    Tuning Found marauder leak.. what is it lol

    Thanks guys, i think it is the orings sealing either the gauge bracket or around the valve right behind it. Both look a little ratty. Its a fairly slow leak but its definitely there and really shows up after a few days of sitting. I saw mention of deburring the machined cuts in the air tube...

    Tuning Found marauder leak.. what is it lol

    So i got tired of having to constantly top up my marauder air supply... It turns out my marauder pistol gauge is leaking from the little hole on the back. Easy right? But wait theres more. I submerged the pistol in the bathtub on a full charge to be sure i found them all... and i found 1...

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Excellent idea. Probably not much good for anything else without removing material from inside, and not wanting to go down that route to salvage lol. Just can't believe I have 3 valves from Crosman here all with the same issue lol. Crazy that many new marauders out there have that going on maybe??

    Sold me an fx crown. Great to deal with, fast shipping and excellent packaging job on the rifle. Would deal again!

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Resolved. Apparently there is an issue with the Crossman valves. Today I put in a replacement fill valve from airtanksforsale. It's a much nicer piece and has perfectly smooth open and close with little force. Everything works perfectly now. Thank you all for your help and input!

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Swapped 2 different orings into both valves, 70 duro and a 90. Both are sticky even by hand moving them closed, but they open easily. Much harder to close than ANY other here. No issue with fx crown and several airforce rifles, or my buddy's marauder. Soo, I'm basically out if ideas here aside...

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Hah that's a good idea! Thanks! I did get a few o rings but haven't had time to mess with it yet. I got a few 006 buna nitrile, some 70 duro and some 90 duro. Is one better for this application? Gun fills to about 3000psi if that matters.

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    The oring change sounds like good advice, I think you're on to something there. Everything slides properly when lubed, but it is indeed harder to close than open with my hand and a punch. I will also give Crossman a call again. They did send me a new fill nipple with check, but the problem...

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Thanks for the info! That makes sense! What would be a way to clean that? Perhaps that part is defective on my rifle since it'd done it from the factory... I did pull that adapter out of the front of the air tube and looked at it real quick, but didn't notice anything that looked out of the...

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Correct, the valve where you fill the rifle at the end if the reservoir. The check valve does not close unless you hit it hard on the hose bleed, other rifles here don't seem to be as stubborn. Crossman sent a new fill valve, they both act the same. I cannot see a problem with either. No, not...

    Tuning Marauder sticky fill valve

    Have a pretty new marauder here... the fill valve does work, but it's very sticky on closing. Opens okay on fill, but hates to close unless I can open the bleed VERY fast. In fact, I cannot fill it off my air tank since it has a push button bleed valve instead of the screw valve like on the...

    Tuning Airforce texan - gauge issue?

    Yeah.... I've not had good luck with the stock gauges at all. I'd definitely suspect the issue is there.

    Tuning Marauder blowback hammer hole

    Haha I did make a custom gorilla tape patch since it was driving me nuts... but yes I was hoping it was normal and don't have something strange going on. Thank you guys!

    Tuning Marauder blowback hammer hole

    Hello all, Got a new Benjamin marauder pistol, very cool gun, but I'm having a bit of an issue right out of the box. When firing, the gun blows a small puff of air into shooters face from directly out of where you put the Allen wrenches into the breach to adjust hammer spring and preload. If I...

    Tuning Airforce gauges failing

    Anyone have any insight or experience with the on tank gauges on air force rifles failing? I've seen 3 fail, all pretty new, say less than an year. Either the gauge leaks or simply stays stuck in middle of measuring range....

    Filling pcp with scuba tank

    Slow and steady here as well, never had an issue even though the fill tank is much higher pressure than the gun tank. Just barely cracked it open and watch the gauges when I do it.

    Air Rifles as alternative to gun and ammo shortages

    Same boat here op. Airguns have been my go to whenever we have one of these ammo shortage things. About 10 years or so I snagged an airforce talon in 22 cal. I shot pretty much any 22lr shooting with it during times like this. A similar 30 or 35 cal rifle could fill the bigger bore niche very...
