Hi Richard.Another good review.
You keep it really simple which is great.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks again 👍🏻
Thanks Justin. We've got a few more in the pipeline as well...
Ah Mr Saunders!
Great review. I share an at44-10 .177 with my father. It’s our back up rifle. Really good rifle and you can really see it in the air max. Don’t know how the .22 air max would perform, but my .177 at44-10 loves JSB exact 4.50
Just rewatched your review on the ATA arms airborne. I was torn between buying that or the Zbroia Hortitsia. As I found the at44-10 a bit heavy and long I thought I’d struggle even more with the ATA.
All the best!!! 👍
Thankyou. Enjoyed the Review. 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Olá Richard,Good review,the number of airguns in the current market is impressive. impossible to have just one, good job, cheers.
Ola Luis. Yes - too much to choose from! Thanks very much!
Good review Richard👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much Alan.
Just use the fill probe to push out the plug, no tools needed. Just love those magazines, they don't damage any pellets, quick to reload and if you need any, they're easy to make with a 3d printer. I made some out of glow in the dark filament for night time shooting (easy to find back when you drop them).
And I thought my TX200 was heavy. Good job the gyms are reopening. Enjoyed the review. Cheers!
It is a workout for sure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Richard.
Thanks or watching Henry.
Good review some nice guns on the market now for under the £500 mark 👍
Thanks very much Kevn.
Good review not sure on the looks of the rifle but I am sure some one will like the way it looks 👍😎
Thanks very much.
Hi there nice review only comment would be is not to poke the fill port with a screwdriver as the fill adaptor will just push the dust plug through and out of the way. It would be interesting to see you review the AT 44-10 with the Craftsman Vit Bullpup transformation kit .
Thanks Martyn. Yes, thanks, others have pointed that out too.
I have the .25 airmax,and it shoots dime size holes at 50 and 60 yards with the jsb 25.39 grain domes, shoots ok with the Hades might be a quarter at 50 and 60 yards
why did you go with the 25 and not the 22 cal? is there a lot of idfference?
@@fernandoban5050 more power,the .25 hitting squirrels in the head at a hundred yards
@@carlford9695 how many shots do you get from the tank with the .25 cal and under what settings?
Good review as always. Despite this rifle having some good points, the weight of this rifle will put a lot of people off it, especially as there's so many rifles/bullpups on the market now under £500 that weigh about half what this does
could do wth synth stock
Once you carry it for a while,it doesn't feel that heavy
yea and hip shooting learns fast also@@carlford9695
@@carlford9695 You say that, & i'd have agreed with you 20yrs ago as I used to use a BSA S10 around the fields, but aches & pains set in with age. It'll be ok for the younger shooters, but why do they need to make it so heavy? If it was a springer, it'd be perfect, but there's no recoil with a sub 12 PCP, so doesn't need to be heavy
If this is based on the AT-44, then I know it's good. The AT-44 is a classic and mine is AMAZING. One of the BEST values out there. It keeps up with all my Weihrauch no problem.
😂😂😂
I gotta stop watching your videos, I wanna buy everything you review! Nice one 👍
:) I can't promise its going to end any time soon!
Flyers count too. I believe you should try another pellet. Good video.
Richard please could you review the Kral np02 it looks fun but how accurate out to 30yrds ?
I'll add it to the list. Thanks for watching.
Push the fill plug out with the probe?
Why didn't I think of that? Thanks for watching.
yes i came here to give the same tip, does it with both my At44´s
I did that with my Flash
I resantley send a question on u doing a reveiw on the webley classic my mistake I ment the webley raider classic pcp
😂 We'll add it to the list in that case John!
looks like a walter wa 2000 so awesome
Just a thought, Try using the filling probe, to remove the filler plug.
Thanks Roy. You're not the first to point this out. Not by a long chalk!
Quite a nice gun, it is a bit 'Captain Nemo' as Red Pill Nibbler says, lol. I have an HW100 bull-pup, went to Drapers to buy the Walther one (reign?) but came out the shop £300 poorer with the Weihrauch! I just loved the soft touch coated wooden stock over the more plasticky synthetic Walther stock. Have you tested any of the Diana guns? I have a 54 Air King which is an 'odd-un', it has a sidelever and the action/barrel slides on the stock like a gun carriage :)
Hi Baz. Funnily enough we have a review of the BP coming up soon. I'd love to get my hands on a Diana but not sure who is distributing them in the UK right now...Thanks again for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 I'm not sure either though I think the parent company owns Daystate & Brocock, mine came from a gun shop up in Skipton North Yorkshire
Excellent advise regarding platforms. Thank you!
Can you suggest an FAC air rifle cheaper than the FX Impact M3 0.177, which can compete with it in power (47J) and accuracy?
Hi. Does it have to be .177? I only ask because I'd question whether 47J/35 ft lbs is too much power for a .177. You'd need a pretty heavy pellet/slug to be able to tame that power and get the velocity down to a manageable (accurate) level. And your choices for very heavy .177 pellets and slugs is limited. A 47J/35 ft lbs. .22 will deliver a 16/18g pellet/slug at close to 1,000 fps which I'd suggest is about maximum in terms of stability. In terms of rifles, the Daystate Wolverine R is worth taking a look at and is a few hundred pounds cheaper than the M3. The Brocock Sniper XR Safari is much cheaper still. In .177 they will deliver around 20 ft. lbs. which is about as high as I'd want to go in FAC. The Air Arms S510 is also worth a look, the TDR if you want a more tactical aesthetic. I hope that helps and please let us know if we can help further.
