I just picked up a Wicked Air Rifle WARP in both .25 and .30 Calibers. All I got was the gun and I would be most appreciative in someone would fill me in on whatever information they could offer regarding personal experience with this model, and, dare I ask, does anyone have an owners manual for the same that they would like to part with or copy and send to me? ~ Bill (deerflyguy)
Need any Information on Wicked Air Rifle WARP Model .25/.30 Caliber
- Thread starter deerflyguy
- Start date
Not sure what you knew previous to purchase ? Business history of the brand etc ?
WAR was a small manufacturing venture by Jim Gaska who also ran a web AG business known as MARMOT MILITIA if IIRC was in Kentucky ?
His marketing guy & final assembly employee was Travis Whitney here in California.
The guns came to market @ 2011/12 and were made in a couple base formats WARP & FLEX. Over the @ 7-8 years of manufacture went threw some design & offered options / set up specs. The company both MM and WAR closed up shop IIRC about 2018-19 and all that was went away overnight.
No parts, No support, no nothing. Great guns, easy to work on, parts really don't fail and what does many AG enthusiasts can or get fabricated.
* There never was an Instruction manuals ever made best I know.
As a real Pet Peeve
100% of all the web forum data / posts for WAR guns were deleted from public record with Travis purchased the GTA forum in about 2020. As was all the JSAR data as well
I still own mine ( Parts for both WARP & FLEX ) to this day.

Now all that sad truth aired .... If OP would like specific help on his journey in knowing his new PCPS ?
There are a few of us here who know them inside out & backwards, Retrofits possible and a SLEW of modifications & Set up's one could build.

WOW! Yes, what y'all have brought to light has been most informative and explains why doing a normal informational search has resulted in pitifully scant results. Curious that Travis felt it necessary to purge the GTA forum of all informative and historical data regarding products manufactured by WAR & JSAR?

To post anything on said subject could be viewed as slander ..... tho 2 sides of every story in history.

I would like to revive this thread. Let’s get a section going on these amazing rifles that are now rare and unknown. I recently picked up this pre owned .25 late model WARP, and @Motorhead has been a fantastic resource. I want to make some more posts and share with others

Firstly, on the warp models like mine that have the drop block regulator, the regulator is held on by the air pressure- at 0 pressure, the block is loose and wiggly. I think its designed like this so you can adjust the reg pressure using this adjustment screw on top .
I am currently researching how to adjust the hammer spring tension

Need to see the BOTTOM of reg/ drop block.
It would seem weird an adjustment wound be blind sitting under barrel shroud, but whats being pointed at is where the inner spool is assembled into block from.
Generally is such design the seat adjuster to change pressure would be at the other end of block ( Bottom )
I never worked with this reg version as it was only made in the last year or so of production.

Ohhh I think you’re right- i think these are the respective regulator pressure and hammer spring tension adjustment screws

I am having trouble de-gassing the gun currently- I can’t seem to find a safe way to do it. The burst disc wont budge with the nut

Pic #1 on bottom will be seat adjuster to change pressure ... CW lowers set point, CCW Raises set point.
**** YOU CAN ONLY go CCW to raise set point while rifles pressurized.
To lower set point the bottle must already be below the current set point pressure or damage to sealing seat will occur.
Place a SOCKET on burst disk hex, not a flat to flat wrench. It will loosen with enough torque applied.
And "YFS" is the screw for removing stock from action ...
