Benjamin fortitude GEN 2

[SwampHunter]

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.

I understand that the breech bolts on differently and that my Disco valve will not work but what I was asking was if the tubes are the same diameter shouldn't the double tube work on the stock fortitude tube and upper?

Don’t know about the disco double, but the prod double has a larger OD tube than the OEM.  It is 1” OD in steel, and think it is 1” OD with the aluminum option.

Ok, I will check it out a lil more, if it won't work no biggie. Thanks for your help

Any idea on what type of valves are in these? Like a stock Disco valve?

I believe it has a valve more like the Maximus, not 💯 though

[Canadianguy55]

I assumed they are like the Disco, never seen a Maximus valve.

[FuzzyGrub]

The poppet is the same as the Maximus, but a different valve body.  It does not use the larger stem poppet of the disco.   There are only two valve body screws, which line up with maximus, not the disco.

This is in the Fortifide too?  Had no idea that much difference...like to see one of those.

It reduces the hollow plastic sound when you brush or rap against the stock.  I've done it on many a syn stock.  I've used compressed Styrofoam peanuts, but they are not used in shipping (a good thing) anymore.  I figured they would be easier to remove then the spray in, expanding type.

Okay my next question is how to get it in the stock. The back plate doesn't come off? Maybe drill a hole?

Remove the rear sling stud, and you should be able to remove the butt plate.

Oh okay....it must just screw off then?

Today I called into Pyramid Air to add a tin of JSB Hades pellets to my existing order, my plan was to use their new coupon code called "CANDLE-20" for a 20% discount. Before I called them I entered all the things from my current back order: Gen 2, & 4 tins of pellets along with the 20% off coupon, I was then shocked when all items received a 20% discount !

I quickly took a screen shot of my shopping cart so I'd have proof (just in case) & then called Pyramid Air up. After a quick phone discussion they agreed to give me this new 20% discount to my entire order, though they said different sale items were supposed to be on sale on different days. I was able to get everything for the great price of $271.57 shipped.

I mention this because the Fortitude Gen 2 will officially be on sale this Friday for 20% Off, so that's $239.99 shipped !
