Macavity Arms My new Macavity Arms MA2

[JaceSpace1369]

The barrel on the MA2 standard is only 460MM too, at 975 psi it was still very consistent, I was shocked. 110 - 120 bar seems to be about right 1600-1750 ish

You will likely need closer to 130b, a buddy has a katran 177 long with the same barrel as I, but no plenum, and he shot the 10gr ko at 980 with his reg at 112b. Yeah that's some tight numbers and great shooting given the conditions!

The KO MK3s is about my favourite light thing in the slug DPT, very upsetting the new barrel for my Maverick will not handle them or any other slug.
But in my Two they shoot very fine, and my friend also like them in a few of his guns, the regular ones also fine, i have not tried the MK2 ones with the little skirt on them.

I am also going to revisit the two 700 mm FX barrels i cut the choke off, as i recall they also liked the 10 grainer KO slugs.

Man i wish JSB would reinvent their 13 gr slugs,,,,,, and make a 16 gr slug.

Ive been seeing a lot of budget PCP guys being able to shoot these 10 gr Knock outs well, one of the inspirations here is @PumaCarl results and praise from his Hatsan Vectis. The other reason I wanted to give this rifle a go and give .177 another chance is because of the advertised 150 shots per fill at current reg pressure with 9 grainers and the 3 magazines. This thing is gunna make relaxing shooting easy, as long as it shoots

Anyways , I know these rifles get a bad rep for their stock, I happen to know someone is working on a sporter style stock for these , when they will be ready? I don't know, nor do I truly care haha. With the recent PA code, this thing came in at under $400.00 with 3 magazines, AR furniture, and a "suppressor".


I don't see the bipod mounting picatinny rail being an issue for me with the type of shooting I do. If it is I will look to the terminador airtube clamp mount, and actually run it with the chinese accu tac wannabe legs (have a buddy who uses them and loves them honestly).

I am going to mount my Midas Tac Gen 2 5-30 on this thing.

WOW you had me worried for a minute ! (but you snuck your feet into one of the pictures ) waiting for your experience shooting your new gun .

snuck your feet into one of the pictures

I am thinking we airgunners need a 21:9 wide screen picture format on our phones, to not have those feet in the pictures.

Would love to see Macavity offer their rifle in an optional stock model. Something wood in a traditional design with a raised comb and long forearm.

They are supposed to be coming out with an MA3 that you are going to love. They showed it at SHOT but everyone only cared about the MA8, it stole the show.

So I took the rifle apart, honestly, nicer and easier than expected.

Set the reg to 1600, took it out and wallah! Got a worse chrono reading.

I said , this thing doesn't have enough ass on the hammer spring, so I pulled my jts out and pulled the stock hammer spring out of the bag of parts (still waiting on a barrel and I have a heavier spring for it anyways) , here's the difference in weight on the springs, the jts is quite a bit heavier. Same length too which is nice...

Loaded 5 rounds in a mag, aimed at a tree out my backdoor and boom, we there.

Time to test and fine tune this weekend.
