Huben GK1

[Adamcarl]

Does anyone know where I can get a Huben GK1 .22 caliber V2? I have a V3, but I prefer the design of the second run.

@Adamcarl A lot of what you may want to know can be found here. Maybe contact one of the shops in the “Where To Buy a GK1” section of this thread.

I’d contact Kelly at KrazCool first. Then Zach at Ares.

Thank you!

@Adamcarl no problem.

The V1, V2 and V3 were all made the same time. The V2 wasn't the second run as you say.

@lee5euk That's news to me. Do you have evidence of this claim that you can post here?

I thought it was. Anyway, I like the design of the V2 better. Just aesthetically speaking

Does the regulator on the V3 make a big difference over the V1 and V2?

No Gk1 is regulated.

No Gk1 is regulated.

I thought I read somewhere that the V3 was regulated, maybe I'm wrong. So then what is there really different between the V1 V2 and V3?

 

[longdog]

The magazine release lever on the V3 pulls down while the V2 pushes up to release.
Not sure of any other differences.

@longshot81 You probably did. I remember a thread where something like that was claimed. I don't think that poster knew what he was talking about if it wasn't a custom GK1.

I thought the UK GK1s are regulated in order to stay under the UK's pistol power limits.

They are "regulated" by the govt.....but they do not have a regulator in them.

The only regulated GK1 is through Francisco's shop. It's aftermarket parts and would leave you with a small plenum. The GK1 self-regulates well enough for a pistol.

I have a V1 in .25 and a V3 in .177. The main visual and functional difference is the up vs down on the loading lever. I believe there are even differences within the V3 line. huben3dparts sells a RDS and a pic mount rail that use a pre-drill hole in the top of the receiver - my new 177 V3 does not have that extra threaded hole.

Huma also sells a kit with gauge/fill port and regulator.

Huben now has a regulated version of the v3 now available pricey though

That threaded hole is a part locating/holding set screw on my GK1. It can be seen inside the bore past the magazine. When I got the newest @M0ist0ne red dot mount, the new screw I put in was shorter so it didn't interfere with airflow.

Well as I'm the UK's Huben warranty repair guy for Huben in Spain, I kinda know my stuff.
Plus I am also personal friends with Gregor (who invented it) and although Huben asked for his input regarding the production model, they didn't actually take all of his points/recommendations on board.
