Never make a change to correct a fault you are not certain you have. That's what I meant about chasing your tail. The best way to rule out clipping as your cause is by using a test rod. I have said this before and I will repeat it again. Clipping is a very common issue because moderators mount...

The OP is chasing his tail. It is all about confidence in your gun. You must know between your ears that any observed fault is yours not the equipment. This is a rule you must observe to become a better marksman. There is a very easy and simple way to determine if your moderator is clipping...

Mark, Measure the pellets both head and skirt diameters and you will see that the skirt is larger than the head in any caliber regardless of brand. Kelly may be correct about magazine bore size, but that has not been my experience. I use precision accurately ground pins in a go/no go manner to...

Your understanding of the GK1's magazine is not correct. The GK1 and the K1 rifle is a revolver and in every revolver is the requirement to secure the ammunition in the magazine to prevent unintended motion. In PBs this is accomplished via the flange on the brass case. In the case of the GK1/K1...

I've read this thread front to back. You get what you pay for. This Reminex pistol falls into the same category as the Artemis /Snowpeak pistols. Bank on luck and be prepared to fix the issues that come with an inexpensive gun. If you want a pistol that is as close to perfect out of the box pay...

I understand your concern, but Your choice of sights comes down to your intended purpose. I am a very experienced pistol shooter and there are reasons to have fixed pistol sights. Think short range, concealment and comfortable carry. Then there is rapid target acquisition pesting where a reflex...

With a pistol I miss a lot, but even when I miss I am close enough to get their undivided attention. I don't use open sights. I use . 2mm red dot reflex sight. With a reflex sight. You do not lose sight of your target when judging the amount of holdover.

No time, no matter what tool you have to calculate holdover at distance when shooting at birds. It is instinct and experience with your gun. The GK1 is a pistol and with a pistol, field of view without magnification reins supreme. Scopes have no purpose on a pistol. Scopes limit the field of...

Yes, I have hit pigeons at 100 meters. To do that, I hold high about 30 inches. However, the GK1 is a pistol and I use my GK1s usually at shorter distances.

I must commend Weevil for his efforts. He is on the right track, but the limited space in the shroud available is a substantial issue to create an effective stripper. Adding to that dilemma is the lack of a barrel alignment register with the moderator adapter. To be honest. a completely new...

Mark, Perhaps stating that your targets will not be distorted over time by soft lead pellets, would clear up any doubt that may exist. Unfortunately, this is an issue with many makers of steel targets.

I have never shot at AR400, so I cannot say how durable it is, but I can state that if mild un-heatreated steel is used, it must be at least 4mm thick to withstand .25 pellets at even low velocities to withstand distortion.

1/8" mild steel plates will be destroyed by .25 cal pellets at anything above 600 fps at 25 meters distance. .

Mattias, AliExpress for all parts including the 2mm reflex sight. My glass center to barrel center distance is 29 mm.

Cost and distance control.
