Yes, shipping was free. I placed the order earlier today and have already received a shipping confirmation with tracking number. Will check back in when I get an expected delivery date.

Just an FYI, I did send Pinty Support an email question yesterday, and while they did not properly answer the question, they did get back to me via email within 12 hours. I suspect they have a lot to learn about airguns...

I get mine Monday. I'll post when it comes in. I was told February ship date when I did my pre-order so I'm super stoked it's a week ahead of schedule. Flawless purchase and shipping so far. As long as it's even halfway decent it's a win at that cost.

The Bullpup seems to closely resemble the Snowpeak P35 (maybe minus the regulator?) I owned a P15 (non regulated) in the past and never should have sold that one. After signing up, I have one in my cart for $238.00 . Seems like a great "pre-tariff" price...

They are rebadged Snowpeaks
P15
M18
M16 Tube

Turns out they are rebadged Snowpeak
P15 bullpup
M18 single shot
M25 rifle

I don't think I have ever noticed the M18 before now.

They may share some parts, but there are a lot of structural differences between a Snowpeak P15 and a Pinty bullpup. The side lever is different and in a different location, so the frame and receiver are different. Also the shroud, stock, and rails are different than a P15. The barrel, air tube, hammer, valve and trigger may be the same.

Just ordered the .22 bullpup. Free shipping. Make an account and use promo code WINHUNT and total with Texas tax included came out to $254.07 for me.

Have you gotten a shipping notification yet, Jared?

smythsg · « **Reply #24 on:** February 01, 2025, 10:05:28 AM »

I agree Jared, I still think it resembles the P35 more than the P15. The long rifle version does indeed look like the M16 that I owned for several years.

Xraycer · « **Reply #25 on:** February 01, 2025, 11:22:32 AM »

Has anyone inquired about parts availability?

I got a shipping email, but so far just a UPS label has been printed and no ETA on it.

It does more closely resemble the P35, though the side lever is an inch or so further forward than the P35, and the P35 receiver has that same weird notch in it that the P15 has and it is slanted at the top front of the receiver. The specs on the P35 do match the specs listed on the Pinty website as well. I am looking forward to getting 80 shots out of a rifle. Closest thing I have to that now is my Umarex Origin and that shoots only a fraction of that. If it is a modified P35 it might have what the P35 website calls a "consistent valve" - perhaps a regulator? The P35 is supposed to be highly accurate too. An accurate, maybe regulated, 900 fps 80 shot .22 bullpup for $250 shipped? I will be thoroughly impressed if it all adds up when I have it in my hands. I also picked up a Pinty 3-9x40 scope from their eBay store.

Yesterday I sent an email to Pinty:

Hi,

I recently ordered one of your .22 bullpup PCP rifles. While I am
waiting for it to arrive I had a question regarding it. Would this be a
rebadged/modified SMK/SnowPeak/Artemis P35? I was wanting to get some
accessories for it and spare parts so I thought I would ask.

The reply I just got:

Thank you for reaching out and we are honored to be of assistance.

We have forwarded your request to our tech team for the best possible answer and will reply to you within 24-48 hours.

Your understanding and patience are much appreciated.

The bullpup has shipped UPS and will be here Thursday

smythsg · « **Reply #34 on:** February 03, 2025, 09:21:53 AM »

Mine has shipped and will be delivered on Friday. Looks like the unboxing videos will all be done before I receive mine.

bduares · « **Reply #35 on:** February 03, 2025, 01:10:39 PM »

You can make a video, I will watch it. I am not usually one to make videos unless there is a problem I am trying to solve

smythsg · « **Reply #36 on:** February 03, 2025, 07:19:03 PM »

No... I'm not a video guy either. Still pictures for me unless something special.

Xraycer · « **Reply #37 on:** February 03, 2025, 07:51:19 PM »

No need for videos. Just post up your results and thoughts.

Back_Roads · « **Reply #38 on:** February 03, 2025, 09:50:26 PM »

Up to me to do the video LOL
