Prod $230.62

[SwampHunter]

Gents, I have started to build the brand new take-off PROD parts I got fom UUChris for so cheap  ..

I will not be using the gauge as I have plugged the hole and reversed the orientation (turned it so that it points upward the breech).

Like a regulator, it is not secured by a screw or anything (just the 2 O-rings to make it tight), so will it not budge?

I am aware that once filled with air, the pressure will somehow push it against the valve or spacer, again, like a regulator.

Am I correct to assume this is the case then?

The plumber's gauge plug is much cheaper than a Magnum Airpower threaded gauge bypass, you know  ..

Thank you!

It will not move because it allows air to equalize on both sides of it, unlike a regulator that only allows a certain psi past it.

Thank you, sir  ..

Got my complete parts list for Crosman  (PROD parts and some) and will contact them again tomorrow.

The barrel band for the PROD is surprisingly well-made and not of Zamak material like on the 22xx guns  ..

[FuzzyGrub]

It will migrate closer to valve over time.  Just make sure you install the spacer so it can’t move.

Ricky,
The Prod from the factory has an alum spacer tube between the gauge block & valve so the G-block doesn't move when pressurized.  see #39 in the diagram of BP2220-EVP.

Thank you, gents, for your inputs  ..

UUChris did give me that spacer you mentioned about amongst other crucial parts so I am golden  ..

I stripped the finish of the tube as I plan to have it powdercoated tomorrow.

It is starting to look as I want it to  ..

Mine will be without a shroud as I like the look of a plain barrel with an LDC attached to it.

We all are, but please post it in the PCP gate.  This is not the right gate for discussing modifications and build's.

Thank you,
Harry

My apologies and thank you  ..

I don't have a problem with anyone  "chasing rabbits" either.
If I don't want to read along I can unsubscribe. Just my opinion.

Got my Rocker 1 shroud yesterday and thought I would share some before and after pics if my 1720T with everyone.

[Rick67]

Looks like it is ready to rock and roll, Mr. Mike  ..

[Buldawg76]

Yep getting ready to go test it out. Been raining here for the last 3 days and its sunny and nice finally here. Got to cure my urges for sure.

Mike, she looks marvelous with her new carbon fiber wrapped shroud! Here is mine with same shroud...sister PRod’s!

Yep I just got done shooting it for awhile, The weather is so nice today. Its sunny with no wind at all and warming up real nice, supposed to be high 60s to low 70s today here. Sure does not feel like Christmas time right now and will be 68 to 70 tomorrow. 

I had to rezero with the new shroud but had expected that might happen but its still one hole accuracy if I do my part. Is a bit quieter than the old setup with screw on LDC. I did go against the suggested baffle orientation that had created so much confusion in this thread. My stack up is in this order starting at the barrel and moving toward the shroud exit. Long spacer, white baffle with small hole against spacer X 4, black diffuser with small hole toward shroud exit, 2 ninja regulator Belleville washer with concave side against the diffuser, shroud end cap. The Belleville washers are used to add just a touch of preload to the baffle stack to prevent any movement during shot pressure pulse. Seems to work very well for my 1720T

When I first got the shroud I had no clue which way the baffles were supposed to be oriented...but it was silent nonetheless! I now have it the way Rocker1 said. But, like he said it doesn’t really matter! Bet your way is just as quiet or more so 🤓. Shot mine today too, very accurate and fun! Going to be raining the next could of days so got my fill of shooting today...👍.

Looks great Randall!!  You did your research and selected the right aftermarket parts to make the Prod look the way it should IMO.  I 'll probably get mine to that level eventually but have to space out the mods over time or I 'll be in the dog house   Right now I am breaking it in, shooting some pests (with great success) and having fun with it.

Harry, thank you so much! I was lucky as my wife said the PRod is my Christmas present so the aftermarket parts were on my dime! The AR stock sure helps with stability and length adjustability! But, I am envious of you and your PRod’s pesting! LOL! Get’em get’em! These are so FUN! Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones Harry! 🎄

Randall,
Nice-looking Prod, it's all decked out too with the best aftermarket parts too.
Who makes the scope are you using on it?  I see its a FFP 5x2, it's a short and sweet looking scope!
Thanks Randy
