Im not sure but the Marauder seems to be on the loud side.
It also seems to get louder when I drop below 1800 psi,is that normal.
Also some shots are not as loud as others???
Check the pic

The hole there I have pointed to,is that where the air comes out when you fire?
What is the allen adjust there for as well?

there is no air that comes out there, at all.
i think it's the set screw for the bolt. mine
always makes the same sound...... nothing....
i'm dry firing it as i sit here and clapping my hands
is louder.

all it makes is a "ping".

if you were 15 feet down range and someone shot it past you
you wouldn't here a thing.(my wife and i did this).

take off the barrel cap and see what the baffles look like.

there are 4.

there will be an o-ring from the cap to the outer baffle.

try to tighten it??? Shocked

i've never touched mine.

2500 rounds and no problems.

I figured it out,when I brought the bold back I was not twisting it down.
It was up and this air came through the side.
When the bolt is brought down it covers the hole.
I just dry fired it with the bold when I should be and its quit and no air comes out.

^^^LMFAO!!!

On the plus side I almost sighted it in before dark.
Should have it 100% by noon Sat.

One more very stupid question.
I can dry fire it all I want without doing damage to it right??

that's why they're called "bolt" action son. Rolling Eyes

dry firing will never hurt a pcp.

you're just discharging air without lead.

yes, as much as you want.

let us know what pellets yours likes. 5 in one hole at 25 yeards rested
should be no problem. i can hit spent 12ga shells at 60 yards with mine. Cool

Thanks man.
I got one last question for you in your PM`s
Something you might be interested in Cool

Actually, no, dry firing isn't THAT good for a PCP, especially with high power PCP's. I'm not exactly sure why, but I am sure that I have read a couple of years ago from two or three explanations as to why this can't be good. Neutral

huh. half truth then. the book on the mrod says you can do this
as a degassing method. Idea

That sounds like a hell of an experiment. Try discharging a shotgun shell by striking the firing cap. Shocked

Have you seen the silencer mod? Not sure if he's on here but the guy goes by the name of RBolton6 over on another forum (http://marauderairrifle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=305) I gave it a try, it was an easy install but I'm not sure if it made any difference, still evaluating it. Cool tip though.
