    Huben K1 - Is there a way to repair or re-calibrate the tank gauge? [Solved]

    thank you. i have found a dealer closer to me, who sells just the gauge. i am going to order from them anyway, so will safe on shipping. =) how does one remove the gauge cover? just pull it with a sock or the like around it to catch the eventually escaping springs/balls?

    Huben K1 - Is there a way to repair or re-calibrate the tank gauge? [Solved]

    ok, i got the whole fill port assembly off now, but i struggle to get the slide cap off. do you (or anybody else) know how to get it off? preferably without loosing the springs and bearings inside, of course? it looks like it would be just janked off and apparently that is what people have...

    Huben K1 - Is there a way to repair or re-calibrate the tank gauge? [Solved]

    thank you, that is something to learn from. theoretical these problems are eliminated by the non-standard design of the huben gauges.

    Huben K1 - Is there a way to repair or re-calibrate the tank gauge? [Solved]

    thanks for your replies. it is not as cheap as suggested, because the part contains the whole fill port / airtank endcap section and costs about 100€ (i am in the EU zone).

    Huben K1 - Is there a way to repair or re-calibrate the tank gauge? [Solved]

    On my 2nd hand Huben K1 (2021) the gauge on the tank is broken and not reactive to the tank pressure. It is stuck on MAX., but the rifle works like a charm otherwise. It's set up for pellets, holds air and is the most accurate air rifle i have. I wonder, if anybody has had a similar issue and...

    AEA Megalodon or MegaloDON'T ?

    i have a hard time deciding if i shall get a MEG .50cal or not. i really like the concept, but there are a bunch of issues (and experiences of others), that seem to make the investment a silly idea. then again, usually people chime in with rather ok experiences and praise. 15" or 22"? both very...

    AEA Megalodon hammer slippage?

    AEA Megalodon hammer slippage?

    this became one of my main reasons not to get one of these, as much as i wanted to. let's see if we will see a future in which AEA will eradicate such flaws, in an overhauled production batch, instead of pumping out new models. (can't wait to find out about the 'funny parts' in the new one.)
