Huben GK1 - Carbine or Stock Mods

[AJ_Roberts]

I’ve had a adjustable butt pad made for Daniel_dssa stock, it looked odd and unfinished with just the plain end

I can relate, I just turned 72. I can't take the italics off sorry, senior error. Obviously I'm a Huben and www.krazcool.com fanboy so take what I say with a grain of salt. I don't know your shooting environment or your physical strength. I really like my K1, I live in a California suburb where the lots average about 7000 sq' and I still shoot it in my yard, no suppressor, but tuned well down. When I go to the indoor range or the wide open spaces I can easily kick it up a notch. It's a very versatile gun. That said, it has significantly more bulk than the pistol. Therefore at our age a pistol with a folder is very compelling product, simply from a size and weight factor. I would chose pistol and go through www.krazcool.com to buy it, add a folder and get the attachment parts from https://huben3dparts.com/products/ . Light, powerful and you can easily resell it if you don't like it. Be sure and go to youtube to review krazcool's support videos, this is important. There are 2 common user errors with the pistol and the carbine for that matter. Allowing the magazine release lever to slam back on its own, it won't be long before it breaks, trust me. #2 be sure you seed the pellets properly and rotate the magazine before shooting. Make sure it rotates smoothly scanning for potential jams before you fire. If you get a jam, stop, don't fire it again, go to youtube, search GK1 jams. Kelly has a video on loading the GK1 properly, please watch it. I learned to tear down my Hubens because I made these mistakes and a few other bone head mistakes. Gregor is the father of GK1s, subscribe to his channel/library https://www.youtube.com/@gregorkamensek3923 he knows his stuff. Lastly, the pistol is really loud, you will more than likely need a suppressor. Everyone has a suppressor opinion and that's fine, here's mine. The OEM looks great but, many love it, but I'm not impressed by it's performance. I have a number of suppressors, IMO and I've put a meter to all my suppressed guns, this suppressor out performs them all. Its simple to add or subtract baffles modulating the noise level less or more as required. And this feature is big, it's easy to clean. https://www.impulseairgun.com/product-page/ia-1350 Ya it's pricier and I added a 5th baffle to further reduce the noise. Noise suppression is #1 on my have to have add on list. I don't want my neighbors complaining and asking me to quit backyard shooting. I absolutely love sitting in my yard, watching sports on my outdoor TV, on-line gambling, drinkin a beer and killin paper, it's freakin nirvana. My apologies to the morality police. I don't want to lose that privilege, so suppressor cost is a non-issue to me. Get the GK1 and the guitar then strum between shooting sessions. I think you would agree that at our age mental exercise is job 1, there is no such thing as too much. Good luck.

Have you perchance also compared the Impulse against the Huggett Magna? Thanks
