A friend of mine is a huge air rifle fan and donated his old gen 1 maruader to me to get started in the proper air rifle game! I am stoked as I've wanted one of these for a long time.(proper pellet launcher). The rifle is in wonderful shape. Lived in a gun safe and there are 0 signs of abuse or rust. He used a Hill pump with the moisture adapter on it when he first got it and then air tanks later on.

I've done some research on this .25 and found out that I can get an adapter to increase my shot count and change that pinging sound. It's a been a big rabbit hole to go down and seems if I want to add that component, I might want to have a chronograph to tune. And I don't have one of those.

I've seen the device called, SSG, HDD, TSS....it's been sort of like a science to me but I am trying. Figured I'd ask here to see if ya'll can give me some help on things I can do to help increase shot count as I am using a pump. Which one should I buy and should I even buy it if I don't have ability to tune it.

He is providing a new scope and I am excited that I'll have this and a JTS Airacuda .22 for plinking, small game hunting, and some bird shooting. Going to put the Airgun Capital moderator on this one too to help silence it a bit. I took one shot the other day and all the animals on my property went running. I know it's not that loud but a bit more quiet at the exit would be nice for my location and game I seek

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 100 years ago or even are over 100 years old, how can you call a M-Rod old? The new is not even worn off mine. Deer do not know this rifle model was originally designed in 1892 by JMB:



Nor do squirrels know this made in 1954 bought by gf for me the day I was born care it is 70 years old and designed in 1891 and used by Annie Oakley:



Old :rolleyes:? How can a rifle designed and marketed and sold still currently in the 21st Century ever be considered old?

Did a bit of reading, seems I have to put the bottle brush into the airtube about half way down cut down to about an inch in size? Which I think is done by de-gassing and taking the foster fitting off and putting it down in there. What size bottle brush?

Googled 'AGR SSG', nothing came up.

Don't know what those other things are that you mentioned but seem cool when I get more into PCP stuff.

Nice rifles!

Okay, i'll correct my statement..."Older* Marauder". I use my Remington Model 11 sometimes to shoot the air when I am bored...and yeah, that's old too...so is my Nintendo.

AGR is an abbreviation for my business name.
