Fun to shoot – Prod
I bought a prod from walmart.com last week and it arrived last Thursday. It is a fun little gun to shoot. I wasn’t too happy with the OEM carbine stock so I ordered the AR 15 kit from R. Arms Innovation and a 1/2 x 20 adapter from Wicked Air Rifle. The AR 15 shoulders really well and I can quickly shoulder,aim and shoot with accuracy. It is well balanced and I don’t find myself struggling to keep the target between the crosshair. With my 5 inch LDC, the gun makes a thunk sound. Neighbors would not know what the hell that was. Literally speaking, a fart is definitely louder.
I know the purpose of the pistol is to keep it short I don’t have the right scope to shoot it as a pistol at the moment. Maybe in the future I can get a fancy stock like Cali from Brazil 🙂
Thanks to SEcoda, GKU and CAlbarry for the info on this gun. Next up is a custom 3 1/2 inch LDC for it. Just waiting on materials.

The Prod is actually a .22 cal. Most of the parts I had but I’ll list them here:
Marauder Pistol from Walmart $368.27 with free shipping: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Benjamin-Marauder-PCP-.22-Caliber-Air-Pistol/16536073
I got it here because returning stuff is very easy and they’re everywhere.
Harris S series Bipod $106.50 from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Harris-Engineering-S-BRM-Hinged-Base/dp/B000JJGXAI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421164222&sr=8-2&keywords=harris+bipod
I think I actually got it cheaper with Amazon Prime. Don’t see it anymore.
Bug Buster UTG 3-9×32 from Pyramid Aire $94.97: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/UTG_3_9x32_AO_Compact_CQB_Bug_Buster_Rifle_Scope_Illuminated_Mil_Dot_Reticle_1_4_MOA_1_Tube_Medium_Max_Strength_Lever_Lock_Weaver_Rings/4222
I like the compactness of this scope and great for within 50 yds. I would recommend high rings for this gun because it has to clear the magazine underneath it.
1/2 x 20 UNF adapter for LDC $40 from Wicked Air Rifle: http://www.wickedairrifles.com/store.html
AR 15 six position collapsible stock and adapter (Rai 008) $100 from R Arms Innovation: http://www.rarmsinnovations.com/shop/
I also had a swivel stud laying around so I added that to the foregrip for the Harris Bipod to attach to.
Next will be Prod double from Airgun lab. $168: http://www.airgunlab.com/products/p-rod_double
donnyfl : Your .25 cal. set-up looks simple , but , also how one should say intriguing . Beside the work you put into it yourself with your own LDC . How much was your total cost layout for your rifle including your scope and what type of scope you put on your rifle and why did you choose the scope you used ? I liked your set-up , I was wondering how much it would cost to have the same set-up ? If you don’t mind saying .
THANKS , FROM: THE BIRDMAN
Found this video on how to switch the cocking lever from the right side to the left: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygMCHUYOiig
I finally don’t have to reach across my face to cock the gun.
After I buy my compressor , I may end up with a P rod,,,
Way cool looking gun ,,,
I like that set up…

Looks like your on your way bud !
I was envisioning mines to becoming a Rapid mini BP.
Made a fat boy 4″ slider LDC for it, but it was never completely finished. 🙁
In conjunction with the BHB O-ring mod it had very little sound except the air traveling through the transport.
It’s outer secondary tube (back draft damping/expansion chamber) slide forwards out of the way so I could get the foster connect to go on without removing the LDC.
When finished topping it off, slide back into position before shooting.
Fill cap also goes on the same, no need to modify it.

Thanks Bud! The cricket and matador are definitely going to be sitting for a while 🙂 Mostly because my range is within 50 yds. Not as bulky to carry up and down the stairs from the gun room to the yard. I was telling SEcoda that although the double air tube is ugly to some, I kinda like the looks of it and wouldn’t mind doubling my shot count 🙂 So that’ll be my next addon for the gun.
Congratz!!! It’s my favorite gun for the reasons you mentioned. It’ll quickly become your favorite little pester. I should be getting my Wicked no bounce hammer tomorrow 🙂
Cool. My neighbor says he can’t even hear mine from about 100 feet away with the 5″ TKO.

Get an elbow for the fill nipple. I feel the bullpup doesn’t shoot rested as well as carbine. But shoulders much better. Rapids stuff is good if you want to bullpup it.
