I do have a Cricket .25 which shoots 60 fpe and with Ratsniper slugs, I’m sure it can dispatch any critter that needs it.

If you want something a little different than the standard rifles that they have in their catalog, you can call Martin and he will do his best to build it for you.

There is only one bolt attaching the stock to the rifle. The second bolt goes through the pistol grip to a “tee” nut inside the barrel channel, but doesn’t connect to the action. Looks to me like its there to prevent the stock from cracking.

I refill my Mrod from 2000 to 3000 psi with no more than 80 pumps from my Hill pump and get 35 shots. Conversely, my Talon takes almost twice as many for the same number of shots. Velocity is comparable. What gives?

I’m a bit disappointed that I don’t get the accuracy that I read about in these forums. I expected great things from these guns with the LW barrels. I think I have a sticky hammer for one thing. Seems that AF should do a better job here.

The next pellet takes a corkscrew path.

You might want to buy .177 for this appilcation. Or, you can buy both barrels and have fun finding out how they compare. That’s the fun of an Air Force rifle.

It’s ok, as far as I’m concerned, but I wish it were shorter.

Good point someone made about making the lower rail on the shroud the same size as the Weaver. I hate this 3/8″ or 11mm crap.

Rust? I doubt it. I’ve shot Int’l air pistol for years with my Walther CP3 on CO2 and never had a problem. I think someone said that if you shoot HPA, you should lube your pellets to prevent rust.
