    Tuning Benjamin Akela Troubleshoot

    I have an Akela and had the exact same issue. I pumped and pumped and pumped and nothing happened, in order for mine to hold air, i opened the bolt and actually left it open until it started taking air. Haven't had an issue ever since.

    Tuning New Benjamin Akela Initial Tune

    I just bough an Akela, and am actually on my second one. I returned the first on due to the shroud not actually floating but resting on the air reservoir strap. Im curios to see if your barrel is actually floating or not. Because the second one i received has the same issue. I also realized when...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    I actually am loving the bullpup, and I got a cantilever scope mount and it feels great when shooting. So far it seems to be a tac driver and it isnt to bad to pump up with a hand up. I am just a little disappointed that the barrel issue wasn't resolved. I am most likely going to just keep it...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    Thanks, So the package randomly showed up at my house yesterday so thats good! Unfortunately the barrel is still not "floating" but I'm not going through the return process again and it doesnt seem to affect accuracy. I got a Hawke 3-9x50 vantage mounted on it, with a riser and cantilever...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    The "Floating barrel" was not floating, and resting on the tank straps. It damaged the hell out of the shroud and strap when removing the shroud. Pyramid Air customer service was great and I am hoping the replacement gun get found, as they are currently out of stock until April/May

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    UPDATE: Still don't have the gun, Pyramid Air, issued a replacement, i shipped mine back, and apparently the new gun is "lost." FedEx said they didn't get the package, Pyramid Air is saying they gave it to FedEx. Currently waiting for a response one how to move forward. I feel like I was teased...

    BB trap ideas for Sig P365 practice.

    I just made a pellet trap for my basement, I used a square 5 gallon bucket, cut a pc of wood for the bottom, filled it with rubber mulch then taped a pc of cardboard to hold the mulch down. This thing works great and so far it will stop not only pellets but 22lr and 9mm as well. I dont know that...

    Benjamin Akela @ 50 yards.

    Awesome! I just purchased one and only had it a few days and had to send it back as the "floating" barrel was not floating but quite aggressively resting on the tank strap. Pyramid Air was awesome at getting an RMA and replacement on its way. As far as cleaning the barrel, what's the best way...

    Tuning New Akela, I want to love it but has some issues.

    Ya i have a replacement coming. The front band was pretty messed up and the shroud has some good scratches. Hopefully the next one will not be resting on the band. a floating barrel is meant to be just that floating. As far as mount goes, what mount did you go with. I want a cantilever and i...

    Tuning New Akela, I want to love it but has some issues.

    So I called Crosman and the shrewd of a lady who answered the phone insisted that i should have called before removing the shroud to adjust the barrel. I informed her that a manufactured product should be in working condition when received by the customer. I was very disappointed as I have heard...

    Tuning New Akela, I want to love it but has some issues.

    So I just purchased my first PCP, a Benjamin Akela, and to be honest it is a great looking gun and is almost perfect (for me and what I expected). I have 2 MAJOR issues: 1. The "picatinny" rail that is on the rifle, does not fit a picatinny scope mount due to the slots not being spaced far...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    Update!!! I received the knock off handpump last night and was fairly pleased with the build quality on it. Only thing that could be improved that i noticed is the threads were pretty sub par. But everything seals and it works! One thing that took me some time to figure out is it wouldn't get...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    I actually had an old poopty scope to try out before purchasing anything, and the cantilever mount worked well for me. If i notice i need more adjustment i am just going to get an adjustable butt pad since i tend to hold rifles a little off from vertical so the adjustable but plates work great...

    Finally made the plunge and purchased my first PCP! Benj Akela

    I finally was able to get into the PCP realm and i chose the Benjamin Akela. I have always had break barrel .177 and .22 rifles, and the obvious powder burners. But i could never justify spending that kind of money on a pellet rifle. Well I am getting a little older, and the want for a PCP...
