Nice, thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to come up with some new video ideas to feature this gun in.

Thanks! I really like the low powered scope for the ranges I intend to use the gun for.

I don’t have any plans to modify the internals. Right now it works well as is and I’m having fun shooting it.

Ha ha! The Gravmag works well for certain things and not so well for others. I don’t mind pumping, it’s good exercise. What I’ve found since creating this channel is a new found appreciation for pneumatics. I shot my Hatsan 95 the other day and was taken aback by how unrefined it felt to shoot with all the vibration and recoil.

That’s a neat idea 👍

@@joemorton9217 Do you have a Crosman steel receiver on yours or the original receiver?

@@airgunsofalaska I haven’t ordered it yet but I was gonna order the steel breech

@@joemorton9217 That’ll make for a nice set up. I don’t care for any of the scope mounts that clamp on the barrel like is required with the plastic breech. They aren’t very solid and your concern about pumping is valid. The steel breech is very secure but I’d still lean towards using a smaller scope. The Drifter is light and handy and it seems like a lot of guys ruin that feel by over scoping the gun.

Haha! That’s funny. 😆

Those do make for fast shooting guns but CO2 doesn’t work well in my temps.

Thanks! It’s fun to shoot. 👍

I ordered it directly from their website in the UK. It didn’t take very long to arrive.

I like it much better now than when I first got it. It’s simple to use, in my one video with my 362 I over complicated things and didn’t have my breech screw at a high enough elevation to allow of smooth feeding. Gravmag provides washers set the breech screw slightly higher. I actually like the Gravmag set up better than my Marauder magazines. Those are more time consuming to load. Overall my Gravmag is feeding pretty smoothly probably 80-90% of the time depending on what pellet I’m shooting. I’ve still had the occasional pellet slightly catch on the breech screw hole when sliding the bolt forward. It doesn’t happen all that often and I’ve not put a drop of wax on top of the breech screw head. The one issue I had this weekend was repeatedly getting Meisterkulgen pellets jammed up when loading. If I didn’t pay attention while loading with gloves, the pellet could shift sideways in the loading tube and become stuck. I had to pry out a pellet with a dental pick on two separate occasions. Overall the Gravmag works quite well with round nose pellets but it’s not perfect. Of course, neither is the Crosman Marauder magazine.

Thanks for the detailed response Alaska. That was exactly what I needed to hear before I bought two for my Crosman guns. Johnny hates jams and bent up pellets causing flyers indoors. Have you compared accuracy with the mag vs single?

@@johnnybbgunner2136 you may not like the Gravmag as I’ve had bent pellets and flyers using it. But, that was more with my 362 while I was getting used to it and didn’t have the breech screw high enough. It’s working a lot better on the Drifter but it’s the exact same set up as my 362 with Crosman steel breech and Torx head breech screw. A guy would have to add wax or something else to make the feeding as smooth as possible. While I’ve not tested it specifically with accuracy, I know that it has caused flyers from some pellets catching on the breech and getting nicked or slightly malformed when feeding. You can feel the resistance with your hand when working the bolt. When I was troubleshooting my 362 accuracy issues and took the Gravmag off to eliminate one variable. You’ll definitely get the greatest accuracy by loading one at a time manually. This is starting to give me an idea for another video. 🤔😀

@@airgunsofalaska I shoot indoors mostly and do not have much room for error at times. Thanks again.

@@johnnybbgunner2136 I can understand that! For indoor target shooting with a small backstop area I wouldn’t recommend it. But I like to plink and shoot cans outside so it has been working well for that.

I found the rear sight on eBay from a seller called caboosecustomsco. It was a little higher priced that I thought it should be but still a good piece as the other options can be considerably more expensive. I had a bit of a learning curve with the Gravmag last fall but I’ve got it figured out now. I especially like it for cold weather as I’ve found handling pellets in gloves is awkward.

@@airgunsofalaska Do you know a good front sight that would still be allowed to use for a 1/20 silencer? Oh can’t find it can you pls link it to me? He don’t have that option separately.

@@pricelessppp here’s a link to the eBay rear sight. www.ebay.com/itm/234650367932?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TD_Rx3PwSHq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-BT68jhwRJy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I looked up the silencer and it appears the Buck Rail company is using a holographic or red dot sight. I’m guessing that’s because the silencer doesn’t have a means to attach a front sight? I initially tried a cheap Crosman red dot sight I had and I couldn’t see it outside with the brightness of the snow. It was more of a toy than a good quality one. But, I liked the Jeff Cooper idea of using a low powered, extended eye relief scope. No batteries, so far the scope hasn’t fogged on my in cold weather and I have back up iron sights. My yard is pretty big so I don’t have a need for a silencer. They are nice though. I like how quiet my Marauder is.

@@airgunsofalaskaOh what exact scope are you using also?

@@airgunsofalaskaOh the guy who made the grav mag made iron sights for the 22xx and Crosman guns!

I ordered it directly from Grav-Mag off their website. Shipping was fast and reasonable all the way from the UK. But be forewarned, the mag can be finicky at times. It’s sensitive to the manner in which it is loaded and what pellets are used. I’ve had it get jammed up many times because the pellets got cockeyed within the tube. Overall it’s not super expensive and works decently 70% of the time.

I ordered it directly off GravMag’s website in the UK. It arrived a lot faster than I expected. The Royal Mail was quick.

Yes! I just finished chipping away all the ice from the asphalt apron I front of my house yesterday and dug out my picnic table. Funny you commented as I was just thinking this morning that’d it be fun to do some shooting. 😀

@@airgunsofalaska greetings from a snow free netherlands 👍😉🇳🇱

@@Relaxbadkneeadventures that’s pretty unusual I’d think? Our snow is melting pretty quickly now. It’s so nice outside presently, sunny, warm AND no bugs!

@@airgunsofalaska we almost have never real snow here .maybe ones in a few years.cold yes becaurse we go straight away on ice if we can we are loving iceskaating here. Greetings

It is neither, it has a fine reticle. For the quick, pop up plinking I like to do with it, it has been working well.

@@airgunsofalaska Nice! Would you also recommend a CVlife or AIMSports 4x32 scope also? Thinking of trying a laser sight also got a bottom rail on my 2240.

@@pricelessppp I’m not familiar with either one but I looked them up and they appear to cost a similar amount to the scope I got. The AMsport 4x32 looks like it doesn’t have an extended eye relief. I see it listed at 3” while the scope I use has 8-1/2” of eye relief. If you want something for snap shooting then you’ll want extended eye relief. I’m not sure what the other scope you mentioned offers?

@@airgunsofalaska Is the dead ringer precise? I have a nice red dot sight from last year but I’d like to try a scope like this I got a 3x9 Simmons scope for my avenger but that’s cartoonish big on my 2240 lol.

@@pricelessppp so far it’s been working good for me. It only has 2.5 magnification so it’s not a target shooting scope at longer ranges. A red dot would fulfill the same function for snap shooting but I didn’t want to deal with a battery and I wanted to try out Jeff Cooper’s scout rifle concept. I like the scope as you can shoot with both eyes open with practice.

That what I’d have thought. I remember researching it last winter but I can’t recall if cold produce more or less power. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll have to do some searching on that again as I’m into the cold winter weather.
