The GK1 is a 'little scarce' right now but it sure looks great. There is a new one on eBay for bid right now but the auction is over $1250 already. When supplies get a little better and I feel like splurging I will certainly consider the Huben. It looks like a great shooter and the specs are off...

I forgot to add that my Velox never did go into 'auto' mode. But then, I only shot 2 mags + 2 shots before the mag jammed and stayed jammed.

I had not thought about a Velox comparison to the Ataman AP16. I was fortunate enough to find a refurbished one on PA about five years ago at $875.00 and it was one of the best buys I've ever made. Talk about a well made pistol!!! The Velox is not even close but I had hopes that this might be...

Sorry to hear about your experience but not entirely surprised. The jams were pretty annoying because the magazines are a snug fit in the breach and there is no room to extract a stuck pellet. The door that flips down is in the way of leveraging the magazine out if a pellet is stuck between the...

I hope you are right. I also liked the looks, especially in FDE. The design looked like it was a good one. I would like to see them get rid of the side lever that holds the magazine because I don't think it is needed. Like any other PCP rifle, the magazine slot is generally a firm fit without...

I agree. I've had several Hatsans (AT44-10s .25 cal, AT44-10QE .22 cal, Hatsan Flash .22 cal, Nova QE .22 cal) and they were all great shooters. But they were HEAVY!!! I had to sell them, since I could hardly hold them. At my age, weight is a big consideration. I kept and still own the Flash...

Wow. That was embarrassing. I have become so used to things that just read out fps and fpe to me that I totally forgot that you can actually calculate fpe manually using basic math. Thank you for the gentle reminders and thanks for the link to the calculator. That was a good wake-up call...

Not sure exactly how to post a reply here but will try again. silvershooter589. Did you happen to take an fpe reading at the 873 fps low end of the hammer-spring adjust? Dick

silvershooter589 Did you happen to take an fpe reading at the 873 velocity end of the low end of the hammer-spring setting?

My response was that I use my airguns several times a week, but I am retired so quit often I shoot every day. In any event, I shoot as often as I can. I like to keep my "O" rings and seals flexible :cool:

Thank you for posting that, Byron. There was a really nasty problem with the original Gauntlet 2s coming out of China, both with loose screws and a 'ragged' entrance to the pellet chamber. In many cases you would actually have to pound the bolt handle to get a pellet chambered. There were a lot...

Great review. I have both the Gauntlet 1 in .25 cal and the Gauntlet 2 in .22 cal. Both are great shooters after some work. The Gauntlet 2 had a problem with 'ragged' edges on the pellet entry port. I literally had to pound the bolt handle to get the pellet into the receiver to get it to go in...

Mark; I understand what you're saying. I've also seen talk of re-fillable C02 cartridges and there is probably one on the market now somewhere. I never really gave it serious thought. The cost of design and production of a viable product would make it necessary to see a pretty descent return on...

Well, maybe your post will give someone an idea. I doubt that those little tanks of CO2 could stand 4500 psi, though. I run through a lot of those little rascals every month so I buy them in 40 ct boxes. I generally buy Crossman cartridges and Umarex, as well. As I said, I spend far too much...

Mark; Wow. Lots of lengthy posts above. I normally like to keep my posts a lot shorter but lost my head on a few. My tendency is to talk too much so I try to keep things in check and not take up so much bandwidth here. By "since you have one" I take it your are talking about the Ataman. I am not...

Mark: Yes, price drives most decisions when it comes to airguns. Some can afford to pop for an FX without thinking twice, since it has a great reputation for quality. Although price doesn't always mean high quality, it often tracks well with price. I tend to go for maximum features at...

Mark; Thanks for the very interesting post. Just goes to show you what you can trigger on when comparing airguns. I had not thought of the Diana and the Artemis 800, since they both have sort of floating barrels and rotary magazines. I triggered on the shroud/air chamber configuration on the...

Thought this might be useful in determining some of the info related to the new Notos. The Artemis sure looks like it fits the description of the Notos, redone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBO7gqS3Sow I have not found this item anywhere but eBay might be a good place to look if anyone is...

Mark; I have not seen the Notos pistol posted anywhere yet as an offering. Pyramid Air has the carbine listed but not yet available. I am on the waitlist, which generally posts new offerings well in advance of their availability. I suspect that is to get a feel for the demand. The carbine was...
