It's a shooter, powerful, hand pumpable, all metal and wood, amazing what you get for the price.

Best bargain air rifle ever !!!

I did order a Buck Rail over the shroud suppressor, I will report back on how it works. The OD of the P-rifle shroud is 18mm, one would want about 1mm clearance around the shroud.

I'm glad buck rail finally released that, but I'm quite happy with my Red Corn Outdoors one for the M14x1 threads. Also, glad someone else got 18mm for shroud OD.

Hey man,

Yesterday I sent an email to airgunmods dotcom to ask if they are able to make barrelband for the P-Rifle. I am still waiting on a reply. I may have missed it, but has anyone figured out a barrel band that will fit?
I have found a way to join in on this fun, but. I need to take action to have one of these in my possession. And I might have to soon as there are not many left in stock. I might need a little push over the edge,.,. Anyone willing to assist with some words of encouragement mixed with a healthy dose of airgun enabling. Thankyou.
Yesterday after going through my Airguns I found 2 that I am willing to part with. I need room before I can add more to what I have.

I have one scheduled for delivery Tuesday for testing, designed for the P-Rifle from measurements. But... the gun is accurate, beautiful, and great without barrel band. Joining the P-Rifle club won't disappoint, it's only "negative" is their weird choice of threads. Even better was them telling me it's 12.5x1 instead of the 14x1 it actually is. But there are options out there for moderating already to tame the bark.

Hey thank you Guys,

Airgunmods dotcom replied saying they should be able to make a barrelband that would work.
I gave him the measurements given above by Mithli. It would be great if a member can measure and get the gap measurement correct as I entered 4-5mm for the shroud-airtube gap. There is still time to give him any corrections for the measurements.
Soon I'll be joining in on this P-Rifle fun.

Glad to have you on board, NVak!

Yeah, that thing looks like it needs a barrel band badly.

I call mine "the barrel bandit" [chuckling]

A 1.5 mm allen wrench fits snug between barrel and shroud. 1mm is loose and 2mm will not fit. Hope this helps.

Nukall856 · « **Reply #169 on:** April 08, 2025, 04:33:03 PM »

rkrr20307,

Thank you I have sent an update with that information along with the overall height being 54-55mm top of barrel to bottom of the airtube.

In other local news.. the other day I offered two buddies to pickup two airguns from me. They both took their time so I had my Son call his buddy to come get the two air rifles and 4 package included scopes. I instructed him on how to properly install the scope and the basic operation of the two beemans. Good now that those two are out of the way,,.. I hit that order button this morning.
Ok airgunmods dotcom will in soon time after settling on the dimensions be sending me a sleeve sample to see if it fits using the numbers I had provided thanks to GTA members for the measurements. A sleeve before a band is to be produced.

With all these different bands, we might as well share pics! Playin in a band band here! [chuckling]

Nukall856 · « **Reply #171 on:** April 08, 2025, 10:06:50 PM »

Ok GTA,, today AGM has printed and shipped a test sleeve to see if we have the measurements right. If all goes well at a later time we may have a 3.5-4" 3D Printed barrelband.
I have A lot of heavy .22 pellets 16-21gr that I'm sure would work very good in the P-Rifle. I also have HNHP Slugs in .218 at 21gr. ALREADY sounds fun knowing there is +/- 28-30FPE at the muzzle and alot of shots per fill ...
I just might look into a 4Stage hand pump to aid the 3 stage Hand pump I have. A low costing $170 tiny compressor might be worth looking into at a later time.
Excellent work Everyone

Got the barrel band from RCO yesterday. I had to do some light sanding to get a snug, not vice grip, fit from the barrel band. Then I realized that barrel was slightly tilted upward to the band. Removal of the band discovered that it has a slight rise even without, but less "drastically." With band it was going from about 2.5mm (height of USB-C plug) to about 4.5mm at end. Without band, rise is to about 3-3.5mm. He sent me a version without pic rails, since I wasn't overly excited about it personally.

I will feed back the measurements from above to him also. Picture for your enjoyment.

Just verifying, did you mean between barrel and shroud, or between shroud and air tube? Because shroud to air tube seems tighter than what I was seeing with my very "scientific" usb-c plug discovery.

That one is playin in the band! Thanks for the pic!

I realized that I was dumb, and I got my digital calipers and associated gauge out and got proper measurements on the P-Rifle.
Barrel Shroud: 18.10mm
Air Tube: 32.28mm
Gap: 2.01mm by caliper, 1.96mm by gauge segments
Top of shroud to bottom of air tube*: 52.75mm

Mithli,
Thankyou for the information I have past it on to airgunmods for an update on the dimensions.
With the LDC being not 1/2x20 UNF, where am I to get an LDC that fits the odd threading? Is it 12.5 x 1 or what I've read a couple different thread pitches just know that it is not 1/2x20.
I am still waiting for my P-Rifle to be delivered. Once received I will begin on over sharing on the details, specifications and performance.

Buckrsil might have one.

My barrel band is standing strong holding the barrel with no shroud and a standard thread moderator. Haven't taken it on a hunt yet so not torture tested in real conditions.

Here's a pic from billy g on his shroud work before bluing. For some reason I haven't figured out he can't post pics.

The way I did it when I had the custom BB made for Betty Lou's Maximus with the Fortitude shroud and the GMAC repeater breech was to measure from the top of the shroud to the bottom of the air tube. Add the diameter of the tube and shroud together and subtract that number from the overall. I sent measurements of the tube, the shroud and the overall to the 3D guy and that's all he needed..... 3 numbers.
He did a snug fit on the tube with grubs clocked at 4 and 8 and gave me a 1mm free float space around the shroud. My goal was to protect the shroud from bumps and bangs during every day use.
If you look at the Marauder, for example, you will see the the BB is not tight on the shroud. It's not uncommon.
Now if you prefer a tight fit, you can always stuff a thin o-ring in the space.

Thank you to our advertisers!
