After a bit more trigger-time I'll post something. Probably sort of a mini review.

As requested, promised, and copied from a post in another thread about the Gem-

My Gem prefers Umarex silver BBs over Crosmans; no surprise since the Umarex fit a bit snugger in the breech and don't vary in that regard like the Crosmans. My benchrest accuracy testing at the extreme range of FIVE yards produced 4-5" c-t-c average five-shot groups. Had to adjust the rear sight almost all the way right in its adjustment to sight her in. Now shoots to point of aim at 2-4 steps, low beyond that.

Did a shot-count over the Chrony of a full 8 gram charge at 90 degrees today with the 5.35 grain Umarex BBs. Seventy shots, Low= 283 FPS, High= 313, ES= 30, SD= 5, Average=304 FPS/1.1 FPE. Could have gotten another 5-10 shots at declining velocity, but why?

Always a good time shooting some FT !!!

Greetings. How can I add a pressure gage on my regulated Marauder that shows the regulated pressure?

In this, your original post, you asked for a gauge that shows regulated pressure. All of the answers so far (except maybe Worried Man's) speak to reading the unregulated pressure.

Is that really what you want - the regulated pressure? If so, you need to have a pressure gauge on the plenum, which is easy to to do if you do not have one now, but would take a different plenum (or possibly a completely different regulator, depending on the brand and what they offer).

Let us know . . .

I can't find my notes so going by my fading memory I'd say .029 .

That's what I was guessing.

the spring in the sight is larger and has way more power than a pen spring
i took mine loose the other day but could not unhook the front of the sight
the spring set far to the front but i wonder if the bearing ball has been lost
it is maybe 1mm and with that gone the screw will not index on the ball and could just spin
grease the ball to hold it place
bearing balls can be found on Ebay cheap

I collect Marksman products. Many of us started out with a MRP.

It works now.

Dang . Lol. Thanks. Yeah all good and working. Ouch on the shipping for my location ….pass for now. Thanks for the sale though.

don't know if I placed this post in the correct place as I normally don't start them..if it is in the wrong place moderator please move it to wherever it should be!
so I got a Seneca eagle claw 22 long version caliber referbished and I bought the moderator adapter in case I needed to put my Donny FL shogun on it.. it's almost plenty quiet as is but I noticed that it was missing the baffles when I installed the adapter..
so I called pyramid air and they didn't know how many it takes so got back to me later and said 3.. they fit snuggly but I actually saw the end of the barrel and the spacer for it, so I know that it didn't have one in it.. there's also numbers on the baffle package that seems to indicate that it takes 3.. however it will only take two.. third one would stick out and you couldn't put the muzzle cap on..
so my question is.. should I just put in the two? or should I put each baffle in the lathe and shorten it so all 3 fit? will 3 shorter ones work better than two factory ones?. I'm inclined to leave them factory, just because things are normally best left factory, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas..
and this post is meant just for the Seneca eagle claw, not trying to do anything else
I will have to say that out of every airgun I have shot it's my absolute favorite.. however it's the first pellet picky gun I have had..it will shoot anything as long as you set the power wheel correctly for the weight of the ammo.. unlike my Condor SS will eat anything at any setting even supersonic and still print dime size groups at 50 and 30 yards dead on.

Pretty fast to swap so that should work great. Congrats

I got mine from Wes, he has them on the US side of operations and will send it to you.

I figured since OP mentioned him and still didn't have an answer he could call SPA and just get confirmation or a pitch gauge for "yes its 16-1.5 pitch"

Pretty gun. It looks much like a miniaturized version of a Martini-Henry which was a British service rifle starting about 1871, There are still a fairly large number of those floating around. This looks like a sporterized model, picture I found on the internet.

Beautiful rifle….Ive had both the Martini-Henry and the cadets….the old 455 paper patch ammo was getting scarce, and the movie “Zulu” had faded a little bit in my mind. However, the cadets always fascinated me…all in cool calibers..so nice and light and slim. All have found new loving homes…only the Borchardts are left…Thanks for sharing and the memories. John

So I took the rifle apart, honestly, nicer and easier than expected.

Set the reg to 1600, took it out and wallah! Got a worse chrono reading.



I said , this thing doesn't have enough ass on the hammer spring, so I pulled my jts out and pulled the stock hammer spring out of the bag of parts (still waiting on a barrel and I have a heavier spring for it anyways) , here's the difference in weight on the springs, the jts is quite a bit heavier. Same length too which is nice...



Loaded 5 rounds in a mag, aimed at a tree out my backdoor and boom, we there.

Time to test and fine tune this weekend.

Mr. Squirrel got taken to pound town. Nice shooting and great footage.

I bought a BSA R10 from AOA to nearly complete BSA collection. All I have is BSA and way too many FXs. There’s a lot of great guns out there, but BSA will always be a classic heritage gun for me. Now if I could only find another Union Jack,,,

Thanks for the replys everyone. I think I will reach out to Airgun Revisions. I can't seem to be able to find any info online about the thread size. Apparantly, at some point the thread size changed on the Caydens.

I like the way you think. Gettin old for me is an exercise in adapt and overcome…

i just shoot ground squirrels on our patch of ground so dont really want to get in to buddy bottles, whips , gauges n all that. If this 700 bottle will getmme back up to five or six mags ill be a happy camper. I willpit the 580 on the dreamline. Thanks again

The intersection of this and bonehead mistakes thread below. Today: "I wonder when the airgun show is this year?" *sees this thread* "Well heck."

Looks like it didn't work out all that well for the OP's needs since he is now selling it.

Not the case at all, unexpected life expenses bring upon the sale.

But thanks for the assumption

It's not HUMA air, it is the current administration putting extra taxes on US citizens. There is a good post from Pyramyd air explaining how the tariffs are a tax on the consumer.

I look at it as behavioral training, both consumer and manufacturer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get some cool usa built guns out of it.
