Ive totally renovated a couple of '35s. One I built from my parts bin and the other was so knackered I felt sorry for it. The second one turned out to be a beaut - 11.7ft.bs in .22 with NO pre-load on the mainspring.

The parts are readily available both new and second hand and plentiful. Once you have a matching cylinder and end plug all the other bits are interchangeable. Its very easy to strip so you can do it dozens of times to get that perfect piston/spring combination. Ideal for someone who wants to try their hand at renovating and you end up with a classic beaut that can still hold its own against modern springers. Re blueing was done by Collin Malloy.
