Marauder Regulator

[ShadowShot]

Has anyone tried one of these? What kinda results are you getting?

how does that even install?  how many more shots can u get?

[ShadowShot]

Im thinking about doing it but I want some feed back first. Looks like an easy enough install. I depinged my Marauder with a piece of 1.25 high pressure black hose. It was very easy to do and made the rifle much nicer to shoot. If this will help with the consistency and is worth it, I might do  this also.

I'm sure you will actually lose a few shots as the regulator takes up some of the reservoir space.  What you will be gaining is a very flat velocity spread.  Your velocity will also be down a bit because of the limited volume of regulated air the valve can dump.  A stock Marauder has the whole reservoir for the valve to feed from.  You can buy a reservoir extension that will gain the volume back plus some.  Should be good for about 60 very consistant shots.  Personally, I would install the regulator as far forward as possible, leaving a larger regulated chamber in front of the valve and install a reservoir extension.  Best of both worlds.

I have used one. Too simple to install:

 If you remove the air gauge & block (that the gauge screws into inside the tube) you loose no air volume. I tried it in a .177 Marauder just today 905fps +/- 9fps for 60 + shots off 3000psi.   As FT is my thing this would be just fine with me. It is adjustable, simply screw the knob on the front of reg (naturally it must be out of the rifle) to adjust, "5 minutes -(on a clock?)- eguals 10bar of adjustment.  If you use .22 and follow the simple one page directions you can get 60 shots at 25-26fpe with the same 10fps max spread, likely you can boost it a bit higher if that is your thing.
 So a stock Marauder(.22) may get 30 shots at 25fpe with a 40fps spread and with the reg you would get 60 shots with a 10fps spread. The batch that came in last week is sold out (I believe) so you might want to email Vincent saying you want one from the next batch.
 I hear they work very well in the AA rifles as well as the Monsoon. He can also get them for other airguns and is a pleasure to deal with.

Did you put the air gauge and block back or is it completely removed?

[spysir]

Shadow,

 I left the air block&gauge out using the factory hole to vent the reg. It comes with a great one page instruction sheet which I had intended to follow but I get 905fps (=/-9fps) for 6 + clips in .177 with it just dropped in. Vincent is super fast in bussiness deals, I sent a M/O from TN and had the reg in my hands four days later. I still plan on adjusting it just to see what it does but have been having to much fun to stip it down right now.

Does anyone have figures on .22 and can it be adjusted to 930 range?(for Marauder) does the metering screw come into play on adjustments?Sounds like a worthwhile item for consistant and longer strings(hate pumping)

[CitySniper]

The .22 Mrod Shoots 14.3 grains in the low 900's without adjustments....So the answer to your questions is yes

And I honestly can't give you numbers from my Mrod because I don't have a chrony yet. However That didn't stop me from adjusting my Gun

My Metering screw is turned 3.25 turns counterclockwise from fully closed

My hammer Tension is 1 full turn clockwise from full tension

My stroke length Is 1 turn clockwise from full length.


I just copied this setup from someone who posted their shot string on the yellow, and they were getting 30 fpe. I can honestly say this thing shoots hard, and I pretty much need a need back stop.

Dont get one. Mine may have been a dude but it did not regulate it like they said it would. I took it out and put everything back like it was. Now after degassing the marauder, something is broke. I just about couldn't get it charged back up. It would just blow air through it. I finally opened the valve on my tank quickly and and it finally sealed. Only problem, I can cock it but I cant get it to fire. waiting to hear back from Crosman.

" Mine may have been a dude but it did not regulate it like they said it would"

 What numbers did you get? Or what did it not do?
