I ordered one last week, the maker who is in Thailand, Exclusive shop, sent it by Fedex and it got to me in the 3 days they specified.
It arrived undamaged wrapped in bubble wrap, with spare screws, not metric, that were much longer, a long piece of poly tubing all for those with risers breeches.
There were no instruction, however there is a short video on their Facebook site.
It was advertised as taking Mrod magazines and being able to convert it to left handed. I did convert it to left hand the first day, a bit tricky to align the linkage on the bolt side of the linkage. I solved this problem by putting a shallow point on the linkage screw end by putting the head of the screw in my drill and holding it against a sanding belt, this is the screw which also engages the hammer to cock the hammer, this made it self aligning and made the conversion easy.
The barrel is attached the same way the stock P-rod attachment and the breech attached like a stock P-rod with my Prod screws.
Assembly was easy. And it is very smooth and secure in operation.
I found a cut transfer port o’ring, discovered when I disassembled my Prod, and the only ones I could find were hard from age, so I tried to seal that tp with unknown origin and size orings with the Exclusive poly tp shortened, with the oem tp and with some refrigerant tubing, all with and without my questionable orings, and the old hard orings and all with Silcone Divers grease. I also checked my breech o’ring and it is fine.
None of these attempt cured the very loud pop coming from the breech when fired. Covering the breech with a small pillow indicated how quiet rhe P-rod is with the 480 FPS tune with Crosman hp’s, not wanting the P-rod to be “pillow tuned”, I ordered a couple sets of tp orings from Rick Hill.
Then I tried to insert the only P-rod nag I had and then discovered the P-rod nag is thicker than the Mrod magazine and would not enter the magazine window. So I then ordered a Mrod magazine in 22.
I am now waiting for these items before going further.
