Is it going to snow in north Queensland? Actual company transparency... who new that would still exist in this day and age. You've told us exactly what's going, so I'm happy to wait a bit more.

I purchased a v1 of the buckmaster 12g roughly 1.5 years ago in the black synthetic with a 28inch barrel and I had it detonate out in the field whilst using it. The tube had appeared to come loose over time whilst using it (I would always make sure it was tight every time I would take it out of the safe) and it also damaged the internal threads in the tube/piston. This caused gun powder and debris to fly into my eyes which led me going into hospital to get my eyes flushed out. I also had a close friend have the identical shotgun in the wood grain finish and like mentioned, it split the timber where the button release is. Both examples happened within 2nd/3rd time of either gun being used and both had less than 100 rounds put through them. I would personally stay away from these shot guns, although the concept for these guns are a great idea and the button release is in a great spot, these shotguns are just cheap and nasty. No firearm should have substantial faults like so and clearly haven't gone through the adequate testing and I simply do not trust the v2 to be much better at all. Such a shame as they have a lot of potential.

Is the first batch through customs yet?

Similar to how Warwick made a lighter version of their rifle, is there any way to drop the weight without compromising quality?

Black

Not sure if this has been answered, but is it possible to put a two stage trigger in there?

Any ETA on the 7 shot arrival in Australia? I've pre-ordered and would also be interested in cerakoting option if possible. Thanks!

Hoping there will be some cook cerakote options. That'd be sick

Accuracy??????????

Needs a 10 shot chamber

I have ordered that tactical version with a 28" barrel and 10 round tube mag for birds. If it works well I'll get a 20" tactical with 7 round tube for a scrub gun. Hopefully it all works well and is reliable because i had no luck with the Axor pushpig.

It kills me inside that I go this just for what you said I can’t take my cat c with me when I’m hunting the new laws would make me a criminal if I had one please done vote labour

Not in WA 😔

Will be interesting to see how the box mag fed Turkish shotguns function - the big American manufacturers haven't yet got those hard-to-feed flat ended, rimmed 12ga shells to work reliably from box mags. Tube mags are proven in quality generations-old pumps and autoloaders. We find shotguns marginal for culling already, in fact Cat C gear is a waste of time and a big compromise, however the streamlined tube-fed shotgun design handles well out of cabs, no big mags catching on doors, shirt sleeves and steering wheels. The only benefit is that they are fast to unload the firearm when coming back in, but the malfunctions and ergonomic bastardry outweigh that benefit. I would rather have a 7-shot tube mag and a few PVC speedloaders beside the seat. Indeed, it is interesting to see the opinions of others with varying experiences.

I love this system, very impressive.

Just don't run up the gutter in your car or you'll have your licence rescinded

If chasing in the back of a car the detachable mag will get in the road of everything. Be better with a longer mag then load 2-3 at a time with one hand, why fumble around with mags?

Bloody legend! Great insights.

Interesting. The last time that quick-change tube magazines were a big thing, was the late 1850s, when the Spencer rifle came out.

Our gun laws still suck

Reminds me of Leader Dynamics 223

A handful of tweaks and refinements shows how solid the original design was. Well done guys. I can see this being a huge success for you

What's the point? WA won't be able to own them and neither will any other state soon, maybe spend some money and join the fight against Labor

Hi Bastian, in a previous video you spoke about the Chimera 308 being changed to use pmag style magazines. Has this happened or does the 308 model use a mag unique to the Chimera?

Thanks for the update!!🎉

Really interesting torture test, designing a new firearm can be challenging. Makes you appreciate what Stoner and Kalashnikov achieved. Does the gas port hole inside the bore have sharp edges? If the edges were bevelled, would this help to cut down on copper getting stripped from the projectile? Or would this mess with the bullet travel or gas flow too much? How is the piston system going to handle fine dust in the outback? Would it be too difficult to design an adjustable gas block, so you could open it up a little to 'adverse' setting when the copper or dust starts to build up? Even shut it off when you want single shot. Have you thought about replaceable steel rails inside the receiver for the bolt carrier to ride on? Thanks for the update, cheers.

Is there a approximate timeline for the 9mm or 308 Eureka

When’s the shipment of the l/h ones coming in ?

So when are they arriving in Australia?

This could be interesting, and it doesnt look like a ar15 knock off.....finally

Would make a good stocking stuffer

How would you describe the recoil impulse of this rifle compared to a manual action? I'd imagine it has less felt recoil because the gas system absorbs some of the energy, but I imagine the bolt flying back might make it feel almost like there's two impulses? How controllable is the muzzle rise? Just a question out of curiosity, I suppose

Will this be illegal in The nanny state come mid 2025 😢

Great to see you guys sharing your testing, failures and solutions like this. Keep up the great work.

I am very keen for this rifle, it is a great step forward for Australian gun owners. However, I do not think you should of opened up ordering and taking payments before the rifle was complete and ready to ship. I am all for waiting for the perfect product. However, after taking our money I would have expected the rifle to be ready for delivery. Keep up the good work, keen to finally see the rifle.

Well done! Looks epic! NSW Cat B yet?

I personally love the transparency you guys have. Showing your failures and how you are going to fix it, and sharing your findings and thoughts is extremely genuine and very impressive for a modern company. It actually makes me want to buy one just to support your company and your ethics. We need more people like you guys in business.

😁😁😁

I definitely want to buy one 👍

Couple of ipsc or service optic matches will see end users working it as hard as you have. Well done on testing it hard.

Looking forward to NSW approval. You seem to be doing everything you can to make sure the rifle will comply with NSW regs, so there should be no reason to block it...

Thanks for the update team, and Merry Christmas 🎄❤

ugly gun

🇦🇺😎👍Sounds like a good product in the making . Keep up the good work . Merry Christmas 🎄and a happy New Years 🎈 🪅🎏🎉🥂🍬

Great work. I will buy one.
