There are thousands of almost identical Huben K1s in use. I've had a couple of them and they were excellent for their size, dependable semi-auto action, and easily adjustable power. Last year I asked Kelly at Krazcool airguns to customize a .25 K1 by shortening it by about 4 inches from the standard length.
The resulting shortened K1 is just under 28 inches in overall length. The modification turned out to be unexpectedly complicated due to the internal design of the shroud and barrel. All of the controls and the function of the shroud remain the same as before. I only did a brief power test on the K1 after purchase.
The price is $1,450 and includes shipping within the continental United States.
Here's part of a note I sent to Kelly at Krazcool shortly after getting the rifle;
"On a quick test the shortened carbine (produced) ~71fpe with ~160 on the reg and using 33.96gr King Heavies.... The snap of the report at that power level is still acceptable..."
I didn't compare higher regulator pressures or different pellet weights to determine the highest FPE combinations and never had the opportunity to check for accuracy. This was a custom build and I trust the quality of Krazcool's work.
I hesitate to sell it because of the amount of time, planning, effort, and expense that went into the modification of the barrel, shroud, air cylinder, and fore-stock. It's a unique K1 and it fits me perfectly. I shot a few targets when I got it and then it went back in the box. I still look at it once in a while and am very proud to own it, but the fact is that I'll never actually shoot it.
It will ship in the original box, along with a fill probe and a small bag of misc parts. No other items are included, the pictures show everything.
One of the pictures shows the K1 in the foam cutout for the larger standard model.
This sale is about owning something unique within a sea of generic K1s.
One of the attached pictures shows the shortened K1 next to standard length K1 so you can see the size difference more clearly.
PM with firm intent to buy and I'll send my PayPal address.
Thanks for looking!
