Will it work? Always wanted a really accurate 177 P-ROD!

All suggestions are welcomed...

TIA

Contact Jim Gaska of wicked airguns and ask it he has a Marmot Militia Prod barrel in a .177. I put one of his .22 barrels on my Prod and the improvement was amazing!

Hey Pluric

Thanks for chiming in with your suggestion but the P-Rods never came in 177 so even if I were to get a Marmot Militia barrel in 177, I won't have a 177 P-Rod specific magazine and pellet pusher/probe to go with it so it would have to be single shot that will defeat the purpose of this fun project. The P-Rods and Marauder rifles take different magazines.

I have to agree, I have Lothar Walther barrels on most of my 22 P-Rods as well as some of my Marauders.

NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE!

I'm wondering if a Nova Freedom .177 or Hatsan .177 mag would work? Even then the cost of a custom .177 barrel may not be worth it. Plus a custom probe. $Cha ching, cha ching. Maybe you should sniff around for an FX Ranchero. ?

I like to bling Crosman guns. Its part of the fun. I have the Crosman 1701P and 1720T which are so accurate its kind of unbelievable and thought it would be fun if they were multi shot. I had contacted B&M who manufacturers multi shot breeches ready to drop into other Crosman and Benjamin guns but no plans for these models so I was hoping that the Fortitude breech would bolt onto them if anyone knew if they were compatible. The P-Rod 22 magazines are smaller and only hold 8 rounds while the Marauder and Nova and Gauntlet (which are supposed to use the same  Benjamin Marauder magazine) are 10 rounds. I have read a suggestion about someone who could do it who does Marauder and P-Rod customization and tunes  but also heard he was untrustworthy and an old BOI search confirmed it.
