Is there a PAM111 V5?

If there was what would need to be changed on the v4 to make it that much better?

Well that's not a V5. That's a Marlin. Marlin just builds upon the current version so even that is a moving target, meaning the 13 mods may or may not be the same once a V5 is released. Oh, and to answer RB-Fan's question, there is no V5.

So in essence, a v4 is still not quite there unless modded which can run into £££

Well not sure how much is £££ because value is relative. Some would think the asking price is too high, others would gladly pay the amount to get the 1:1 treatment. "Still not quite there" while mostly true, is indicative of being unaware of what has come before. A few years ago, you had to spend the cost of a Marlin/BK build to get a PAM111 that would barely match the current V4 out of the box, no mods required. So actually the price of the current ultimate PAM111 isn't far removed from what was considered year after year, the best. But what you get for that price, the bar is being raised continuously. However, I think we have reached the point of diminishing returns, which means at the current price point of the PAM111 reps, any additional investment to mod to increase the replication gets smaller and smaller returns.

Not even modded. I had a 177 p series noob from marlin when I bought the gen, in hand it will not fool a wristi.

Marlin in is very good but was still not exactly like gen.

It is after all based on Chinese parts. I can’t decry he was a genius and miles better than stock
