Not a patch on the GK1. The downside of the removable mag is that it exposes the air passages making the Western guns much louder than the Hubens. The mags are also very fiddly. However, given that it’s so ugly, I might just pick one up.

Western Airguns Mordax pcp!
- Thread starter .177Guy
- Start date
Just cause it's made in the USA does not mean it's better, just as just because it's made in China it doesn't mean it poop.
You'd be doing yourself a favor getting a GK1 regardless. If you ever wanted to hunt with it instead of just plinking you have the ability to shoot the 16gr beast pellets over 930fps out of the .177 gk1

I should have been a bit more precise in my response, as I was not referring to quality or bashing the country of origin. I was referring strictly to the price of the unit versus origin. The cost is what seems to drive some people to certain brands versus others. And we would all do better to promote our country's products.

I can agree with this statement, although the prices items made here shouod come at a lower price, the fact that you could send the gun to western airguns for a fix is an added benefit.

I heard about it several months ago; that being several months after I predicted Western Airguns would (eventually) produce exactly that, with exactly those features. I'm not a professional soothsayer; just a pretty good amateur. How do I do it?
Being of strong Realist persuasion, leaps of logic and reason come naturally. Having my finger on the pulse of airguns, airgun competitions and (especially) air pistols, and my fingers often on the grips or shoulder stock of a .22 GK1, it took no genius leap of logic to predict WA would adapt their rifles to pistol form like Brocock, RAW, Colt, Remington, others and me before them. My (latest) spins on the concept-
Only makes sense (read that, dollars) that Western would adapt their platform to pistol/carbine also. Glad they've arrived at the party. The more, the merrier!
My next prediction is the mood in the U.S. will soon change for the better; and with that change airgunning and shooting competitions will grow and prosper.

I mean, those are the stats for the .22 only. Im sure the .25 and .30 will have more power. I also saw pictures of a Mordax with a bigger airtube. So the shot count will also vary depending on how you configure it.

I hope so. I just put my Huben shorty on ebay last night. Im willing to come down on price if I can sell it here. Check it out if your interested.

Wow,
yeah man,
i m kind of confused with my gk1 .177
if I wanna flip targets at 30 yds I need to power up which means a lot less shot count from this 85cc tank!!!

Breaking News: the .30 cal Mordax is delayed because of cycling issues… and they won’t be available until late December. The .22 and .25 will be available this week or next.
I changed my .30 order - don’t want a fidgety cycling semi/full auto.

It has been officially released!
A couple thoughts right off the bat though. (Btw I’ll skip past all the awesomeness because I know what we’re all looking forward to). Huge missed opportunity to have a higher fill pressure, we now have pretty widely available 5800 psi compressors and even a 7k. Where they’re not using a CF bottle they have control over this. Energy from the .30 seems awfully low, AoA generally has their max fpe specs at the very edge of what’s possible unlike Huben which understated it significantly.
I’ll need to hold it to actually feel the ergonomics but seems like the folding stock should have some drop down for proper sight alignment. Also business end pressure gauge, I thought we were past this… And they said a longer tank (corresponding to upgraded barrel lengths) is offered but why not offer one with a larger diameter for the stock config? Small increases in diameter have a large impact on volume (I’m aware of Barlow formula so wall thickness would go up as well).
