Anyone know of the Disco air tube being a fit? How about the Mrod air tube?
thank you,

Not sure of a fit to your question but I know a couple companies sell air tube extensions for the prod.

The Disco air tube is the correct diameter, but the holes are in a different place and/or more are needed.... The PRod breech bolt pattern (at least) is different.... I don't know if they are compatible or not.... The MRod air tube is larger in diameter and likely the holes are in a different place yet again.... AFAIK, there is no compatibility between any of them....

thanks Dave and Bob,
Jim Gaska is looking at an extension. I'm just investigating the possibility. I just saw that I could get 40 shots into the same POI with the stock setup I have now. So maybe more air would just be superfluous.

Shot count and power (FPE) are pretty much interchangeable.... More of one, less of the other....

So to preserve the shot count and the FPE I need to increase the volume of available air if I also want more of the former, and the latter. As i said somewhere, I now have the P-rod at 40 shots with a consistent POI (close in, so far), and 17FPE. So I ask myself: " is it ever enough?" Maybe I should concentrate on the Pneuma.

YUP, if you want more of both, you basically need a bigger reservoir....

Hi Gary,
Yep still dickin around with it. I could sell it as-is, but that would be passing on issues to someone else. Maybe after I can get it to where I feel good about it. I think I'm close. If I follow rsterne's teachings closely, I may have a pcp I can be proud of. If not, I'll probably sell it as-is and rob a bank (other way around) to finance an AA S500. Don't forget I already have a little AA (CZ S200).
