Title: Will Piatt Tuned/Modded Maurader Carbine
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on October 07, 2011, 06:33:20 PM
Not a fan of the Crosman trigger so Will made me a new blade, and a very nice trigger tune.

Installed and recrowned a Maurader rifle barrel and shroud, with Will's new internals.

Raised the breach.


The gun now shoots right at 800 fps with the 14.3gr pellets, so I could get close to 25 FPE with heavier ones  ;D ;D

I'm sure Will's massage is close to that backpack gun you want. That trigger looks interesting.

Great looking carbine Manny!  How many "power" shots do you get?  Is that a full-length Marauder barrel?

People buy Mauraders because they are cheap, and that is what you get, to make them into a decent gun you have to put some money into them, that's why tuners like Greg Davis being making Big dollars for years now and custom Stock makers are laughing all the way to the bank, that's why I say a Rainstorm is cheaper than a Maurader :)

Hey Manny
Out of curiosity, why did you get rid of your rainstorm? I am thinking of getting one in a few months, can you offer any insight on this rifle?
Thanks
Ray

Absolutely Awesome Rifle, but it was just a luxury for me, My Sumatras are better in the field, and I had to get this little one for my daugther, and this Carbine is plenty for backyard hunting :)
