I received my new .22 GK1V3 regulated a few days ago. I asked for about a 20ftlb tune with 16gr pellets. The regulator is set to 165. It arrived full @ 300 bar, cool. So I put my SUMO on thinking that should be OK for the basement, wrong this thing is loud. I can't imagine shooting in the backyard with it set to 40 ftlb...
I checked the speed and it was right around 800 fps. I was in the process of printing a couple of @subscriber contributions and put off shooting any more until I could try them. It turns out that the round 6" offset hole is a bit better than the medium dual cylinder and both are better than the SUMO. Still to loud to shoot in the basement without disturbing my wife and dog. Not a big deal I can just turn the power down. I'm only killing paper.
KRAZ COOL had the power turned out 1.5 turns, it's now at 1. Speed is now about 620 and 13.7ftlb. This made a very noticeable difference. Next time I'm going another 1/4 turn lower.
Yesterday I shot 190 pellets (19 round mag) and wasn't thrilled with the 10 yard results. Quarter size 5 shot groups with an occasional flyaway outside that. Mounted by the way, no freehand. Humm, hope it gets a lot better if I polish the barrel. Then I saw flakes on the table, lead flakes lots of them?
Loading the mag is a chore! Not fun at all. I was shaving off part of each pellet during the load process. Good thing my Rustic Industrial Customs loading gate showed up today
Installing it made a big difference. Dime size holes no fliers. It still takes longer to load than a removable mag. It takes no time at all to empty the mag! Speaking of the mag, wow it is pretty violent when indexing shots. No wonder there needs to be what is it? 140 bar to insure full proper movement. And if it dosen't make the full index it backs up to an empty chamber.
It's easy to get carried away pulling the trigger. This gun is fun to shoot for sure. Maybe it's a good thing it takes a while to load.

Happy with my Shorty! Now all that remains is a proper red dot and it's done. Props to Ethan Corb and the amazing parts he creates

Beautiful GK1. Just curious, was it price or aesthetics that you chose Rustics shroud opposed to Kraz Cools Mountain metal shroud?Happy with my Shorty! Now all that remains is a proper red dot and it's done. Props to Ethan Corb and the amazing parts he creates

Mines now got a 3D printed stock, Discovery HD 2-12x24SFIR scope, Eaglevision mounts and a A&M Twink C moderator

It looks great from a distance, but as soon as I zoom in and see those print-lines and jagged edges I'm immediatly turned off.
Don't get me wrong, the design is solid. And I know there is a market for 3D printed parts. But it's definitely not for me.
I wish these 3D parts would be used for injection molding instead. But I understand that this would be a lot more costly.

Both are metal. But it simply came down to aestethics. I prefer Ethan's design. No other other reason really, haha. I don't need the pic rail or the front sight, since I'm using a red dot and a plate mount.

As a note the Mountian Metal pic rail is not the same height front to back. And if you mount a compact scope with the eye piece further back you will need rings of 2 different heights. in my case I ended up with 2 different brands of adjustable rings.

How are you liking your new loading gate? Have you forgot to put it back on after loading? Thats the only thing I see myself doing. I haven't yet knock on wood.Happy with my Shorty! Now all that remains is a proper red dot and it's done. Props to Ethan Corb and the amazing parts he creates

I haven't forgotten to put it back on, so far so good, hehe. It looks really great. It takes up a lot less space since it doesn't have a hinge. The finish is also great. Definitely would recommend ^^

The GK1 has several reasons being loud. Muzzle blast can be significant. A custom LDC that has a reflex design takes care of most of the blast even at 36 FPE.I received my new .22 GK1V3 regulated a few days ago. I asked for about a 20ftlb tune with 16gr pellets. The regulator is set to 165. It arrived full @ 300 bar, cool. So I put my SUMO on thinking that should be OK for the basement, wrong this thing is loud.

The indexing is also quite loud, but in a mechanical way. I am working on a semi-auto delete that replaces the plastic piece that moves the magazine.
And then there is the impact sound. Electrician putty is the most effective way for me. Shooting indoor against any hard target will produce lots of lead dust, as in *actual* lead dust. My putty target has its own lead shield to help mitigate a slug disintegrating too much.

While shooting at a starling the other day my GK1 25 dumped at around 18mpa so I watched Kelly's videos took it apart and got it put back together today aired it up and I'm back in business.

So apparantly there are 2 new GK1 models coming out. The GK1 Mini (which is basically Huben's own take on the Shorty), and a .30 cal version. Not sure if the mini will also come in .30. The mini will come out end of summer 2025 in the US, and the .30 is still TBA.
Never thought Huben would actually make the jump to .30 cal, since they've been reluctant to do so for so long.
Oh and the K1 will also get a .30 version. You can get more details on Gregor's YouTube channel. Im curious how much power you can get out of it.

@DonEnzone Please post a link to a credible source of information on this if you have one. A .30 cal K1 would be nice to have.

Like I said, it's on Gregor's channel. He designed the GK1, so he's as credible as it gets. Im actually surpised no one is talking about this here.
