That MAP trigger blade is not a perfect match for that particular Boyd’s stock, as it is an odd angle and quite far even if you have a long trigger finger.

Tried mine on a 2260 stock, and it was uncomfortable.

I have an all aluminum housing MAP and stainless steel blade with MAP Super Sear on mine—I specified for a stainless blade when I ordered it.

Works very well on my Boyd’s Barracuda stock though because the orientation of the grip positions your shooting hand closer to the trigger.

I wrapped my trigger blade with multiple O-rings, so it works like a trigger shoe of some sort and is very comfortable.

IMHO, that stock is better off with a setback-type Baker brass trigger blade, although I avoid brass for its easy-to-tarnish-and-scratch qualities.

Well.. if that proves to be the case, I have options....

Either one is better than the plastic that came stock on the gun.

I hate plastic, Mr. Bill

Would like to get another MAP assembly, but they are just too expensive.

The machining, fit, and finish are exemplary though.

Because of its tight tolerances, it can be fine-tuned so that it breaks like a comp trigger—yes, it is that great, no BS.

Yes Sir Mr. Rick..
That plastic was going away regardless.

OK guys...
Here is a short 9 shot string over the chrono with the Jumbo Monsters.

I'll do the shot count with a less expensive pellet...

I didn't hesitate between shots.. just cock and fire, repeat.

I find that quite acceptable.... some power mongers out here may argue...

After I cool down a bit I'll refill the gun and load up some mags with the CPUM 14.3 grainers.
We'll see what we get until it drops off the reg.
Remember, as far as I know... this is a straight out of the box gun... no power tunes... if that is even possible.

60 or 70 regulated and accurate shots per fill would make me a happy boy.
Then I'll buy more mags. I like to match my mags to the number of shots I get per fill.
When the mags run out, it's time to reload and refill. I think I have 3 .22 mags on hand.
This also gives the compressor plenty of cool down between fills. If, in fact, it needs it.

Beautiful stock 😍.

Thanks Matt... she's a bit sexier than she was when you boxed her up....

FuzzyGrub · « **Reply #30 on:** June 28, 2021, 02:49:12 PM »

16FPE is right where it should be. 60 shots should be achievable.

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.

avator · « **Reply #32 on:** June 28, 2021, 02:54:42 PM »

Oh, and just for the record... I do notice the lighter cocking effort than that of the Maxi or MRod.

For close shots that should be great .long distance though would be quite the drop.

bet that gun shoots very well with that grain pellet.

I remember the cocking effort reduction and the trigger was the focus of the gen 2. Glad to hear it is better

avator · « **Reply #36 on:** June 28, 2021, 03:03:25 PM »

Yep.... that should better solve some of the distance shooting...
But then again, like I always say.... if the gun I am shooting is not up to the task at hand, I'll simply go in the house and get one that is.

avator · « **Reply #37 on:** June 28, 2021, 03:05:53 PM »

OK, let's go fill 'er up and get some shot count numbers.... it's gettin' hot out there and I'm gettin' mighty thirsty... remember, I am on vacation.

stay tuned..

Bill, would you say it is as quiet as the Marauder?

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
