Curious if anyone else has one of these and if so any insight they can provide.

I owned the M10 in .22 cal for a while. It was quite powerful and accurate. I think you will like the M11. (Think heavy pellets)

I didn't know that Wes was selling the M11

I've always liked the power they delivered, they're basically a 100 yard gun for sure right out of the box from what I've seen. The mag on the M11 is what puts the icing on the cake. When Mrodair was selling the M10 they supplied another transfer port with them as well. There's many on this forum that have extended experience with the M10. I think the next year you're going to see more really nice guns being available from SPA. I saw pictures of a lot of what they were projecting at the beginning of this year and it will be interesting to see what they have available for the near future.

I remember one of the members here talking about how a person replaced their Daystate barrel with an M10 barrel, the Chinese can and are building some really nice barrel's in the SPA factory. I have the Airmax Dominator myself and it's my go to gun for hunting squirrels and other small game, super accurate, plenty of power and trouble free. I did do a couple minor modifications to it to up the power also, you can tell by my avatar what I'm shooting out of it.

I was watching a youtube movie today about the M10 that Southern Gunner has and he's shooting the same slugs out of that that I'm shooting out of my Airmax Dominator.

Thanks for the info guys. I am looking forward to playing with this one. I will have to go and look up Southern Airgunners video. I some how have missed that one.

Canada post says rifle is in Mississauga now. Sad part is that it went past my house to get there! Why do they not have a sorting facility in Sudbury or North Bay? Waiting has never been my strong suit.

Let's hope they process and reload on truck and send it back north (3 hrs) quickly! Time to check the trail cam and see what made all the tracks the last couple of days. Later!

Hey Dave - I got mine from Raman at Canada shooting supply also in .25 and really like it even though it has a pretty good bark. I just did a chrony test tonight and am getting 38 shots per fill with the JSB Kings flying at 900-910fps. I turned down the hammer spring to about 850fps but didn't get a chance to see how many more shots I can get.
I also like the fact that it feels solid and the stock has some heft to it. Overall very pleased with the value given the quality.
Enjoy, I think you're going to love yours.

Awesome Mike! Glad you like it. Now the waiting is even harder. LOL

What weight are the Kings?

This sounds like the DAR air rifle with just a different name.

Canadianguy55 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 21, 2019, 06:54:10 PM »

Yeah I seen these, amazing price , never owned a .25, wish I had more coin!

mikep · « **Reply #11 on:** December 22, 2019, 01:11:40 AM »

Hey Dave - they are the 25.4 grain JSB Kings. Since this is my first .25 now the fun begins are going through different pellets to see which one it prefers.
I think I'll order the sample pack from Straight Shooters.

One can only hope that the new DAR's will be as good as the SPA products however the DAR's are made in a totally different factory in China. I do like the DAR's (my .22 in my signature) but when I bought mine they were very far from being refined and I hope when they're released again that they've fixed all the flaws in them. I have been a fan of the SPA products ever since the first one that I bought.

My Airmax Dominator is my best hunter and always my go to gun for hunting

I'll be using it in the morning at the state land, it's gonna be a really nice day tomorrow.

Heya Mike; is 850fps as low as you could go with the external hammer spring adjustment..?

Looking forward to its day view.
I hope that what I'm reading from the feedback from the beta testers is not just spin. It's happened way too many times for those who have a vested interest to be biased because they were selected to be a beta tester.

I recieved mine from Wes about a week ago and I'm really liking it. It's in. 22 cal like yours. So far it has been very accurate with 17.5 grain NSA slugs at around 915 fps. It is far from broken in yet but even so the reg has been very consistent right from the start . Mine came set at about 140 bar and I have the hammer spring backed all the way out to shoot the 17 grain slugs. So it will definitely sling some heavier ones! I will say that you should pull the breach off when you receive yours and tighten all screws. .
Mine had the cocking lug on the bolt backing out and causing some issues after just a few mags.. there were a few other one that were loose as well..
But after I tightened everything up all has been well and Its getting alot of attention while I wait on my raptor mini to arrive!

RVaughn · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2019, 01:05:54 PM »

The only downside to the rifle I've found is the trigger.. it is not adjustable and has a really long spongy 1st stage with a decent 2nd stage.
I'm sure there is a way to improve as with any trigger but havent really dove into that issue yet.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it would be good with slugs. I will check the screws also.

I received the rifle yesterday and it looks and shoots great! Will post some pics after Christmas when I have more time. Thanks to Wes.

No, I don't think that is as low as it'll go. Going to 850 was from two full turns counter clockwise. I haven't had a chance to adjust it further out and check velocities. From what I've read though, backing it out further will only marginally reduce speeds and that cutting a coil off the hammer spring might be a better option. I just don't feel comfortable doing that without a replacement spring just in case I cut too much off.
