P-Rifle on the way

[rkrr20307@comcast.net]

THAMMER makes the adapter to put 1/2 x 20 mod on the P-RIFLE and P-FORCE. I do not have the P-PUP yet so not sure what size it is.

Accuracy is fine with the ftts.  Barrel seems secure.  Just saw a video by Nibbs, who also took the shroud off his and put on a moderator.

Ordered an adapter, waiting on it to arrive so I can play. Also have 2 moderators on the way, one threaded M14x1, the other 1/2x20UNF to put on the adapter. Unfortunately first I need to troubleshoot the fill adapter. Maybe ID10T error, but couldn't get it to fit in my compressor hose. It was just a hair too thick, but that's a tomorrow problem.

Wondering where you found a M14x1 threaded moderator

Buckrail might have some.

My P-Rifle is very quiet with a standar x20 thread rocker1 and no shroud.  The barrel is secure (threaded on) and the rifle is accurate with ftts.  The shroud has little potential for noise reduction to begin with.  There is not much space as the shroud is not much greater in diameter than the barrel OD.  The shroud also has lots of holes in it for air release, which will bring noise with it.

In sum, if you are on a budget you will be fine with a standard thread moderator and no shroud if your rifle is like mine (or Nibb's on youtube, who is running his the same way described here just a different moderator).

The trigger on mine is very light, two stage, and usable.  There is a tiny bit if sideways slop, very little, but when it slops to the right, the trigger acts as if the safety is on. When this happens, I pull slightly left on the trigger and get around this.

While I feel no inclination to adjust the first or second stage setup (so nice to have a great trigger out the box), I might mess with that safety slop phenomenon. Could get in the way of a shot in hunting situations when stalking and you just get one quick shot chance.

The manufacturer's claims are off in unusual ways, which is kinda funny. 

The gun is more powerful than advertised.

The gun gets less good shots than advertised.

When the reg is on and balanced enough with the hammer force, the spread is wihtin 10 fps.

Like a marauder style gun, it's easy for me to single load the pellets without a shot tray.

I have mostly been single loading.  The side lever comes unscrewed now and then. Might locktite that.  The cocking is very nice and smooth otherwise.

I used the mag twice.  It loads one pellet at a time, which I like (no spinny topto hold still).  It jams a few times each mag but doesn't need to be removed to get the pellet in.  Just try again.  Have not gotten a double feed... the jam is somehow before the pellet goes in. I am not a fan of the mags at this juncture, maybe they will break in.

Redcorn Outdoors, let you know how it fits when I get it in.

I had the same safety problem you describe with my Bullpup and took a small flat file to the nub the safety slides across, opening the gap a little more, problem solved. Safety still works fine but does not catch when the rifle is off safety. Might work for you...

OK, that lead me to an ebay store and an Etsy store but didn't see any.

[Papa T]

He does have an ebay store, they are not on there. He commented about it on Nibs' 2nd pinty video and I contacted him. They are currently out for delivery, so should be able to test the M14 for fit today. Until then, I guess it's time to troubleshoot the fill adapter.

Gotcha

That makes sense! Thanks, Steve.

 Well my P-Rifle was out for delivery today until it wasn't, and just landed in Chicago LOL

[Back_Roads]

I tossed a Coin between the "space Gun" and the Carbine, The Tactical won, but still like the Classic carbine, may add that to my collection yet also

Man of my word, letting it warm up while I stuff some groceries in my neck, then off to the Basement Range, May even do some video
LOL

[Back_Roads]

 Took it out of the box, was going to do a funny unboxing video, but wasn't feeling it. besides I was out of stage blood
Aired it up to 3000 psi because I have no clue what is between the 3 numbers on the gage LOL    Loaded a mag with Norma 17.6 took a few test shots, then tossed a compact 3-9x42 REX scope on it, nice fit not to bad of a scope for a duplex. few clicks this way and thet way and zero was close enough to get to accuracy, and trigger pull weight and feel. all exceptional for a sub 250 USD regulated air rifle. I shot it till I mau have dropped off the regulator, then topped ot to 3400 as that is where my bottle is at now. took a few more shots, and letting it sit a bit for next round. It is quiet for the power it has, 885 fps with the 17.6

Glad to hear So far So Good !

Haven't aired mine up yet, awaiting some scope rings

As  far as the noise db, compared to a 22LR or short ?

Mine is still begging to be shot, hopefully tomorrow before I head to overnight obligations. Did get the pinty 4-16 3in1 scope combo I got with the gun installed on it. I'm not sure the reflex and laser will stay... not even 100% that this scope will long term. But no pressure drop after 4 days. I'll take that easy win.

LOL I actually came up with a sound comparison it is as loud as a Sheridan Blue Streak at 8 pumps.
