Yes, I own Cricket .25. I have been meaning to make a video about it, but this gun is so good that no modification is needed and most my videos are about modifications... I will make a review of it, it is the most accurate gun in my collection.
At what altitude above sea level are you shooting? Also, what are your drop values at say 100 metres in order to calculate the ballistic co-efficient for the piledriver pellets. Thanks for a great review. You nailed it.
I am shooting at about 270 - 300 m. Unfortunately the piledrivers are not accurate and I do not use them. Their diameter is too small. I talk to H&N at IWA about that. I mostly shoot my own cast bullets. I will be making a video about that. Mold and sizing die will be available for purchase. They weigh 37 gran and have BC of 0,14 (I measured it at that same velocity) and very accurate.
Nice review and valuable information about the Heuben rifle, but the excessive force is not useful. The best power for hunting and shooting at a distance of up to 300 meters is from a force of 80 joules to a force of 90 joules on lead bullets from 25 green to 34 green for caliber 5.5 and the speed ranges between 270 meters to 290 meters This force is sufficient to kill the largest prey, but raising the regulator to its maximum will cause damage to the flower in the future.
Very cool Gregor! I know you've been waiting for this one for a while. I haven't watched the full videos yet, I'm commenting first. I'm going to watch now. I may email you later.. Nick
Just for fun I tried beast at about 210 bar regpressure. Made the same energy as you did with the piledrivers, about 120 Joule :-D The JSB Beast at 330 m/s is incredible from a 600mm barrel.
Hi, Gregor. You continue to do very good job in your videos,as always very informative and well explained.I was wondering if you have the possibility to try a 22 SHORT bullet with that barrel.This type of bullet probably will handle well the twist rate on your barrel since they work in 1/ 20" twist rate barrels.You maybe know that, but on Lothar Walther`s web you can order pretty much any kind of barrel.Won't be cheap tho :)
+admin mod Hi. I agree, it would probably work. But is is near impossible to get only bullets and I live in a country that requires a licence to buy live ammunition (you have to have the same caliber firearm registered...). And even if I did, I would have to take each round out of the case.... I have already installed 22LR barell form LW in my huben. It works great with JSB Beasts (34 grain) they are now stable, all I have to do is make them go faster than 1000 fps :) The JSBs are available cheap (at least here in Europe) and accurate. I am preparing a video form more details.
+Gregor Kamenšek Hi.I know that it`s pretty difficult to find those bullets,maybe a friend with firearm license,or just googling the exact dimensions,make them and find if it will work or not.Actually my idea was swaging the .22 piledrivers into 22 short bullets :) they are the same weight:30 grains .A good machinist to make the tools an just hammering those pellets into bullets :)I think you did the right thing changing the barrel,its the best thing to do in this case, I think so, because paying that amount of money for the gun and doing projectiles XVIII century style its not a good thing. Waiting for the video with the new barrel!Huben K1 in .25 cal or .30 would be a killer. Regards
+admin mod I have one comment about that. It is a semi auto arigun. I would have to hire to be able to cast and swage as fas as I shoot :) I agree with you but not that heavier pellets are available for low price and are accurate, it makes no sense to do that. I would like to find a heavier pellet that JSB Beast though (about 40 grain) though...
Helloo Gregor now i set the rifle in 50 joules and shoot head shots on pigeons and rabbits at 50m with hp 14.3grains ..,this rifle is awesome incredible accurate !!i love it !!!!!
Kamensek Gregor Hello ! It looks very interesting Huben K1 regarding its trigger mechanism , but disappointing performance in clusters. The Lothar Walther barrel has Huben ? I'm from Argentina and arrive here in a month. I would like to buy one , but I'm not sure after seeing the video.
+Bianchi M The barrel is high quality but it is a pellet barrel. That is why it is not as good with bullets. I am hoping that it will do better with the new JSBs. I will make a new video when I receive them. I also intend to case some heavier bullets (just under 40 grains) and try them out.
+Bianchi M Absolutely! This gun groups extremely well with this energy! The only problem I have so fare is with heavier bullets like 25 grain JSB monster or Piledrivers.... But I know what is the problem with the Piledriver, the ones I have have 5,52 diameter and they are too small for the barrel. I am trying to get them in 5,6mm...
