The RAW HM1000 Micro Hunter!

[Michael]

Is finally here!

 

[Airacuda]

Cool gun! Reminds me of the old WAR WARP. I like the lines and compactness. I seen it at SS and was thinking I need this on my wall of guns then also thought my wife will murder me

 

[L.Leon]

I like it a lot!

 

[Keyman62421]

Didn't hear any $'s.

Didn't hear any $'s.

$$$$$$ better start saving!

 

[Joes41]

Can't wait! Haven't been this excited about an airgun in a while.

 

[Jlowe]

Can't be that expensive, it has an aluminum tank. I'm guessing $1400.

I hope you’re right. For that price, I’ll guarantee I’ll have one in my collection.

 

[Jlowe]

I'm just guessing by what FX does with their prices on aluminum vs. carbon fiber bottles. I still don't understand the 3000psi rating, especially for what the price will be. Why didn't they do 3600 or even 4000 psi, especially with a 210cc bottle.

FPE on that can't be great.

And it's not even semi

FPE on that can't be great.

And it's not even semi

I think I heard it has a fourteen inch barrel, that should be good enough for over twenty FPE. Figure enough air for the two magazine standard. Color me interested.

FPE on that can't be great.

And it's not even semi

Hardair magazine reports 25+ FPE in their pre-SHOT show article. I’m assuming that’s max in .25cal.

 

[UCChris]

FPE on that can't be great.

And it's not even semi

I'd imagine there are plenty of people out there like me that have zero interest in semiauto airguns.

Martin designed this rifle about five years ago to be a pure hunter. It is meant to be relatively light and compact with enough 20+ fpe shots for an afternoon in the woods. Airforce offered it briefly and then it was shelved. It has now been reissued and may become the first rifle bearing the RAW name that is made completely in Texas.

 

[DougH.]

Has anybody heard what the MSRP is on this carbine?

 

[Joekrooz]

I like this too! Didn’t they tease this a couple years ago?

Last time I talked to RAW, ALL their rifles were being made in Minor Hills Tennesse.

There has been quite a fairy tale going around here on AGN that Airforce ruined the RAW. In fact, while they produce the parts in Texas, every part and every RAW is sent to Martin for assembly and tuning and quality control. The RAW is, in fact, still a Martin Rutterford production, albeit sped along by Airforce producing parts and stocks. Quality hasn't suffered - I own an older version and a brand new version without the large LDC and, while I prefer the larger LDC version, they both shoot lights out. Sorry for the rant, but disinformation runs rampant.

I’ve worked on 3-4 of these gun some pre Airforce and some post Airforce.

My experience is the quality of the machine work is degraded.
Possibly I had a couple of bad parts…..but right now, if I bought one I’d look for an older version.

Also…the wood stocks currently shipping with the guns don’t compare to martins stocks.

Assembled…not made
