Travis of Wicked Air Rifles ... finally got together a project I had been after for near 2 years

First was the talks of a FLEX detuned for FT work ... then came along the WARP

Yea baby now we're talkin about a gun that could do Pistol or Rifle duty in the game of Field Target.

This is an R&D project for Wicked Air Rifles behalf to fine tune the operational parameters of this otherwise MAGNUM power pistol to a level of Sub 20 ft lbs.
We're there now at 20 ft lbs per Travis with some internal parts adjusted to drop power ... A LOT !
We will be changing out parts & pieces until we get a VERY BALANCED tune and a killer shot count over the next few months / winter. Stay tuned we're expecting some really dramatic results

So this thread will be on going R&D as we get this little Pocket Rocket tuned for a duty far below it High Power capabilities.

How friggen cool !!!!

Only picture thus far ...

Picture ( Travis took ) is the .177 WARP setting above a Benjamin P-rod w/ carbine stock

I believe it will be a awesome FT gun. Tensioned carbon shroud over LW barrel and regulated plus pull back bolt and anti bounce hammer design etc etc. Scott is the man for the job and we have 100 and ten percent confidence in his abilities.

Yep, no pictures there either. Sorry, it didn't happen....LOL (sorry, I couldn't help myself you were just so excited. I know I would be too!)

I can now see Scott's picture in his post.

PBguns · « **Reply #12 on:** October 15, 2016, 03:32:15 PM »

Man....I want a warp. Its the next big ticket item for me. Even before a compressor.

customcutter · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2016, 05:42:20 PM »

WOW! On a scale of 1-10 on the cool factor scale, that's about 120! Very Nice.

No wonder Scott was excited.

Just received my WARP .177 cal prototype @ 1/2 hour ago.
It is larger that i thought it would be, tho still far sub FLEX size.
Initial impression just handling it is very good ! .... Fit & Finish is very nice with a really cool Carbon shroud and telescoping LDC with 3 baffles that allow using none or any quantity pending OAL & hush your wanting.
The TIMNEY trigger is really nice !

Going to be a few days to get some pictures taken and posted ... but at least it's here IN HAND and will get some initial shakedown testing very soon ... Threads about to take off as we get after the task of tuning this WARP into a capable tool for Field Target work

Looking forward to what you can do,

I think the WARP will really translate well to this application, it's a great platform for diversity as you can have it in .30 cal with big knock down power but it's easily down tunable, I'm looking forward to my .22 barrel kit to come in to see what kind of diversity I can get out of mine since you have pellets in .22 going from 14gr to 34gr,...gonna be fun

An ft version of the rifle would be cool!

There are too many options! Travis has an email from me....Really liking what is being shown