+Gregor Kamenšek Gregor Hello ! You have solved the preblemas in clusters of K1 ? What is your favorite pellet for K1 ? I hope my K1 and I am very anxious !
thats a brilliant review,,,thanks for that and would love that gun,,,it looks like it will be an awsome hunting gun and lots of fun on the range when sorted,,,brill and thanks,,,jez
Gregor, Very good reviews. Have you tried the EunJin 28 GRN & 32.4 GRN pellets? they are diablo pellets and may perform acceptable at air gun velocities producing high energy. (may not be stable pass super sonic velocity.) in your First Impressions Part 2 video it would be good if we actually knew where your actual aim point was on the target and your group sizes at 50 yds. & 70 yds.(more k1 reviews please) thanks keep up the good reviews.
+Gary HI. Thank you! I have just ordered EunJin 28 GRN for a test. 32,4 grn do not fit in the magazine as far as I know (too long). I agree about the groups and video is not very good, I was too eager and in a hurry to try everything I forgot to put in the video some information. The long range groups were at 70 meters (76 yards). Best groups are under 3 cm (about one inch...) with H&N Baracuda pellets. JSB heavy does not group so well, JSB moster is extremely unstable (even with lower velocities), I hope the new JSB Jumbo Beast (33 - 35 grain) will do better. We have very bad weather here and I am waiting to do another long range video as soon as it clears up...
+Gregor Kamenšek Same issue, posted it on the AGN thread that they did not fit. They looked good and I had hope that the EunJin would work.Let us know on the JSB Jumbo Beast! I have the same issue with weather, it is springtime in MT USA!
+wlbrycemt So far, JSB Jumbo Beast is the best heavy pellet I have tried at 25 meters. I have just received 5 thins + 1 free (courtesy of JSB). I will let you know how it does at 70 meters...
+wlbrycemt Let me know how UltraShock pellets work. These are not topically in our stores but I will order them if they turn out to be accurate. BTW, JSB Monster are terrible unstable, in all my airguns. I am mentioning this because Monster weighs the same as UltraShock, but the design is different so they might be accurate...
I don't own (and have never tested it) Edgun, I do have Cricket in .25 and that gun is just amazingly accurate. If you sort you pellets you can get MoA accuracy. Huben on the other hand is great because of its features (not only semi auto function but the operation and the power it can deliver). But you will be limited to only one pellet and one power setting if you want is to be accurate and even then you will have flyers. I have put in this gun a lot of time and I still cannot tell what is the reason for the accuracy problems. Custom barrel does help but there are still occasional flyers... Don't get me wrong, the gun is a work of art, extremely well built and very reliable!
alexander, your regulator is the screw inside the stock, but when you adjust it to 200 bar: CLOSE the POWERWHEEL first (the powerwheel controls the valve to let out a certain amount of air, too much and air will blow out of the barrel and the pellet will never be accurate) Then start opening up the wheel again slightly to test the amount of power. (if you leave it full open then you will only waiste air and accuracy). If you want this gun to shoot accurate at high power (supersonic) dont even try pellets but buy solids (boat tail)
Hello Gregor, great video thank. i have a question. i am from Holland and i have also a Huben K1 and i love it. But my Huben slowly leaks air...i dont hear it, but after a copple days the pressure is les. i went to the shop and mister Fred replace the o ring from the mano meter, but it still leaks. if i gently move up the little lever of the magazine releaser i hear some air escaping. is this normal? do you have any idea what it can be. sorry for my terrible english. greetings from Holland. Peter.
I recently had a similar problem. In my case it was the o-ring on the 2,5 mm pin that rotates the magazine. The dimension for this o-ring is 2,5 x 1 mm I believe. You should get NBR 90 material, it will last longer. You should be able to find it if you watch my disassembly video. You can access it by removing the bras nut that is under the plastic where you load the pellets. DO NOT FORGET TO DRAIN THE AIR FIRST BY ROTATING THE REGULATOR ANTI CLOCK WISE UNTIL ALL THE AIR DRAINS OUT OF THE REGULATED CHAMBER!!!!
Watch my Huben disassembly video from 16:00 on... You will understand what o-ring I am talking about. It is the o-ring on the steel pin, not the one on the brass.
