Can the pistol be left at 3000 psi indefinitely or does it have to be bled if not used in a certain time frame?

Yes, it's actually the best tairgun do with any recharged pneumatic airgun as it keeps the seals fresh.

The amount of pressure held probably doesn't matter but I never use 3000 psi. Unless you have changed the factory settings to use 3000, I think you will find best accuracy and pellet speed at 2600-2800 psi. When not in use I will shoot down and leave 1000-1500 psi as residual charge. I have (2) other Benjamin products and do the same. My original discovery is now 5 years old I store at half pressure and have never had any problems.

I thought that I read that it could, but I keep mine around 2100-2500 to be on the safe side. It's been there for several months and no problems so far.
1877902
Yes...you don't want to bleed off pressure unless unless you are replacing seals or valve parts...BUT, you don't want to leave it cocked.

Generally speaking PCP air guns, including the Benjamin Marauder, are stored under operating pressure indefinitely in order to prevent leakage at the seals, which is said to occur if stored in a depressurized state. I usually keep mine stored around 2500 PSI, no issues.

Nope this pistol is too weak for that although it may scare or injure them. If you want to get rid of them you should use a CO2 powered pistol as it is more stronger and better

I am not sure of your problem, I have had no real problem other than if I am not careful the BB's blow out of it if I do not hang on to the release and let it down slowly.once in the gun, I have had no problems, using it in two different types of crossman pistols

The air at the top of the new cartridge needs to be bled off. I just left my grease gun in a hot place (July sunshine) for a few minutes with the pump end up and loosened about 1 turn.

That spec sounds about right as that's the purpose of its regulator - to reduce that original pressure to a more manageable one, since, a full 3000 PSI would blow out the internals of your gun/marker. In reality, 800-900 PSI is the operating pressure of most "high pressure" guns while that range is reduced even further (around 100-200 PSI) through the use of additional in-line regulators and high volume internals on their low-pressure counterparts. So, essentially, you should be good with this one. Also, since it's rated for 4500 PSI, you'll average even more shots per fill (due to increased energy density). Hope that helps.

It is a non-bleeder. I waited about 5 years to finally get this hvlp system. Five wasted years trying conversion guns for my air compressor that just did not work well. You will not be disappointed with this gun. It lays down polyurethane and other clear finishes sooooo smoothly.

If you don't want to fill up the tank and deal with cleaning it you can just fill your brake reservoir to the top and put the cap from the pump on to pressurize the system. You just have to be careful when doing this to make sure that there is adequate fluid in the reservoir and that you don't drain it down and introduce air into the system when bleeding. It's best to have partner looking at the reservoir when bleeding if you do this in case it does get low. I bled my clutch with this method and had no problems. Might be a stretch to a full brake job since you'd probably have to refill the reservoir after each caliper was bled.

Since this is a high powered air gun the CO2 should last around 60 rounds. I've let it sit for months with the CO2 in with no loss in power. Much cheaper than buying 357 magnum but just as fun, at least at short range.

As long as the pistol is kept in a cool, dry place you can keepthe cartridge in for a few weeks

If you are referring to the Air Pistol I used, it only uses a single cartridge. For Max damage, I usually replace the cartridge after 10 -14 shots. After that the velocity drops dramatically with air pistols. If I am just messing around, 20 -30 is about norm. Though this pellet makes better use of the air when firing, as the pellet sits tighter in the chamber than other types of pellets

30 to 50 PSI-max according to the material you are spraying . and a flow of 8.3 SCFM continuous or 4.3 average .Gun works well . I also purchased that seal maintenance kit

Hello. Question: are you using a drop of pellet gun oil on the puncture end of the CO2 canister? If not, I would recommend doing this. Even using the oil, I empty the CO2 and remove the canister before storing the pistol. Good luck and hope this helps.

My CO2 cylinder has been in the gun for over 3 months, and is still fine. My guess would be that as is it ages, it will last less, due to the seals.It's not a very expensive gun...............we'll see!!

I have a 30 gallon compressor with a water & oil separator between the compressor and gun. I have a old Craftsman compressor that provides 10 CFM @ 40 PSI and 6 CFM @ 90 PSI and the max PSI is 110 for this compressor. The gun runs on 21 PSI at the gun. I do fine with spot repair and panel repair with the compressor I have. I have never attempted to paint an entire auto with it. That would require a larger compressor that will give you continuous CFM at the gun. New compressors however have higher PSI 135 I think. I hope this helps.

The bottle would have to be re-fitted with a new regulator (piece with pressure gage at top) that controls the air pressure coming out of the bottle. It's set up for paintball guns, the air pressure in the bottle when full is 4500psi but the air pressure coming out is only 80psi,what most paintball guns use, so once whatever you're filling reaches 80 psi the bottle can't overcome that pressure and stops filling. The tank set up you need for your PCP air rifle is the same bottle with a regulator on top that allows the air to come out at 3000 psi or close to it. The two I have let the air out to 2900 psi.

No you can not remove the orange tip unless you saw it off and it does not effect the function of the pistol. Only airsoft bb's can be used.

Hi Herbert... If you are asking about once fired then holstered, it will last almost indefinitely... but if the seal on the valve assembly is worn or leaky then perhaps 2-3 weeks. You can see the valve assembly before you place the cartridge in tube, there is a replaceable seal washer, for the stem of cartridge to push against. To help increase the gas seal use a very small amount of Crosman Pelloil on the tip of the cartridge before loading into position and screwing end cap on. This action will increase "at rest" non shooting life of CO2. Happy shooting, I hope that will help.... Regards David (Milton Keynes, UK)
