Huben GK1 - 'Feather' carbon fiber air tube - where do I get more such carbon fiber tubes?

you are correct, the carbon fiber tanks are aluminum inside and carbon fiber outside for strength.. it's why they have a end of life date.. unlike steel and aluminum bottles that can be hydro tested once the carbon fiber is a certain age it's done..
I'd be looking for vinyl (or something like that) wrap with a CF look. Or perhaps there's CF tape? The hard part will be to find the weave with your desired pattern. CF fabric manufacturers? Then there's the issue of cleanly adhering to the tube with a nice or hidden seam.
Good luck in your search.

ORION S25 thermal scope
Hi there .
Short version.
Has anyone yet risked buyimg the new ORION S25 or S2 as its kown also. ??.
Firstly I'll say iv not that much experience with my owning my own thermal.scopes.
A couple of weeks ago I was gifted the orion s25 thermal.
It's a first for a big name in industrial thermal products and monoculars based in China which when looking for my first one iv got to.say put me off . Im very glad a family member wasn't after some research and advice from those in the know.
Iv used many thermals over the years and can't say I understand them as well as the IR scopes due to living in the uk and the strict rules we have here snd lack of good game.
Hunting at night is mostly outlawed, lately with a huge amout of boar turning up , lol
and other not so big predators that have not been manged around farmland especially in Scotland where you need a licence for spring loaded air rifle nowdays, its turning onto.a meat fest at lambing season for these larger pests .
Has anyone else had the opportunity to check this orion s25 thermal out .?
If you have Can you please give me your honest views for my own learning experience and to know what I should be expecting or not from what I'm presuming is an entry level thermal scope.
Iv got to say if you gave me a 25mm $5000+ big brand scope and this orion s25 I would not be able to.tell the difference other than the weight of it , its built well .
As thermals ar used much more on your side of the pond I'd like to hear what you think of this product at what I think would be around the $2000? or less mark as an introductory offer by the manufacturer $700 half price ?. There was an offer on indigogo if still up that will have its basic details.
There's hardly anything yet on utube but if anyone wanted any info thats just not yet been put out there yet ,please get in touch as iv contacted them and been sent more information than I understand. I'm happy to.pass on if it help me learning what im missing or not with this product.
Thanks Darren.

N/A My biggest aggravation in PCP guns ..so far..

Get a barra 250z…. I roam the hills of SW Utah with it constantly. It even rides shotgun in the car with me sometimes even though it’s not a truck gun. It’s powerful, crazy accurate and it looks cool…. I bump it almost every day and no POI changes.Bumping the barrel /shroud and having impact changes....
My first PCP was a simple Marauder. I noticed no issues with POI changes when handled. I bought a Diana storm rider for fun just to shot invasive birds close to the house. I noticed it would shoot a few inches left or right at 50 yards for no apparent reason. I finally realized if I bumped the barrel, it would go wacky. I got the band to attach to the tube and barrel. It was worse since it would bind and lock the barrel in whatever position it was bumped. Now realize. I am NOT taking a hammer to it. just leaning it up against a window frame or laying it on the carpeted floor. I bought a Avenge X next. Same aggravating issue.
Some will say, just shoot it to confirm zero. BUT, the main reason for an air gun is to shoot invasive birds off my purple martin housing at about 30 to 50 yards. I need it dead on at all times. If I shoot my sight in steel (near the martin housing), I will scare off the poop bird. If it is too far off, I might damage my martin housing which is worth 3x the air rifle!!
With my Aveng X; It was suggested to take off the band connecting the barrel/shroud and the tank. This works...BUUUUT eventually the recoil made the shroud slide past the little detent screw that hold it to the barrel!!! The *&%^ shroud is tight and I need to get it off some day with heat and more force. I am currently using a aftermarket band on the shroud and tank. It is ok, but I still am not confident on it holding zero.
I am looking to upgrade from the AVeng X. It is VERY accurate. need to shoot the 30 yard challenge. I think It could do ok. If I spend $1500 buck or so for a higher quality rifle and I end up with the "don't touch the barrel" bs I will throw it in the creek!!
Believe it or not I DID do a search on this topic. I see it appears to be a "thing" and I am not crazy. I would THINK a bullpup design that supports the barrel more would not have this issue...but I don't know if I like the looks of a bullpup. The RAW and guns like it with a skinny barrel hanging out there forever just worries me.
So my search is for a dead nut accurate .25 (.22 2nd choice) at 50 yards that can take a bit of bumping around. I would like it to be right up to or close to being used in accuracy competitions. I have won a few bench rest matches in the past with a powder burner, so I am drawn to the crap like a moth
I am fine with a used gun (leak free) looking at the FX Wildcat 2-3, FX Maverick. The huntsman but the barrel band scares me for bumpies. The FX DRS is intriguing, but I have not seen a lot of reviews yet.
Free for opinions.. Thanks
