Huben k1 questions

[lancehenley1]

Just got a Huben K1. Has anybody installed a picatinny rail for bipod. If so, which one did you use. 

Also, I know donnyfl makes an adapter for a moderator. Just wanted to see if anybody had done this and how hard it was to install.

Use oil or grease on ALL OF the threads involved including LDC. Mines pretty damn stuck to the endcap after I screwed it in!

Hang on in there, Most Huben owner on here I have seen do have pic rails fitted, one of them will answer you.

I have a Caldwell Pick rail installed on my Huben. Very easy to install (just need t sling stud/screw) and nice and stable. Reasonable price as well.

I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B6S8IOY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Super easy to install, very staple and also purchase a screw in sling stud like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MLXJW55/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Piece of cake. Good luck

Lance, the link that mvonbeamer listed is the one that I used. Just need a screw in sling stud per the second link they gave. 

Very easy and solid.

I bought both of those. Got it installed but I seem to have not needed the sling swivel screw in the second link.. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.

If your Huben already had a sling swivel attached then you did not need it. If there was not a sling swivel like mine. Then the Swivel needed to be screwed into the stock first and then the Caldwell Pick rail is attached to it. Here is a video of someone attaching it to a rifle with a sling swivel already attached. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBHjMK1wJDE Hope this helps

I found on mine that the Donny FL didn't do much over the factory shroud. It is on of the only guns I own where I didnt keep a aftermarket moderator on it.

 

[lancehenley1]

That was what i was wondering. It seems louder than my .25 impact. So didn't know if a moderator would help quiet it down some.

The Huben factory shroud is vented through the small holes at the end of the moderator tube. A lot of sound goes out of these holes along with high velocity air. The effectiveness of any threaded on moderator on the muzzle end will always be limited by this. I have seen 25mm x 23mm carbon fiber moderator tubes fabricated with no vent holes to help reduce noise from this problem area. A simpler fix is to wrap black vinyl electrical tape (1 layer ) around the moderator tube to cover the holes. Then add your moderator of choice.

Another solution is to get rid of the stackable inserts and roll up some thin cardboard into a tube and put it in the shroud. It will expand and cover up all the holes from the inside. Now screw on your own LDC/moderator/silencer...

Yes, thanks MartinT, an excellent idea for a simple fix. Definitely remove the inserts to increase moderator volume for sound dampening. Soft foam dampeners for the back end of the moderator tube are available from Silent Thunder Ordinance. These reduce sound rebounding in the moderator tube.
