I have to say the operating manual is rubbish and there seems to be no further info on their site.  Fill pressure is listed as 25MPa WTF is that when the gun's gauge is in bar pressure and this is explained any further in the manual or website. Now that is annoying.

Ah just went on a 'conversion' site, 25MPa is 250bar, why the f**k don't they just say that.

I remember the operating manual that came with my sharp ace pump up rifle. It quoted..... “Applies three or two drips of engine motor oil to each three parts of the pumping pines” and also tells you that the rifle is suitable “for small game and shooting”. Loads of useful information

Yes I think so Mitch. I really like it and will be taking it for a session on the ferals when the rain stops, perhaps tomorrow night then at some point I will let the rfd actually know

I think I’ve read that these have a lothar walther barrel in .22 and cz barrel in .177. They’re also available in .25 I believe?

I think you and Mitch are building up to buying one DB

Hmm, couldn’t rule it out I suppose Phil

I took the gun out with the Nitesite on last night, it was a sheer joy to use, so light and took a couple of rats and ferals from the dairy farm, very pleased with this little gun and I will have Mark Dempsey work his magic but at present I am happy to use it as it is.

I popped into the rfd today and sorted it so now she is all mine

Nice Phil . Don’t think you will be disappointed

[Dervburner 2,549]

I’ll be interested in how you get on with it Phil. I’m thinking that just maybe,....... I might need one as well

 

oops

These cheap rifles are coming into there own at the moment 

About time we got some good cheap rifles 

I just can't put this kral down 

It's that good 

Hopefully they may bring some new blood into our sport 

I mean now they don't need to find 100s of pounds to buy a top name rifle to start off 

Now they can get a new rifle that is just as good but half the price 

And even cheaper if its second hand

Go for it DB.   One thing to mention regarding the mags, I asked if there were any spares in the back room and promtly went in the back room to have a look, I did find a couple BUT while they were the same on the front, they had slightly different build up on the rear so they obviously make sure you have to buy the right one for each gun, a bit stupid but there you are. 

A very valid point Jimmy, I have to agree and my pal has the Kral NP-02 for a bit of fun, he loves it, accurate and 200 shots per fill for £350...........    I think I might sell that HW35 Jimmy as it never gets used and even less now

A friend of mine has a hatsan at44, the synthetic one with adjustable cheek piece and butt pad. He’s a pest controller and uses it for part of his job. I think he paid £300 for it. I’ve used it for a few days when he lent it to me to try out with some different pellets. I thought that for the money it was good, a bit heavy maybe, but it works well enough and it’s accurate. Some of these cheaper models represent good value I think.

I can confirm for the money, the P35 has to be one of the best (most accurate) guns I've ever owned (after tuning it up)

[philpot 4,967]

I have been in touch with Mark Dempsey to establish cost of a tune and carbon shroud/mod so after Xmas it will be going to have Marks magic touch just to make a good little gun even better.  Still loving it by the way.
