she's good lookin but don't let that fool ya, she's a P.O.S.
i doubt there is enough polish for this turd, but i'll take er out tomorrow an see if she can shoot.
the barrel is not secure at all so i don't see how the accuracy could be good.
i got 360 fps with PBAs less with BBs, the advertised is 430.
this thing cost me 107 bucks, the G1 is on sale there for the same price???

all hope is not lost.
after plowing an assload of rounds thru this thing i see that the ribs in the mags that hold the rounds are relaxin so the fps with PBAs is up to 383.6 and with Silver Eagles it's 446.4
now it needs to be dissasembled and shown a little love to remove the sloppy from er.
i would feel a hell of alot better if i spent 30 or 40 bucks for it.
i'm sure in a few months that's what you will be able to get them for.
i can't wait to get the C40, my buddy has one and his buddy screwed up the lever that holds the cartridge so i fixed it an got to shoot it an man that thing is nice.

i noticed that this thing has a four inch barrel, i was lookin on the crosman site and i see that the 357 comes with a rifled steel barrel that is 8 inches.
if i can buy one from them i will install it in the T4.
this should increase the accuracy as well as velocity.

Unfortunately,you can't get the eight inch barrel used for the 357 anymore. The six inch 357 though, is a great/ very mod-able CO2 gun for the money. They are less than 50 bucks at MidSouth. I've seen a mod where a section of a 1760 barrel, or a barrel from a 1377 was used on a 357, where a longer, better quality barrel was desired.

Craig, Just go to the green forum (Crosman site) and search "357 mods" and you will get lots of info. Also Nick Carter has a blog on it on his site, "Another Air Gun Blog". Look for the one written by a guy whose name is Derrick, who put a 1377 barrel in his 357. You should really try one of the 357's , they really are a great plinker for the money. Mine does around 420fps at 75 degrees , with the six inch barrel. One inch or less groups at 15 yards. Easily will take out starlings at that distance.
