*** SOLD ***
*** Actually I now believe that the manufacturer calls this configuration the 'Carbine' in black soft touch. To differentiate it from the shorter bullpup configuration of the M2 ***
I bought this rifle used from Utah Airguns a couple of years back on a whim. Just wanted to see what an Ataman shot like.
For my current backyard shooting with friends, I like an airgun which shoots like a scalpel. And to me for some reason this one shoots like a hatchet. Not that it is tuned too high (chrony numbers I have shows excellent accuracy of 18.13's at 953 fps). It is not too loud,as it is very backyard friendly. The trigger is smooth, clean and quite light. Yet somehow it feels like more of a hunter/pester to me, and I just shoot paper on my 25 yard backyard range any more. So this Ataman doesn't leave the gun rack in my study, and needs to move on.
It comes with the 2 magazines, the slip-on muzzle device (brake?), fill probe and owner's manual as shown in the pics. There are 2 small blemishes I find in the soft touch stock (which is nice and solid - likely wood and not some hollow plastic), shown in the close-up pics.
Also, it comes with the 2 non-functional magazines I received with it. It looks to me like they are just missing the little spring which holds the magazine's release lever. Likely something which you could find at a local hardware store, but I never shot the gun enough to go that far.
I noted this morning that the rifle's pressure gauge is off - reading LOW. It only showed 50 bar but when I went to top it off to test dry-fire it, it actually had something like 200 bar in it per my compressor's gauge. When I took it up to 3,000 psi (it is 300 bar working pressure), the on-gun gauge showed 100 bar, not the nearly 300 bar it should have shown. SO YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE GUN'S BUILT-IN PRESSURE GAUGE.
$465 payable with PayPal Friends & Family, including shipping CONUS.
First "I'll take it" wins.
Thanks,
