Custom Huben GK1 from Palm Beach Airguns
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
I was really hoping it'd hold more than 19 .177 projectiles?? Not a deal breaker though. It's enough different than my Steyr ProX to be interesting as a pistol and a lightweight carbine. I'd use it mostly for plinking and a backpack gun for hunting.
Might as well go 22 or 25 I suppose.

Just keep in mind you still need oversized ammo even in 177. The only ammo so far which fit snug in my 177 GK1 are the JSB 13gr redesign and the 16.2gr Beasts. All others I've tried will slide around. I haven't tried JTS or GTA lead free yet so those may fit better.

That's what Kelly said that his testing said the 13 rd did pretty good. How does your shoot

You might have better luck finding oversized.22 Projectiles. And they should be quieter and more efficient than .177.

Call me biased but my version is still the best looking and practical carbine (even Gregor agrees) !!

Thanks!
I really hope steyr doesn't make this a super expensive alternative, otherwise there is no competing against Huben.

I'd call yours a close second
I like the mod with the wrap, but I prefer to keep it as compact as possible on the front end.Upvote 0
Thanks.
I like semi's which is why I have a old LP5 and a ProX. These work great and are high quality however I'm looking for a odd combo of attributes that don't exist together in a higher quality pcp.
The ProX is close except it's heavy-ish. It meets my needs in a few ways already, 22 cal, 28 fpe, 10 shot semi, removable mags, decent trigger, about 70 shots a fill. I like it which is why I've kept it.
The GK1 comes closer than the ProX in a few ways that I prefer.
The leshy2 would work for me except 8 shots mags. I do like the cap that fits on the mag which prevents pellets from jamming the gun.
If I had my way I'd have a compact semi pcp that used high cap stick mags and slugs. There's nothing out there like that yet.

Here you go. Only drawback is it’s not as compact as a gk1 carbine. But it’s got the stick mag. And it’s more than twice the price lol.
Valka Falcon - Fully Automatic Airgun
The Valka Falcon is the world's first fully automatic airgun. Crafted from machined steel and aluminum, the Falcon was designed to be instantly familiar, with nearly the same form factor, weight, and recoil as an AR-15.

The sidewinder pistol that's coming out shouod fit the bill. I'm hoping the shot count isnt half of what the huben gk1 provides.
