I just spoke the a customer service lady at Crosman and as of now they do not have any part #'s for the Gen 2 Fortitude and don't know anything about upgrading your Gen1 ;-  (

I have a few of these guns and would really like to get the Gen2 velocity ... very important to me.

I have read this before, I think on Hard Air Fortitude Gen 2 review - the part number is BJ-BPF22SG2.
They may not have individual parts numbers yet as they generally do not release the EVP for a year.

Says 23 fpe now I think that is just enough to be competitive with the  Gamo Urban... good move...

Curiously, where did you read the ~23 FPE number ? I have not see that reference anywhere.

I used a calculator & came up with about ~20.3 FPE at 800 FPS using a 14.3 grain pellet.

From the HAM Fortitude Gen 2 review I posted earlier, they only gained 20 FPS on the high setting, and still under 18FPE.

the Ham reveiw at the pic of the rifle... says 850 fps and 23 fpe..

You will not regret it !! The Fortitude is one of my favorite rifles ... the fact that it is so quiet is a major plus in my book. The accuracy is also off the charts ;-  )

That's great to hear, I eagerly await delivery !

I'll also show off my $75 dollar 4500 PSI refill tank setup.

Is the tube on these just like the Disco tube but has couple extra holes at the front drilled for breach? I guess parts could be available in the future. I wonder if a Marauder trigger will fit it like my Disco does...

Thanks

It is a more a maximus tube (valve screw location) with four extra holes for the breech.  Two at the rear, and two on each side of the tp hole. 

The Gen 1 mrod trigger fits.   

[Canadianguy55]

Your right! My mistake...I do have a Disco tube with Maximus stock and Gen 1 trigger now.. Do you think the valve screws location is the same? I would like the fortifide whole upper and tube maybe the regulator too.

The valve screw locations are different from the disco to the maximus or fortitude.  The forward breech screws go into the valve on the fortitude.

[Canadianguy55]

That valve idea would be a problem, I would want to use the one I have but there not drilled for the breech bolts. I have no way to machine stuff I was looking for more mix and match lol

So I wonder is the Fortifide 3000 tube ID and OD different from Disco 2000 because one is rated for 3000?

This is what I was all wondering?

Thanks Fuzzy!

They are the same.

[Kiljoy45]

Anyone know off hand if the shroud is the same diameter as the shroud on a P-rod?

[FuzzyGrub]

No, it is the same as the mrod, both diameter and length.

Question for you guys, would a disco double tube kit fit on the fortitude? I think it will and if so it would work in the stock I already have it in. I am curious because I was thinking of buying a multi shot breech and shrouded barrel for my Disco thought this may be a workable alternative, provided the barrel proves to be accurate.

Nope, completely different breech mounting. The Fortitude has four bolts, similar to the MRod and PRod. The valve and regulator also mount differently.
