The only .177 Hubens (that I'm aware) come from Kelly and I don't think there are more than a handfull. Probably people that wanted lower power and higher shot count. The gun has more than enough power. It's a question of barrel and slug match. If you find a pair that works in another gun. Then fit it to K1. Modify magazine last.Has anyone out there had any success with the K1 in .177 slug shooting? I spoke to Krazy Kool Airguns and he told me that he has tried, with minimal success, or none. I’m wondering since the .22 and .25 takes a larger diameter slug, maybe the .177 is the same? At any rate, I would like to hear if you all have tried and what the results were.
Your skills and craftsmanship are amazingly impressive and thank you for sharing them with us.Thank you again fellas. I’m working on a R 9 soon , Or R1 , maybe finish this big guy ..it’s in temp cold blue to test. (Stop rust while working on it) You can see the immediate wear on the barrel from hand wear. COLD BLUE SUCKS ..

It’s a 30 mm tubed gun.. Uk Tommy for size difference.
View attachment 406144There it is next to the full sized R7 that I made, (note the length of pull is for men,that was before I fitted it for 5’2 arms) I made the original my pattern with the Weatherby Look , so I can make Adult sized stocks for grown ass men.
Note the stamping on the tube do not match with the trigger. Boooom….
Maybe if you just tell them in the post where the place to find it is instead of posting a link. That might be OK but do not know.Hadnt thought of using Gunbroker, but that's a great idea. I would need to check the rules here and other places regarding linking to another site. If I recall correctly, that was/is a no no on the Yellow.
The balance is good. If I rest the gun in my hand, under the trigger guard, it's balanced with the scope and moderator mounted. I think the CF bottle would tip it slightly rearward, which I think I would prefer. But, no complaints so far. Besides not having a compressor... But, that's not the gun's fault!The mk III Wildcat either VP or CF bottle has been on my short list. Ill be following along to see how she goes for you.
Congratulations on your new Wildcat! What do you think of the balance with the 600mm barrel? and is that the standard Fx donny moderator?
keep us updated
cheers
There's nothing ro do but shoot the thing and enjoy it.now. Nothing broke when you dry fired the excess air off, and so you should be alright long term.Looking for info on a blunder I just did and found this. Anyone accidentally fill their gun to 6,000 psi? I have the cs4-i compressor and I ****ing hate the gauge. What I had thought I set the shutoff to was 5,000, was actually 6,000. I usually watch but I had to grab my reading glasses and a light to make sure I set it right. By the time I found everything the pump had stopped. When I looked at the gun gauge it was past the 40 MPa and pretty much to those letters. I didn't want to waste time loading with that much pressure, nor did I know how the gun would react. So I was forced to dry fire to relieve the pressure back to 5K. Anyone have any ideas on what I should look out for now? It held the pressure and fired fine. Hoping I didn't damage anything but I don't even know what to check for on this gun.
I might add, the maverick is much better if you tension the barrel as it is plagued by the more flimsy barrel issues that fx guns have. The dynamic doesn’t have that problem.I have the maverick in .25 and the dynamic in .30. Both 700 mm. Both are very good guns, shoot very good and with the heavier hammers produce lots of power. If length is not an issue Id go dynamic.
This is the Bug Buster 3-12 power side focus. Eye relief is about 3”. Not a traditional pistol scope. Focuses down to about 3 yards!What UTG scope is that? Is it long eye relief? I need to know because I love that set up ;-)...And that is some great shooting!
