I don’t see a downside to a .25 Corsair(or whatever it gets called). It will have a 28″ barrel as a standard.
The other thing Randy’s trying to get done is a muzzle loader dump rifle built so it looks like a pb.

The last I heard was a 24″ barrel shooting 4500 psi on high power with a 170 grain went 875+ fps. And a 201 grain went 840+ fps. They are sending the prototype out for a distance test in the field by an individual shooter. Those results will be interesting to see.

The truth is, nothing about the Rogue has lived up to the hype that was put out. The guys I know that bought one said: it’s heavy, inaccurate, won’t shoot the power advertised, the magazine only works with small pointed bullets, and when cold, it takes several shots to get up to speed.

The time an money required to build a new design was probably cut short by some bean counters that said either sell it or shelve it.

The barrel can be removed. It takes 3 screws to disassemble the upper and lower. 1 is in the barrel band, 1 at the rear of the action and 1 in the breech opening. Once you lift off the breech, the barrel unscrews. When you screw it back in, you need to see the transfer port so it gets aligned, then replace the 2…Read more

Also, XP is working on a .308/.357 rifle called the Scout. No electronics, no plastic, no batteries needed, and it’s cheaper than the Rogue.

Longer barrels need additional air to keep increasing the speed of the pellet as it travels. Cutting that much off, you should have seen a drop of at least 50 fps, if the air passage was optimized for the barrel length. Obviously it wasn’t.

As far as the Corsair goes, I keep hearing about “glued together” and any body that believes you can glue together a rifle that holds 4000 psi, probably still believes in a tooth fairy.
