What pistol did you shoot today

A bit of range time with my Soviet Comrade.
Just finished rebuilding with the addition of a Delrin spring guide, only to find that the piston seal is hardly touching the cylinder wall - so the fps could be better, but a new seal is on order from Poland which will hopefully sort that out.

Modski that is an interesting looking gun. After it is resealed etc. let us know how it shoots for you. Be Well Brother Pistoleros, B.
It is already much better than when I first got it, made the spring guide, lined the piston and polished anything that rubbed against anything else.
Also made a new breech seal arrangement that took the transfer port down from 4.5mm to 3mm.
Fps has gone from around 290 to over 350, hoping for more when the new piston seal arrives. 🤞

Yes, that spring is wonky, but it is now much more constrained than the the original arrangement. 😁
I have been shown a supplier in Ukraine that does gas rams that can possibly take the fps to 550!

Very cool! Never saw one of these before. I have a keen interest in springers and especially historical novelties like this 👍
 
Very cold, set two targets up 30 yards , came in to warm up, Set tripod up took Huben GKl 25 out 17 shots 1st target, not fast but bang bang ,, Came inside warm up,
Grabbed the Huben GKl 25 caliber shorty, 2nd target 17 shots, not fast but not slow, Came in side to warm up , went back out checked the targets , OH MY
I could cover a quarter on both targets ,,, Pellet pistols at 30 yards with red dots and a blind man in the freezing cold shoot this kind of accuracy , Dam this pistol is bad as-s , The accuracy and power just flips me out.....

My Baikal 46M has quickly became my favorite. Russian engineering (is that a thing?) with remarkable accuracy. I think I need a true 10m pistol (Walther?, Feinwerkbau?, Steyr?) to compere it to, but those are pricey. Anyways, off hand at 15 feet in my garage. The one low shot was a misfire, very sensitive trigger..

The GK1 is just such an amazing pistol! I also have the .25 GK1 with a green dot and it is so consistent, reliable, fun with the semi-auto, and like you when I do not have much time I can easily plink 25-30 yards and group in the bullseye effortlessly. I sold my other air pistols as they were just not much fun compared to the GK1. My other pistols had such wimpy power compared to the GK1 and only can get accurate in much shorter distances. The GK1 can be on point out to 50 yards, not many other air pistols can do that....
 
The Wolf made by Steve Harper. Predecessor to all Daystate electronic rifles.
Five brownie points to you!

Sadly it only came with enough air in the cylinder for one magazine, so to try it out properly I need to work out what is needed to connect it to my styrup pump, then I can try out the delights of the electronic 'trigger' and the handraulically driven 11-shot magazine.
