I refill with a nice slow, cool Shoebox compressor, so I don't lose much of anything on cool down - maybe a few bar, but no more than about 5 or so. So a fill to 4500 psi easily ends up a bit over 300 bar. The first few fills are easily that high out of the 9L, but I used to have the issue you...

That's crazy that they said 250 bar max - it says right on the unit 300 bar max, and they supposedly created it for field fills of their L2 which is a 300 bar gun . . . . I've had one for at least two years now (from EdGun, not a knockoff), and I regularly use it to fill my Huben K1 and...

Nice review, and thanks for the information. It's kind of disappointing to have that much power but nothing much to apply it to, nor a way to shoot ammo that would work at more reasonable power levels . . . it seems that all of the variants of semi-autos that shoot out the magazine have the...

No, I meant something else . . . but first I'll say that as much as I love the Huben K1, I do find it easier to shoot a traditional rifle accurately. The ergonomics, coupled with the higher polar moment of inertia, simply let me hold the rifle on target in a more steady manner, and that leads...

Here is a photo of the parts that make up the Huben K1 adjustment - as you can see, nothing is going to wear out in any conceivable usage. On the stock is the stem assembly that has the shaft that turns the actual adjuster on the closing spring force. You can see the base for it has 4 ball...

That is pretty sweet. Have an Air Ranger, and it is just an awesome gun, so I'm sure I would like the Red Wolf. I've kind of looked past it as the form factor is so close to what I have, but maybe I'll have to give it some more thought . . . I've often thought that if the Huben had the...

This is a bit off topic, but since @Ultralight brought it up and it was his thread to start with . . . ;) Honestly, if you want that feature, you might find the Huben K1 to be your best shot at it. It is purely mechanical, but the power wheel does an amazingly repeatable switch in power, and...

I am too - I don't know enough about it yet. It does not seem to be as "friendly" towards changing power output as the Huben - I'll admit I did not care that much about the feature when I got it (I figured I'd set it once and forget about it) but it has proved to be a great feature for me in...

One regulator that appears to be an exception to this is the one on the Huben K1. It lets you adjust it down to zero to fully vent the plenum without taking any shots, leaving the main reservoir still full of air. I found it amazing to be able to "degas" a gun to take it apart, and yet still...

First, you did not mention what type of compressor you are going to be using this with. That matters, in that the flow rate out of the compressor has a bearing on what kind of "filter" works best. For example, a cyclonic separator (or the dual units that use a cyclonic seperator before a media...

I don't know if any small broken pellet bits would simply fall out or not, but there clearly are spaces in the mechanism for them to jam up so I'd rather just get them out. And I'm not saying jams are always that bad, but it has occurred on mine. You have to remember that the jam is almost...

Sometimes the rod can work, sometimes not - it depends if the mag partially advances or not. When it partially advances the pellet gets squished in a way that prevents the mag from rotating back to square. I suppose one could "work it" back to position, but then there would likely be a bit of...

It's interesting that your Mordax has a quieter action that your Sidewinder Compact. I have a Sidewinder and the loudness of the action is such a limitation for the gun. I have a Huben K1 that is MUCH quieter even when shooting at higher power than the Sidewinder. How much of it do you...

I agree that it is a shame that more slugs don't fit in the magazine - I think the mag is likely more a limit than the barrel (especially true if one has multiple barrels, as the mags cost as much or more than the barrels and don't offer much known dimensional change). The one good thing you...

@karl_h , I really like this graph and appreciate you posting it - I have been looking for something like it but had not found it before and did not feel like creating it myself. But I don't think you are interpreting it correctly . . . I'll explain it more thoroughly for everybody else to...