Hello Gregor, i checked the littele o ring, and i found 2. size is 2.5x1 and the one ho sits deep into the block was worned/damged. i order nbr 90 shore rings, and i order siliconengrease. but i have question about de brass screw? do i turn it in all the way. my was not tight, and slightly loose. is this normal for adjust or someting. Greetings from Holland, Peter
How does the behavior of it fill the cylinder with 200bar and leaving the regulator at 130/140 bar working pressure using 18gr plugs, and its autonomy?
I have not really shot a lot with 18 pellets... But you can set the regulator down to 90 bars for these light pellets and you still can get very high velocity... You get a loot shoots!!!
That is probably because my gauge display too high pressure. But if I go too far with the pressure, It just passes all of the air through. I think they limite this in the newer version...
yes that is!! ...i put max at 200 bar MAX, no get any more now ..,but puting the down wheel in "4" the velocities get higher!!!! im in 106 joules MAX with a 39 pellet and 90 joules with jsb 25 ...the rifle is terrific ACCURATEE!!!!!! im impress thanks again !!!
It will work but you have to limit it yourself by setting appropriate reg pressure and power wheel. I don't think you can purchase it with limited power... You can ask you distributor about that.
@@ehogimeno Ok, I understand. The problem is that I do not know how they limited it. There are a lot of ways to do that and I cannot help you just through texting...
The ideal speed for most pellets is 900 fps or 270 m/s , your set was to high and it should be not accurate, what you did not show the real capability of this rifle. i hope that you reduce the speed and give it a try
+Saleh Magrabi own many airguns in different caliber and have a lot of experience in pellet stability. To assume that all pellets in all barrels like the same same velocities is a mistake. Traditional airgun barrels with traditional pellets that are relative lightweight will prefer around 900 fps (274 m/s), some even less. Huben is not a traditional airgun and the pellets that I would like to use in it are not traditional. If you are looking for an airgun to shoot traditional pellets at 40j then you should not wast you money on Huben. There a tons of airguns that are cheaper than Huben that have great accuracy. Huben is about going to the limit with a limited power source. Obviously I have showed the chrony results just to show you the capabilities of the Huben, I would never shoot at those velocities with those pellets. The best group that I have shown in this video is with Baracuda Match at 305 m/s (1000fps). I have shown this group because it was the best I could get, Baracuda match did not shoot well in this gun at 800 fps or 900. I have tried it and shown you best performance. I have even tested the gun at 16 j (12 ft-lbs). Take a look at my latest video with Huben and see the accuracy I am getting now with a different barrel na 34 grain pellets and the wind was blowing like crazy. In conclusion: everything has variables that you have to take them into account, everything is relative. (I think that someone already said that before :))
hi greg .. i have problem with my huben. 1rst time to use for shooting and suddenly ... pressure air leaking somewhere at magazine. i tried open and disassemble part. barrel and tank. no sign of pellet jam as ive seen inside barrel . reciver should be the problem i think. everytime i pull the trigger stil leaking somewhere in magazine and its not turning . donu have facebook or whatsap number ... that i can call u ...thank u.
@@gregorkamensek3923 thank u . i already sort out the problem. theres a spring underneath the magz which i tried re align. and the magazine already rotating.
+Jeremy Rayner I assume it will, I have not tried for accuracy at those powers but there is no reason why it would not be accurate. But the problem is that it can be adjusted to higher power and will probably not be legal... Also semi-auto rifles are prohibited in UK as far as I know.
+Gregor Kamenšek My understanding is that semi is perfectly legal here under sub12 but above this it becomes a section 5 firearm. Same as the Styre H5 which is semi and sold here in the UK. As for the power issue, this can be tuned so that the max power the dial will provide is sub12 and cannot be taken over but only down.
+UKRifles OK, I understand. My suggestion is that you contact Huben and ask them if they will built a version of K1 with power limitation. So far I have not seen or heard anything about K1 with limited power, but I can test for accuracy at 12 fb for you and let you know if you like.
Nice rewiev. Not any airgun shoot long range acurit if pellet leav barrel supersonic. Because it drops to subsonic before target and from supersonic to subsonic cause inacuracy. I never have see any airgun shoot good if supersonic, same what twisrate barrel. My airguns, Airforce Condor .22 cal. FAC. Steyr 110 HP .177 cal, Steyr 110 Field Target FAC. Steyr 110 HP .22 cal, Eunjin Sumatra FAC .22 cal, Daystate Air Ranger .22 cal FAC. My friends have big bores up, to .50 cal. That Huben seems to be nice, exept trigger.
