The Marauder as you said is quite inefficient and will give you 50-60 acceptable shots per fill after you spend half a day tuning it, which is not acceptable in 2021.
"Some of you have a serious problem with Chinese air guns even when they are as good (or better) and also significantly cheaper."I would have a problem with Chinese guns even IF they were as good.
The Benjamin Akela/Cayden/Kratos still do not have any parts available.Given that they are made by Kral (not Crosman) I doubt there will ever be any parts available.You do get the 5 year warranty which is still better than most.What is the point of paying $500-$600 on a Kratos and then buying an additional regulator?One could just buy a regulated air rifle from the beginning.
What's the difference between a 2,000$ Chinese gun, a 1000$ Chinese gun, and a 300$ Chinese gun? The 300$ one is assembled in China...
There is no Crosman EVP available for the Kral guns.This means that there are no part numbers and no part availability through Crosman. Apparently some of you state that you can order the parts by some other means, probably from Kral.So, Crosman has the 5 year warranty but not the parts. Still better than the Avenger warranty, but still no parts.
To answer a couple questions -- Yes there are EVPs for these models, just not public. Yes there are parts available from Velocity for these guns.
Nicest ladies in the business. Both Che and Putin have an agenda that involves our destruction. Avoiding doing business with either country is the best defense we can muster.Regards,Roachcreek
Crosman's website seems to be a work in progress. If you need something from them I suggest a phone call. I have found them to be extremely responsive. The kind of personal attention you won't get from our sworn enemies.
If the EVPs are not public then you do not have the part numbers, therefore you cannot purchase the parts.
I can't help but think that crosman ,being who they are with availability of parts ,would not have pre arranged a deal with Kral before the Cayden,Kratos and Akela were produced. I bet Crosman will have replacement parts for all 3 guns. You could probably get the answer from the tech department st Crosman i would think.How could they have the 5 year warranty without part availability without sending to Turkey? Wouldn't be the cheapest route for Crosman to go. Just a thought.

Just a thought.They probably have a certain number of basic parts on hand for repairs like poppets and o-rings, much more than that they probably just send you a new gun. Then they most likely just send the returned guns back to turkey in bulk for refurbishment and repackaging for resale.
