Does anyone know if there is still a double tube kit offered for this? Are there any drawbacks to having the double tube setup+
P-Rod double tube

I would suggest you get a gun built with a larger tank rather than futz with red-neck engineer solutions.
The P-rod is a good little gun, but the state of the art has improved drastically in 10 years. You can put all the bling you want on a P-rod, and then you still have a P-rod and a lot less money.

Oddly enough my wife calls me a redneck and I am an engineer, so I'm in the right wheelhouse.
I understand where you're coming from, though. I'm only wanting to tinker with it a bit, I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel. The prod is a great little gun as it is, just want to add a little more capacity.

Norm at Discos-r-Us is the guy who made them I think.
Darren, in Stockton had one and he enjoyed it.
You might try and find Norm...

This is about all I come up with on the prod double tube.

I have one and it makes the P-Rod muzzle heavy and throws the balance off if you intend on using it solely as a pistol.
You can get a Ninja bottle to carry with you to simply refill the gun for cheaper.

I'd very much like to see some pictures of your double tube P-Rod please, Odoyle.
The idea, no mater how impractical, is of interest to me.
Thanks

Wasn’t someone doing a drop down bottle kit for the P-rod? Should be easy to find one or have one made. That may be a cleaner set up for you than the double tube. Just a thought.
Also I’m a huge encourager of “redneck engineering” .... also known as: customizing your own airguns. Creativity is awesome. Full steam ahead on it bro.

It's at the other house so I can take some pics probably after the weekend however it has a custom modded forearm to make it look as though it was a factory double tube gun and RAI AR stock with Side folding option.
I bought it from Airngasman several years ago and I know he keeps pictures of his guns past and present. In fact it may possibly be pictured in his awesome airgun book.

A dual tube PROD looks neater than a bottle one.
Don Cothran can make a longer tube for it and I have seen him make a dual tube for a Beeman (?) PCP.
Fantastic quality as usual but the owner said it was heavy.
Yes, stainless has always been heavy, lol!

I'm not saying you should or not, but at least this is an option, and probalby easier to acquire than a double tube P-Rod.
Go to You Tube and search Marauder Pistol bottle conversion. I pasted the link, but it's restricted, won't work here.
If you'll look very closely at a lot of these high $ bottle guns, if you get right down to it, all they really are is - a breech, barrel, short tube, call it a plenum if it makes you feel better, valve, adaptor block, bottle, and maybe a reg. and/or a magazine,
I've got my flame suit for this next pic
Interesting that some folks bring their "class" attitudes even to an airgun forum.
EDIT: removed you tube link, added barrel lol -

Nothing about any of these are redneck.
I personally like the look of the double tube, just my preference. I'll always keep my prod as a carbine, no worry about being a front heavy pistol.
