I like it!....Looks like it could be a really nice pack gun...not too crazy about the angular front of that fore stock,but that can be reshaped...  It would be ideal especially with the Crosman carbine stock,that from what I hear will come with the pistol...and of course it's stupid quiet.
Only thing is for a little more coin you could have a Talon SS...another great choice for the pack.Although I've heard that the SS takes a considerable amount of time to dial in,and the power settings can be inconsistent?Also I take it there have been some reliability issues with the SS?I'm kind of leaning towards the M-rod...but it's going to be a while before I make a decision on that.....I love my 2300KT with a carbine stock, however it doesn't have quite the juice I'm looking for in some instances...... 
Of course I have thought of converting the KT to HPA,but I decided to keep it basically stock...as for what it does it does very well.

| I had a TalonSS, I experienced NONE of the negatives that you mentioned.It was almost perfect right out of the box...just had to put a scope on it and get it zero'ed in..Of all the guns I've had and sold, I miss it the most......don't know what I was thinking, but I sure wish I had it back!!! |

| If you are looking at it as a pack gun, then the magazine has to weigh heavily in favor of the Marauder. |

That's right...I remember you saying you had one a while back.Again,I'm only going on what I've read on some other forums,as I have zero experience with AirForce rigs.For the most part I see people like them...I guess just as with other products,lemons exist.The gun appeals to me because of the breakdown capability,but so does the M-rod pistol with a carbine stock...and the quietness factor....
Would you say that the SS is quieter with the power wheel cranked,than say a stock 2240 etc....just curious. |

Absolutely...that is a big factor there,can't beat quick follow up shots if needed. |

I'd say the 2240 is louder...if you put GTBJ shroud on a TSS it gets so quiet you wonder if you've run out of air  |

| In the youtube it looks like the stock is a permanent attachment. So I ask what is the difference in a rifle and a pistol with a stock? |

The pistol comes with the optional carbine stock,that you can take off,and replace with grips.Its not permanently fixed.Same grip frame as a 2240 pistol,though the trigger supposedly is a two stage adjustable unit...... 
In addition to the stock,it also comes with a Centerpoint optics red dot...
Not a bad little package from what I can see so far... |

| You know, as much as I like the optional stock for the 2240 pistols, it would be even better if it was no tools quick detachable. A folding option would be a winner too. |

It is if you purchase the lock pin and spring from a 2289.... no screws required....