You are absolutely right. I was only demonstrating the potential power of the Huben. I would never shoot for accuracy supersonic although I must say that is is surprisingly accurate with JSB beast at 70 meters @345 m/s (but with the custom thicker barrel)...
+Gary Billington Hi. I have recently changed the barrel on my Huben with .22LR (LW). An I have great results. I will finish my video in a day or two and post it to UA-cam... I don't think I will try smooth twist because I am satisfied with .22LR, but from my understanding smooth twist would not be a good choice for such high power... I might be wrong though ...
hi, i assumed with the impact and boss being in excess of 80ft/lb that the smooth twist would be more suitable, i never considered a rimfire barrel. i'll look forward to the new video
+Gary Billington Yes, but Boss and Impact are .30 cal and the pressures in the Huber and WAY higher and the acceleration as well... 80ft/lbs is not a high energy for .30 cal, but for .22 cal it is quite big, almost as high as .22LR...
@@gregorkamensek3923 estou querendo compra uma pra mim, porem aqui no brasil só tem a geração 3 queria pegar a geração 5. o que me fala dessas outras gerações ?
Have you tried any of the bullets from someone like Nick Nielsen? I've found his slugs to work very well in my .25 Marauder, and my .357 Bulldog. His heavier ammo might slow down the projectile and improve accuracy. nielsenspecialtyammo.com/collections/22-cal
+Frank Hieber I have looked at his web page, but his .22 bullets are quite light, only 22,5 gr and the dimension is .217. LW barrels are are about 0.2216 and this pellet would probably not be very accurate because it would be too lose in the barrel (same problem with Piledriver). I would have already order them if I was from US, but the shipping to EU + custom + tax is too high. I am looking for something in a range of 40 grains. .22LR bullets would be perfect but are hard to come by. I do have some heavy pellets / bullets ordered, I also intend to cast some heavy bullets... I will probably have a new video in about 2 - 3 weeks.
+Gregor Kamenšek Might be worth talking to him anyway. I believe he can customize the size to a certain extent if you want heavier. The Diameter might be an issue though.
Realy a high power airgun.. but i think this is the worst accuratie in airgun world. I believe because the power is too big for 15 - 25 grain pellets. You should be use heavier pellet like Eun Jin 32 grain to increase accuratie. and i sugest using atau lease 1:17.7 or more rifled barrel to reach better accuratie in high power. But this is a good regulated airgun anyway...👌👌👌 bravo Huben.
Gregor Great review, I think you and I have the same experience in testing the K-1. I did find I could shoot the pile drivers good at longer ranges but only at a low velocity..www.airgunnation.com/topic/huben-k1-2/ We are both testing the same pellets, so let find something that does shoot in the K1. I also might reach out to LW and see if i can get a different barrel. Thanks
+William Bryce Hello! Yes, I know your thread very well. Huben went with unchoked airgun barrel to enable user to shoot all kind of bullets at all kind of velocities. But they should put in a barrel with higher twist rate to enable those longer bullets / slugs to be stabilized by the gyroscopic effect. This gun shoots well all heavier longer pellets on close range but they are all unstable and start to wobble on longer ranges. It also does not shoot well the JSB Jumbo (they are stable though) because JSBs love choked barrels... It is quite frustrating. I am thinking to change the barrel as well with higher twist rate... The Huben does have high potentials in accuracy in all other features.
+William Bryce BTW, how did the EINJIN work? I just got two tins and have tried them at close range and they seem very accurate. I am expecting that they will be unstable at longer ranges though. I am also getting some new 34 grain JSBs next week... (Jumbo Beast)
+Gregor Kamenšek Had hopes on the EINJIN, worked well out to 50 yards but had flyers at 75 yards you can see the spirals but only on some rounds I could get groups on 3-4 rounds that were .25 -.50" I still have to try the FENIX FX550 pellets they have a different skirt and construction.
+Gregor Kamenšek BTW, the Piledrivers I shot are 5.56 dia and shot pretty good out to 75 yards. I can shoot one into water to check on the grooves if you would like.
wlbrycemt I have never tried Coal pellets (which is ironic since they are made approx. 50 away from where I live :)) let me know how they work. They are not so popular here and do not sell that much. I have already shot several pellets into water, piledriver had almost no visible grooves in it. I will give them another try with lower velocities this time. I expected to hear that about EUNJIN. What did you think about new JSBs? I saw that you got one good group with them.
