Cattleman Air guns.. seeking info ?

[nunnya]

I am optimistic about this company. For the price point they are offering a good product with excellent support and the willingness to listen and improve. That ain't bad. Time will tell but I'm looking forward to purchasing something from them in the near future. Hopefully in .3x caliber. Also thanks to Knifemaker for his efforts.

So far, I'm very good results with the mods I have been making to the gun. Looks like the factory is going to include most if not all of them..

Had an Email from Miss Victoria.  Improvements will be made available to current owners as implemented


The hard carbon steel hammer guide/adjustment rod will be made available to any customer who wants one. Simply e-mail them.

Just placed an order for their M1 in .22. They are having a clearance sale $450. Seems like a bargain to me.

I have been looking at these as well..  For now I'm staying away as it seems they need too much help from people that know how an airgun should work like knife to get them going. Once Knife and the company get them straightened out I would likely jump all over one.

Think they're on it Randy. Victoria sent me an email stating the mods will be in my rifle when it arrives. Can't ask for more than that.

Glad she contacted you. I have been trying to reach her for days now.


I made the tool steel hammer guide rod and thereade it. Polished it and burnished it with Tungsten Disulfide and it feels like two glass plated with a gooo oil in between. Untral mooth. All the grittiness is gone, as is the fluctuating fps numbers.


This gun is turning out to be a good shooter.


I mistakenly took this gun to be a copy of a Kral,which is a copy of an Evanix. However after searching for expl0ded drawings of all three, I have learned that it is in reality a clone  of the1300.00 usd Ataman M2 Carbine. Not a bad platform at all. Only three parts are missing. 


1. A washer and nut at the end for the  hammer guide rod to adjust the hammer spring tension.


2.  Adjustment screws for trigger take up of first and second stage. the actual trigger groups is virtually identical. And unlike the Evanix, it is a ture drop sear rater than the   Evanix Rainstorm's snag sear. A huge improvement!


3. And finally, it does not have the mono core internal shroud ldc in it. But a big plus is that the barrel is actually tensioned. Rare, and very worthwhile. 


And a true Mono Block system at these prices? Un-heard of!  It makes working on the gun extremely quick and simple. My Raptor could learn a thing or two form it.
 


I hope that she is not upset that I have posted my finding here on the GTA, but I volunteered to test the gun for the GTA way before Cattleman contacted me. Those that know me know that I don't  sugar coat anything. Never Have, Never will. Lord knows it has gotten me in trouble more than once.


Perhaps my timing has just been  off when I try to contact Her..

Have you seen the accuracy, or lack there of on youtube? One guy was getting like 6" groups at 25yds, with JSB's, YIKES

I've seen dime sized groups a 20 yards with the Milano T2, so whoever was shooting wasn't using the right pellets, or was just a terrible shot, or was unlucky and had defect.

Nice, I love my Ataman's, buttery smooth side lever, super accurate and have had zero issues with leaks or anything else for that matter.  Sounds like once Knife gets the kinks worked out these will be a steal and a half for sure!!

Just put an M1 .22 in my basket just mulling the buy now button I like the furniture with adjustable cheek riser

Knife,

Not sure if this is true, but many people claim this was an open source design that they just made with better materials and machining than things like the Pishtov. And fixed little issues with the design.

Not sure about contact, I had some initially and they were really quick to reply, but after I decided to go a different way, I've had no replies from them. I sent a couple of messages trying to help them out and not even a simple reply of thanks. I don't want to see them fail, but it seems that only a few have the magic contact button lately.

I was told that they had a bank problem, the bank froze all assets and legal action was in motion, yet google brings me nothing. Maybe they have bigger issues, and maybe a bad batch of parts is a portion of those issues.

All that said, if they want to send me something to test, I'd be happy to shoot it. But for right now they have nothing I want to buy save for the M1 and that doesn't pull hard enough to cause the purchase. Maybe when they have the promised bullpups or big bores. And until then, I've stopped trying to offer suggestions, and trying to keep people on an even keel in the discussions.

I spoke with Victoria. The bank problem had to do with PayPal and their gun policy. They no longer use paypal, and had to find another way to process payments. PayPal was holding up their payments. Didn’t sound like a big issue.
Seems like a lot of people are contacting them to give advise and ask for free guns to test. They are a business and have to put their actual customers first. If you buy something from them, I’m sure you will get great customer service.
