JKhan Owners

"rwsmike"I have a feeling these airguns are basically evanix airguns with a different co name on them .
You are correct, parts are made for both brands by renowned company there, that makes automobiles, high speed trains, etc. So the CNC machinery that makes them is top notch.

JK is basically Rainstorm action with different trigger group and style of the receiver. Also JK brand gives you premium walnut stocks, that are seen only on high end guns at no extra cost. The Krossa bullpup feels amazing.. balance and everything is perfect. I would say it is the best korean made pup out there. Also how they have designed trigger linkage on the Krossa is very smart and effective, there is no trigger blade wobble at all.

.177-.25 use Walther made barrels. 9mm use Japan made Chrome moly bores. All barrels are mirror polished. Real pretty to take a look inside them. In .22 these put out 40fpe in .25 almost 60fpe.. in 9mm close to 150fpe.

If there is anything these guns need; that would be lighter triggers, and some type of inserts in the shrouds so it can be called a "shroud". And I would add a regulator too. But as is JK as well as Evanix, come really close to Europeans rifles. What makes euro guns better is butter smooth and crisp triggers. But you are paying twice for it.

So overall they are a solid deal, well build rifles, that are just a little behind European brands that we all love like Air Arms, Daystate and FX. Walnut stocks I say just about match Minelli quality.

"billydjann"JKhan Krosa Noblesse ( owners )...
Could you give an honest opinion of this gun..... the .25 caliber looks very interesting indeed.
Give me your thoughts of the good and the bad.... how do they stack up to other bullpups....
I see a regulator and silencer are now offered as well.

Thanks in advance
Factory ldc is a hollow tube btw. :)

but yes, according to today standards all airguns should be regulated. But again you usually loose power in .25 with the regulator installed. And it also depends on who installs the reg and how it is done and what volume is behind the reg, transfer ports size become vital, especially in .25 and > cal it matters to sustain velocity. From what I was told the .25's come with a 1:14 twist rate barrels, so these do better on higher speeds as far as accuracy goes. Ideally, sure it would be great if these would come with 400cc air tubes, running on 300bar, with regs set at 150-170bar in .25 cal. But on a 280cc from 200bar a regulator won't do much in .25 and above, say if they set the output to 150bar.

How do they compare to other bp's? I would say if one cannot afford a Cricket, Bobcat, Wildcat or Pulsar, I would seriously consider the Krossa. And I will tell you why. Rainstorm platform is proven, gun uses a one piece receiver block to assemble the action. They mount the barrel good length in the receiver block too. Fit and finish is good also.. Side lever mechanism is very smooth. Gun comes with a long Picatinny rail, so one can put a night vision unit very easily. The stock shape on these just feels really good when you shoulder it, gun is very pointable. Pressure gauge is underneath the stock. 17-25 cal use LW barrels, the 9mm uses chrome moly Japanese bore. Mirror polished barrels too. And parts for the rifles are build by a very large and reputable well know factory not only in Korea but worldwide. QC is tight because CNC machinery is top notch. So there is no gamble like say buying a Chinese import pcp from completely unknown source of manufacturing. Walnut stocks are superb, and some come with a very interesting patterns.

So I would put them in the top 4-5 pups you can buy right now, for any money. And out of all the Korean "variants" of these, because of stock design, clean overall design, and trigger linkage, and trigger blade form, in my view they are the best Korean made bullpup out there, when you look at form-function, price and barrel choice.

Rifle version btw, also come with weaver rails on top, that are machined into the receiver. So you can use qd rings for easy scope or nv unit mounting.

Overall they do give a lot of gun for the price with a German Walther made or Japanese barrels. And the mags are all metal, not made from plastic, and they cycle real well too. And the guns are equiped with anti double load mechanism.
 
"Mr.Gadgets"
I'm sitting on the fence about buying the .22 because I can't find any info on it. Hope someone can offer some reviews here on either gun.

In .22 you will get more shots that is all.. Walther barrels always shoot straight :) It is good that an Asian manufacturer realized it right from the start.
People choose the .25 cal because of almost 60fpe :) that makes it a good hunter and retains good shot count. And in a bullpup version these things are really wicked, in all black tactical look.

9mm version is a pure hunter.. Something Manny (Nomadic Pyrate) can use for his hunt films. So don't be on the fence with these, if they appeal to you, get one, you will not be disappointment.
 
