Airgun Technologies AGT Uragan 2, Threaded Barrel?

Makes no difference. I wouldn't base my choice on that.

Threaded is definitely better but that wouldn’t keep me from buying a Uragan.

Please elaborate on why you feel a barrel threaded into the receiver is better in an airgun of this power level.

I’m a firm believer in overkill, I don’t know of anything that broke because it was overbuilt. I didn’t say is necessary, I said it’s a better design.

I'm not certain it matters. I have several phenomenal rifles (such as as RAWS and Red Wolfs) where the barrels is secured with grub screws.

I have an Auragan 2, what caught my attention is the fit between the block and the barrel does not have any type of seal, it is direct contact between the metals. On my own, I applied a thin layer of locktite to try to seal as much as possible.

I posted earlier that I have been researching the Taipan Vet 2 and AGT Uragan 2. I am trying to confirm the Uragan 2 barrel uses grub screws to hold the barrel in place instead of being threaded into the block/receiver. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the 2 different means of securing the barrel. My research shows the Vet2 is threaded, which seems like a better design compared to grub screws. Your thoughts?

Thanks,

I have the uragan 2 and the vet one.

The uragan 2 has 8 big grub screw securing the barrel at intervals, with machined flats at those spots. Nothing is going to move that barrel, so I'd say it's much over muchness really.

What was said about the metal on metal contact and no barrel orings at the transfer port is true, but the tolerances on all the the guns I've come across are so tight that along with the pressure from the securing grub screws, there has been zero air leak at the breech during the shot cycle.
