So I have finally caved in to this gun. What rail adapter is on your gun? I have a sigsauer romeo4 for it already. Second question, what is the little mod you are using and how do I get one? Thanks Luke

Ataman, AP 16 owners, question
- Thread starter MikeVV
- Start date
The adapter is from Eagle Vision. They come in two lengths (or they did !)
You can buy the short version from Air Guns of Arizona. I went to the UK to get the long version.
By the "mod", I assume that you mean the suppressor (or moderator) ? As can be seen if you read this post from the top, several of us are using the Huma mod 30.

Sure, depends on HOW..."field" you are talking !?
It would be good to put the distance(s) you are talking about. Hard to give a good answer with out the "details".
There's a video on YouTube (Shooter 1721) that has a guy shooting aspirin off a balloon at 25yrds (I think it was), so yeah, it shoots well.

The targets range from 10rds to 35yrds with a kill zone from 1/2'' to 2''. Hunter class shoots off a bucket and sticks and open class shoots from a bum pad with no sticks. Most everyone uses a .177 but sense I can't find a Crossman 1720t I'm looking for other guns that would work.

The AP16 should suit you well.
Mike
P.s. - One thing...the grip angle. If you like a steep angle grip, you'll like the Crossman better. If you like a slightly more vertical, the Ataman will feel better. I've never cared for the steep angle of the Crossman, as also used in an Ruger, .22 pistols. Also the Glock line of weapons. But the Government 1911, .45 grip angle feels much more natural to me, so this is why I much prefer the more vertical grip of the Ataman AP16.

If you go looking into YouTube... You may find this -

According to this video (about 1:30 sec. in) he states that the gun puts out 12 to 17ft/lbs. So...what that tells me, is that if you stick to lighter weight pellets, you should be pretty close to your 12ft/lb desire
As far as adjustability, don't know, haven't looked into it.
Mike
P.s. - Also, the Pyramydair site says 14.75 ft/lbs. for the .22 . So again, shoot light pellets, should get you right there.
P.s. - Check this video. Watch the screen at the bottom, pellet weight vs. f.t/lbs

I have the standard length. The only change was wooden target grips from P.A. I have a red dot scope on it. Yesterday I shot it at 24 yards and was amazed at the accuracy. I checked a few clips for fps The first few times my extreme spread was only 4 over 7 shots. The last clip I shot was only 2 fps over p7 shots. Amazing to say the least. I also love the trigger. I haven't touched it which is unusual for me. I love this pistol and plan on putting a scope on it just to see what it'll do at 50 yards and maybe even further. by the way the 18.13 jsb were at 626 fps. thanks and good luck to all. Happy shooting.

Yes, it can be adjusted with the hammer spring pressure down to a 12 ft/lbs competition ready pistol. The standard version is very accurate with a 9" barrel, well balanced, and a good trigger for what you want to do with it.
