AirMaks Arms Krait Lite?

[Loff]

Is the Light just a wood-stocked version of the regular Krait?

No, short answer is - Lite is without externally adjustable regulator. It is mostly for UK, sub 12 ft/lbs market.

There is precious little information out there on this rifle. AirMaks' site doesn't even list it, and as asked before, I still haven't found fpe, velocity, shot count examples, etc. They do have the manual available, however.

The lite is the lower priced Krait with the wood stock. It doesn't have the second rearward gauge for the regulator, or external reg adjustment. Lite means lite on price I am told.
I had to de-tune my HS to get 950 fps (60 fpe) with .22 25.39 pellets as it was shooting them at over 970- fps when I got it. Luckily it shoots the jsb 25.4's very well at this speed (950) at around 50 yards/54.
I get about 70 shots from 300 to the factory set reg pressure of 150 bar (I get a little more than 70 shots at this velocity ) Has the same 480 cc cf tank and a 60 cc plenum. It also has a 0.222 diameter barrel that's polygonal and un-choked. This is the Long, Lite .22

From what I understand you can adjust it but have to do it the way you do on most airguns. I'll have to look further to make sure though.

Regulator is an adjustable Huma.located at the front of the plenum tube. Once u get it down takes 15 -20 min to degas and adjust. You will need to adjust the regulator if you want to shoot different weight pellets/slugs. I basically have a hot setting, which is the factory 140bar, for heavies at 950, and when I lower the reg 1/4turn it shoots the lighter stuff at 900. Perfect for me.

The Lite also uses a different block which means the standard Krait arca rail will not bolt up to the Lite. There are Lite specific rails.
