Marauder aluminum air tubes

[rdpjr6504]

Hello. Just checking to see if anyone knows where to buy an aluminum airtube for the Benjamin Marauder or know a machinist to make 3 tubes for me. I will send the tube to them. Any info is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

JSAR was making them... I don’t think they have time anymore for it. Otherwise I’ve heard of no one making them.

Looks like the days of getting these has come and gone. Airgun Pro Shop would be where they would be listed. They don't even list a Marauder section anymore. Glad I picked up a couple for my two. They really do make the Marauder shine.

How much weight does the aluminum tube save? My Marauder with a scope weighs in at 9.5 lbs and that is with the synthetic stock. Where it seems like I could save a half pound is with a lighter scope.

It will knock off a pound and a half.

its not only the pound .5 its where the weight is not ! its all that leverage way out in front of you that makes the biggest difference.

I wished I would have picked up a couple when they were making them.

Per the guy's who engineered the Benjamin Semi-auto Marauder, it has an aluminum tube and 60% of the parts are the same and interchangable. A look at the parts diagram and numbers could verify this, though this may be one of the 40% new parts because my air tube is steel and original in style and machined holes.

Maybe call the engineering team at Benjamin/Crosman on Monday to see what they say about availability.
