AirMaks Krait sub 12 overview

[@guydgreenfield]

Can absolutely vouch for the independence of the channel. See these guys every single week shooting. Totally free from any kind of influence. Anybody that says otherwise is quite simply totally wrong in any way and needs to wind their neck in. The work done here is amazing. I for one full heartedly endorse this channel for it's current non bias work. Keep it up guys. See you Saturday.

[@paulblundell8033]

Can also back up their independence. Cannot believe anyone would question it.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks Guy, i don't know why people think we get the guns free, we don't do much to sell them for manufactures, we just point out the good and the bad and let people make there own minds up🙄 thanks for watching 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks Paul, it's a bit strange that some people think this 🤨

[@davidkenneth499]

upgrades they make for the Krait I would be interested in getting for my gun, keep up the good work guys.

[@markjohnson2166]

Picked up my Krait Compact today from Crawley Surplus. Very friendly and helpful place. While they were doing the paperwork had a good browse around. Top store. Looked again at the Maverick, nice rifle but that cocking arm just made my mind up, again. The BRK Ghost was there too, again, very nice but being told by the manufacturer that .25 was ticket only made me realise I made the right choice. After all, we are adults and know the UK laws. To cut a long story short, the moment I picked the Krait up and information provided on this channel by Jeff confirmed spending £1k+ was a no brainer. Its built like a tank and more accruate than I will ever be. A lost sale for BRK / Brocock / Daystate. Their loss. This channel is great stuff. Many thanks. :)

[@sub12airgunners]

nice one👍 the boys are great down at CSS, glad your happy they are a fantastic gun 👍 enjoy

[@brianwest5348]

I'm trying to decide between the AirMaks and the BRK Ghost. They both seem to be built well and accurate. The AirMaks has nice features and is $500 to $600 U.S. dollars less. Really it seems the only advantage the BRK has is caliber change. Also one magazine is $119 dollars for the Ghost. I may be leaning towards the AirMaks. Happy shooting !

[@casperboo5465]

Another great video Jeff, looking forward to watching more Cheers 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@simontanner]

Very interesting video look forward to seeing more of this project 👍🏻

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you 👍 looking forward to getting inside it

[@bigchad2374]

Great overview, I hadnt even considered one of these. Looking forward to the next video!

[@sub12airgunners]

definitely worth a look it's a great gun 😀

[@eoinwestman6222]

Can’t understand why people think this way about certain video content creators. Love the videos. As I said to you before I would have lived for you to go over my rifle but I understand why. That’s several rifles that have a very small bipod attachment at the trigger guard section fitted halfway up the rifle. Not good. Impressive looking rifle. Great content as usual. Please keep it going

[@sub12airgunners]

yes it's something lots of manufactures do it's an easy fix but it would be nice if it came out of the box with a more forward bipod position😁 thanks for the support

[@markjohnson2166]

The work they do on this channel is top notch. I’m delaying my next purchase/investment based on their advice and observations. At the moment it’s between the Krait and Maverick, just hope they don’t get hold of the BRK Ghost otherwise I won’t be shooting for another year while making my mind up. 😂 Great channel.

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you for having the trust in us 👍

[@bashm5767]

Great looking rifle, looking forward to the modifications

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@paultowns9880]

A great review. I would love to have an extended front rail for my criket 2 tactical. Wth a bipod theres definitely a see saw effect. Looking forward to more videos on the Krait. Thank you.

[@sub12airgunners]

Yes the see saw you only really notice if you shoot off a bench with a bipod but the trouble is that's how i shoot, so it's most bull pups. thanks for watching 👍

[@ootahbeefz5501]

18mil in diameter. That bit made me smile 👊🏾🤟🏾🔥. I’m waiting to see the magic on this rifle definitely.

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks mate

[@Tim_Bassett]

Look forward to this series - it has a lot to live up to, but a promising start looking at the 50 yard groups.

[@sub12airgunners]

yes it certainly has but it's doing ok so far

[@darrenm7964]

Thanks for another interesting video Jeff, can't wait for the mods on this great little gun!

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks for watching more to come 👍

[@three-phase562]

I do like offerings from AirMaks, will be interesting to see how you get on with the Krait.

