Not as pellet fussy, either. Set up as a carbine, I was getting one hole groups at 20 yards with JSB 8.44 and 10.34 grainers, RWS Superdomes, Polymags, and Hunter Extremes. When I had my P-rod, I only got decent groups from the H&N Field Targets. Everything else was lackluster.

Pulling the trigger will complete a circuit, actuating a solenoid that will release the hammer. This would eliminate the need for a linkage, creating a light, smooth trigger pull. Many paintball guns use similar technology, and get thousands of shots from a single 9 volt battery. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t happened…Read more
