Artemis/Snowpeak M60B

[Back_Roads]

 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.

Pix of my little Snowflake lol!

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?

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.

Got my new 300cc bottle installed. a little bit less weight lol!

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

A pic of your setup would be nice. how big of a projectile going down range?  numbers look great.

That was with 81.02gr JSB Pellets

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

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.

Boy, you guys sure can get a man going. Now I want one. Big step up for me. My last gun was Notos Plus my  two DAR guns. Looks like I will be calling Wes Bob soon.

[mandn]

Well, I jumped in today. I made the call to Wes. Mine will be here soon. Thanks you guys.
