Benjamin All NEW Benjamin G3 Marauder at the PA Cup!

Long barrels are GOOD !!!! Easier to make power and correctly valved with low dwell are much quieter than short barrels.
Yes Pups can achieve this and end up shorter .. But, short guns are harder to stabilize / hold steady than longer guns.

Simply no free lunch here ... it's a long gun and IS what it IS.

Agreed on long barrel advantages. Not a fan of the super short pups. Maybe Crosman will consider making a pup version with a long or take advantage of the layout to add an even longer barrel.

I’m just short is all. Lol
 
Hey 3Crow....

The shroud goes to the length of the barrel just shy of the threads which will allow you to thread right on to the barrel and shoulder on the shroud. so no cutting needed unless you shorten the barrel. However, you will need something to center the barrel in the shroud on that end if you are not using the factory moderator. I do agree the DFLs are the best in the industry!!

The stock is made with polymer/glass filled nylon material. the stocks on these prototypes were off tooled samples and for first shots they looks pretty damn good. Just some minor sink marks to work through processing once production starts.
Phillip how did the prototype do at the bench?
Not sure who was shooting it.
 
I like the rifle. But, please do not force me to take a saw and a torch to a new gun :eek: . I am a pickle free zone. No pickles allowed. Can y'all please just make the barrel threaded so I can optionally use a muzzle device or not.

I should have done a video of me burning the pickle from my Urban! It was stressful. But, suppresors are not always needed or even desireable. And when they are I can thread one on, please!
The designer just told me on another forum (HAM) that the moderator is NOT bonded. No worries there.

That is great news. From what I gather in these concurrent threads is that the moderator is what supports the muzzle end within the shroud rather than that stripper inside the current M-Rod shroud at the muzzle. The moderator is dual purpose. So any aftermarket device will require an adapter that is machined to support the shroud and muzzle and then with 1/2X20 threads. Which should be no issue in doing so. Just reading between the lines a little.

This is what he posted:

"I appreciate all of the comments.

We got lots and lots of .30 comments. I am going to send this to management so they can see what you all are saying.

The moderator and shroud are not bonded. Plus, if you remove them you will find a threaded barrel. That way you can remove the shroud and run your favorite moderator.
