Ed only made 20 long’s and 20 short or std, like I have for the US as far as I know. Mine is tuned at exactly 895 fps and hits hard with 44.75’s , I just don’t like long nose heavy barrels as these air guns are all heavy anyway. I need to update my gun list as the Cricket 177 compact left yesterday.
