Now for a few pics:

That titanium air tube is incredibly light!

“Nuttsac” carbine length:

Light weight and well balanced:

Relocated, larger, shrouded pressure gauge:

Just a handful of rifle:

Now for chrony and performance results from the builder:

“ My work with your rifle is done. I’ve put probably 600 rounds through it, and I am happy with the outcome! The best tuning that I could find was with the stock hammer spring all the way weak, and the hammer stroke turned in 6 turns. The transfer port restrictor is wide open. Using Crosman CP brown box ammo the gun is clocking 815fps for just over 30 shots. It is running about 810 at shot 30 and by shot 32 it usually gets down to 795 or so. Three honest magazines at 815 fps from a carbine!!! If this were a full size air tube it would be getting 50 shots. That is from an honest 3000psi fill, not an overfill.

The shot fps consistency is excellent. The total spread in the 30 regulated shots is from 820 to 812. Less than 1% deviation! “

Like the man said, I don’t think a guy can ask more from a short barrel carbine at 33″, and 5 1/2 lbs, balanced to perfection. It’s not a 100 yard rifle, nor is it set up for heavy pellets. The Vincent regulator is set at 1800 psi. This will bitch slap anything I ever shoot at here in the mountains. Due to the trees and hills, a 50 yard shot is considered long distance. Most stuff crops up at about 75 to 100 feet, usually less.

I’ll put a black nylon sling on it and a good scope.

It’s a bit noisier than the stock Marauder, but then what isn’t? It’s still quiet enough to be neighbor friendly and that’s all I need for my evil deeds. Since it’s custom everything, he’s sending me spare parts on all wearable items. I should be set for life.

Now, if I could only SEE!!!

I have good hopes. The doc said we caught the right eye in time and it should come back near 100%, but it will be next winter at least.

The builder isn’t making any more rifles. He had to sell his equipment and is going to change trades and start a new life elsewhere. Good luck to him. He’s a perfectionist and that plays well in any profession.

Kindly ‘Ol Uncle Hoot 😯
