Finally got my hands on one of these mythical air pistols. Is it as good as everyone says or did it disappoint? You will just have to watch to find out.

Great video and nice group at 50 yards. I am also seriously looking at this TM1000 pistol. My idea is to add a precision style adjustable butt stock and make it into a compact air rifle silhouette gun. I really like the RAW Mini as well but they don't make it in .177. I'm thinking of a stock like these or something similar.
I don't have an AR and don't know a lot about their stocks but I believe this would work. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Thanks,
Kenny

Kg that stock is almost $400,it sure is adjustable though.I would ask RAW to make me a .177 in what you want,that may be a better way.

I love mine! Very accurate, and I added a rear buttock to allow me to use it in HFT if I desire. It does come with the land and groove and not a poly LW barrel, which I found to be less pellet fussy actually!

Nice rifle. May I ask you about the power level youāre shooting and your shot count with that bottle. Thank you,

I have one, extremely accurate out to 35 yards, thatās as far as I shoot. I have the 20 fpe, .20 cal, carbon fiber tank model. I donāt shoot any matches.
The receipt from AirForce shows 100bar listed after the model number, I take it thatās what the reg is set to??
Shoots 11.42 grain H&N pellets @ 880 fps ish,
13.73 grain JSB pellets @ 820 fps ish and 15.89 grain JSB pellets @ 770 fps ish.
Couldnāt tell you how many shots per fill I get, right now I have a pump and only pump it to 220 bar.
Mine didnāt come with the carbon fiber barrel sleeve that Iāve seen lower and higher serial numbered TM1000 pistols with. I donāt know if the carbon fiber barrel sleeve makes a difference or not. Iāve emailed AirForce and am waiting on a reply.

To be totally honest I doubt you will see a definitive difference with or without the C.F. Sleeve! I wouldnāt worry about one if the gun is shooting good for you now.

Thanks, I appreciate your input. They are sending me one, I wonāt install it though since accuracy is fine.

No they didnāt, I did ask why some photos I see online have them and others donāt and they didnāt answer. It wasnāt a deal breaker for me since some have them and some donāt, itās not unique to my TM1000. Thereās one in the mail for me, donāt think I will bother installing it since it shoot fine.

Does the carbon fiber bottle drop lower than the aluminum one? Iām wondering if the Gray Ops rail will still fit with the carbon fiber bottle. Thanks,
Kenny

From the photos posted online of the TM1000 models, it looks like there is more room on between the barrel and the aluminum bottle than the barrel and the carbon fiber bottle. I can confirm though from owning the carbon fiber model that there isnāt that much room between the barrel and carbon fiber bottle. Maybe the carbon fiber models donāt actually come with the sleeve? But I did see that cavedwellerās and nomojos TM1000 has one. There are photos (that are probably renderings) that show the carbon fiber model with a sleeve.

The smaller diameter barrels ( Small barrel hole matched receiver ) guns had carbon over sleeves taking barrel O.D. to @16mm
Some of the guns were build off the rifles receiver that are a 16mm barrel hole and thus barrel too at 16mm
You don't have clearance over a 3.5L to 4.8L size bottles to further sleeve a 16mm barrel ... thus no CF sleeve fitted.
* Pretty sure the only way to have a 16mm barrel with a thin wall 16x18mm carbon sleeve is to use the smaller O.D. 2.2L CF bottles.
Pretty dang sure on these statements
