cant get the site to come up Paul,are huben now making a revolver??they are pretty inovative bunch with some the pcps they making so dosnt surprise me they like me figured out that pcp revolvers make perfectly good sense as a concept for developing really good hunting pistols mate,i have long wondered when some airgun manufacturer would figure that out,just surprised its taken one so long to figure it out,when you look at pcp airguns without blinkers on ,the majority use some form rotary mag,all a pcp revolver is really is a proper handgun design that allso uses a rotary mag ,when you look at the usual way pcp pistols are designed and made,they are all just short carbine versions of mostly bolt and side lever rifles minus the buttstocks,these are really just cut down or sawn off rifles,not properly designed pistols mate,which are the most primative form of hand gun,primative pretty much covers most pcp pistols as they are made today,compared to todays pcp rifles what passes for pcp pistols hasnt yet got past the sling shot stage lol!!!i came to the conclusion years ago that the airgun industry designers dont have clue what a pistol actually is when it comes to pcp airguns it seems to me that any pcp airgun without a buttstock is then considered to be a pistol by the industry and many others,as sawn off pcp rifles seem to be the best they can come up with mate. cheers mike

further to my last post,german company Rhom produced the twinmaster pcp target pistol as a pcp revolver,these are great little pistols,which unfortunatly are no longer made,if Rhom could figure out pcp revolvers were a good idea,why couldnt the rest figure it out too eh??? cheers mike

its a pretty clever carbin to pistol conversion thats for sure,specially when he hasnt modifyed the carbine in such a way he cant put the pistol back to origional carbine easily,its powerful too,i get a max 33fpe out my revolver of regulater for 13 shots,hubin pistol getting 19 shots at evan higher fpe,up round 40 fpe i think,so itys an impressive bit of kit mate,allso being a semi auto makes it evan more intersting. never figured out why airgun industry cant produce any decent and properly thought out and designed pcp[ hunting pistols.hubin the type of company that once they realise how good this mans pistol is,they may just build it themselves mate,but we will never see one in this country mate,we may not be evan able to get the rifle in now either,thats how phucked up this countrys got today.just shows tho how clever some hobbist can be eh!! cheers mike

what is really cool bout this pistol is the way the guy who built it,took what is one awsume 22 cal rifle and figured out how to customise it into an awsume hi performance handgun without modifying the origional rifle,so the gun can be put back into its origional form simpliy by removing the pistol barrel and some easily detatched parts,this is a very clever custom pistol design concept obviously well thought out by a clever guy,hubin could do very well by copying and producing a kit to go with their rifle this way,i am sure would sell very well. time you got back in the workshop nunga. cheers mike

dont know wot nungas got in mind but i am in planning stage for a new 25 cal pcp repeating rifle,have most the materials needed,just got to work out some technical stuff yet,got most the first rotary mag made,these are tricky little buggers as they are quite small cassette type mags holding 6 25 cal pellets and fit completly inside the receiver,being a lever action rifle the receiver is a tricky machine job on its own as its all machined out of a rather large chunk of 6061 with valve and all the working parts inside,you know me Paul i never do things the easy way,got be a bit of a challenge or there no fun in it eh!!like most my projects these days,just like trying something bit different to the usual,as never know what you can do til you try it eh! , cheers mike