The weight is about average on these compared to many others guns. The stocks themselves yes are very well build.

here is the actual weight of the unscoped guns.

Noblesse Walnut Thumbhole rifle 7.6lbs/3.44kg
Noblesse Sepatia black rifle 8.15lbs/3.69kg
Noblesse sepatia black bullpup 7.14lbs/3.23kg

You can compare that to Daystate Air Ranger weight for example of 9lbs/4kg..Pulsar 8.3lbs, FX Bobcat 7.8lbs, Kalibr Cricket 7.75lbs
The only minus I see so far out of the box, is the trigger pull of about 2 lbs.. Definitely long ways away from an LG110 :) but better then say on M-Rod. Trigger pull and overall trigger feel on the bullpups feels better then on the rifles, maybe it just has to do with adjustments. It is still not a Bobcat trigger experience, lightness and crispness, but more close to Cricket type of a experience. And better compared to it's Evanix 3D direct rival.

So far out of everything I have seen out of Korea, SamYang Sumatra triggers at least by feel have felt the nicest. But not on the same level as Air Arms, HW100, Daystate and FX.. This is the biggest point where European guns excel. Steyr trigger system that is in itself in a whole other league. And speaking of nicest triggers btw, on guns under $1,000 I would have to give it to Airforce rifles.
 
For guns in under $1K price range I would have to put these in the top 3 choices. Up there with the Condor, its cousin Evanix Rainstorm, Sumatra 500cc and Hatsan Galatian. What makes JK line more attractive buy then RS in a rifle version, would be a choice of walnut stock and LW barrel, + machined weaver rails on top of the receiver.

JK bullpup is unique, in looks that is. Cool package. And If one cannot buy a Cricket, or Bobcat get the Krossa simply because for the price there is nothing better as of yet. Finding a nice bullpup in under $800-900 today is almost impossible with the same kind of quality and power.
 
"LEE-IN-VA."Yeah, thanks AA for all the info. I'm wanting a bull pup and still been considering this one.
it is 95% Blizzard/Rainstorm gun with different style receiver, and trigger group. And from what I understand next year Sig Sauer will sell something made there too, under their brand. So hey there will be more options, I guess the style of the stock will be a deciding factor. :) But JK stuff is AA OK :) putting LW barrels is a good choice. And many dealers that sell them, should actually tell that. Good selling point. I will upload more pics of these, of the actions too, and how things fit together..
 
Other than the fact that Evanix and Jkhan seem to both use the same manufacturing partner (Hyundai), what makes people think that the Jkhan Krosa is a Rainstorm in a different stock? Is this just a guess or has it been confirmed as a fact? I didn't think that Evanix used WL barrels and the mags aren't compatible with each other as far as I can tell? I've also been led to believe that the Jkhan is a much quieter gun.

Does anyone know if there are different grades of WL barrel or does a .25 Jkhan Krossa use the same barrel as a .25 Cricket? I know the Krosa barrel is shorter so other than that.

One area the Krosa looks similar to other Korean guns is that it seems to be designed to work best with heavier pellets. Under the description of the 35g Jkhan branded pellets, it states that they were specifically designed for the Krosa (although they look identical to the 35g Eun Jin pellets). 

On a different note, the small number of reviews, accuracy tests and shot strings I have seen on YouTube make the Jkhan look like an absolute bargain compared to the European bullpups. I am actually torn between buying a Krosa and a Cricket. I have the money for either but I could buy a .25 and a 9mm Krossa for the price of a .25 Cricket. Is there any reason for the an average hunter to spend the extra on Cricket, Wildcat or Edgun these days? I am not a competitive target shooter and I take zero pleasure from hitting paper. I'm more of a squirrel serial killer. I hunt in forests so I rarely get a shot further out than 50 yards but accuracy is important as squirrels have tiny heads.

The Krosa is being offered with a regulator now so I am assuming that it would perform consistently if I wanted it to. I would love to hear a view on one from someone who also owns either a Cricket or a Wildcat but I guess that's unlikely. I guess I am looking to hear someone tell me that the Cricket is noticeably better and worth spending the extra cash.

I would especially like that Ted guy to review the Krosa. He's also a hunter and bullpup fan so it would interesting to see how he likes them in comparison to his beloved FX and Edguns. 

One more thing.... The word "too" is used for "too much" or "I like that too". The word "to" is used for "I am going to the park". I know they sound the same but they aren't!
