I replied that knurling could be an option but must have said something nefarious. It’s waiting for mod approval….?

KnurlingIn the thread on the huben peanut slugs; people were rolling pellets between two files or a razor blade jig to tighten pellet fit.
Crazy lol… didn’t think it would work. Just have these small HF files…. Nice snug fit.Knurling
Yep@Kenjeepman Getting them to fit is one thing. Now you have to see how they shoot on a consistent basis.
This will be the deciding factor. I developed the utility knife blade knurling so I could keep the knurling consistent. It’s not some magic fix all, but did work great in my application.@Kenjeepman Getting them to fit is one thing. Now you have to see how they shoot on a consistent basis.
Knurled area of slug measured .179 which is the mag minimum. Pushing it through the barrel it mics up right at .177 confirming the barrel is right at .177.This will be the deciding factor.

Huben made this pistol with the intention to shoot pellets. Pellets would not fit if the mag chambers were small enough to fit .177-.178 slugs. The head would fit but the skirt would get hung up.Knurled area of slug measured .179 which is the mag minimum.

Huben needs to make the .177 mags hole size smaller.
hes been helping me along the way, hasn’t mentioned it.Huben made this pistol with the intention to shoot pellets. Pellets would not fit if the mag chambers were small enough to fit .177-.178 slugs. The head would fit but the skirt would get hung up.
Krazcool Airguns used to sell a custom .177 mag. Maybe he still has some.
I have a .177 and shoot only RWS Supermag 9.3 and 700fps. I also load 4 pellets use 3mm ball Allen key that comes in tool kit and seat the pellet still they hit the mag stop. My perfect backyard air pistol.Anyone own the .177 GK1?
Didn’t help i had other issues going on .. that are now fixed. At the same time i had bought and swapped over the .177 conversion.
already had a bunch of pellets and slugs i wanted to use. Firstly .. slugs are absolutely out of the question. Way too loose in the mag. Bought and tried the NSA .178’s and still loose. I actually had one fall backwards into the valve space which Jammed it and destroyed the plastic cover .. good thing it was a replacement part in the bag. Really good think it didn’t damage the NEW valve and seats i just replaced.
As far as shooting the GK1, no matter what power its set as it dips a little in FPS but then raises. Cant shoot much over 20 mpa before it dumps air. I did try and measure the barrel using pin gauges. A -.176 will pass. -.177 will not. The mag a -.188 just enters the loading side tapering down to . -.179.
Mag is definitely too bag. Not sure what the barrel diameter in relation to cal/pellet size is supposed to be ? Just wondering if anyones had better luck with the .177.
22 is back in and shooting great.
@Rubik777 At which velocities are you shooting the JSB King 24.39 grain and King Heavy 33.95 grain pellets from your GK1 V3+?Hi all! I have problems with my brand new Huben gk1 caliber .25 Ver 3+. It's making pretty bad groups with Discovery scope installed at 25 yards. Groups are 4-5 inches. Scope is good Discovery 4-16x44 and the mount is good quality as well. First I thought the problem is me but other more experienced shooters gave it a try and they said that it really is shooting bad. Do you think huben shop may approve this as warranty situation? After all the gun function properly its just shooting bad.
After all these vids and reviews on the net I really expected hole in hole at this distance with scope on it. And I only use JSB pellets 25 and 34 grain, no slugs no experiments..

You using a moderator ? Clipping .. thats the only thing i can think of with groups that big.Hi all! I have problems with my brand new Huben gk1 caliber .25 Ver 3+.

Not using moderator till now. Next time I'll try huben moderator lets see how it works. May be velocities are a bit slow I know best for pellet is 850-930 FPS I think I shoot below that. But still way to bad performance. Do you think is good idea to contact seller or its pointless what would be your advice? Thanks!You using a moderator ?

And after 300-400 shots I cleaned the barrel but performance remain the same.
As far as I know moderators have different influence on groups, its random, sometimes makes them tighter sometimes wider. My chrono broke I need new one so no don't own one right now, but I can borrow next time. Considering power adjustment I set velocities should be in decent range. Idk I hope I don't have this barrel misaligment that I've seen some reports about.With pellets you should be ok 600-700 fps
Do you own a chronograph?
I have both 22 and 25 Gk1’s. I can not use the hubben moderator with the 25 .. poi was all over the place.
Have not heard of that. Are you talking about misalignment of the barrel and the mag? I can see if that were the case it would damage the pellet and cause accuracy issues only way to check that is by taking the gun apart.As far as I know moderators have different influence on groups, its random, sometimes makes them tighter sometimes wider.

Yes I was talking exactly about this barrel-mag misaligment. But I am making pure speculation here. Its just I can't find another reason why it has such poor accuracy.Have not heard of that.
