Thanks, I have the equipment for all of that, so that is no problem. I just started in the PCP world last summer with a Marauder and was a bit surprised at the lack of info that is available on the different guns. Do you need to have the gun in hand to reverse engineer the barrel profiles in...

Thanks, that helps. It might not seem like much work, but as someone earlier posted, set up takes a considerable amount of time in many situations. I’m fairly new to PCPs, I bought a Marauder last summer and also have an HW95 and a couple pump guns. I have been doing some basic mods, but it’s...

I do machining as a side business, I’m not looking to get into airgun smithing at this point, but I am curious what machining needed to be done to the barrel. Are there any drawings or sketches of what‘s involved? I’ve seen plenty of drawings for PBs, but very little on air rifles.

Thanks for posting, I got a quick reply from JSB, but forgot to update this post. Your results are interesting, and about what I would expect. I also tested some H&N FTT from the 4.51mm tin, and they were consistently all right around 4.50-4.51 and shot well out of my rifle. Back to JSB...

FX responded today that they don’t know what the head diameter tolerance is and I should contact JSB since they make them. When I was a product manager, I would never dream of telling my customer to contact the manufacturer of a product I private labeled. I guess times have changed… In the...

You need to be careful sending checks, I have a banker in a business association I belong to and she told us about a customer of hers that sent in a check for the utility bill and someone intercepted it, washed the ink except for the signature, and wrote it for $7,000 instead of the seventy...

I bought one of those on sale from Midway, it’s a really nice scope for the money.

That’s a good idea, I’ll contact JSB if I don’t hear back from FX. This is what I was getting at 25 meters, first picture FX pellets, second pic Crosman boxed Premiers. I was doing ten shot groups from 2800 psi down to when velocity dropped by about 5% or so to see how many shots I could get...

Thanks, I think they would perform better if they were in that size range. I emailed FX to see what the tolerance is on the head diameter to see if these are out of spec. I mentioned to my 15 year old daughter that I emailed them about this and she said I am one of the few she knows that...

I bought some pellets to test in my new to me Marauder. Most of the pellets were not too bad, some better than others, but the FX 10.3gr looked like I was shooting a shotgun, even at 10 yards in my basement. I measured the head diameter to see how they compared to the ones shooting better and...

I moved out of NJ 19 years ago, so can’t help with ranges. I belonged to a club in Newtown PA before moving, I don’t know if they are still there, I know there were developments going up surrounding them, but they had a 200 yard range as well as a pistol range and might be an option. As for...

I ordered an Athlon Argos 6-24 scope for my Marauder, it should arrive on Wednesday. Midway has them for $300, so couldn’t pass up that deal.

The Navy has done extensive testing on these tanks and determined they have infinite life when filled to rated pressure and no extensive exterior damage. They are trying to get the 15 year life rating changed so they don’t need to replace perfectly good tanks. Everyone should do what they...

I live in northwestern CT and it is nice here with lots of things to do, but CT is a very expensive state and getting worse every year with the influx of NYers. Winters are not too bad, and I live at the top of a hill with good breezes during the summer, so humidity is not bad at all. We run...

I have the SWFA 6x42 and love it.

My order of FX pellets arrived, so I spent some time testing them against the Crosman Premier heavies I ordered as well. Before I get into that, @rcolletti messaged me to come shoot with him, we live in the same town. I got to try his rifle, and OMG was it nice to actually experience a one...

$250k might be a bargain, or it could be WAY overpriced, I would have to see their books to see if this was even remotely a possibility, but with the economy on a path to a deep recession, now would not be the time I would want to be buying a discretionary product manufacturer like this. Since...

That last part was mostly a joke, my warped sense of humor doesn’t come though forums very well. I don’t expect to do well the first time, and will use it as a learning experience, but I also want to do my best. I have been tuning my new to me Marauder and it looks like I found a pellet and...

I tend to buy the best value, sometimes it’s on the cheaper end, sometimes the best you can get. I’m just starting in the PCP world and bought a used Marauder to complement my HW95 springer. I would like to have the most accurate rifle I can afford, but at this point in my learning curve, the...

My wife and kids have a full weekend for me unfortunately. I am working on improving the accuracy of my rifles, so I hope to compete and not be embarrassed soon!
