The gauge is reading the regulated pressure after installing the regulator. If you want to see the fill pressure you need a second gauge. The easiest and cleanest option is to install the HUMA quickfill assembly for the Marauder Benjamin Marauder Quickfill Set With Pressure Gauge By Huma-Air...
Did you cock the rifle? A lot of times when filling from empty you need to cock the rifle because the hammer spring is too heavy and pressing the hammer against the valve stem and keeping it open.
I’ve been super busy to do much shooting these last several weeks. But today I took some time to get the Shwaty B out. I really like this little carbine a lot.
I had a single aluminum can that was just begging to be shot before getting tossed in the recycling bin. So I filled it with water and...
Ham did a review on these pellets back in January Benjamin Match Grade .22 Caliber 14.3 Grain Pellets Test Review - Hard Air Magazine
They may look same but they’re supposed to be better and have more consistency in head size, weight, they’re supposed to be cleaner and have less flash and a...
I would agree that the JSB 25.39 would be a very good starting point for any .25 Mrod. It’s the only pellet I feed my .25 Mrod and .25 Akela. Both of those rifles shoot them very well. So well I didn’t bother testing anything else.
You might also try the JTS pellets also. They have a 25.39...
Real nice! Rich does an excellent job with the Marauders. Love the .20 caliber. I’m sure you’re going to love your .20 cal Marauder.
If you didn’t get it, get Rich’s Thumb Rest bolt for the Marauder. I’ve been a vocal critic of Crosman for not designing a side lever breech for the Marauder after...
In my mind a “pistol” refers to a semi auto firearm that can be held and shot with one hand.
A “handgun” on the other hand is a type of gun that is held in one or two hands that is not shot from the shoulder. This would encompass derringers as well as pistols, and also include single shot...
All of my PCPs have tubes. I have never owned a bottle gun. I do prefer the tube guns but I’m not necessarily apposed to owning a bottle gun. Some are rather nice looking but others are absolutely hideous looking.
The way I understood the hammer throw (travel) adjustment is that when you change the hammer throw (travel) it makes more subtle changes to the hammers energy and how hard it hits the valve stem. I think you can somewhat liken the hammer throw adjustment to the micro wheel adjustment on an FX...
Actually I got my Notos back in May when they were on sale for 20% off 😉
Yes I know. It’s an undisputed fact that a Rink stock is a pricey upgrade for such an inexpensive gun and not something I’m suggesting everyone do. Many are probably questioning my sanity. I debated it for several months...
The Notos is just an awesome lightweight compact carbine. It’s one of my favorites now that it has a proper walnut stock.
I always at least try CPHPs from Walmart in my guns. It a good day when you find out you can feed a gun cheap ammo. My Notos, like many others, seems to like them just fine.
I really like compact carbine rifles. Even more so when I can have a wood stock on them, which sadly isn’t an option for most of the compact carbines out there. Everyone wants the tactical look it seems. Which is why I really like my little Prod carbines. You have options for wood stocks. I have...
That’s right, I said Paradigm Mini.
Alright, alright, so this isn’t real. Which is probably evident by my amateur photo cropping. But it ought to be real. IMHO of course.
All the higher end subcompact carbines are all black tackycool style rifles and while they may work just fine, they’re...
