New gun day, .22" FAC AirMaks Krait L

[RussDouglas222]

Thanks again to Konstantin, Chris and their team at AirMaks Arms, I left the Yorkshire Shooting Show yesterday with my brand new .22" FAC AirMaks Krait L...



...plus thanks to the generous help of Pete @Ganton Gunner - the calibre/spec was laser-etched on one side, and my YouTube name plus the snazzy AGF logo was etched on t'other. ...

I love it!
Slug chrono testing will start today, then at some point I'll turn it down and repeat that with pellets.

Huge thanks also to all who took the time to say hello over the weekend, I really appreciate it.
Hope you all had a great show?
Cheers. Russ

What sort of power does the FAC Kraits push out ?

 

[RussDouglas222]

Up to 59ft/lbs in .22" and 73ft/lbs in .25", though I've not gone for the extra-long barreled UHP, just the 520mm Krait L.
Cheers. Russ

...Want one!
That looks superb, I know it will shoot perfectly, but do keep up updated!

Will-do, gonna start with a few different brands of 21grain slugs, then go from there.

Cheers bud.
Am at bit knackered from the busy weekend, but I have a local perm that's only available now and then... so this new baby might get field-tested tonight, if zeroing goes smoothly.
Cheers. Russ

Looks great does your block with the AGF logo on it. Was very interesting watching it get set up and once sorted it does the job pretty quick and top draw too. @Ganton Gunner Peter is the man and master at all this high tech stuff

 

[Ganton Gunner]

It does look good and happy I could help

Very nice

 

[RussDouglas222]

Looking through my slug collection these are the ones I'll be testing with for starters, besides JSB Diabolo Heavies and H&N Baracuda 18 (providing can source those locally).
I'm hoping to find a baseline power level that both a light slug and a heavy pellet can share / are happy with...

Cheers. Russ

 

[marko]

Very nice. HNGD enjoy

 

[RussDouglas222]

Cheers.

Have gathered all my heavier .22" pellets for testing, assuming it'll stop pishing-down at some point.

Just H&N Baracuda 18s to source.
Cheers. Russ
