I have taken ownership of @kruzaroads 362 this week which @pauly5 has had a bit of input into. Pauly that suppressor is a thing of beauty, you should make and sell more of them. You are like the DonnyFL of NZ.

Put on an Ali express discovery scope which has the pellet holder on the side turret and sighted in at 15m and I have fallen in love with this beauty already.

Yep my arm is starting to feel it from pumping... Hahaa

First two kills this afternoon 15m starling and 30m magpie.

Good to see it getting used to good effect so soon.
Be interested on your review of it at some stage as a hunter.

I just looked at Ted's Holdover channel on YouTube and he has recently reviewed the Benjamin 397 and the Seneca Dragonfly multipumps looks like he has a 362 there but didn't include it

Yestersday I recieved my apdative rail from ebay and I fitted it last night.
Looks mean but Im not sure there will be enough space to load the .22 pellet. I have fitted a red dot scope.
I may have to cut or adapt the rail or grind down the metal grub screw so I can move the whole rail forward opening up the breech chamber. I have fitted the steel breech by the way.

Ideas ?

As long as there is lead in the air...there is hope.

Kruza made me get my a into gear yesterday after I missed a rabbit on Saturday and plover yesterday morning. Still doing 8 pumps and using fft pellets but I was holding over too much and therefore missing. Here is the reticle for distances at 3X and knocked this pigeon over at 35 this afternoon, missed another at 55 as I didn't account for wind but the poi was perfect (does this make sense?)

yep totally.
 Right height and distance  but bit to far left or right. 
 Pretty good refrance points at that setting. 
 Nice shooting. I'm stoked your getting good use out of the 362.
 Too nice a tasting bird to be feeding it to the cats! 
 Still one less cat is a bloody good 2nd choice. 
 Putting a .25 barrel, as you were contemplating is good idea too. 
 Figures looked OK in chair gun. 
 It definitely went to the right home 👍

Thanks mate.

Yet right height for the 55, just 3" to the right with the wind. Absolutely enjoying how quiet it is.

Found this place in the US doing big bore upgrades for Crosman 2240 platforms as wondering about converting the 362 to .25cal....,

the 1322 and 22xx they must be off thier rockers. Pellet would just drop out the end. However your 362 (espially with that worked valve) did give all right fpe and acceptable drop graph with the lighter lead 25cal pellets. Pretty dam good results with the alloy 25cal.
 But the pumping ahhhhh naf thatTongue
 Still be a fun project and would be an easy conversion and quick to go back to 22 if ya wanted.
