JTS Airacuda and Airacuda Max Introductions
- Thread starter Hajimoto
- Start date
One thing I’d like to see is the ability to change the side lever over to the left side. Other than that JTS hit a home run with these 2 guns

From the photos they've shared over on GTA, looks to simply be the configuration where the transfer port isn't drilled in the barrel but rather a separate brass piece, kinda like the FX soda straw barrel configuration.
I think I saw Motorhead say it's threaded on this JTS gun though, so can't be clocked/indexed.

Correct ... was originally stated to be a thimble which would allow barrel clocking independent of transfer port, but it screws on so that really makes it a breech extension of barrel ... may have been a lost in translation moment .. Oups

It sure can be clocked, indexed
Once you do you set the barrel with the nut you see backing the shroud into the action.

Stated correctly .. the thimble MUST BE CLOCKED & the barrel rotation to find best position in 360* cannot.

I am going to keep and eye on how this new offering progresses. To see Scott weighing in with nothing negative on top of the fact that Hajimoto is promoting the company, and the price point (wut!?!), this is something to watch.

Here is my personal .22 MAX set up for some Field Target duty in "Hunter PCP" class.
While .22 is not ideal for FT ... it can be used w/o issue outside easier splits and a loopier trajectory profile.
Going to shoot DIABLO match next weekend with it and see how it does.

I set my Max .25 at 30 FPE getting a bunch of shots and if I set the regulator lower I should get quite a few more.
Ok here we go,
Filled to 200 BAR
I think the regulator is set around the 140 BAR mark and you will see the spike in velocity around shot 45.
I then stopped when the velocity was back around 750 fps and the gun was down to 90 BAR
This is with 25gr JSBs

Neal Clague makes LDCs that tread directly into the shroud,...he even makes fantastic Reflexed LDCs
Just ask him to make an LDC for a Rainstorm since they share the same shrouds measurements

Thanks Manny. So let me ask you, do you think a Airacuda plan in .22 would be a good small game hunter?
Upvote 0
Plenty of metal on the standard model cap to turn it down and thread for an ldc. I'll be doing that to all the ones I offer.

Manny I know you cannot really decide what others might want but out of the two for hunting would you choose. Remember I am going for .22 cal. I need it to be a swishsssss. The entire reason I am playing with air is to not have to hear bang. I am hoping to dump more time into the pcp world then my powder burners.
thammer that threaded shroud sounds great.
