Has anyone purchased a Benjamin Marauder since November 2014? I got mine the end of November and the air pressure gage has had a slow leak in it ever since I got it. I have called Crosman at least once a month starting in December and get the same answer every time. They know about the problem with the leaking gauges and are looking for a new supplier.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone else know of another supplier where I could get a gauge?
I am able to shoot the gun, it takes a few hours to leak down. Just would like to fix it before it blows out on me. |

Is the gauge a different size than the older m-rod rifle gauges?
The 'old' supplier likely raised the price 2% so they went with a cheapy (I have noted alot of the gauges they have shipped the last couple years have no "Benjamin" or "Crosman" markings on them- just generic off-the-shelf unlabeled stuff). |

| Don't know about the old ones. This is the first Mrod I've had but there are no name brand markings on it. |

I have two of them in guns. They screw into the adapter. I used teflon tape and screwed them in very tight. So far so good, and they are more accurate than the originals. I have heard a few people say they had issues, so buy two just to be safe.
You do not want to over tighten the adapter into the valve block of the gun. It seals with an o-ring and doesn't need to be crushed. |

Thanks Bob. Never even thought of McMasters. Used to order parts & supplies from them all the time when I was working. Machine maint. & repair. I got a parts break down for the gun so I knew about the O-Ring.
Thanks again! |