This is a great airgun page. I'm glad I found it. Nice going, Gregor. Keep it up. BTW do you have access to Kalibrgun airguns?
Yes, I own Cricket .25. I have been meaning to make a video about it, but this gun is so good that no modification is needed and most my videos are about modifications... I will make a review of it, it is the most accurate gun in my collection.
When you can, the Taipan Mutant. ;)

Please Gregor. Sorry my inglês. the power wheel must be in what position to be able to regulate the working pressure?
Working pressure is not regulated by the power wheel, you can regulate it by the screw in the stock.
WHEN I ATTACK, THE WORK PRESSURE IS DECREASING VERY QUICKLY. IT IS NOT KEPT IN 160 BAR.
Ok, I assume your regulator does not work properly... You should contact you distributor or Huben directly...
alexander, your regulator is the screw inside the stock, but when you adjust it to 200 bar: CLOSE the POWERWHEEL first (the powerwheel controls the valve to let out a certain amount of air, too much and air will blow out of the barrel and the pellet will never be accurate) Then start opening up the wheel again slightly to test the amount of power. (if you leave it full open then you will only waiste air and accuracy). If you want this gun to shoot accurate at high power (supersonic) dont even try pellets but buy solids (boat tail)
I tightened the throttle. and I only managed to reach 160 bar. it may have damaged the springs.
Are you sure you have enough pressure in the main/unregulated cylinder?

but i have question about de brass screw? do i turn it in all the way. my was not tight, and slightly loose. is this normal for adjust or someting.
Greetings from Holland, Peter
You can turn it all the way, but you do not need to tighten it. It will lock when under pressure
Thank you for your feedback, verry helpfull. tomorow i will try the new o rings.
Greetings Peter,
How does the behavior of it fill the cylinder with 200bar and leaving the regulator at 130/140 bar working pressure using 18gr plugs, and its autonomy?
I have not really shot a lot with 18 pellets... But you can set the regulator down to 90 bars for these light pellets and you still can get very high velocity... You get a loot shoots!!!
The K1 sold today have undergone some updating in relation to when it was launched
ANDRÉ PEDRÃO What are the changes?
N. Davidsng Changes in relation to gun barrel and amount of sting.
All new K1 are coming with "new" 24''LW barrels.
a recall was made...
cheers
Helloo Gregor is your k1 tuned in power??? my rifle k1 only goes up to 195 bar in the regulator....Thanks
That is probably because my gauge display too high pressure. But if I go too far with the pressure, It just passes all of the air through. I think they limite this in the newer version...
yes that is!! ...i put max at 200 bar MAX, no get any more now ..,but puting the down wheel in "4" the velocities get higher!!!!
im in 106 joules MAX with a 39 pellet and 90 joules with jsb 25 ...the rifle is terrific ACCURATEE!!!!!! im impress
thanks again !!!
I am happy that you enjoy it... :)
Hi, will this gun perform well limited to 24joules? And how do they limite it?
Thanks.
It will work but you have to limit it yourself by setting appropriate reg pressure and power wheel. I don't think you can purchase it with limited power... You can ask you distributor about that.
@@gregorkamensek3923 i'm from spain and they sell it limited due the restriction of 24,2 joules. I want to know if it's posible to unlimite it :)
@@ehogimeno Ok, I understand. The problem is that I do not know how they limited it. There are a lot of ways to do that and I cannot help you just through texting...
