Monkeydad,
What is the length of that scope with the sunshade? I absolutely love the way it looks on that gun.....
Thank you,
John

18" with, just over 15" w/o. I love it, too.

Seems like Crosman changed up the tubes, valves and screws on the Maximus---on top, compared to a Disco tube---on bottom. But at least the Disco tube fits, right?

Interesting shot string.... The first 23 shots are a shallow curve (pretty much on the plateau, actually), and 35 shots before it falls below 4% ES.... Just a touch less hammer spring and I think a 40-50 shot string averaging 10 FPE within a 4% ES should be pretty easy....

Yeah, it does have the potential.

So, I did go into my Maximus. I wanted to see if it only had 2 valve retaining screws, and that's all it has holding the valve. Screw openings are .275. So if I went that far, why not check out the hammer spring. Very short is the first thought, then how heavy it is. Perfect for a Cothran valve. I have it next to a newer Disco spring (middle) and to a 13XX spring (next to tape measure). I think I'll go for broke and degas then take out the valve. Airgunning minds would like to know.
