Anyone heard of these?

I believe these are essentially the same as the Pishtov RAS airguns that were released a few months ago. I know the name and distributor changed and there was some changes/upgrades done to improve power and accuracy. I've not seen any reviews yet. I asked about getting one to do a comparison of these to the Pishtov I had, just to show if there were any improvement, but never got a response. I have since sold the Pishtov, so I haven't pursued it any further.

It's a shame when a new gun comes to market without sufficient forethought and quality control, it just leads to disappointment and frustration. It's a shame too as I liked the look of the one with the wood stock, long barrel, and regulated. Only time will tell if this new distributor has corrected and improved the issues the first buyers of the Pishtov complained about. Another sad start out of the Gate, that could have been avoided. One more instance of the early buyers being the field testers for the manufacturer. When are they gonna learn to do their own field testing?

They do appear to be the same gun. Cattlemen guns appears to be the seller, claiming satisfaction guaranteed. Hopefully they have the prior issues resolved... We'll see if they pass the test of time.

The receiver, bipod/FHG and fill probe sure look like Turkish Kral to me.

I was gifted a .22 T1 Pneuwa imported by Cattlemen Guns, and I shot it for the first time at the range today. Let me tell you, it was shooting Hot!!! It's as loud as my .22lr rifle, cracked the sound barrier with every pellet I put through it. It does have a threaded barrel adapter and my Donnty FL Tatsu did quiet the report significantly, of course this does nothing for the sonic Crack of sound barrier down range. I got in contact with Cattlemen, apparently the barrels are made stateside in house, and are Not Choked, they couldn't give me the twist rate but it looks faster than a other airguns designed for pellets.
