    Snowpeak Max 1 -- I'm drooling

    Not sure there is any gun made in China I would drool over. I guess it could happen, probably not. Why does it not do what it is supposed to do out of the box?

    FX New First...Not a Good Thing, Stuck Slugs in Barrel!

    Does not that bulge the barrel, it being a thin sleeve with little support?

    Made in Spain--Crosman 14.3s

    I did with my 3622 and both Urbans. I had sighted the rifles at 20 yards zero with the old CPHP. I found that the made in Spain CPHP landed to the left and slightly up about .5 inch and grouped well. The 3622 the impacts shifted about 3/4 inch to the left. Returning to the old CPHP the three...

    The Walmarts in my local do have the CPHP made in Spain for $6.97.

    Best of Non-Lead Pellets?

    Predator GTOs have been best for me. I like them. They are not as accurate as JSB in my .25 caliber M-Rods nor in my .22 Crosman 3622 or Gamo Urban. But they group good enough for thirty yards. It does not take much for the M-Rod to send them supersonic which makes a fun crack, especially on...

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    I bought two tins of the new made in Spain CPHP at Walmart for $6.97 each last Monday. I tried them out in my Crosman 3622 and my two Gamo Urban rifles. I had the rifles sighted at 20 yards with the old CPHP for zero. I did a few magazines each with the old CPHP to verify zero and groups. I then...

    The Gen 1 rifles never had a synthetic stock available. The .25 caliber rifles had a barrel made by Green Mountain (which continued into Gen 2 production but now are Crosman made). I own four .25 caliber rifles including one Gen 1 with the GM barrel and I have a spare GM barrel. My testing...

    Benjamin Did i miss the bubble? Marauder bottle guns

    The plain synthetic stock of the Syn-Rod coupled with the JSAR aluminum tube and a short shroud to reduce the length and improve forward balance and maneuverability makes for an awesome hunting weapon. This rifle has the JSAR tube, Huma reg, Cobra type valve, AGR lightweight hammer SSG...

    Benjamin Did i miss the bubble? Marauder bottle guns

    Two of the rifles in the picture I posted have the JSAR aluminum tube (two lower) and two (the upper two) have a AGR hybrid tube. The black side lever is mostly JSAR parts. AGR makes a hybrid tube that retains the steel aft section but has an aluminum forward section. The JSAR is factory...

    Benjamin Did i miss the bubble? Marauder bottle guns

    I found the B-Staley mod to not meet my needs. It sort of works but the O-ring stack can fall over and it was not consistent and did not meet my power needs. I use FFH and SSG now.

    Benjamin Did i miss the bubble? Marauder bottle guns

    Some folks, instead of a drop block, have added a bottle or second reservoir by using a connection to the gauge block gauge hole. You will note there is an attitude that anything Marauder is old fashioned and out of style. I do not share this thinking but yes, you missed the heydays of M-Rod...

    Benjamin Benjamin Marauder leaks how often? And should I continue?

    The Marauder is probably one of the simplest and least leak prone PCPs. The rifle needs to be resealed. And it would be prudent to determine first where it is leaking from. Tightening the hammer spring adjustment or TP restriction has nothing to do with a leak or no leak.

    Benjamin Marauder bolt drag

    Good, I was worried I owed you gas money :). Grade 5 or 8 will not be terrible to cut. I usually zip bolts off with a pneumatic cutoff wheel and then dress on a belt sander. You can spray paint it black. I like to dress the bolt markings from the head. A lath can dress of the hex shape if...

    Benjamin Marauder bolt drag

    Sorry about that, I was going off my memory. I went and looked and it is 3/8X24. You should be able to purchase at a hardware store. I bought them a little longer than the AGR part so I could cut the length to work best with my rifle and hands. Here they are in comparison, I have not cut (or...

    Benjamin Marauder bolt drag

    It is 5/8-18 thread. The additional length is what makes the hand squeeze work. Maybe somebody with small hands might be okay resting on the end cap though possibly uncomfortable.

    Benjamin Marauder bolt drag

    What I have found is that using a thumb rest, either the one from AGR or go to a hardware store and buy a bolt and paint it black, makes cocking very easy and as easy as a side lever on my SL M-Rod. These two M-Rod .25 rifles have the AGR thumb rest. It is a machine piece and does take blue. I...

    Benjamin Marauder tank modification

    Kind of like the arms race. M-Rod folks just have a M-Rod or a few. Not like we bought a FX1, then a FX2, then a FX3 then a FX4 and then a FX5 and then a upcoming FX6 where the number of FX guns to be owned is equal to N+1. Of course it has been pointed out that modding the old M-Rod is a waste...

    Benjamin Muting the Marauder (How to make the quietest Marauder possible)

    I use the one inch brush from this kit or similar from Ace. I cut the handle end off to shorten it and then bend it over to make a hook or loop so that I can grab it and pull it out for maintenance.
