Thinking of getting one.
Anyone have "first hand" experience with one (any version) yet ?
Ha, forgot to do a search first..!

Kalibrgun Argus anyone ?

@mikeVV I was thinking the same thing. I sold my Impact MK II yesterday and have exactly enough cash for a EdGun Matador or Argus or Cricket II.
Does anyone know if the price in the USA is the same for the Cricket II and Argus as it is here in Europe?

The only thing that I don’t like about the Argus compared to the Cricket II is no external adjustment. I wondered why Kalibgrun went with this approach on the Cricket II but not on the Argus.

The Edgun R5M
Blackpaw -
The R5M is a long Lelya. I have a .22 Lelya. I see nothing wrong with the design. While I'm not necessarily a fan of the tensioned barrel, it seems to have mostly proven itself over time to be more than usable. I could probably poke holes in using it, but those holes may be a hard to do scenario in real life use. The cocking arm is just that, an arm, not a true "lever" that multiplies the effort. So cocking is a little more difficult than most other guns.
While I haven't taken it completely apart, mostly because I haven't needed to...I have no other problems with the guns design. This is coming from an Aerospace Test Engineer, so yeah, I do have just a little (over 35 yrs) mechanical background.

My Argus 60 is .30. My first hand is that it's a powerhouse and built like a tank. If the midwest ever thaws out I'll get it out to 50 and 100 and see what it does with pellets and slugs.
