John.... I hate to say it but I think I'm smitten.
I have a feeling this little girl is gonna spend a lot of time sitting right near the back door.
Bill, would you say it is as quiet as the Marauder?

Tommy... It's much quieter than I remember the MRod being.
I am shooting under the covered deck just outside the window where Betty Lou was sitting.. She just came out and asked why she only hears the gun and not the target being hit....
Umm.. Hunny, you got that backwards. What you are hearing is the target being hit.. not the gun.... lol

I filled a mag and sent some lead downrange...
Then went straight to the work bench to make it mine.
First was the plastic trigger.... that needed to go.
That was replaced with an adjustable aluminum trigger.

Bill,
I got the prior Fortitude G2 sold here on GTA
What trigger is your silver color replacement from, I am using the plastic one with a couple coils cut off return spring.
The gold trigger - what is it - On the Baker website the 2260 replacement trigger states it doe not fit on the G2.
Thanks, Robert

Robert.... I must apologize..
I cannot answer your question. See, I bought these 2 Maxi's from another member. They were already modded with these trigger groups put in respectively.
I contacted that member this morning before I began this thread and asked him that exact question. It's been several months since I bought them from him and he does not remember those details. As far as I can see... the blades and the added adjusting screws are the only differences in the 3 groups.
I'm pretty sure someone more familiar with the variations will be along to identify them better.

OK... let me begin by saying... again, I am impressed.
The one thing that impressed me the most is that 70+ shots could have gone into the same dime sized hole. Matter of fact, I had to change my POA every mag because I thought I would blow a hole in the back of my trap.

Numbers...
From 3000psi down to 1600psi where, as far as I can tell, it came off the reg.
I would venture to say that happened at around shot 70.

Have a look at the graph.. I noticed the second mag dropped in velocity. I realized I needed to slow down just a bit and let the reg keep up.

Now that is my.kind of quiet.

Now the numbers....
70 accurate shots in the neighborhood of 16fpe. That should answer the distance questions out to, say 40yds?
Remember Boys and Girls, accuracy is great but, shot placement brings home the bacon...

That is a nice looking graph after that drop

Sure, I have bigger TPs and power adjusters laying around the work bench and I can do all that junk.
But, I ain't gonna... Imma leave it just where it is and shoot it....

avator · « **Reply #49 on:** June 28, 2021, 04:18:12 PM »

I agree... and I could have posted better numbers (stats) had I realized and slowed down from the git go...

The thing is... nobody will rapid fire like that under normal circumstances.

avator · « **Reply #50 on:** June 28, 2021, 04:21:47 PM »

Remove that 7 shots and that would put the entire string within the power factor of 10 and cut the spread virtually in half..

I seem to remember, at some point, the FD-PCP Gen1 was dubbed "boringly accurate". I think this one may qualify.
And this is with run of the mill Walmart purchased Crosman Ultra Mag Domes... unsorted.
Cheap guns shooting cheap pellets.... I'm all over that.

Rick... I didn't even open the group up to verify what trigger it may be... I just dropped and swapped the whole group.
I'll have a closer look next time under the hood.

avator · « **Reply #55 on:** June 28, 2021, 04:33:24 PM »

Just realized... I didn't notice any ping or hollow noise either. Of course, the wood stock would take care of any hollow noise. But no ping like the Mrod had.

Thanks for the trigger info.

avator · « **Reply #57 on:** June 28, 2021, 04:34:49 PM »

Rick... any idea what the gold trigger might be?

avator · « **Reply #58 on:** June 28, 2021, 04:47:24 PM »

I opened it up and snapped a pic...
Is that the Baker kit?
