Crosman NP..???? I’m impressed

[shadow]

I have no doubt that this trigger will be top notch and a asset to the folks who own these shooters. The stock trigger isn't broke or malfunctioning so Bob's trigger wouldn't be a "fix" but a upgrade to a precision type feel trigger. Some folk's buy a shooter and never upgrade it in any way and are content with the way that it performs. There's the other folk's who do everything they can do to draw out as much performance from their shooters including tunes, triggers, barrels and the list go's on. Target or hunting with them it all depends on what the owners looking for and desiring from his or her shooter and bringing out the best of a shooter can also bring out the best in the one shooting it.

Hi Red:

I don't really know how to answer that but the cheek pad does raise the cheek weld a little higher to compensate for a scope. It does look nice but also serves a purpose I believe and may help to reduce the "feel" of the recoil but the recoil to me was not objectionable. It does have a rubbery non-slip feel to it though.

[LongIslandArcher]

You need to tap out the 2 pins that secures the cheek pad and raise it up the half inch that is provided in the stock.  There are no open sights on the NPSS and you will need the scope.  Fortunately, a scope is provided with the rifle as part of the package.

[CharlieDaTuna]

I'm sure that anyone that owns one is well aware of all of that and it depends on the person and what scope he uses when it comes to adjustment. It isn't something that you need to do but rather an option for the individual. I didn't need the scope for my purposes and I asked the person that owns the gun not send the scope with the gun for my reasons.

Thanks Bob, - where does one get one of these new triggers? - Does the GRT-III do it???

[CharlieDaTuna]

Not quite ready yet John. I want to do just a little more testing yet. Probably another week or so.

 No, it's not at all like the GRT-III....totally different.

Thanks Bob, ...

Well I am sure surprised with you post Bob. The only gas rams I have seen and have done light tunes on have been the Gamo's. They are very harsh and not a smooth cocking transition. I do know that they do  not shoot as hard as the normal spring gun but can have a tight overall deviation compared to the some springers before they are tuned. Guess you are gonna make me go out and buy one... just to see what you are talking about. Also take her apart to see if Crosman has been doing there work.

Leave it to you Bob to make a better wheel.. I am sure your new trigger blade will make it worth buying a new Trail NP. Just think a good smooth shooter out of the box and a new light weight trigger... Way to go Bob, and thanks again for making our air gun sport/hobby more fun and interesting.

Keep us informed. I have to go see Crosman for a new gun now...

[CharlieDaTuna]

Hey.... glad to see ya back. You must be feeling better and maybe getting caught up huh?  Need to talk to you about it...maybe lunch this week sometime.  MEXICANO

Im in!! You two guys got me lovin dat stuff!!!!!Double beef& bean for me!!:) See you guys SOON!!:) Tim.

[RedFeather]

Gene, please don't buy a Nitro to take apart, tune, etc. I don't need another of your guns and am a bit poor at the moment.  

[Mattnshilp]

OK. So, Crosman has passed the Nitro NPSS series off to Remington as the NPSS line as well as to Benji as the Trail NP series. The Remington NPSS seams to be just about the same as the Crosman NPSS was, but the Benji Trail NP series looks to have nicer stocks and a slightly different look (from what I have seen).

So my question is -

Benji Trail NP or BSA Lightning XL?

Size aside - obviously the XL is almost 6" longer. But weight and velocity are comparable; as is its use. And the Trail NP is significantly less expensive.  I know the Trail NP isn't out just yet, but the NPSS has been...



Thanks!

This was off the Vortek site. I don't know if it is the same piston.

These pasts few years have been a busy time with new product designs and most recently, Vortek was awarded a multi-year contract with Crosman Corporation, East Bloomfield, NY, http://www.crosman.com for the licensing of the new “silent gas-spring retro-fit and airgun technology”, trade name; “NITRO PISTON”, NPSS Air Rifles that produce high velocities from a short-stroke cylinder, and shares an ease of cocking relative to its power!

Good Health,
