    Benjamin My other first PCP - Donated Gen 1 Maruader .25

    Everyone says that but I have not found that to be true. I cannot show any difference.

    Benjamin My other first PCP - Donated Gen 1 Maruader .25

    One of my four M-Rod .25s is a Gen 1 like that. I modded with a bottle brush depinger, an AGR split hybrid reservoir tube to reduce weight and improve balance, AGR SSG, AGR cocking assist thumb rest, .161 TP and barrel ports: I regularly use and hunt with firearms that were designed well over...

    N/A How to determine FPS

    The speed for a given pellet and rifle/barrel that accomplishes the tightest group if accuracy is all that matters. Alternatively the fps that produces the best compromise of group size and shot count or yet another alternative, if a hunter, is the fps that produces the best compromise of power...

    I think it means: HT - 5 turns clockwise inward from minimum tension HS - 5 turns clockwise from striker fully retracted flush to hammer TS - 5 turns CCW from fully closed

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    Oh baloney :rolleyes:. OP, if the author of post #21 would provide his exact formula plus a parts list and none of it requiring a mill and lath that would be wonderful. In lieu of that, the AGR SSG actually works quite nicely, it is a simple thing, easy to install with a cook book instruction...

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    Why does it matter who did what first if they do not share how it is done in detail nor market it? Boeing or Airbus did not invent the airplane. The Wright Bros. never built an airliner. Grand Cayon Airlines was possibly the first airline, cannot I take a ride on American to Cozumel tomorrow in...

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    Thanks, I forget about the VMS. That is because of my four Marauder .25s only one has a VMC and that rifle is run with the VMC full out and .161 porting throughout for 24 shots at 44/46 fpe or 32 shots at 38/40 fpe, no regulator. The fpe is reduced by .5 turn out from the AGR recommended setting...

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    Not having a .22 I cannot say how low it can be adjusted but I have ran it down on my .25 to about 30 fpe. The standard adjusgment is to install the kit and then run the adjustment screw in unti air leaks from the valve and then back of 1/8 turn to provide free flght. If you back off further the...

    Umarex Talk me out of a Umarex Gauntlet 2 sl30

    Cons: I never had a .30 or side lever. But it took three .25s to get one that mostly did not leak. The quality was poor. All three rifles had "repairs" to the finish with Magic Markers. The bolt came loose on all three, it took a winch to cock the thing. The rifle is way too big, way too heavy...

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    Air Gun Revisions makes (or made) two different hammers. One is Nylon/Delrin and the other is a OE Marauder hammer converted and thus being steel is heavier of the two. Each came with an extra power spring and a standard spring. A depinger is not needed with a regulator. It serves no purpose...

    Benjamin SSG for .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle

    I have built several SSGs and of several designs. The two available from AGR, the standard and the lightweight, work as well as anything I built and are actually cheaper if you factor my time and gasoline running all over and shipping from Amazon what I could not find locally. I do like the...

    N/A Moisture in PCP airguns

    Both outside and between. Let me be clear, the corrosion that ended the life of the tube was just forward of and coincident with the O-ring on the HP side of the gage block. The corrosion finally undermined the sealing surface to the tube and it began to leak. I had some success with a hone to...

    N/A Moisture in PCP airguns

    Yes, but the shop I most recently moonlighted at could and would as long as the cylinder is in hydro or certification life, has a current annual VIP and is a DOT cylinder. The problem(s) gets into the VIP and inspection standards applied to scba and PCP tanks for what is an industry practice for...

    N/A Moisture in PCP airguns

    I bought a used but beautiful on the outside M-Rod Gen .25 and after a few months it began leaking. I found severe corrosion in the area of the gauge block. I was able to source a new tube and had AGR cut it for a hybrid aluminum and steel so it all turned out well at a few extra $. But, yes...

    As a dealer I want tell you the biggest hurdle people have with PCP's

    There are a myriad of rimfire rounds available from CB caps (around 8 fpe) to heavy hitters like Velociter (170 fpe) and in between and there is CCI Quiet and Semi-Auto Quiet that is low energy and very low noise. There is a rimfire round for everything any .22, .25 or even .30 air gun can do...

    As a dealer I want tell you the biggest hurdle people have with PCP's

    Farm and ranch country implies acerages and hunting/pesting vs paper shooting. And apparently many people failed elementary school science if they do not understand the difference between 250 psi and 3000 psi. Air compressors and tanks are just going to be a hard sell to most ranchers and...

    Digger Down

    I never put to much stock in legend but sometimes there is some grain of truth. I have killed a bunch of the things, never been sprayed and only had them spray a few times. Once they start undermining foundations or spraying my neighbors dogs and kids they have to go. Skunks, foxes and raccoons...

    N/A Moisture in PCP airguns

    No, ;), I am in the Red Sea there. In the water anything at a distance turns bluish green on a camera sensor. Water absorbs reds in the first ten to twenty feet and even powerful strobes like on my camera system are only good for about 6 feet maximum (12 feet to and from:) ). The brain is much...
