DonnyFL has Niksan Rifles all for under $400. So i bought the .25 dual tank 850cc Escalade for $390 with free shipping.

If it is as good as its .22 Ozark brother that will easily be deal of the year. Great guns, as accurate as my Bobcat, adjustable power, smooth side lever, 4 magazines and a hard case.

They look pretty solid for sure. Please report back in the 25 when you get it.

I've been nothing but pleased with my Niksan Ozark .22. Niksan really only has a couple of guns. Different stocks and bottles/tube's but the action is pretty much the same. The Escalade and Ozark are the same gun, I pulled the buttstock off the Ozark and there is the capped fitting for the rear bottle.
22 vs 25 is just the barrel and probe from what I can tell.

From the Escalade can you remove the rear air tube and shoot it like that?
That would make it an Ozark.

Are they regulated?

No, but they are m18x1.5 so very easy to add one. Thatvis my Ozark with a Huben Power MAX-ATH Universal regulator.

very nice, I was looking at the BPs on the site but went w a Taipan Vet short instead

Is the DFL & Pellet Shop one and the same? They had the same guns listed at the same exact price when I was looking.

I've wondered about that. Bought the Ozark from TPS, had a minor issue with a cross threaded bolt, DFL sent the replacement part.

If not, then they are VERY good friends...

What are the thread specs on the air bottles?
If you have a spare air bottle you can buy an Ozark and turn it into an Escalade.

I don't have the Escalade yet. But I would guess m18x1.5. Would be kinda silly to use 2 threads for the same use.

That is inside the tube the buttstock goes in on the Ozark. Since the rifle is pressurized I'm not going to unscrew the fitting.

I'm guessing the bottle and buttstock for the Escalade and the buttstock on the Ozark are interchangeable.

The Escalade seems nice but too heavy and non-adjustable buttstock.
I will buy an Ozark and add a regulator in front of the air bottle, just like what you have above.

A plenum is a good thing.
The Huben Power Cricket Max-ATH has a 50CC plenum.
I've got others with 20CC plenums.
If You use a standard no frills regulator the

Not cheap but they are worth it.
I use Huma for internal regs and Huben f or external. I'm about to start testing an old Airforce Talon SS with the Airforce 50cc and the 20cc Z valve.

After purchasing the Escalade I went and dropped 2 Benjis at Huben Power for a Cricket Max-ATH Universal. I do love the 50cc plenum on that regulator. Only issue is you can only see one Guage on the regulator due to the extension on the stock. Not a big deal, I put tank pressure as the visible and just use the gun gauge to read outlet pressure.

I bought an Ozark and will add a regulator.
How is the air tube connected to the receiver?

Do you think this regulator would work: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806188614651.html
