My Test Results with an SSG, and FFH (HDD) installed, vs. a Stock Marauder

[nervoustrigger]

Joe, Steve did indeed credit Bob when he posted about it on the yellow forum, at least on two separate occasions that I saw.  I have not been to AoA's site so I don't know about that.

The only reason that I asked about the AoA SSG/FFH was that I recalled somewhere that Bob wrote that he didn't mind people selling SSGs based on his design, but he asked to be credited for the idea/design.  I realize that doesn't make a legal obligation, but as a relatively small community, I think Bob's contributions are well known across many forums, even ones that he doesn't participate in.  It would be nice to give credit where credit is due.  I tried to find where I read that from Bob, but I couldn't find it, so maybe I imagined it, or maybe it was on another forum.

Then I will correct my post.  Thank you for pointing that out. I want to be as fair to all as possible. Steve and Travis have been very helpful.

To clarify Steve_in_NC did credit me when he first started developing the SSG concept.... Once he changed the name to his "Free Flight Hammer" (FFH) all mention of the work I did in pioneering it ceased.... I don't ask to be paid for my ideas, which I freely share with the airgun community, but it's nice when my contributions are recognized....

It is what it is....

 Im going to change the name also  to BTFFH (better than free flight hammer) LOL. Credit were credit is due.  The SSG is a device that eliminates hammer bounce and makes tuning a breeze! It was developed by Bob Sterne from the GTA and further developed by WAR to fit inside the Marauder air rifle with no mods at all. This device will make your gun quieter due to no hammer bounce that blows extra air out of the barrel ! It will GREATLY increase your shot count and in some cases has doubled the shot count per fill. This is a must have for the marauder enthusiast...     That is how I described it and didnt forget to put the GTA in there also. Ethics is something that can be learned, thought and shared but  seldom is.

I should add that Travis asked my permission before working on an SSG to market, I gave him my blessing, but asked that he credit me.... True to his word, he did just that, and continues to do so, and I thank him for doing so....

Thank Travis.  I need to update a few areas on the review, but the time just seems to melt away, no matter how early I start and late I finish.
The shooting took quite a few pellets, and the writing of the article came when I was in the middle of other business matters, so it was a crazy time. I'm going to update the review when I get back from picking up some invntory from Arizona. 

After I check out these Hubens I just got in, I'll come up for air and take the review from 80% finished to 95%.
