Huben pistol.

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Harold. I guess if your pressure is low, you might not need to. I think the owners of the K1 have replaced their lever without degassing, as they are regulated. I know when I went to put my lever housing back on my GK1, I could tell I would break it if I tightened it on. I found out I had to degass. I broke my lever when it was a full 5000 psi fill, and then I t tried to put the new lever on at that pressure. I would not try to replace it again with any air in it. I now only fill to 4000 max and fill after I load.

I like the look of Gregor’s pistol over the production version. From the trigger guard, shroud with pic rail, to the small piece in the back of the pistol that adds style and makes for a better grip. The only things that are better about the production pistol are the longer air tube, better sights, and a more refined grip.

I like the Huben design. The angles on trigger guard work with the angles on the shroud.

The more sound Idea I think is what a member posted earlier, load the mg then fill the gun,....great Idea.

One thing though, if someone shoots it at very low power, there still might be +300 bar in the cilinder if you started at 350. 🙂
Huben needs to give us better Q levers. Their warning "don't let it snap" just isn't enough to tackle the issue.
The lever is fine for the K1 because of the regulator, but not for the GK1.

If you shoot very low power why would you ever want to refill at 300 BAR ?

My feelings also. I think https://www.aresairgunstactical.com/ is going to make some stronger levers. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063512294539

Between the issues with the striker spring & lever, maybe they should say max fill 4000 psi. Even at 4000 you still get great performance. However, with about 2000 pellets shot, I replaced 1 lever and 3 springs. I have a lot of rifles that I have not shot that much in a year or two. There are persons on here working on the spring thingy and Zachary is working on stronger levers. So, I am positive about this pistol. With these issues, I would still buy one.

The spring replacement takes no time and I would be happy to just put a new one in each month or two. It’s a lot faster than cleaning the barrel. Can we find a source that might be cheaper than the dealers?

I haven't followed it close enough to know what the striker spring issue means. Does it break sooner or later? Something all GK1 owners will face?
Can you explain this a bit please?

I had one break & two get bent. That is with 2000 pellets launched. A few other persons posting on here have had at least one to get damaged. They are easy to replace. I replaced the buffer each time. All three times my GK1 seemed to function fine. I only discovered the damaged spring when I removed the end cap. As Weevil said, if you need to replace it once a month or so, it's not a real big deal.

Maybe someone else on here can explain its function better. Heck, I am not even exactly sure what it does, LOL.

This spring from Amazon is almost identical except for being 1mm shorter. Huben Stock spring is 31mm long/ 7mm OD/ 1mm Wire Diameter/ Unknown spring metal. The Amazon spring has the same OD and wire diameter but is 1mm* shorter and is made from stainless steel. Don’t know how much the OEM springs are but these Amazon one’s are $8 for 10. I ordered some to test.

The striker spring returns the striker so that the firing valve stays closed. The striker is held in place by a sear. When you pull the trigger the sear drops and the firing valve opens, pushing the striker back. The striker compresses the spring and the spring returns the striker.

The firing valve is comprised of two parts that when pressurized want to split apart to release the air. The striker along with the sear hold this valve closed.