@@alphamilitaria2756 177 is a must - anything larger is not legal here. Looking to replicate this @100m+ czcams.com/video/ecv70wb3c0M/video.html
I own a .25 Bullboss that is basically the same platform. As mentioned, you should have cleaned the barrel to get tight results. Mine likes the JSB exact king. When buying a Hatsan you should spend an afternoon with polishing paper to make the internals work less gritty. When new , mine felt like it had swallowed a handful of sand before shipment, now everything works smooth as silk. I ditched the QE altogether (worthless piece of sh...) and replaced the shroud with a carbon tube(20x1x500 mm). At the end of the barrel is 1/2-20 thread so you can mount an aftermarket suppressor or make your own. Added advantage is that you can now pre-tension your barrel what helps with accuracy. I can now place groups of 5 within 4cm (.25) at 75 meter distance all day long. waiting for a Hatsan factor now..
Yes indeed, I neglected to say that the barrel is threaded so you can indeed remove the shroud altogether and fit a silencer directly to the barrel. Thanks for watching.
If I may ask...I was thinking of doing the same thing for quite sometime with my bull boss. Do you have anything around barrel to keep the carbon fiber shroud snug? Is the suppressor what hold the carbon fiber shroud in place?
@@erasmoalaniz I made my own suppressor from 3d printed parts and plastic drain pipe. The internal looks like some stacked square air splitters like in the mp5 suppressor photographs you can find on the internet. The rear cap holds the 1/2-20 nut and partially slides over the carbon shroud. This shroud stays centered on the barrel by this rear cap, the front rail mount and a small ring I printed that fits inside the shroud . I got to this after designing and testing some different designs and this works best (for me).
By tightening the suppressor i can adjust the pre-tension of the shroud until i find a setting that works for a certain distance. The sound that the shroud gives when ticking it with my fingernail gives me a good indication of the tension.
Dont spend money on some overpriced suppressor but get you a 3d printer instead and design a custom suppressor that works and finetune it. Great tool if you need any custom picatinny adapters or other parts, pays for itself.
ATA airborne or the hassan. Your honest say 👍
Of the two, I'd buy the ATA Ray.
would a small round magnet help get the filling pin out it would stay attached to the gun when the pin is in to saves carrying a screw driver
Hi Mike. As others have pointed out quite rightly, the easiest method is to use the pill probe to push the stopper through. Which makes very good sense. Thanks for watching.
Not a bad rifle, but that automatic safety would drive me mad , as for the fill port bung , push it out with the filling probe , 😁👍
I suppose you'd soon get used to it Phillip, but I know what you mean. Thanks for watching.
Hi Richard im new to your channel can you tell me how to adjust the trigger it has a long travel to get to the secound stage and also the secound stage has a lot of travel but im confuse on how to do it as i never have done it before i see it has 3 screws two small ones and a bigger one towards the end. please help if you can thanks.
Hi Robert. Welcome to our channel, and thanks for watching. To be honest, adjustment varies from rifle to rifle. Did you get an instruction manual with your rifle? If not, you can access one for the Hatsan Airmax here: drive.google.com/file/d/0BxckxLcz3WDjVzJKNmlxLVgyNUE/view. There's a section on trigger adjustment on page four which should help. Good luck.
the probe does a pretty good job of getting the plug out....imagine that.
Thanks Paul. That's already been pointed out several times. Imagine that.
Looks like you do some fishing... as do I. Is that a centrepin or a fly reel on the wall?
Good spot! That's my Youngs centrepin. I live not far from the Thames and nothing is better for trotting a stickfloat for roach :)
@@alphamilitaria2756 I'm near the Trent and have an Adcock Stanton, trotting same as you, on the Trent but also for Tench on the Grantham canal which is largely weeded up and disused, its Tench paradise!
Could you not use the fill probe to push the plug out
Why didn't I think of that? Thanks for watching.
Just a thought...but why don' t you just use the fill probe to push the plug out?
Hi yes. That has been suggested. Good idea.
👍👍
It looks like it was designed by Jules Verne - (in a good way)
It might have been a weapon aboard the Nautilus.
Ha! love that. know what you mean too!
Captain Nemo would approve :)
You doing a review for us FAC shooters.
Not on this one Ray. But we have a few other FAC rifles on the channel. Anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@alphamilitaria2756 well to be honest I'm just looking for something around £500. . Not silly monie like fx rifles. Yer they good but I'm impressed in what you been reviewing 👍
Also more interested in 2.5cal. Thanks.
I wonder how it would shoot if you did not rest the tank on the bag and used some real pellets.
What's the shot count please richard
Around 200...
Here's a question,what sub £500 has impressed you the most this year so far ?
Hi Luke. There's plenty to choose from at that price range. I have to say I've liked the Kral NP-03 and ATA Airborne. Really great guns to shoot and they perform well. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 must admit that ata did get my pocket tingling,I'm running a rat works scorpion se and rti prophet,I noticed your fishing gear at the back,if your ever in Devon I'm head bailiff on a fishery bring your guns and rods,
@@ProperRural That's very kind Luke. I'll take you up on that if I'm down your way.
I recon a different pellet would do much better . Look OK for the money though .
How much is it
01:16 - around £440 / £450 in the UK.
I would have liked the price.
You didn't say the magic word...
Seeing as you asked so nicely...£460.
Damn guy.... I can throw rocks more accurately than that thing will shoot...
FAR TO HEAVY...
No good gun. ACCURACY POOR.
Have you got one?
that is one ugly/heavy beast surely the at44 looks betteR! .this is like an attempt to copy the vulcan
