No I already have an aluminum handguard. Nice collection. What's wrong with the m lok on bravo3d handguard?

I can do $70 plus shipping because im going to put it on ebay for $85.

The Mlock is to small.
Hence he has discontinued the original by the looks of it. There is now a different front tank cover.

Let me see how the CNC stock works, I'll let you know about the grip.
Don't wait on me, sell it by all means.

So this option just popped up in ebay for 108€... I think I'm going for it! Finally an easy QD stock for the GK1!

Since Weevil is shy let me repost his very good take on the best pellets for the GK and why he does not seat. It needs repeating.

First, my assumption was many GK newbies would purchase a less costly lead pellet at first, like I did. 3X as much as lead pellets vs GTOs could scare someone off. At the time immediately following my jam, I checked Weevil's story with Kelly and he fully agreed with him, GTOs don't jam. A very good choice.

But then I ran into another problem, an issue with not just GTOs (aluminum pellets) all non lead. The indoor range I bought a membership to checks my ammo periodically and told me they will only allow me to use lead pellets. I don't argue, I just do it. I'm not a powder burners ideal profile $$$. I sense they look down on airgunners and if I'm not on my best behavior they would ban me. I stay low profile, kiss a$$ and limit my attendance to once a week, sometimes twice during weekdays but always at off hours. The indoor range is very close to my home, moves me out to 25 yards vs my backyard's 17 yards and I do like the target retrieval feature. The range is convenient during our atmospheric rivers, scorching hot days and it only costs me $225 per year. I think that's a deal.

Per Weevil

"GTOs. I have no issue with lead, it’s all based on performance and ease of use:

1. They are very hard. This means I can push them in to the stock gate without pressing down the plastic flange, which can bend the skirts of softer lead pellets. They require no seating and will not move from the back of mag as it rotates. This makes for very quick loading and zero jams/hiccups in 10k rounds.

2. They are very accurate. Because they sit tight and are hard, they do not get damaged by the violent act of mag rotation or shooting from the mag into the barrel. I discovered that benefit with the K1 rifle and found it was more pronounced with the GK1. They never yield flyers and shoot sub-MOA from this pistol.

3. Light weight can be beneficial, if it’s heavy enough. 16 (or less) grain lead pellets are too flimsy for this pistol and get chewed up, generating inaccuracy and wild flyers. In .22, the lightest lead pellet that I find acceptable is the (harder lead than JSB) JTS 18.1. I still see bent skirts in the mag and the target (soft duct seal) and get flyers as a result. I also find that all Hubens shoot more accurately at higher speeds, 880 and above. That’s a lot of FPE with an 18.1, but only 21fpe with the 11.75 grain GTOs. Lots of guys want big power but, for me, 21fpe is plenty. Also, the GTOs have the same BC as JSB Hades - validated at the UA range using their fancy chrony. They shoot very flat from 28-45y and are useful out to 60 or 70y. Shooting at 900fps/21fpe, I can shoot a mag with an ES of ~8 from 260bar then refill and reload. That better than many regulated guns and contributes to their crazy accuracy. Finally, lower power = less noise and less recoil/flip, the latter of which also means better accuracy. In summary, I find I can do more of what I want with less, aside from the cost!

Downsides. Cost is 3X that of regular pellets. I buy sleeves from UA and get a discount but they’re still pricey, but worth it to me. Other downside is that because they are so hard, they don’t expand. I can pick them out of duct seal and they look completely undamaged, aside from rifling marks. I could probably shoot them again and again but I don’t. If they hit metal, they flatten right out. Either way, since I shoot a lot in my yard, it makes for easy cleanup. Regarding pesting, many would be leery of their inability to expand, but in practice, I have found them to be just as effective, in terms of DRT, as Hades etc."

WGD, I'm new to airgunnation and don't think I can PM you. Also not sure if you are still following but have a question on your GK1 & GTOs.

Have you tried pushing the GTOs to about 990 fps which is about 25 ft lbs? Are they still accurate? Being useful to 60 or 70 yards as you state is incredible for something this lightweight.

Thanks!

So you dont seat the GTO's? Does it matter if I have a custom loading gate? Every pellet so far I have shot has jammed because they come unseated. I wish I could shoot something else than the AVS slugs. They are the only projectiles I have found that dont move.

I haven't been following the whole conversation. But on my V1 and V2 .25 the JTS pellets worked wonderful. I did have the aftermarket gate on both.
But compared to jsb, so much easier, not worrying to pamper the gun ie loading, or holding barrel up, or rotating 3 times just to make sure I was ok

Do you know if they were the 33 or 25 grain.
