AirMaks Arms Krait L HP .22 first shoot- PLEASE ADVICE

That's awesome my man! I was really wanting a krait l .22 to shoot the jsb ko 20.83gr .216 but my M4 600mm loves them. I have no need for one but I still want one haha
If we learned anything from the past is that there’s no such thing as too many airguns 😅
Yes, I’m really pleased with my Krait, she’s so much more practical than U2. Ok, U2 can still produce double the power, but Krait is most often my first choice just because of the size and weight 👍
Stay sharp,
S.

Yes 👍
Although with this setup I need L40 (the longest Airmaks mod) if I want to stay unnoticed.
But man… how much I like this airgun… I made so many small changes and alterations, from the stiffer barrel to the lighter trigger… now she’s the absolute beast in the smallest package possible 👍😎

How did you stiffen the barrel?Or is that in this post?

I think I didn’t mentioned here;
I put the CF sleeve, latter when I saw the results I decided to glue it, for good.
Regular CF pipe: 2mm wall, ID 14mm, OD 18mm.
My friend ordered it so I don’t have the link, but it’s from Aliexpress and it was around 30€, 2x500mm pipes.
There was also 3mm version but I didn’t wanted to lose the shroud’s volume even more, while this pipes are really stiff as hell

Is this cf sleve just slid over the barrel to give it some support? How has ownership of this rifle been? Are you satisfied with how it has performed? Im very close to ordering a krait L hp 25.

Yes, just really tight sleeve over the barrel, glued.
I absolutely love my Krait. she’s L HP (unchoked) in .22, to be honest if you want .25 maybe you should go with X. Nothing wrong with L versions, but if you want to shoot heavier slugs, +7 inches more is a biggie, power wise.
Check out YT videos, you can compare it with Katran too, same barrels, same regs, same power ranges.
Alth ultimately, it all depends for what use you’re planning to set her up.
As for Krait… I can’t write good enough about that airgun, I absolutely recommend her 👍

What I love about the L is how compact it still, if I have to go for an X I would rather stay with the impact standard like I do now. It's 37-38in long already with the mod but it's dead quiet, shooting 20.83gr at 890fps and I'm getting 5 mags which puts me at around 140 shots with a 480 bottle.

I got my buddies impact m3 tuned(used to be mine) and it' lovely tuned as I am waiting for a new liner. But with the tungsten hammer and 140b it'll shoot 25gr at 1040 if everything is maxed out. Currently have it with 25gr slugs around 830 for 21gr around 920

Im mostly want the L because its 28 inches. I dont own a compact yet. What size slugs are you shooting out of the .22? I have 30gr, 34gr, and 38gr slugs im hoping to use

Yes, that was my logic when I was ordering Krait; I wanted shorter barrel so I chose .22.
Sufficient power, better air efficiency, better BC than.25 in same length.
And if I want more, I have U2 .25 700mm black deamon 😅 shooting 35gr @1050fps, I don’t even know how many shots but all frickin lot, more than 40, maybe +50. Ridiculously good tune, thanks to you, @MACTEN, I forgot who else was involved, sorry for not mentioning

At the moment, with this tune I tested 25-34gr, but mostly used 25-30gr.

Approximate results;
25gr pellet@950fps
25gr slug @930fps
34gr slug@ 850fps

Heavier slugs won’t fit multi mag, I still don’t have single shot to try heavier, nor my power range fits them.
I prefer faster but lighter and 25gr fits perfectly

Hahaha that's awesome. I just got back my old U2 177, I had that thing shooting 21gr slugs at 1000fps (44fpe got like 50 shots) before it was tuned down to 34fpe 15gr at 1000

Man… that airgun… I promise you, when I fire I think it’s broken. Until I check the chrono. That balanced valve is something special 👍😎
Here’s few shots after two months in the case; literally from the first shot.
.25 35grain ZAN slugs.
What else can one even ask?!?

That's awesome! My buddies Vulcan 3 .25 700mm (also used to be mine and different buddy lol) I tuned to shoot 45gr slugs at 950-956fps the reg I believe is at 150-160 with the the tube set to plenum side. Getting like 4 mags deadly accurate, tuned it such for coyotes. Only problem is that it's a damn light pole lol.

That's what I thought but here I am with 2 impact m4 and hoping for a leopard soonish 😂 this one is my compact .30 git an all black 22 standard and they are night and day difference from the M3 and dont need a single aftermarket item. Aside from oerhard the tungsten hammers is you really want more power. But that is it. This compact gives me 60 shots with 44.75 at 838avg

There’s no a single day I don’t think about Leopard, but there’s also Slash and I’m waiting more firsthand experience before deciding. But yes, I totally get you 👍
Sooner or later one FX (at least) will come to my house, there’s just not enough money for everything I want 😅