The ideal speed for most pellets is 900 fps or 270 m/s , your set was to high and it should be not accurate, what you did not show the real capability of this rifle. i hope that you reduce the speed and give it a try
+Saleh Magrabi
own many airguns in different caliber and have a lot of experience in pellet stability. To assume that all pellets in all barrels like the same same velocities is a mistake. Traditional airgun barrels with traditional pellets that are relative lightweight will prefer around 900 fps (274 m/s), some even less. Huben is not a traditional airgun and the pellets that I would like to use in it are not traditional. If you are looking for an airgun to shoot traditional pellets at 40j then you should not wast you money on Huben. There a tons of airguns that are cheaper than Huben that have great accuracy. Huben is about going to the limit with a limited power source. Obviously I have showed the chrony results just to show you the capabilities of the Huben, I would never shoot at those velocities with those pellets. The best group that I have shown in this video is with Baracuda Match at 305 m/s (1000fps). I have shown this group because it was the best I could get, Baracuda match did not shoot well in this gun at 800 fps or 900. I have tried it and shown you best performance. I have even tested the gun at 16 j (12 ft-lbs). Take a look at my latest video with Huben and see the accuracy I am getting now with a different barrel na 34 grain pellets and the wind was blowing like crazy. In conclusion: everything has variables that you have to take them into account, everything is relative. (I think that someone already said that before :))
hi greg .. i have problem with my huben. 1rst time to use for shooting and suddenly ... pressure air leaking somewhere at magazine. i tried open and disassemble part. barrel and tank. no sign of pellet jam as ive seen inside barrel . reciver should be the problem i think. everytime i pull the trigger stil leaking somewhere in magazine and its not turning . donu have facebook or whatsap number ... that i can call u ...thank u.
Really hard to say where your leak is, try replacing the o-rings on the 2,5 mm pin that rotates the magazine...
@@gregorkamensek3923 thank u . i already sort out the problem. theres a spring underneath the magz which i tried re align. and the magazine already rotating.
@@aerialshootwonderboy919 I am glad to hear that :)
is the stock barrel? exelent with baracuda
It can shoot well all pellets if the settings are correct. Watch my other videos to see how to make the settings.
the barrel is stock?
In this video, yes.
Love your videos, but can you add FPS with the meters per second.Thank you
just wondered,will the gun shoot well at uk legal limits 12fb,,,,,,,,,,,
+Jeremy Rayner I assume it will, I have not tried for accuracy at those powers but there is no reason why it would not be accurate. But the problem is that it can be adjusted to higher power and will probably not be legal... Also semi-auto rifles are prohibited in UK as far as I know.
+Gregor Kamenšek My understanding is that semi is perfectly legal here under sub12 but above this it becomes a section 5 firearm. Same as the Styre H5 which is semi and sold here in the UK. As for the power issue, this can be tuned so that the max power the dial will provide is sub12 and cannot be taken over but only down.
+UKRifles OK, I understand. My suggestion is that you contact Huben and ask them if they will built a version of K1 with power limitation. So far I have not seen or heard anything about K1 with limited power, but I can test for accuracy at 12 fb for you and let you know if you like.
I have tested the rifle in sub 12ft-lbs but I did not get good results. I will put a video on my channel soon.
Nice rewiev. Not any airgun shoot long range acurit if pellet leav barrel supersonic. Because it drops to subsonic before target and from supersonic to subsonic cause inacuracy. I never have see any airgun shoot good if supersonic, same what twisrate barrel. My airguns, Airforce Condor .22 cal. FAC. Steyr 110 HP .177 cal, Steyr 110 Field Target FAC. Steyr 110 HP .22 cal, Eunjin Sumatra FAC .22 cal, Daystate Air Ranger .22 cal FAC. My friends have big bores up, to .50 cal. That Huben seems to be nice, exept trigger.
You are absolutely right. I was only demonstrating the potential power of the Huben. I would never shoot for accuracy supersonic although I must say that is is surprisingly accurate with JSB beast at 70 meters @345 m/s (but with the custom thicker barrel)...
i think your early thoughst on the barrel is correct gregor, try a smooth twist if you can from the fx range
+Gary Billington Hi. I have recently changed the barrel on my Huben with .22LR (LW). An I have great results. I will finish my video in a day or two and post it to UA-cam... I don't think I will try smooth twist because I am satisfied with .22LR, but from my understanding smooth twist would not be a good choice for such high power... I might be wrong though ...
hi, i assumed with the impact and boss being in excess of 80ft/lb that the smooth twist would be more suitable, i never considered a rimfire barrel. i'll look forward to the new video
+Gary Billington Yes, but Boss and Impact are .30 cal and the pressures in the Huber and WAY higher and the acceleration as well... 80ft/lbs is not a high energy for .30 cal, but for .22 cal it is quite big, almost as high as .22LR...
i didnt realise there was such a big difference, do you think that they will introduce the bigger calibre in the huben
+Gary Billington I don't know, I am not actually in touch with Huben
Qual e geração dela ?
