New member here, and new to the PCP world. I recently bought a .177 Marauder Field & Target rifle. Due to my location, I mostly do close range target shooting. The Marauder F&T has way more power than I need, so I am interested in tuning it for lower power. 12fpe with an 8-ish grain pellet would be fok, 8-10fpe would be even better.
I have read some articles from Tom Gaylord on Pyramid Air where he adjusted an unregulated Marauder down to that range. My question is would that work with a regulated Field & Target? From I have read, it does not appear to be possible to get much more power out of the F &T because of the plenum volume, but what about the other way around? So other words, being new at this, I am wondering if adjusting the hammer spring, hammer stroke, and the valve metering screw will have same effect on F & T as an unregulated Marauder if I am trying to lower the power? Or does the non-adjustable factory regulator change things?
Thanks!
Thomas
