Q:

Getting The Lead Out. A story of reminesance.

So This morning after work, while I was patroling for pest at home, I decided it would be a good time to clean the spent pellets out of the duct seal in the old bullet box. As I am getting deeper and radiating out from center mass I start examinitng the pellets and remembering what pellets they were and which rifle they came out of. There were silver stings in .177 ( last time I had those I had the Beeman Falcon and my 18″ .177 condor )
.22 Kodiaks Hmmm BSA Ultra MS. & AA S410. .25 Kodiaks and field target trophys Condor. Wow look how some of them look like they are melted together. I must have 10 pounds worth of spent ammo in there. I miss some of those rifles. I wish I had not sold some of sold them. But that is the past now Can’t change it. I just have to keep moveing forward. I can always remember the enjoyment of owning them.

quote SteveinLA:

Ya, but you have a .25 Marauder now. WooHoo! 😀 Have your pellets arrived? What are you going to do about air? That gun was designed to work with 3000psi. Some guys are tuning their .25 Mrods to start with a 3200psi fill. When you start at 2000psi, you are starting where most others end. What I am trying to say is that you will be much happier with the increased velocity and flatter trajectory; .25 is loopy enough when pushed at the higher velocities. I know money is tight. I am suggesting that you plan for a shoebox compressor as a next investment rather than an expensive scope, or another gun. Perhaps a CF tank…Guppy or Great White from Joe Broncato. I say this in all friendliness and respect. The .25 is an air hog and needs to be fed properly. You’ll be happier with it.

That being said, Cheers! 😀

I have wanted a Shoebox since I first read about them here.
I was even on the waiting list. It just didn’t happen.
I just have to get a visiual inspection on my current scuba and I will be set for now.
