Huben pistol.

Mine was too. I believe the weak area is the unguided area within the buffer. When the buffer is struck, the only way for it to bulge is inward, possibly binding the spring. I believe this is causing the bending we are seeing.

Anybody know what this screw is for?
It’s not there on my K1, and it’s not present on all GK1’s..?
(This is a V1)

I seem to recall my GK1 has that screw, currently covered up from my sight mount. Guessing mine may have been built 8/2023 #255 group #2

Mine is 2023B00240, .22
I’ve checked some other .22 V1 GK1’s:
00068
00083
00118
No such screw.
It’s interesting, because I don’t see the scew on a V3..

That is very odd. I also have V1 in .25 with a low sequence number, yet my GK1 does not have that screw or port (see attached image). Which shop did you get yours from?

Mine is a V1, so the lever opens upward.
I got it from ‘Luchtbuks.com’, a shop here in The Netherlands (EU). I’m not sure but I think they source their Huben stuff directly from Huben (not from/via the guys in spain).
I’ve only checked the .22 GK1’s, so I’m not sure if the screw is ‘caliber related’. But most of the pistols do not seem to have this screw..

This screw is related to a power restrictor for countries that need restricted power. It will eventually be on all the pistols, whether the power restrictor is installed or not. Info from Kelly at Krazcool based on his conversation with Huben. Just easier to manufacture all receivers the same and install power restrictors when necessary.

V3 ?
....just got a pistol last week and it's a V1, when this V3 came out ? how about V2 ?
What are supposed to be the differences ?

I don't think they removed it. V 1/2/3 are just assembly and component differences so it just depends how they are allocating the receiver blocks.Interesting, if so; I really wonder why they removed the screw from the never V3’s

Sorry, I’m a bit confused by this
So the screw is a (restrictor) function that will be on all newer GK1’s, but it’s not on the V3 (I’ve seen in YT vids so far), while the V3 does have ‘newer’ components/part design?
But in the end all that matters is to know for sure what this screw is for, and if I can use it to (somehow, yet to figure out) mount a rail on top

The set screw will hold the restrictor when installed. That's why it makes sense for them to have the hole in all future production. If there is no restrictor the hole can probably be used for other purposes like a sight mount, may need to be sealed, haven't taken mine apart. My last pistol has it, prior one I don't think so but can't remember. Both of mine V1 .25 cal.Sorry, I’m a bit confused by this

Yeah that sounds logical, but why is the screw absent on V3’s? Those are newer productions right?
How can my V1 #240 have this ‘new’ screw, and the more recent V3’s don’t?
It’s the timeline (in serial #’s) where the screw shows up (and is later gone again) that confuses me
