Back in Dec. 2023 @WilliamG posted a picture (below) of his RAW with a cool empty chamber indicator. I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere so I made one today.
I had a small teflon ball from an old diaphragm pump I tore apart. I drilled an .082 diameter hole almost all the way through and then 90° to that I drilled and tapped a 10-32 hole almost all the way through for a set screw. I inserted about a 10” length of .080” diameter weed whip line into the hole and locked it in with the set screw. I took a stone to the end of the weed whip line to put a radius on it so that I didn’t have a sharp corner that could cut an O ring.
Thanks WilliamG !

@rcs9250 Nicely done. How are you enjoying that Kymira?

I took it to the range last Monday after picking it up at PA. I tried about eight different pellet and JSB 15.89’s seemed to give tightest grouping between 10-30 yards. Then back to the range yesterday after getting some FX adjustable height rings installed and 15.89’s were so so. I had some 18.13’s and they were grouping tighter. At 30 yards where I like to zero my scope, it was shooting one ragged hole so I got all my dope for 10-50 yards for those pellets.
In my opinion it is very much like a Daystate Huntsman that I had but feels like the Kymira is lighter. Maybe that’s because of the titanium air tube. A friend says I won the walnut lottery on the beautiful stock.
I know it was a lot of $$ for it but everything about just appeals to me. Would have been nice if it was offered in .177, which kinda surprised me that it didn’t, but that’s OK, I have a ton of 18.13 .22’s.

I made the chamber flag for when I’m at club and use it when other people are there and going down range.
I don’t compete. Once I get my dope on my airguns I plink and pest hunt with them. Looking forward to getting it in the woods.
I know what you mean on price. If I wasn’t at panacia with my Paradigm .30 and Evol .22 I probably would not have bought the Kymira. I only have three PCP’s now after a long list of searching for what made me happiest.
With the two AAA’s really doing everything I need in an airgun I got the Kymira because it’s just airgun pic in my eyes. My plan is to keep it till my heart stops pumping because I’m thinking if I ever wanted to sell it I’d take a beating just because commemoratives and special production things don’t always bring the best return on investment.
