I'm winding myself up to go out this afternoon and get one of these- what's best for use here in the UK, 177 or 22? I'm hankering after 177 as I've got a modded 2240 in 22. Any difference in accuracy/consistency between the two calibres?

Hi mate, I'v very impressed with the quality and accuracy of mine, they are both .22 and bought the last of his stock..
I did mention i may want a .177 model and they said no problem. i have not heard of any accuracy issues with the .177 so i say go for it. if you buy one at the right price you are more then likely going too get your money back...
give it 12 months and there will be a huge market for options on these like the crossman pistols

I spent a little while fettling the trigger as shown in other threads- quite straightforward and effective.
Next I chrono'd it. Oh dear!
It was either very ott or ok- but very inconsistent. I started off by reducing the preload on the hammer spring. This didn't help too much, reduced the power but the inconsistency was terrible, 5.4 to 6.9 ft.lbs from one pellet to the next and so on!
Anyway- long story short, I gave the pistol a long coat of looking at The rotating breech block has an allen headed grub screw in the top, turns out this is an adjuster for the transfer port (a throttle if you will) Out of the box this is set flush with the top of the breech, looks neat but is totally non functional. If you swing out the breech block and start screwing in the adjuster it will take at least 4 turns until you can see it in the transfer port. At this point it starts to work.
After checking and adjusting I can now set the power wherever I want (legal of course!) but what is better it is now amazingly consistent, 3-4 fps between shots. I'm no expert, but does the regulator need a bit of back pressure to work properly?
Hope this helps anyone having the same problems!

thanks for the tip mine was same , if i screw the hamer screw flush, so it produces 12 ftlbs can i reduce the power to 6 ftlbs by just screwing in the breech block screw.
