Ron Sauls is one of the most experienced airgun repair and tuners in the business. He has been messing with airguns for over 35 years. And now, with Jim Giles of The Crooked Barn, they have put together Airgun Hobby Magazine. This is a quarterly publication devoted to the best hobby in the world...stamp collecting. HA!!!

Ron and Jim have developed two new products. The BOSS valve and a repeating breech for the 22XX guns. I have not received my breech yet but it is on the way.

The BOSS Repeater breech has an in-line tubular magazine that holds 25 Crosman round nose pellets. Other pellets and pellet lengths my be used. Each hex. alum breech is dovetailed for a scope and is milled to allow use of the standard Crosman rear sight. The BOSS repeater breech is available with the bolt and magazine on the left side, LH model, or with the bolt and magazine on the right side, RH model. The BOSS Repeater breech consist of; breech, loading slide, magazine, magazine end plug, pellet stop, barrel/magazine support, and mounting screws. Remove the magazine end plug, insert pellets, skirt first, in the magazine, replace the plug. Open the bolt, push the loading slide to the loading position. The barrel should be tilted slightly up. The pellet stop holds the second pellet in the magazine allowing the rear pellet to drop into the loading slide. return the slide to the firing position, close the bolt. Aim and fire.

The B&A 'Boss" Valve System is CNC made to precision standards and provides the shooter with maximum CO2 flow. This translates into increased velocity for more effective target practice, hunting or plinking.

(ABOVE) The "Boss" Max-Flow Bulk Fill valve is shown as a cut-away in the air tube. Below the cut-away valve is the complete Max-Flow valve. The Max-Flow valve features Maximum CO2 flow to the projectile, an enlarged valve area to hold CO2, a .060" increase in valve stem movement to improve CO2 flow and an angled transfer port. A 2240 with a 14" barrel using the "Boss" valve can shoot a 14.3 grain .22 caliber pellet at over 600 fps.	A cut-away view of the complete "Boss" Max-Flow valve showing the valve stem and spring.	(ABOVE) From top to bottom are the B&A "Boss" 12-gram CO2 valve, the Max-Flow Bulk Fill valve, a cut-away of the Max-Flow valve and a cut-away of the Economy Bulk Fill valve. To the right is the fill cap.

	The "Boss" 12-gram (above) CO2 valve is shown in the air tube with a CO2 cartridge. The enlarged valve area and angled transfer port greatly improve CO2 flow, thereby increasing velocity. Our test gun shot 14.3 grain pellets at around 590 fps. We got about 17 full power shots per cartridge.
		The B&A "Boss" valve can be installed in the 2240, 2250 and 2260 air tubes. The longer air tubes will provide more shots per fill with the Bulk Fill valves
