I purchased this de-pinger for my .22 Benjamin Marauder rifle: https://hillairgun.com/product/hill-airgun-pcp-depingers/
I installed it yesterday following the installation instructions (maybe I made a mistake, I do have a question, see below please), filled the gun back up and did some shooting. I must say I am not impressed. To me, the gun sounds the same. I also noticed that the gun went from 3000 PSI to 2500 PSI after one magazine, where as before the de-pinger I'd be at around 2600 PSI after the first magazine before the de-pinger (I don't know the exact PSI but I know that by the end of the third magazine I was at 2000 PSI from 3000 PSI).
I removed the factory de-pinger, inserted the Hill de-pinger (large opening first) and pushed it in until it could not longer move. This is where I have a question: The instructions say "Push it until you feel it stop against the gauge port". Since I pushed it in until it could not longer to in any further, does that mean I reached the gauge port or should I have stopped pushing it in before that?
People seem very happy with the de-pinger so I am blaming my insatisfaction with it on me and possible mistakes I made during the installation. Any advice? Thank you!
