If im not mistaken i beleive it is housed in the shroud, around the barrel. I think thats how they did it on their other rifleIt’s interesting, but the devil is in the details as always. A couple of questions:
1. Where is the air?
2. Is that a plastic or aluminum chassis?
Yes exactly. Thanks sludgemaster for saving me the work of answering.Air is around the barrel just like in M24.. its M24 with alu chassis and mag fed.. bolt is plenum and it is fed from airchamber (one around barrel) with hose inside chassis/stock.
First of all, I thank everyone for their comments and I'm glad that you like the rifle, because for us it means giving it a significantly higher priority in our schedule than originally planned.

Well when i go shooting it is more like 800 - 1000 Shots. It can easy be 4 - 8 hours of shooting.When I go shooting, it's about 100-200 shots
I understand you, but 500+ shots in one session, say + 2 hours can be shot with pellets or very light slugs. When you switch to heavier slugs, it's physically and mentally quite demanding. Of course, physically not as much as with firearms, but you really have to concentrate on shooting. With a power of 40J with pellets, shooting is completely different and the only thing you have to deal with is the wind. Holding the rifle and other things are simple.Well when i go shooting it is more like 800 - 1000 Shots. It can easy be 4 - 8 hours of shooting.
Hence why i like single shot loading, CUZ using a magazine i shoot faster and my eye are glued to the scope, and i might be forgetting to blink the scope eye, anyway after a few hours i start to get what i call " scope eye"
Single shot loading and i have no problems as i remember to lean back and relax.
I also totally get what you say about shot count, and it do not bother me as i always shoot connected to a large bottle.
But i do think it is what hold many people back.
I would also prefer a larger reservoir even if it will probably be extremely rare that i would need that many shots on a walk.
It is sort of the same with slug weights, i prefer to shoot 13 grain, but i really would prefer if my rifle was also able to shoot 16 and 20 grain just as well, just in case i one day might need that.
I do very much appreciate your rifles look like the real thing, it is something i hope many more brands will start doing, and maybe could do more easy as new valve technology allow for better use of the air and so you do not need as big a reservoir to still have the same shot count, and personally i am very fine with 30 - 40 shots on a charge ( .177 ) It is not like i need / want 120 shots on a fill.
There are quite a few classic rifles i would like to have in a airgun version, especially if they was laser accurate.
Magazines, well in general it is only something i think about with semi automatic rifles,,,,, and here a rifle with a 10 shot magazine are just silly, but also big magazines that stick out of the side of the rifle, well also silly looking in my book, i would need to have a large specialized need to accept something like that.
It is also a reason i got a FX Maverick VS the Impact and its large magazine,,,,, the 21 shots in the Maverick magazine are plenty for me.
I do hope someone will be able to make a conventional magazine for slugs, CUZ you can not do that with pellets, but longer heavier slugs that are at least 1/3 longer than their diameter, it should be possible to stack them like a regular pistol magazine.
Any chance you could make a patch of those slugs in .224 size?I understand you, but 500+ shots in one session, say + 2 hours can be shot with pellets or very light slugs. When you switch to heavier slugs, it's physically and mentally quite demanding. Of course, physically not as much as with firearms, but you really have to concentrate on shooting. With a power of 40J with pellets, shooting is completely different and the only thing you have to deal with is the wind. Holding the rifle and other things are simple.
Otherwise the magazine is compatible with my 15.4mm long .22 slugs which are ready for a new world record. It's only 2.8 times the diameter, but magazine have a reserve ;-)
Certainly some customers will prefer another rifle for the reason that they want a higher shot count. I agree on this, it is due to the fact that we mainly create products that are special compared to the normal mainstream. At the same time, we are trying to change the paradigms of the industry itself. My prediction is for the future, not the immediate present. I myself remember when I solved the shot count, which was about 5-6 years ago. But I'm usually 2 years ahead of the current trend. While most had a power of around 40-50J and shot pellets, I already had a rifle with a power of 70-80J and shot slugs at hundreds of meters.But honestly that somebody wrote before me is very true. You are loosing a lot of customers just because no of your guns is capable for higher shot count.
I understand that you predict that everybody will be okay to shoot with these guns with bottle next of them but actually NO.
I have bottle also long hose everything but its not that comfortable. Also as now Im trying to sell it a lot of potentional buyers told me no and turned away when i told them it is capable only for 7 shots.
yes, you are right that the stock of the current M24 is probably the biggest weakness of the entire system. It can be shot accurately, but it requires unnecessarily demanding training and effort. Shooting from aluminum stocks is incomparably more comfortable and safer for the shooter, and at the same time brings a very good benefit in the form of increased weight of the entire system (yes, for many airgun shooters, the greater weight is a disadvantage, but that's only because they haven't yet had the opportunity to find out how difficult it is to shoot a 70 -100J with very light rifle).Not sure how this new one works but honestly the M24s stock is a terrible one. That plastic feels like im holding some airsoft in my hands or idk.
in this regard, I have to comment very critically on this information because no one reported this to us and I myself tried practically all slugs up to a weight of approx. 32 gr (KO, Javalin, HaN, ZAN, NSA) and we did not notice a problem with pushing into the barrel.The beginning of the barrel of M24 is too tight for lot of slugs. I did an experiment with 40 grain H&N ones but you need to hit the slug with the bolt about 5 times to be able to close it. After this torture it shoots them surprisingly well.
The rifle claims to be a slug with its performance, but it was originally built in 2011 and until 2018 only shot JSB Jumbo heavy pellets. I don't know what pellets you tried, but the M24 rifles I tested normally loaded JSB jumbo hevs just as well as slugs without any problems .I know this gun is not supposed to shoot with pellets but the loading of pellets into it is terrible you can not push them with the bolt directly into the barrel as some slugs (JSB KOs for example) but you have no place for your fingers to put them into barrel manually. Okay its possible to do but annoying.
ok, I take a small shot count, even though connecting the rifle to the bottle when shooting in a prone or benchrest position does not restrict the shooter in any way and provides more comfort (I don't have to monitor the pressure in the airtube and I don't waste air when venting the hose).So why i change from a 1100 euro gun to a 2300 one? This is why. For me personally with the slugs which i need to force into the barrel and need to refill after every 7th-8th shot is extremely annoying and its ruining the whole enjoy of shooting.
I consider this to be the biggest unfair contribution of the entire post. Refer to anonymous people. We have many repeat Slovak customers who have been buying from us consistently for years. They started with regulators and accessories, through the compressor multiplier to our PCP rifles and slugs. We regularly receive very good references from them both for the goods and for the customer approach. Of course, as everywhere, there are exceptions, but only exceptions in the form of a dissatisfied customerThe most of people in the local shooting clubs hating you for lot of things and most of them are having the reason.
