I have the Krait WX in 0.22 with the Huma reg factory installed. Absolutely lovely gun ergonomically, and as accurate as anything else out there. Many FX'S have come and gone from my stable, most of which were great, but I prefer the Krait to them all.

Yep - Dramatically. Also eliminated damage caused to the slug by shearing.

Check the valve seat. It can rotate and choke off the transfer port. My friend's panthera had this happen spontaneously for some reason.

Interesting, I had assumed that the sub12 ping was maybe a consequence of the state of tune needed to get them that low. It hasn't been present on any of the U2's (all 0.22 700's) I've dealt with at all. No stealth depingers installed from the factory in them either. Heard it plenty in the...

A lot of the uragan 2 firing cycle noise when your face is on the stock seems to come from the lack of an oring to seal the external valve stem. Allows a little 'pop' of air to escape into the stock cavity through the valve stem channel on firing and results in that sort of hollow/resonant...

This sounds like it's probably the same issue as the U2 had, at least in the 0.22 700mm that first came to South Africa - the transition to rifling was abruptand square/90degrees. Caused shearing and piling up of lead at the transition on loading, made worse by longer slugs. Probably also...

For a full length rifle I'd say go for an Epic Two (with CZ barrel) or an AAA Evol. Either is like a greatest hits collection of good engineering decisions and execution thereof. Barrel length and caliber to suit your intended projectile and power needs. No rifle is guaranteed problem free, but...

I'd honestly take the Krait (WX>X) or the Uragan 2 /3 over the Prophet 3. I've had all three and worked on several more of each. I still have a uragan 2 and a krait WX. The main shortfall on your specs is the lack of a direct foster fill on both and the absence of an externally adjustable reg on...

My pleasure. I see huma now has the epic raptor 'out of stock' on their site. I wonder if they've realized there is something genuinely wrong with them and are fixing it. Before seeing your post I had considered ordering another one in case I happened to get a lemon. My thinking was it would...

I've had the same issue with the raptor reg giving an incredibly slow refresh rate. Huma weren't terribly helpful about it despite being bought directly from them. I ended up enlarging the air transfer hole (the one that seals up against the disc with a little carbide pcb drill bit. Can't...

No the uragan 2 already has the reg is in a far more accessible place in the front, between the barrel and bottle attachment. It's hammer adjustment is also at the back already, albeit under the stock, but being a balance valve has a very limited role in tuning. As for that thing in the front...

Hi! Thanks man. Unfortunately I don't really do work on people's guns outside of those of very close friends, who might actually forgive me if something went wrong 🤣 Kidding aside this is just a hobby for me and I simply don't have the time or inclination to make it a service I perform. I have...

Hi! Sorry haven't monitored this thread at all. They were made aware of the changes through a couple of their sponsored shooters that I'm acquainted with. Heard absolutely nothing from daystate UK but some of the AOA guys did get in touch 👍🏻 Thankfully I have a job I love (radiologist) so I...

Your gun probably has the gen 1 valve, which has the sealing o-ring for the balance chamber on the valve piston. Just a matter of when it's going to leak. The redesign/gen 2 has the oring in a groove in the balance chamber itself and has no issues anymore. They'll replace it for you without...

With some work I've managed to get a couple of p35s hanging comfortably with FX wildcats on all fronts but max output power. Once properly sorted they have a better trigger too 👍🏻 They're lovely little guns and I still have one. Or would if my dad ever gives it back 😆 The light weight and short...
