If you was feeshin he'd be a Lunker!
It is a PCP. uses a 10 shot clip, Benjamin air tank, not CO2. Interesting that the Marauder holds pressure forever.
Cheers
I own a couple of PCP's Once I bought a compressor it was hard to stop buying them. I have the Marauders cousin, the Armada. That was my first PCP, amazing airguns. My last was an FX in 30 cal.
Jay, that is a "wow" ..somebody with that much knowledge doing a mousetrap..I'm sure my country mice would chew the wires off first...thanks for sharing
Love the Marauder, comes with a good scope. My only gripe is cannot use it w/o the scope - clip is in the way - clumsy to load single shot. And never found front/rear sights; lemme know if you've seen any.

Have you heard of sulfur candles? You could use one in the shed you store your cubs in.
My uncle has been recommending them for a mice problem I have in a storage unit. I just saw that Amazon has some. Maybe a co-op would also carry them.

Sulpher candles are good to repel all kinds of critters...... Doesn't kill them, just runs them off.
One word of caution. Sulpher candles will damage mirrors. It will react with, I believe the silver, in the reflective surface and make the mirror have a milky appearance.

Easy mice deterrent is camphor balls, they no like. My Elec-Trak had closed-in partitions, heavily wired and made for mice hidey-holes where they chew-off the insulation.
The Cub 102 is much more open and think this method works:
With the hood down the size of the Spam tin, zip-tied to battery (we all love Spam, right?) holds lotsa camphor balls for lotsa smell. Wanted to protect the critical wiring behind battery and below dash, more important to me than mouse deterrent at/around the engine. We shall see.
Back in '90 mice got under the hood of my Pathfinder. Since then we use the 'Spam tin system' in our two cars - never a repeat mice visit.

Can you touch the stuff that may be in the room or storage building after the sulfur candle has ended?
And does it smell like rotten eggs.?

The Guy said that that 147 still ran, I never checked, but is that connecting rod still connected?
Red,I wouldn't trust that guys word too much. The rod is still connected,beat up badly,there are about 15 pieces of gears in the bottom .Engine is trashed inside..

I kinda thought that's what happened to it. Its funny, I only sold it because I didn't have an engine for it, Today a guys trading a set of rear wheels I have for a running 10 horse.
We probably see 2 to 3 cubs a year in the dealership with destroyed engines because of mice. I pay to have traps at my home. He changes the food every couple of months so they don't get to know what it is and avoid it. Well worth every penny in my book.
Maybe youse guys are sick of hearing about mice but please allow me this phobia.
Let me add do not cover a CC with a tarp that goes to ground - moisture will build up. My CC is in a 10X12 shed; I keep the camphor smell in by covering the hood with old towels that drape down both sides of the engine compartment. We have mice and field rats, over the years I keep talk radio on and the doors open - no entry by critters.
Cheers
