Will you be using it at Holbrook Saturday? Dan

The main shaft is 5/32, the head is 5/16. Dan

Not much. The next change may be the bolt/probe. The stock valve body on this gun as manufactured by crosman was poorly done. The hole for the valve stem was drilled about .020" off center. Dan

The factory valves in marauders are molded rather crude affairs with out a sealing oring on the valve stem. If the seat in a marauder gets damaged the whole valve body has to be replaced. I had a damaged body and decided to bore the seat out and put a replaceable plastic seat in it. I then...

Turns out my new lathe is a 16". Dan

Glad to hear you finally got that machine. I got a new machine today too. I was given a 14.5" south bend. Cost $250 to get it home. It is nice and heavy and should be good for deep boring a new action. Dan

Unfortunately I won't be at Holbrook Saturday. If you or anyone would like to print a target send me an email at obturate at juno.com and I'll send you a copy. Dan

LOL, the misses may have a problem with me holding matches in the basement. Dan

My picture is not to scale. When printed it will be. The five ring is about 24mm across. Dan

Degas the gun first Harry. I do it by removing the hammer springs and placing a solid rod of plastic where the springs normally are. Tighten the hammer nut onto the plastic and this will drive the hammer into the exhaust valve holding it open and evacuating the gun. Next, remove the air cylinder...

I forgot to say that with this target to shoot an X you have to obliterate the solid black circle. A ten is touching the red dot, and an 8 is touching the solid black. The rest of the target is normal. Dan

Shooting WRABF targets at reduced ranges I just spent an hour or so making a resized wrabf target for use at 50 feet. Making an accurate reproduction at a reduced range is not as easy as reducing the size of the target by 66%. The reason is because you would have to use a reduced size plug for...

You have to keep up with the latest technology Todd if you want to win, voodoo is the next big thing in benchrest. Dan

Don't forget the Crosman shoot is July 12-14. Dan

I had toyed with the idea of a few of us out east getting a motor home and making a cross country trip to AZ this year for the shoot. After a suggestion from Mark I have had a change of heart. Why take the chance on attending a shoot like this with the costs involved and end up disappointed with...

Nice looking gun and a shooter too. The only 12fpe TM that I've worked on wanted a reg setting of 1350psi, the same as yours. Dan

My wife belly aches sometimes over the noise. So far no issues with the neighbors, the closest is about 60 yards. I can shoot to 100 yards but I would really like to make a shooting tunnel or tube to be able to shoot wind free. Dan
