Snowpeak Preordered my MAX1

Interesting mods. There appears to be an air block where the tube air block is on the Zelos & M60 feeding air into the upper tube.
There is also a gauge on the receiver just above where the burst disk is on the Zelos.
The only thing I don't understand yet is the tube under the butt. A plenum?

Quite possible, it is designed as a slug gun with, on paper, massive power.
I'll tell when I get mine, maybe next month.

Trifecta!
A $790 slug shooter!
SPA/Snowpeak/Umarex really seem to be firing on all cylinders lately.
If the Max1 turns out to be as good as the Notos/Zelos/M60B products, they are going to make it difficult for other manufactures to sell $2500 slug shooters going forward.
Time will tell!
I plan on watching this one carefully!
Congratulations!

Looks like it slipped as initially expected November and now into February of next year.
Tempting to pre order. But no idea on performance or anything really.
Anyone have any clue on what barrel we should expect in this?

"A small amount of guns may come in December, and those that pre-order first will get those but the rest of the order has an estimated in stock date of February 2025"
December, I think originally it was late November.
But if that gun gets close to its specs it will be a monster. Firing a .25 slug at 1100fps, damn raccoons are going to explode when hit.

Speed potential looks great but without accuracy not really important.
It’s to bad they don’t release more specs. Like barrell twist. Max magazine slug size etc.
But definitely could be a game changer.

Muzzle Velocity 1300/1200/1100 fps!
Snowpeak has a tendency to be conservative in their numbers!Might have to turn the regulator down a notch or two, and with the reservoir around the barrel, it seems to be in a different location than the Zelos.

You could ask Wes Bashforth, Airgun archery fun is his store.
I believe he goes by WesBob

I expect the mags to be the same, I'll bet the air path has been opened up and the plenum gives a huge shot of air.
The barrel is 50mm longer than the Zelos but I'd be surprised if they re-tooled for a new barrel just for the expansion of a model.

.177 mag is 24rd, .22 is 20rd, and .25 has 18rd.
300 bar fill with 550cc air capacity, it's going to have plenty of shots when tuned properly.

You know...
I have this friend of mine that just happens to make Zelos mags and they are almost 1/2" deep!
Now, don't go running to him quite yet, he's almost got it but not yet.
Here's a first prototype. Sexy, isn't it? Open frame, no cover, I can drop 46gr slugs in it!
