I agree wholeheartedly, Zebra. I've given up on the airgun industry and rarely visit this or any other airgun site any more. Would add my thanks for the scope recommendation, Michael; I also ordered one for my Ruger 10/22 w/skeletonized laminate stock, Volquartsen trigger and Gemtech...

I think there might be another factor at work here that would tend to make B more accurate. In traditional firearms we call it "lock time"; the time it takes from the moment the trigger is pulled until the firing pin hits the primer and sends the bullet on its way. It has been demonstrated...

The message about Kalibrgun buying RAR was posted February 18th on TAG, so I suppose there was enough time between Marek's response for something to have happened. And it's obvious that someone is communicating with Petr and that they have communicated with him fairly recently. As I've noted...

According to one post I've read Kalibrgun now owns RAR so my hope is that they will simply manufacture it themselves. One of the ironies in this whole matter is that much of the CDC work for the prototypes was done in the US and Japan. If Kalibrgun has decided to manufacture the VL-12...

Thanks for the recommendation, Michael; I'll check it out. Of course, I'm still waiting for that lightweight PCP on which to mount it (my .30 cal Condor SS only weighs 5.5 lbs w/the carbon fiber tank but I'm wanting a really lightweight .22). I'm hoping the VL-12 magically materializes at...


Sounds great, Zebra; again, looking forward to seeing what you've developed. And 5 lbs sounds about right. Great work. I'm with you on scopes. I've looked and looked for a lightweight variable to compliment a lightweight rifle. I have a couple of the Bug Busters; they're inexpensive and...


Fascinating. As Alice would say, "curiouser and curiouser." I found it interesting that the 7.23 lb figure you saw on the page was exactly the figure quoted in the Blackpool video. At $999, it's more of an academic interest at this point anyway, but I'm with you: Would like to know der troof.

Knowing that light weight figures sell guns, perhaps they removed the shroud rationalizing that it wasn't actually part of the rifle; you could shoot it without the shroud if you wanted. How much does a cup of bull manure weigh? :-)

Many thanks, Airguns. After Mark's comment I did some searching and the results were disappointing. Blackpool Airguns did a video review and their sample weighed 7.23 lbs; another reviewer got 6.3 lbs, and now you're saying your sample weighed near 7 lbs. And, of course, the Brocock site is...

As I've posted previously, I have tried the Rabbit Mags in 3 guns: A stock Hammerli Pneuma producing around 30 ft-lbs; an highly-modded .22 Marauder producing just shy of 60 ft-lbs; and an highly modded .22 Condor SS producing 65 ft-lbs. All three shot patterns instead of groups. On the cover...

Mark, could you post the link at which you're looking? The link I find (http://www.brocock.co.uk/compatto.html) is still reading 5.9 lbs.

Agree that the Caselman looks a lot like the Air Ordnance. Perhaps AO will modify their design at some point (magazine/stock). Wondered how the CF project was going. I'm still quite interested to see how everything turned out. Congratulations; what do you think the final weight will be on...

:-). Hear you on yet another boat anchor bullpup. BTW, checked out the IWA official site yesterday and clicked on Kalibrgun's website. Kalibrgun has already posted a "Plastik 2" Cricket. Looks like it's using a polymer stock modeled after the original skeleton design; total weight of 2.9 kg...

According to Jim at Precision they're still 2-3 months away from arriving. I was interested as well until I read that the price point of $999 is considerably higher than the $850 figure originally released (and followed in Europe). It moves the Compatto much closer to guns that are regulated...

:-). Hear you on the airgun manufacturers reading NASA technical journals. But totally agree that mass production (which goes hand-in-hand with finding a non-kiln curing process in my opinion) holds great promise. I see the massive use of CF in the auto industry as another force to encourage...

Zebra, I know you're really knowledgeable about CF. Read an article a few months ago about NASA doing extensive testing with CF that doesn't require kiln curing and the preliminary results were quite positive. Seems like that might offer a solution for these companies who already offer...

Disappointing news on the VL-12. It is Petr over at Topgun who says they will arrive by the end of the year so perhaps Kalibrgun has found a solution. Go over to the TAG forum and search the P12 bullpup forum for P2015. There were a series of pictures posted of the P15 barreled action as well...


I see your point, and to a certain extent agree. However, my frustration comes from what I perceive as manufacturers failing to take advantage of the bullpup platform in order to produce a field-friendly weapon that is not only short and compact but light as well. I think part of the issue is...

I suspect that since I started this thread, some of you have been wondering why I haven't filed a report on the Mrodair compressor yet.I've copied the full email thread below. Essentially this is what has happened. I placed my pre-order for the compressor on December 16th and subsequently...

Have an Air Force Condor SS with a .30 cal TJ barrel and other power mods. Quite powerful and surprisingly quiet with the baffles bored just a few thousandths oversize. One of the issues no one has mentioned is cost. Thirty-cal pellets currently run about 11 cents a piece; just bought a lot...
