Are you using Essentium, or something else?@TeslaToTheMoon
Sounds good. I'm glad that you found it useful
I've had similar ideas regarding non symmetrical silencers or even other options. I've had great success with this in the past on shrouded PCP's. Back in the day, CNC was the only option. 3D printing makes prototyping much simpler and more fun. Btw, I find PCTG much less brittle than ASA. But both are geat materials.
Yep, that's my expectation too, unfortunately I didn't realize until after I placed the order that the .250s are too small for Hubens, that's when I placed another order for the 38.5gr .254s.
I'm also considering some MrHollowPoint 43gr .253s to order/test eventually. Those are super expensive, so they'll have to be really accurate and perform really well on the ballistic gel for me to buy a decent number of those. I'm coming at it from a self-defense perspective, so I'm interested in accuracy, energy, ballistic gel performance, and reliability of cycling. It will be interesting to see how long it is before someone has a machinist cut back and rethread the barrel and reservoir on one of these to make them better for concealed carry, I'm hoping someone else does it relatively quickly, so I don't end up making myself the guinea pig lol. I think the shroud/front post of the iron sight should be easy enough to model and 3D print a shorter replacement for. I'm of the philosophy that is better to use something lower powered for self-defense that you can train regularly with than something that makes a big bang and you hardly ever get to train with. A quarter turn pocket suppressor would also be nice to help prevent the deaf post encounter standard, assuming a situation in which you actually have the time to equip it.
It was installed by Kelly before he shipped it. It's aftermarket, but I don't know where he sourced them. He will be sending me the Huben adapter once he receives them, which will probably ship with the second batch.
You don't see the aluminum once a thread protector or ldc is installed so shouldn't matter much!
I tried some ZAN 38 grain .253s in my rifle. They did better than NSA .250s by a lot but the heavier, longer AVS .254s were even better. For what it's worth.Yep, that's my expectation too, unfortunately I didn't realize until after I placed the order that the .250s are too small for Hubens, that's when I placed another order for the 38.5gr .254s.
It has no moderation as it is currently shipping (with the exception of possibly from Kraz Cool Air Guns), Huben will be shipping adapters out in a couple of months it sounds like. The best option right now is to get an adapter from Kraz Cool Air Guns or Ares Airguns Tactical who are having some made custom in the meantime.
Well done. This is probably the next best alternative to purchasing an adapter in alu. A hybrid
If everything holds together well, then it wouldn’t matter. But it’s notable that Huben didn’t put a mounting option on the action and perhaps that’s why…
Hey Mike
The Hatsan .25 moderator works great with my Evanix Viper, as it's slim. So it should work with the GK1 as well. It is a bit long, but it's pretty cheap. It reduces the sound by about 60%.
Specs say it's 31mm in diameter, so the front sight will be below the top edge of the moderator. In order to be able to use the iron sights, the moderator can't be any larger than about 25mm in diameter. I e-mailed Huub at Huma-Air to see if they have any plans on making a smaller diameter modular moderator, but have not heard anything.
