That looks like a clearance price for sure, but does "pre-order" mean you can still get one? (Must be their supplier is having the clearance sale?) The shroud extends about 7 or 8 inches past the muzzle of the barrel, so removing that and putting on a short LDC would shave a few inches.I bought mine used for only a little less than that...Extra magazines and maybe a replacement regulator will add up, but still, an R10 Mk2...Oh, oh, wait, the .22 is for sale too! Resist, Davie, resist...
AFAIK, Amazon sold these last month for ~$650. They were old stock. If you want a rifle of this type, $600 from PA is probably a pretty good price.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=143107.0The first rifle a guy got was a return.
Is it easy to hand pump this pcp? It is more than 200 bar. No scuba shops in my area, gents.

I think the cylinder is 200 cc's. You don't have to fill to that pressure. Since the gun is regulated and you fill above the regulator setpoint, you're only adding more shots per fill. Setpoint should be around 1300 psi? I'm not sure of the exact setpoint.Taso

It's what Huma recommended for .177 caliber and 18 inch barrel FAC/export rifle. I haven't installed it yet.Taso

How long do you think it will take my wife to figure out there are two black rifles in the house? I probably should pass, though I don't want to. Part of that money might be needed for a Huma (or two ). Maybe I can find some more stuff at my house to sell on eBay.(I always forget about that code...could have saved me a few dollars lately.)
