AirMaks Arms Current Krait setup

[dens228]

I’m just showing off my month old Krait 22.
I had a cheap bipod with too much leg play on it and just remembered I had this nice little tripod.

Sweet, exactly what I wanted too ... how did you know, even in .22 Great setup and a solid pick IMHO. What distances are you shooting and what food are you feeding that Krait? Backyard range there? Now I'm all excited.

 

[dens228]

JSB's, both Jumbo's and Hades in 15.89 grains. Shoots great. Most of my shots with it are under 40-45 yards.

I don’t find many threads on these. Have shot it much? we Would love a detailed review if you can.

My next purchase will be something small like this.

Head into "YouTube", you'll find plenty of info.

Here's a recent video on the Krait Lite (the Krait little brother).

Nice guns. No problems with either my Krait or my Krait Lite.

Well I'm not much of a reviewer but here's my take.
I still have it set as it was right out of the box with the reg set at 98 bar. I've had it about a month and have about 500 shots through it so far. Every shot, first to last, is spot on out to about 45 yards. It's shooting 15.89 grain pellets at 893 fps. If memory serves me right it was a tight consistent spread when I chrono'd it. I have a .25 cal 700 mm M3 with a few addons and love it but I tend to grab the Krait for smaller pests, it's so much lighter and easy to carry. I have a Belita suppressor on it. With my Iphone app it registers 76 dB's. But, that is with the Belita and with a Falx which tells me the app is picking up the noise from the hammer strike. The hammer strike is much louder than the pellet crack. My thinking is the hammer is set a bit heavy but seeing as it's shooting great as is I'm not touching a thing. I say that now but once it's not 100 degrees here and I get bored I may see if I can turn the spring down while keeping the speed where it's at.

I'm getting an easy three mags, 48 shots out of a fill but could probably get 64 with a small amount to spare to stay above reg.

I was going to get the extended rail to move the bipod or tripod up but this thing is so light and balanced I don't see a need.

I've tried a few slugs with it but as expected it didn't fare well. I didn't plan on slugs but figured I just try some for fun.

Thanks dens, that is what I was looking for.

Mike I know one can find anything on YT, but I much prefer to hear from people like you and dens228. I have too little patience for most YT content.

Mike,

To me, Your Krait lite with that wood stock is the most appealing of them all.

Does anyone know what the max power for the X krait is? FAC

Well I'm getting 29 fpe with a light pellet and low pressure so I'm sure it could go quite a bit higher than that. I definitely don't doubt it's ability to hit 45-50 fpe.

It’s a Sirui. I don’t remember the exact model. I bought it on Amazon.

I got the krait L .. changed the bottle to 580cc . Best money I have spend lately.. still a light pcp compared to my uragan standard .. I have keep the first arken that went for sale a sh4 4x14.. great little scope for this gun .. my only complaining is that for the price it comes only with one mag
And - NO - fill probe hole cover...that is a add on if you could find it for sale..

I got mine in .22 cal running at 63fpe shooting the h&n 30gr @ 975 with 150 on the reg

After a full day of boating yesterday I'm a bit beat so today I final followed through on a plan for the Krait. Well really an experiment.
It's shooting 893 fps and the hammer strike is quite a bit louder than the actual shot, so I decided to start turning the hammer tension down as I really thought it was higher than needed. 1 1/4 turns brought the speed down way too much, down to 840. 1/4 quarter turn back, so down one turn from how I got it from the dealer and bam. Perfect......Much quieter, and in MUCH, and the speed actually went up 10 fps to about 905 on average.

 

[dens228]

I finally gave in and swapped out my Athlon for the Zulus scope. The Athlon is now on my 700 mm M3 where it belongs anyway.

Question for you Krait owners. Would the location of the mag interfere with a left handed shooter (check weld?) TIA

I'm left handed, I don't even notice the mag.

Hey. I have a Krait Lite X in .25 , 700 barrel and 580 tank, for two months now and a couple thousand rounds through it. I was told by Air Maks that the reg on these guns are set at 140 bar. With that being said, the gun is extremely powerful. Shooting 35 gr slugs at 980 and 33 gr heavies at 1050 with the hammer spring pretty muchh maxed out. Backing off the hammer spring to shoot the slugs and pellets at around 930-950 produces exceptional accuracy and consistency. Just as accurate, possibly more than my Impact MK 2. Only down side is when backing off the hammer spring to slow down lighter pellets, it becomes erratic and looses it's consistency. So, I do need to adjust the reg if I want to shoot lighter pellets. I have tried all the JTS,AEA, JSB pellets and even with the hammer spring backed way out and not as consistent as when the hammer spring is tighter, this is extremely accurate with every pellet I have tried! With the 300 bar fill and the 580 tank, lots of shots! Build quality, fit finish top notch. Need to see a video on adjusting the reg, maybe I make one myself. Air Maks customer service is unbelievable and they get back to you in 24 hrs no matter what the question. The Huma regulator in the Lite is full adjustable like all Humas. They said they would try to produce a video. I also asked them too provide a better exploded view on line as the ones the have now do not identify part names, just o'rings, pins and screws? Hope this helps as there is not a lot of info about the gun for the differences between the Lite and standard Krait. All in all great gun, great price, great customer service!

I've found the same with my Krait regarding the hammer spring. It's very sensitive and becomes extremely inconsistent for the first several shots after sitting unless I have it turned up pretty high.