This video is with gen. 1
@@gregorkamensek3923 estou querendo compra uma pra mim, porem aqui no brasil só tem a geração 3 queria pegar a geração 5. o que me fala dessas outras gerações ?
@@cfturati Anything form gen 2 on should be OK. The diference are not very big or they do not affect functionality or accuracy.
Have you tried any of the bullets from someone like Nick Nielsen? I've found his slugs to work very well in my .25 Marauder, and my .357 Bulldog. His heavier ammo might slow down the projectile and improve accuracy.
nielsenspecialtyammo.com/collections/22-cal
+Frank Hieber I have looked at his web page, but his .22 bullets are quite light, only 22,5 gr and the dimension is .217. LW barrels are are about 0.2216 and this pellet would probably not be very accurate because it would be too lose in the barrel (same problem with Piledriver). I would have already order them if I was from US, but the shipping to EU + custom + tax is too high. I am looking for something in a range of 40 grains. .22LR bullets would be perfect but are hard to come by. I do have some heavy pellets / bullets ordered, I also intend to cast some heavy bullets... I will probably have a new video in about 2 - 3 weeks.
+Gregor Kamenšek Might be worth talking to him anyway. I believe he can customize the size to a certain extent if you want heavier. The Diameter might be an issue though.
Realy a high power airgun.. but i think this is the worst accuratie in airgun world. I believe because the power is too big for 15 - 25 grain pellets. You should be use heavier pellet like Eun Jin 32 grain to increase accuratie.
and i sugest using atau lease 1:17.7 or more rifled barrel to reach better accuratie in high power.
But this is a good regulated airgun anyway...👌👌👌 bravo Huben.
You should check my other videos...
: She's not holding up the work pressure
I can not understand between regulator and regulator of energy
I do not understand the question...
please can you test rifle at 12 ftlb Uk LEGAL LIMIT ,
+TheWelshman50 OK, I will test this weekend and let you know the results.
Thanks once again for your help
+TheWelshman50 I have tested the rifle in sub 12ft-lbs but I did not get good results. I will put a video on my channel soon.
Thanks for your time as if it does not function at 12FTLB it would be no use, thanks once agailn
+TheWelshman50 I assume the problem is in the barrel again. I think it is not choked and for best performance with pellets, it should be choked.
364M/S？？？ 280/M=OK
Gregor
Great review, I think you and I have the same experience in
testing the K-1. I did find I could shoot the pile drivers good at longer
ranges but only at a low velocity..www.airgunnation.com/topic/huben-k1-2/
We are both testing the same pellets, so let find something
that does shoot in the K1. I also might reach out to LW and see if i can get a different
barrel.
Thanks
+William Bryce Hello! Yes, I know your thread very well. Huben went with unchoked airgun barrel to enable user to shoot all kind of bullets at all kind of velocities. But they should put in a barrel with higher twist rate to enable those longer bullets / slugs to be stabilized by the gyroscopic effect. This gun shoots well all heavier longer pellets on close range but they are all unstable and start to wobble on longer ranges. It also does not shoot well the JSB Jumbo (they are stable though) because JSBs love choked barrels... It is quite frustrating. I am thinking to change the barrel as well with higher twist rate... The Huben does have high potentials in accuracy in all other features.
+William Bryce BTW, how did the EINJIN work? I just got two tins and have tried them at close range and they seem very accurate. I am expecting that they will be unstable at longer ranges though. I am also getting some new 34 grain JSBs next week... (Jumbo Beast)
+Gregor Kamenšek
Had hopes on the EINJIN, worked well out to 50 yards but had flyers at 75 yards you can see the spirals but only on some rounds I could get groups on 3-4 rounds that were .25 -.50"
I still have to try the FENIX FX550 pellets they have a different skirt and construction.
+Gregor Kamenšek
BTW, the Piledrivers I shot are 5.56 dia and shot pretty good out to 75 yards. I can shoot one into water to check on the grooves if you would like.
wlbrycemt I have never tried Coal pellets (which is ironic since they are made approx. 50 away from where I live :)) let me know how they work. They are not so popular here and do not sell that much. I have already shot several pellets into water, piledriver had almost no visible grooves in it. I will give them another try with lower velocities this time. I expected to hear that about EUNJIN. What did you think about new JSBs? I saw that you got one good group with them.
