The engineering really isn’t that spectacular, were talking air here, opening a valve, air pushing pellet, pellet goes bye bye. Look at AR-15’s, there’s quite a bit going on in those semi auto’s.…Read more

These pcp’s cost more than real guns but they are made of much lower…Read more

The place i was going to hunt basically fell out anyway…..hate to do it but i think im just going to return all this shit, just kinda pissed. This gun is a bit bulkier than i thought…Read more

for the depinger, doesn’t the new marauder come with a depinger?

Goes on wet, cures dry, but still provides lubrication. They did rust tests, it came out ontop for the ones tested, which was most of them.

I think this stuff would work for moving parts too, but if not, i think i heard frog lube was good.

As for wood, i have some nice rifles, so been looking hard…Read more

So technically i don’t know the size, but its from a scuba shop, so im guessing its the typical tank somewhere around 80 cu and again guessing around 3000 psi

If that one from china was actually reliable (i have no way of knowing), then id probably buy it, if, it wasn’t in china, not going to wait a month to get it as i want to hunt this year.

As for that $140 one, im sure thats some high quality stuff, but there’s no way i…Read more
