Where can I buy a new Huben K1 Gen 4

Sent you a PM with a link on the other site Nate. You're going to want a muzzle for that 😛

I'd check with Joe Brancato of airtanksforsale.com. He is a sponsor here and where I bought my second Huben. You better have a fast compressor and a pellet sponsor. ?  

They like the heavy pellets best....

I just bought a .25 Huben from Airgunsofarizona, price was good also.  Regards, Tom

Thanks for the link. I want to get one because they sling HEAVY ammo really fast. Sounds awesome. I thought Joe only had Gen 2 but I'll get ahold of him and ask. Thanks again for the link! -Nate 

Solved! Looks like Krale and AOA have Gen 4 Hubens. Thanks for all the help!

Now I just need $1800...any help with that?

Just kidding. -Nate 

Whoops, just talked to AOA and they said they didn't charge my CC as they sold the last one last Friday.  They are expecting 50 more guns and parts in 60 days or so.   Regards, Tom

This got me thinking I may need a .25 too. My .22 has been fine, just I normally shoot a .25 when pesting. Called Joe Brancato and he's about a month out he thinks for the next shipment. Damn you Nate!!! ? 

.25 has my interest also, should do 90-100fpe out of the box.  Hopefully.  Regards, Tom

Rick, well you returned the favor, because now I want a 25. I will have to decide on one caliber. What sold me on the gun was Joe's video about the K1 where he said that you can push a 22 bullet slug at 1100 feet per second if you wanted. Then I saw the pictures on krale. The gun is finished so nicely. Plus it looks like I collect semi-autos now. Because I just got a monsoon. I'm waiting for it to come in the mail.

I'm more interested in accuracy than speed. My second gen Huben has acceptable grouping. I do wish they would put a manometer for the air tube. Normally I figure after two magazine loads it's time to fill again. the only problem there is I also will load as I shoot. So I lose track of shot count.

I just sold a Monsoon a few months back. I find i just don't shoot rifle length guns as much. If it jams wind the magazine spring one more time. Standard wound magazines often get mixed with that gun.

I have been waiting for Huben to produce some more of their bullets; they seem to work best in that gun.  Does anyone know if their bullets are available yet?  I won't buy the gun until there is a good bullet available.  Are they making a .25 cal yet?  Not sure I would want a .25;  the bullets will probably be considerably more expensive.

What's the difference between Gen 4 and Gen 2 ? Has there been a Gen 3 ? 

Good question. 

Here is what the Gen 4 has: Improved regulator that refills faster and more accurate, gauge exacter and improved sealing, power regulation system improved and reinforced. Airgun Heaven says the are one of the very few in the world that truly stock, service and deliver this latest version. Here is a link: https://airgunheaven.com/en/huben-k1-22-black

There is a Gen 3   http://www.kourkbas.4tyshop.gr

P.S. Krale Shietsport has Gen 4 for $1700 shipped. AG of Arizona has them for $1499 (I think it's Gen 4) ...that's the best price I saw. 

Now, do I get a .25 or .22? 

Bean, I'm a big fan of your funny movies on BBC. I used to watch them all the time.  

I am going to call Joe B at www.airtanksforsale.com  today and ask him about Huben bullets and what to use.

I have some NSA slugs so I thought those would be the best. ...but Huben bullets sound cool. 

Airgun Heaven said this about AMMO: The special pellets are in stock too (JSB Beast) plus Huben Solids.... The new imporoved JSB Monster also performs great om moderate power level.

If there's ever any doubt between two calibers, the thing to do is buy both.  Regards, Tom

I would buy both. Except that I really want to get an impact X as well. So many guns, so little time...

First I was about to say that I was leaning towards the 25, since that gun has power to spare. Might as well push a 25 as fast as you can rather than a 22

But then it occurred to me, there will be a wide variety of ammo available in 22. Many manufacturers will have heavy 22 pellets. So now I'm thinking probably the 22.

I need to research the BC on each of those calibers

Hey, I was trying to choose what caliber and this video helped me alot.  Matt at AirArmsHuntingSA showed how a heavy H&N type .22 pellet can have a better BC than a .25 cal. 

If you shoot pellet guns your should watch this.

Here is the link: 

I got a 25 cal from AoA.

I shot a 48 grain .251 cal HP bullet from Hunters Supply at 22MPa. (Hunters Supply cast bullets are not very round but fit the K1 very nicely)

It sent the bullet at 968 fps which is 100 fpe.  I’m afraid to dial up the pressure much more since 22MPa is just in the red on the regulator.  I’m pretty happy with that result.

That's what I've been waiting to hear. Someone's experience shooting some heavy ammo. So you're telling me that you get some nice accuracy from that combo?

What kind of groups are we talkin? More or less....

So, I haven’t had a chance to sight in well yet.

I need a new place to shoot this thing.  I live in a residential area. Bullets are just poking through some 2x8’s that I have as a backstop in my back yard.  That worked great for my pellet gun - not sufficient for this.

for what it’s worth, I shot several rounds at about 15 yards within a nickel area.  I’ve been shooting the Hunters Supply bullets which are very inconsistent.

Sorry I can’t provide more at this time.

Thank you for letting me know those bullets are inconsistent. I have not had a chance to call Joe at air tanks for sale and ask him what bullets he uses. I'm still trying to decide between 22 and 25 caliber. So I really appreciate your info.

New England Airgun says they have 2 more available in .22  delivery end of november.

HUBENs are ALWAYS in stock, and I have 1/2 x 20 ADAPTERS, etc. for them

We have been selling Hubens for a few years now.  We were the first and only one to import them, and we know them like the back of our hand.   We always stock them, so no need to make a deposit.

Just call us at (714) 907-0067 and we'll ship one out.

When I search on Expert HPA site for Huben, a picture of a Gen 2 pops up with a price of $1695

When I click on it no addl info pops up.

I find The website hard to navigate and cluttered compared to most.

2 pennies

Hi Joe, I'm interested in the .25 Huben.  What ammo do you have for it?  Are there Huben slugs avail yet in .25?  What gen are the ones you have in stock?

Thanks for your time.

Contact Kelly Schmidt  krazcool.com he has great customer service here in the Kansas City area, actually Smithville Missouri 816-516-3681 he's a great guy an knows how to work on the Hubens.

Hubens aren't meant to be match target accurate guns FYI, they are meant to BLAST THINGS and have LOTS OF FUN SHOOTING. I have two of them. Don't get all tied up on shooting them on paper at 50 and 100 yards, you will only get frustrated. Go plinking with it and have FUN.

HA

I second that ,I've had many deals w/ Kelly over the yrs. & got my first Huben K1 from him. He stocks factory parts & will service & repair them. HTH      rhew
