Are there guys around who own this rifle and care to share their thoughts about it? I've read some reviews on the Dutch forum and they've left me confused. I might be looking to buy one, after selling both my rifles. I'm moving out and will have less time to shoot so whenever I get to shoot I want to be a bit of more fun. More power is more fun in my opinion. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon May 31, 2010 12:15 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho unless he sold it pete has one. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Mon May 31, 2010 12:24 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I recall he had an older one. Though sure of it, I am not. We shall sit and wait for him. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:59 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Hi broom.. Unless yer going to take up hunting... forget the AR6... thats really all they are good for..and dam are they good at it... For targets / plinking...you will be re-chargeing it every 12/15 shots... pellets..they only like 28 & 32g buying tins of 120 for plinking....yer better have deep pockets... anything lighter goes super sonic ..then some. they send a 14.5g at almost 1600fps at the muzzle they NEED to be silenced...Or buy ear muffs... A Evanix Blizzard would be a better choice for plinking or targets... what about a Career Infinity... adjustable from 400 to 1220fps with 14.5 grain pellet gives 45fpe and well over 50fpe with heaveys.. I love mine...

I'm gonna move to the big city, and will have less time to shoot, so every time I do shoot I want to make it worthwhile. I'm mostly shooting at a range in Drachten, which is half an hour from the city by bus. Also, I'll probably have my drivers liscense within half a year. Next, there is a pretty good regulator available. Lowering the power to 30 Joule/20 Fpe should be a matter of switching springs, hammer and/or adding said regulator set at 60 bar. This should also provide a lot of shots. Also, I like the repeating on this gun over any other I've shot with. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:20 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand broommaster2000 wrote: kanyon wrote: Hi broom..

Broom I forgot..yer can drop the power with a small bit of rubber tube.... with the hammer cocked the valve shaft is sticking out the rear slide a tight fitting bit of rubber tube over the shaft "shorter than the Shaft"...It will stop the valve opening as much...less air used = less power Pete _________________ Career Infinity PCP .22 Webley Patriot .25 Hatsan mod 75 .22 Hatsan mod 99 .177 (Quattro & SAS) Kral underlever .177 ............................................. .   Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:53 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands kanyon wrote: broommaster2000 wrote: kanyon wrote: Hi broom..

How are they put together? Are they easy to take apart? Anything to look out for? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 9:42 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Hi broom... I never needed to pull one apart.. One thing I didn't like is the stock is held on by one bolt though the trigger guard... One reasion they make the power is the pellet is fired from the mag direct push..the air is not going into the barrel at 90* to the direction the pellet has to travel....thats why they can have the repeter mode..no probe to push them from the mag into the barrel...just cock the hammer & rotate the mag... One little trick with loading the pellets is they load backwards "tail first"into the mag & the mag hole it tappered ..push them in till they weadge in...
