We got used to it. Not so bad. We put the pellet in on one side of the scope while looking from the other side. No disrespect intended towards the repeater project, I am totally impressed by the work done here. But, putting pellets in one at a time kind of adds enjoyment to our shooting. We chat between shots. You know, high fives n junk. And it slows the process a bit. I would much rather be putting a pellet in than refilling the gun with air every 5 minutes. On the other hand, if I used this as a full time hunter, the repeater option may be a must have.

I shoot alone most of the time, but it's no big deal to load one at a time. With CO2 you need that delay to allow the pressure to come back up anyway. I like a repeater for a change in pace. Yeah, I don't see any advantage to making this gun a PCP in my book. CO2 carts are cheap and easy to find. I am a very casual shooter and am not on a tear to fire x amount of pellets over the summer. My goal is to get my fun shooting range set up as soon as the ground dries enough out back. It's turning into a swamp right now.

I'm with Yarp. Bench rested, my 79 was ok, but in hand it was easy for me to fumble pellets.

Before I knew about the MRod mags, I got to looking at my non-lethal "deterrent" Spyder experiment, and got the idea to cut a receiver to load pellets from my "weak" side. Before I finished it, the beginnings of the repeater came about. I got a mag, then another receiver... then my 60 came along.

I'll finish the side loader some day... maybe.

The Spyder is filled with 50 hard rubber balls the cops use for crowd control...lol. It'll put a world of hurt on you, without drawing blood. Shreds a cardboard box... saw pics of a test subject with deep bruising (Yellow with purple dots...lol.), decided against testing it on myself (meow).

Larry Johnson: I could have sworn you said meow.
Foster: Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?
Foster: Am I drinking milk from a saucer?
Foster: Do you see me eating mice?
Foster: You stop laughing right meow!
Larry Johnson: Yes sir.
Foster: Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law.

LOL I forgot to order some prod mags, better do it soon

I have a couple MRod mags awaiting!

I hope I'm not the bearer of bad news but if you ordered the Bobcat I believe it will take the Prod mags.

You aren't. I did not order the Bocat.

Mail man dropped off the Bobcat repeater mod parts from stalwart this AM!

Nice looking job Eric, thanks. are the 2 o rings on the bolt ,spares for the barrel end? In cocking,the bolt/mag, and entry to breech is a very smooth operation.

Now I have to remember how to assemble it.

Going to put it together and tune it, then clean up the breech paint and repaint it.

I have a new valve from Mike ready, as I screwed up the original modding the exhaust port. I didn't mess up the 2nd one.

I'd like to figure a scheme to be able to fill bulk co2 also, have dual fuel capability. I made up a new tube end plug in brass, going to use a foster fill valve w/check valve in it, gauge, and burst disk on the very end.

Again Nice work Eric, thanks so much

Phazer? Hmmmm, hadn't thought of that...lol. I'm currently trying to come up with a trigger that can be used in all configs, including bullpup, pistol, and carbine. I really like Crosman's modular design, and want something along those lines, but really stout.

Having a good day here, the UPS guy brought everything I need to get serious.

(2) .25 MRod barrels. If anyone wonders what happened to the very first FD PCP that came in... it got hit by "mission creep". I'm twinning my .25 3K camp gun project, we're both going for 8 hard punches... as hard as we can get. I'm dubbing this design "Wolverine"... I'm from MI, and always respected them. They don't look for trouble, but if you mess with them, they'll mess you up. Even bears know that no one really "wins" a fight with them.

Shhhhhh... your secret is safe with me. This is a PM, right...?

Oops...

...there are 3 customers on this page...

Guys, it looks like these can be made to shoot some much larger stuff. With the 3K tube style, not only can we get more striker stroke, but the design basically allows us to decide where we want the valve and port. Move the mag or tray forward, and the valve follows... so, we can fit any weight striker we want. It boils down to: If you extend the bolt nose up to 2", you can extend the striker up to 2". The stock length receiver will take it, and we will never need the kind of weight that we'd have room for. 2" of 3/4" steel carries a lot of momentum.

Well, Lloyd converts the .25 cal MRod mags to a 7 shot .30 cal, and I designed a 70 gr. boattail bullet to fit the mag.... *grin*..

It shouldn't be too much of a trick to increase the ports to 7/32", and at 3000 psi over 100 FPE should be a piece of cake....

The fun never ends! I can't believe how far this post has come from the original post. Sure makes me wish I could get my meat hooks on one of these rifles to see what the fuss is all about.

Thanks for sharing this with us, especially those of us who are mostly limited to vicarious explorations in this area.

Bob, it's gonna happen. I have some guns to get out, then I'll treat myself to something svelte, stout, and nasty.

Paul, you are certainly welcome... and, thanks for the encouragement. The fact is, I get a great deal of fun out of this entire process.

I found another solution to fumbly pellets: Bigger pellets! LOL... I'm kinda isolated here, AG wise, and just got to handle .25s for the first time... barracudas. HUGE! I just don't get why they don't make .177s this big?? I'd buy them!

Oh wait...
