Picked up the newly released AGT pistol on Saturday from Vector Air, was a 365 mile round trip

I’ve fitted a Delta Optics MiniDot III 3 moa red dot and had a friend make me a carbon moderator 36mm x 110mm with the correct AGT M14 x 1.25 thread

Took it to my local club on Sunday morning..
Love it….
Zero’d in at 10yards, was pellet on pellet rested and then stretched it out to 30yards and was hitting the 40mm bell pretty easily, even managed 4 in row, again it was rested though.
Took a couple reloads to suss out the mag system, the easiest way is to load the top 3 or 4 pellets and then fully rotate the mag to load the rest. The mag works on a ratchet, when you un cock the pistol it then trips the ratchet and it moves to the next position
I filled it to 240 bar and there was no discernible poi drop until it was under 50bar, it easily did 10 mags and may have even been more, I’ll do a proper count next time out with it
Pellet wise it liked the cheapo Excite Econ II straight away, so never bothered trying anything else

The supplied mod adaptor didn’t come with a thread protector and I couldn’t find anything suitable off the shelf, so Halinfax to the rescue, he also made the carbon moderator for me

When I first got the pistol I chrono’d it and was pretty disappointed with the consistency of the reg, it was producing 15-30fps ES, but I’ve now probably put 1000 pellets through it and the reg has free’d up nicely producing 5fps ES over 2 mags of Baracuda FT pellets

Back at the range Sunday morning, counted the mags this time and it does 11 mags, it dumped its air after the 12th, so 77 shots at .177 sub6 power level. Im having so much fun with this pistol that ive just bought a day tripper 500cc 300bar fill bottle so i can fill the pistol while at the range for extended sessions

Day Tripper bottle and a stash of pellets arrived, the bottle will fill the pistol 4 times to 225 bar, so I can do half a tin of pellets+ in session if I want now

Back at BARPC this morning, these are some of the better groups at 10 and 15 yards rested, the groups tighten up as soon I put my polarised sunglasses on, they really helped to keep the red dot clearer and in focus

The use of 14 mm by AGT is infuriating, that is one of the top 3 things i am not going back to the brand any time soon.

I ordered a neoprene cover for the Day Tripper bottle last week and it arrived today, I’m well happy with it

Seriously.........
They are COMPLETELY different guns !
One is designed more for fun general target, plinking shooting, and the other(s) designed for "target" shooting. You know...10m competition style shooting !!!
I have a Steyr LP50 Sport...and yeah, I'm seriously considering buying the Manul. NOT...even concerned or thinking that the Manul will shoot as well as the Steyr.

The only pistol that can really be compared to Manul is the HW44, but I’m not going there, I don’t fancy the pile on

And...the Ataman AP16. I have two.The only pistol that can really be compared to Manul is the HW44, but I’m not going there, I don’t fancy the pile on
Another...very nice pistol.
I think that the Tequila Gun is also right up there, in quality and shootability.

I’ve had a AP16, i would say at this point i prefer the Manul and its always a bonus that if the Manul goes wrong i can get spares and get it fixed, spares are completely unavailable for the AP16 in the UK. I can’t comment on the Tequila, they aren’t available over here either, it does look a sweet bit of kit tho

Would you consider the Manul "backyard friendly" sound wise? I had a Kalibrgun Ocelot at one point, and it definitely was not.
