gun. Pre 2008 it was a bolt action. 2008 and up was side lever.
3200 psi fill 
Overall length is 41.3" (1050 mm), barrel length is 20.6"  (523 mm).
Weight 8.8 LBS (3991 gram).
Muzzle energy is 192 fpe with a 225 grain slug.
Known issues:
The air tube is bolted to the main tube with three allen bolts. When these bolts aren't of the exactly correct length the bottom of the blind holes gets damaged and the gun starts leaking. This problem is very hard to solve.
The gun is very hard to tune.
The valve system can't give more power without a complete valve housing replacement with 3rd party parts.
