Title: gen 1 marauder parts
Post by: HillGSA on July 05, 2015, 01:27:38 PM

I have a gen 1 ( older style ) marauder rifle in .22. I wanted to go ahead and get the necessary parts ( before they become obsolete ? ) to have the option of shooting .25 pellets.

These are some of the ( main ) parts needed for the .22 to .25 conversion: 9, 8, 39, 40, 20, 10, 12, 28, 35, 18, 19. I will reuse my valve assembly, some of the screws, and the other existing  parts, that are necessary to complete the caliber changeover. I already had a .25 barrel, and a shroud mount on hand.

I have considered buying the gen 1 breach, barrel and extra parts to swap my 25 cal to 22 cal Mrod..
That way I have both guns in one.
Tim are you holding out on us, where did you get the trigger guard with AR grip and stock adaptor?

You would have both calibers, but would take a bit of effort to swap out, retune, and re-zero - which is fine for extended shooting sessions - days. Otherwise, 2 separate rifles may be easier.




I designed and have have been using the adapter ( and the barrel bands ) for about 3- years now. 
Here are some earlier pictures of the grip-stock adapter;

I only have one of the grip-stock adapters, as they are time consuming and costly to make.

Tim,

I really like the AR grip style you have shown in the photo above, it is very compact trigger guard/grip combo assembly.

Now if someone was selling Mrod hammer sears for the Prod trigger assembly I could mount it one the main tube assembly.

Tuning is not bad nor is changing out the breach assemblies between two calibers is very easy to do with main tube.
Yes I agree you wouldn't want to screw around with it a lot or all of the time because it is time consuming plus shooting a lots of pellets in both calibers to re-zero and tune.
