The factory has since 4 1/2 months no Colibri produce.
A friend who works in the factory told me that.
Therefore, they are hard to become.
I want one, but have been waiting for 6 months now :/

I bought one the other week. Only saw them a few weeks ago but had to have one as they looked so awesome!
Found out the were discontinued and sold out everywhere. Saw one second hand for £200 more (which sold) than the new EU price!
After a lot of searching online I found a seller in Spain who had a few of them and ordered one. They've since sold their last ones.
I put a (not very inormative admitedly) vid of my unboxing on youtube.

Just bought a chronograph to set mine up to 11lbft as they come with a 5.5lbft spring from EU, assume that's encase of German buyer. They do come with the full power spring but that's 30+lbft
Love them!

What a beautiful gun, such a shame that it was discontinued . Very nice video MrAirgun, thanks for sharing it with us.

Used to own one that turned into like 3 and 4 returns. Which made that rifle a.....hunk a junk. JUST MY OPINION.

I really like the Colibri. It's just such a unique machine. I had one sent to me on loan for about a month and while I was a little skeptical at first, I warmed to it very quickly and soon I couldn't put it down
The inly issue I had was blowback (sometimes I'd get a puff of air on my cheek...no joke, it gave me a few bruises!). The gun was soon discontinued because of problems like this.
I really wish they could iron out the kinks and keep producing it! I know I would buy one if I knew the issues were sorted out.

Hey matt, same poop here. Just tried and tried, cause I loved it! It just would not stop with all the bad malfunctions.

I have one, mine had a little blow back just once in awhile, mostly with heavier pellets. Always with copper coated Beemans . Then I came up with the idea to take baffles out, did away with blowback 100 percent . It also is more accurate w/o them. The other issue I still have , every once in a while it does not fire when I pull the trigger, just makes a lite pop. When this happens I just cock it again and it shoots fine. Don't know why it does this. Then it may not do that for a few mags. Not a serious problem, just an annoyance. But the thing is just awesome accurate with jsb 18 grains. I put a MTC Connect on it and the little thing is like an extension of you. I never had a more natural shooting combination. Best offhand gun I have shot in nearly 50 years of shooting. I took a lot of tree squirrels with it this season. Oh, I don't think it is much louder w/o the baffles. It is so sad that they could not get this thing to work 100% in Semi Auto. Would have been awesome.

Its sick how many top notch manufacturers are throwing out guns that have issues and then the consumers have to deal with all the problems of 1k+ air rifles. What the hell happened to testing it before you sell it and quality control!?

Profiteering, quality control costs money.
The material value of the guns are no more than 100$.

I've always liked the looks of the Colibri. I was on the original waiting list. It's too bad they couldn't work the kinks out of the semi-auto model. So how come the repeater didn't get more traction?"MrAirgun"

The repeater had a lot of problems as well. Many of them that were sent to a tuner I think In NJ, have had very good luck with theirs. The company owner I bought mine from went over it real well before he sent it out & fixed the problems most people had. Mine actually functions 98% now. But for a grand & a half anything less than 100 percent is really not acceptable to most. With that said I would not sell mine for 5000.00 and doubt if anyone would give me 500.00 for it. It is a squirrel killing machine & a joy to shoot. Here is a photo of mine.

I've got a few Colibri's and they are all crazy consistent, they'll make you check your chrono! These are the only Kalibrguns I've owned are the Crickets as consistent? None of my other regulated guns are as consistent.

Kfastman my 25 which has been tuned by Ernest Rowe is spooky consistent AND accurate . Honestly couldn't say if that's the case when untuned . I dont get attached to any gun except my Dad's I inherited ....That being said , my Cricket aint going Nowhere !!! All my other guns are basically rentals. Lol...I bore easy and try a new toy soon as the new wears off.
My buddy DonnyDu has me wanting a Colibri . He swears by his

Be interestingif they did another but part if me hopes they make it look different as I like the fact it's a relatively rare gun.
Mine would be the last gun I sold, and I have a few!
