To ACCURATLY...measure "every" pellet center would be cost "prohibitive"! There's two centers that shooting, "any type projectile" have. The projectile center and the barrel center. Add to that, is the projectiles center...ON CENTER ? That is, is that center, "centered", front to back ...

Double sided tape. Works excellent. Mike

Pretty simple actually, just "tune into"...You Tube ! Here's just two of many. I believe Brian and others have a bunch or videos on the care and feeding of the R5, R5M, Lelya, (the last two are mostly the same gun). Mike

While I mostly agree with the above.... As a fresh retiree (well before I got into air guns anyway), I decided to look into high powered air guns. I had no one to mentor me. BUT...I know enough to do...MY OWN...homework. And NOT...pass the things that "I"...should be learning on my own, on to...

Nice...BUT... The ones that SHOULD read the above...WON'T ! They are too busy typing..."what gun should I buy", in their own thread ! Mike

The barrel is the barrel. It does the actual controlling of the projectile. Neither the shroud nor the muffler (hopefully) have any say-so in where the pellet goes. Any other length is either shroud and or muffler (silencer, suppressor, damper, etc.) . Seems that the last few years, people...

What I don't understand... WHY don't people just start a search program...ON THEIR OWN ? It ISN"T difficult. Do some Google searching for the more popular on-line shops. We all know who they are, after a 2 hours search ! This way, they get a good "visual" of the gun types on the market...

Actually, the assembly (muffler) that Alfonso finally came up with works fairly well. After "many" experimental guts to the original "can", the report is fairly quiet. At least it doesn't bother my cats ! It's a 3D printed can, with silicone parts inside. Just looking at the interior parts...

Please explain "projectile" . Do you mean the "ACTUAL" projectile...as in pellets or slugs ? Or The "projectile", as it, the - pellet slinger, gun, arms, rifle, pistol, etc. ? Mike

Thanks. Mike

Thach - Is this the Taipan (one of two), that you have for sale ? Mike

With all the talk about "barrel bands" being a...good thing... Here you all are picking the gun...without...a barrel band ! I have no knowledge of any of the three, so I can't choose. Mike

While I understand what you are saying, I don't necessarily buy into the "first generation" thing, never have. My two (long and compact) Prophet MkI's are doing fine...still. One did have a leak, but that was at the back, fill probe fitting. Simple fix. And while I do buy into the "offshore"...

On one hand, I agree with Hobbyman. On the other hand, parts (as required) may be difficult to get for the R5M (NOT R3...too old), on the other hand, the Maverick is still around, and there's many locations to get custom parts. The Edgun is a much more "stout" (tougher) gun than the Maverick...

No sir...I didn't "that" (whatever THAT is) from...ANYONE ! Mike
