Huben Pistol in Da house,.....long term review.

[Nomadic Pirate]

I've done wood rifle stocks with bedliner paint before. And yes, I removed the factory finish and even tried using primer. And it may have been the brand of paint I used but, it never really seemed to set up solid on the wood. Especially if it was hot and humid outside. I hope you have better results.

Over the years I've done several stocks with Truckbed lining with good results but I don't take the finish off just sand it a bit and usually let it cure a couple days before handling,...my favorite is Rustoleum, I prefer the texture over the others.

Today I will be taking my Caldwell Chonograph to the property I work at so I will be able to take speed reading of the pistol in the months to come, .....I'm very curious what the reading will be at my current setting, all I know is that I often get pass throughs or close to it with the MK IIs on the 2X6s I use to set my targets on.

Yup you have that pistol smoking! I have turned my.22 down to 55 fpe with 25.43 gr JSB it may only be a turn and a half out from the minimum setting now.

Eventually my target will be to have the pistol shooting 900 fps with the MK II 34gr, and I will be only filling to 260 BAR or so, hoping for 6 good shots down to 200 BAR,

We will see how that shakes out.

Manny - looking forward to it.  I have seen some pretty wild variations in the numbers for these. 

For example, the .22 being at 55 fpe near the low end!?! Some previous posts had me thinking that that was near the higher end of the 22’s capabilities. 

Does anyone know how this gun responds to heavier slugs? The Air Force platform which I’ve done most of my shooting on has that unusual valve that stays open as long as the slug is in the barrel - so power ramps up considerably more as slug weight increases than for the other airguns i have.

pass-throughs on 2x6 lumber?  Shazam, that's gonna leave a mark

I just watched a video Gregor did where he said the .25 GK1 can be tuned to produce energy that is on par with a .25APC round!  That would leave a heck of a mark!

Now, that is just insane.
