According to Parcel Force my latest 35 is sitting at their Mitcham Depot for delivery today can't wait. (given my luck its still bound to go missing)

Anyway 77's giving 18ftlbs with a smaller swept volume than the 35.

I know they have a smaller diameter cylinder, 25mm? but when I stripped one years ago the bloody spring was about a mile long, could its secret be in the spring pre load. Beeman also claims that along with the 80 the 77 was his creation but mentions disapointment that it never caught on in the States like the R1/80. As an interesting fact the R1 was developed first, HW agreed to market their own version the 80. However Beeman had decided on a longer more rounded stock for the R1. This held up production because the blanks necessary were not immediately available. This allowed HW to have the 80 on the market before Beeman had the R1 out.
