    If you think your airgun is loud…

    Then go to València, Spain (as I just did) and witness (feel) the “mascleta”… Be sure to watch the video to the end!

    Huben Huben GK1 celebration

    My GK1 (v1#67) just finished its 66th 150ct tin of .22 GTOs. That’s 9900 of em, costing in total more than I paid for the GK1. Since I’ve also shot at least 100 other projectiles (being conservative here), I’m calling this it’s 10000-shot celebration. In that time, it has actually just got...

    EDgun Project Leshiy 2 “RatFLEX”

    My last winter (re)build/project involves my L2, which was a simple 177/250mm REPR that was used for pesting/plinking in the yard and backpacked for hiking and skiing. It was made redundant by my Huben GK1 and I wanted to repurpose it as a dedicated ratter. The goal is to shoot small Zan 177...

    N/A The semi-sisters

    JFF on a rainy day: Huben GK1 .22; A very flexible performer, currently shooting GTOs at 900fps. Resume highlight: 1cm double tap on a coon head at 40y Leshiy 2 .177, 250mm; A determined ratter with a 5X prism and laser to score at any range, shooting Zan 10 grain slugs at 875fps with a...

    FX Wildcat compact 22 and Altaros slugs👍

    Another winter tinker that could be a long winded story but I’ll cut to the chase. It concerns my FX Wildcat, which has served duty in many configurations from 177 to 30 in compact (500mm) and sniper (700mm) form. It started out as a Mk3 tubed version and was converted to a BT through the...

    Huben GK1 trigger fix?

    Having “fixed” the shroud on the GK1 to make it functional, I’m jonesing to address the slop in the trigger. The trigger mechanism is sublime but is marred by a loose linkage which is to my mind an oversight in fabrication. What I’m referring to here is the silver linkage bar in this photo...

    CS3 - 6 month service and report

    Been using the unit multiple times per day for 6 months and it began to drag its feet and trip out at 250bar on cold days. Whipped off the cylinder head, cleaned out the old grease and regreased it with the super lube that was recommended in another thread. The intake filter looked as good as...

    AirMaks Arms Sayonara Rats! Via the Krait Compact 22

    As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I had to say goodbye to my M3 compact because it couldn’t be relied upon to shoot accurately after sitting overnight. My major pest issue involves rats, coming from a canal behind my yard and invading my chicken emporium. It’s not unusual for me to get 5...

    FX Sayonara M3…

    My M3 compact .22 has a new home with a guy that enjoys shooting airguns in his (50yard!) basement range - and I get to visit and shoot with him as a bonus! Gave the M3 its final tune, dialed down to 80bar, shooting Hades at 860fps. It’ll behave very well in that job, no doubt. This was a...

    Katran SC gets foxy

    Squirrel, that is…. First one for this little carbine. JTS 18.1 at 720fps at 35 yards. You can pick the hair you want to hit with this little gem https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/incredible-little-katran-sc.1303001/

    AirMaks Arms Incredible little Katran SC!

    A little video of my Katran SC. Tuned with love to shoot JTS 18.1 at 21fpe. First 6 shots (right after sitting overnight) at my dilapidated tiny spinner and then the head of a grain of corn, from 40yards. Eye of mouse accuracy from this $1000 little gem...

    Huben GK1@100yards

    After finding a sweet spot of very consistent speed with AVS 22-grain .223 dish slugs, I clamped my GK1 in the vice on my concrete table and shot at 100y in my backyard range. See post #200 in this thread for the background info...

    Shroud+moderator interactions

    My Panthera has me wondering about the effects of interaction between integral shrouds and external moderators. My 600s are shockingly loud with no external mod and then unexpectedly quiet with just a small external mod like a Huma 30. To be clear, or at least as I understand it, the Panthera...

    AirMaks Arms Katran SC setup and review: now with quick tune instructions!

    Skip to bottom of post #6 for a quick guide! Fellow connoisseurs, This thread will focus on a newly purchased Katran which was purchased as a ratter for my neighbor. However, due to an incident in the setup, it seems destined to be mine, in exchange for my Atomic XR. We’ll get into this...

    Huben GK1 - leveraging the shroud 👍

    Mentioned this in another thread but since it seems to be a reSOUNDing success, I figure it merits a thread, with the hope that others can follow on with a more professional approach and parts. Background: The GK1 is a fabulous device as many of you know but it does make quite a bark. Oddly...

    Benjamin Project P-rod finished

    I’ll start with a shout to @_CTAIRGUNNER_ for inspiring me to finish this P-Rod with an Airgun Revisions wood stock and thanks to Rich for doing such a nice job. I’ve had this prod for a couple years and it’s been through quite a few “experiments” including orings, SSGs and a balanced valve...

    Question for Zan

    @ZAN (or others who have done the following) I’ve heard that it’s possible to get Zan slugs without hollow points. I’m particularly interested in 16 and 20grain 177s. I heard that Zan will make them from existing molds with the HP filled in, adding 1-2 grains in weight and presumably...

    Huma Air - are they teleporting parts?

    I’m revamping my prod with a Huma reg and lightweight hammer from Hill airguns. Ordered the reg direct from Huma because I also needed a Huben reg, which I couldn’t find from a US vendor. I placed the German/Dutch Huma order and US-based Hill Airgun order on Monday AM. Which one do you think...
