@karl_h , I really like this graph and appreciate you posting it - I have been looking for something like it but had not found it before and did not feel like creating it myself. But I don't think you are interpreting it correctly . . . I'll explain it more thoroughly for everybody else to...

That looks great. While I don't know it for sure, I have to believe that not having any condensation occurring within the compressor (as a result of the pre-drying desiccant filter) has to be benficial for the compressor, and hopefully will lead to a longer life and or reduced need for repairs...

When you say "filter media", what type of media are you referring to? If a desiccant, and it is not an indicating desiccant, the best way to know if you need to replace (or recharge, if appropriate and feasible) is by weight. My advice would be to weigh out the new media when you put it in the...

Agree on most counts - my only exception is that even if we compress in the desert of Arizona we still will likely have condensation build up in tanks filled with a fast compressor with no drying occuring . . . ;) Not seeing liquid water when venting does not guarantee "dry air" as the air...

There sure are a lot of myths out there . . . and I'm afraid this article might be adding to the problem as it is not the full story . . . In short, the correct answer is "Yes, one can adequately dry the air to meet our needs with a desiccant filter used before compression - however, the...

I think my Huben changed that for me. If it were all just about the semi-auto I would agree, but these hammerless guns bring so much more to the game. The K1 is an awesome gun on so many levels, and the semi-auto function is just a nice by product. The ability to easily and repeatably change...

chaufering I agree with this, but I would say it falls into the broader category of gaining control in your life by becoming immune to marketing and social media/peer pressure. My view on marketing is that it is the art of convincing people that they need something that they were doing fine...

Sorry your GK1 crapped out, but Huben is head and shoulders better that Western in this area. I have a K1 and Sidewinder, and there is no comparison in terms of my ability to get issues sorted out quickly with them. Huben has a full parts diagram available, in fact they provided it in the...

Mike, We thank you for your odyssey, as it likely could help all of us Shoebox users . . .

I did not know about that trigger, so I looked it up. While I can't answer your question directly, but it looks like the moderator won't impact anything much as it is an inertial switch. I think power level would be a bigger factor than sound level, as that directly impacts momentum and thus...

The only hard part in assembling that portion of your mouse trap is getting the cam arm in on the spring. That will easier if you take the the bearing off that part of the barrel block. Then you can put the spring in on the pin, and more easily wedge the arm onto the spring with the added...

You have to remember that EVERY space or thing you could do or play in is a business opportunity for somebody to exploit. No matter your interest or skill level in whatever it is, there will be somebody out there looking to turn a buck in that space by enticing you to ratchet it up another...

The more I think about this, the more I think @Sergey1972 is correct in that the issue is that your barrel has too much gap to the mag. While I can induce some rocking in my mag/barrel block that is not secured to the action, I get none in the one that is set properly and secured to the action...

The long cap screws secure the barrel block to the action. The lower short cap screws are the ones that are used to align the barrel in the barrel block. There is a procedure that is used to align them, but I've never had to do it yet. Supposedly it is not technically challenging but is...

That piece is there to help guide projectiles as the mag rotates towards the barrel. I expect that without it, jams would be more likely. I don't think it's absense would impact the current issue being discussed.

Mike, Except for the color of the collar on the tube, that looks identical to the ones that were used on the Max and earlier models. I have two replacement lines with fittings on them that I bought before the store went down to have on hand - these fittings were the ones that had a limited...

I have a 2021 K1 with a 2018 magazine (and matching LW barrel) in it, and there is no noticeable play in it like you are showing. I tried to measure it with the depth function off my calipers, but I'm not picking up anything. I also still have the 2021 magazine along with the entire barrel...

We might have better luck with Tom than we thought . . . I just went to Ocolabs to look at the pricing for their parts, and it looks like they may have shut down. Their website is now just a shell with nothing much there . . . If they are gone, that is truly bad news for us. https://ocolabs.com/

As you are rebuilding it, be sure to inspect the sealing surfaces where the o-rings sit in their grooves and against the tube to make sure that your issue is not being caused by any pitting or surface rust that may have occurred if moisture built up in the gun. If so, correcting it is a bigger...

Maybe Tom Kaye himself would tell us. Anybody know him well enough to ask? I’ve never met him, but I think a few here know him.
