You will only have so much more room before the spring binds, so you could also try a small packing washer. I have a 2 mm one in mine and I that let's me get the good power out of it.

Yes it has enough power for that. After the mods, I was getting 18 - 19 ft'lb which is ample.

I am impressed by this 362, it feels like a pcp when shooting it.

They make a hell of a racket pumping mind. I think that plastic hitting is louder than the rifle.
Went to put velcro on it like 1322 but it didn't close right

Yea, they have a magnet to keep it closed, which is good, but makes a noise.

Or do you mean all the heavy breathing and complaining from you pumping it? LOL

I think 4 pumps is around 9 footpound isnt it? that should be reasonably easy pumping and enough for close-ish range rabbits with good shot placement.
