    Benjamin Did i miss the bubble? Marauder bottle guns

    Welcome! You might try looking for a drop block on eBay. One thing to keep in mind- if you carry and walk a lot a bottle gun is difficult to use with a sling. It's possible to tune your Marauder for a higher shot count, lots of ways to do that. Marauders are simple in design and easy to work on...

    Ranged pest control

    I've been in a similar situation-How much time do you want to spend? A box trap like the Squirrelinator works while you're doing other things. Set one or more near the burrows and bait with something they like. You may have to leave the doors wired open at first to get them used to going in. The...

    Really nice “thwack” on a Dove last night

    Nice shot! Good on you for owning up. An identifier besides the spots (Mourning) and collar (Collared)-the Collared Dove's tail is square, the Mourning Dove's is pointed. Also the Collared dove is usually lighter in color than the Mourning dove.

    Daisy Model 26

    A model 26 was my first BB gun. My best friend gave it to me after he got a new Crosman M1 carbine. The model 25 had been in a bike crash and the barrel had been bent and straightened, the forearm wouldn't latch and had to be held in to fire. I got to where I could pretty much hit my target...

    Benjamin Benjamin MROD quit firing

    Here's a good video on disassembly and some info on tuning. Marauders are simple guns and easy to work on if you have basic mechanical skills. The nylon hammer is an aftermarket item to help increase shot count. There are a lot of mods available, but do your research before you dive in.

    Gamo Gamo Viper express opinions

    If noise is a concern, The double shot has no moderator. A friend had a Sumatra in .22, without a moderator it sounded as loud as a .22 magnum.

    N/A Dry fire/ purging first??

    Just make sure there's air in you tank! I went out after a squirrel, took a dry fire shot and heard a tank. On inspection the gun had leaked out all it's air. It damaged the valve seat and I'm still working on getting it to hold air....

    FX Royale valve question

    Hi folks, I've been resealing my Royale .22, regwas leaking, I replaced it with a Huma. It's leaking now from the barrel. I have a new valve stem and seat, but the new parts have a smaller valve seal and valve stem seal. I'm concerned if I use the new parts I'll lose power. Does anyone have...

    N/A Cheapest accurate, reliable, cocking, .22 pistol with red dot or other optic?

    You have two options to mount optics on the 1322-either get a steel breech for it around $40, or get an intermount for less than $15 https://www.crosman.com/product/crosman-scope-mounts/ that clamps to the barrel and the scope rings mount on it. A red dot sight is so much fun you may find...

    FX O-rings for FX Regulator Adjust screw?

    An FYI about reseal kits-the FX branded kit for my Royale I bought from Utah Air did not include either the outer or inner regulator seals, Not sure about other kits.

    FX O-rings for FX Regulator Adjust screw?

    You might give Utah airguns a call and ask to speak to a repair tech. I did just that a few days ago and the guy I spoke with was helpful.

    Airforce TalonP Lane Regulated vs Non Regulated

    I have no experience with Air force guns, but have you considered lowering your reg set point to 2000 psi or even 1800 psi? You'd have more regulated shots but might sacrifice some power. You might also try a lighter hammer strike? Your shot graph looks like the classic cliff from too much...

    FX FX Royale reseal help needed

    Gerry, Thanks for the help- I'll probably just get a Huma reg. Did you get yours directly from Huma?

    FX FX Royale reseal help needed

    Hi Gerry, The thought of getting a Huma did cross my mind-I was hoping to get back to shooting it sooner, but I may go that way since I may have to wait for parts. Does the Boss have the plastic washer between the reg and bottle adapter? I don't know how necessary it is.

    FX FX Royale reseal help needed

    Thanks for you replies- I got the bottle off with no problem. I'm a little hesitant to take the reg apart, but it really doesn't look all that complicated other than the disassembly. I will say those old hardened O-rings are take some effort to remove. I also seem to be missing the plastic...

    FX FX Royale reseal help needed

    Hi, Folks, I'm resealing my Royale 400, I grabbed it to go shoot and it had leaked down to zero. I bought a reseal kit and got started. I replaced the outer O rings on the reg as well as the fill port and bottle adapter O rings. It's now leaking out the reg vent hole, it will hold at 100 bar...