[@sub12airgunners]

Yes they are making some good guns our Katran was great so have high hopes for the Krait

[@spasticjackson9578]

Out of the box comparisons, how does the Krait stack up to the Uragan ??

[@sub12airgunners]

out of the box they are very similar guns and both perform very well

[@Dugz1150]

I need your help sir, airmaks knows that there is a design flaw with their mags. Ive tried to contact them for advice in fixing this with no avail. The problem is when pointing krait at an incline and try to cock handle, the pellet falls backwards following probe and gets jammed in the action because now its not aligned with cylinder in mag causing stuck handle. Do know about this problem ?ai I was hoping with your skills can remedy this 10:44

[@MrIliff]

That happens with my Vulcan 2 .177. Also heard it happens with the Steyr pro x pcps too.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Looks a really nice piece of kit.

[@SniperBrothers.]

Sir , i m from India and I have fxcrown.22 mk1 and regulator is already set at 150 bar but i want to know how many time tighten my power wheel spring for good fps and smooth functioning. Please reply i m waiting 🙏🙏

[@sonan7216]

Thanks for posting, sorry for the question. Have you ever calculated mathematically what a pellet lowers on the target at 50 m. When your speed drops, for example, from 280 ms to 275 ms in cm, a greeting. Disculpe yo no lo se hacer.

[@sub12airgunners]

No i haven't but it would be fairly simple with something like the chairgun app👍

[@typicalsepticeye7985]

I’ve bought one in .22 & if I’m honest I’m not impressed with the accuracy.I don’t know if I’m expecting too much but at 13 metres it’ll put a pellet on a pellet but then chuck a random one either 6mm above or 6mm to the right.this happens at least a couple of times each mag

[@sub12airgunners]

our one is pellet on pellet at 20mts but one thing to check the shroud fits to a boss that screws in to the action check it's tight and there is nothing moving i have seen this give some issues

[@typicalsepticeye7985]

@@sub12airgunners thanks for the reply mate.I’ve took the anti double load off & there was a few hex bolts that needed tightening as well.I gave the barrel a good clean & put a good few pellets through it & that seems to have worked it’s now doing /20mm groups at 31 metres which is a massive improvement

[@markjohnson2166]

This is really bad news, I was going to buy the FX Maverick but now I will have to wait and watch all the Krait videos coming before making my mind up. :)

[@sub12airgunners]

LOL the next vid we will be inside the Krait so that might help😀 thanks for watching

[@FreeFarmPestControlUK]

Nice overview bud 👌 literally cannot wait for the next one, this is gonna be awesome with your twist on it the fx bottle swap sounds brilliant and saves waiting hay 😆👍 Interesting points about the reg 🤔 it seems hit and miss and purely down to the distributors 😕 either way airmaks seem to be on top of it. atb

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks 👍 yes the reg thing we have no signs of any problems but i have read a fair bit about problems, thanks for watching

[@tomwilkins3099]

Another good video 👍 I have owned my Krait the compact length in .177 for about 3 months now and have not experienced any reg issues until this weekend! When out doing some pest control the cold (I'm guessing)made the reg pressure go up about 15 bar? Back to room temp later that day and it went back to around 85 bar where it normally runs ( I do have a digital gauge fitted)Have you experienced this with any other guns or is there a problem with mine? Cheers Tom.

[@markjohnson2166]

The issue with the regulators is well documented by other users over on the airgun nation website.

[@sub12airgunners]

yes i have read a lot on the US forums about the the regs but so far no problems with our one

[@tomwilkins3099]

@@sub12airgunners Thanks for the reply. I will contact Chris at CDR Gun's A very nice guy having spoken to him a length when I was trying to find a krait. Hopefully he can assist me? Looking forward to your future Krait videos and possible bling parts 😁All the best Tom.

Not a bad little gun . Its a toss up between this and the Uragan, so will wait for the next video.

[@sub12airgunners]

definitely worth weighting for it's a great little gun 👍

[@chrissharplesphotography9748]

I find Uragon heavy.

[@danielreynolds1211]

I love the look of the krait but I keep hearing problems with them. I think I'm going to stick with purchasing the ghost.

[@sub12airgunners]

i know what you mean, but to be fair we have had no signs of reg problems at all the Krait is as good as anything we have had out of the box 👍 but you won't go wrong with the Ghost 👍

[@danielreynolds1211]

They both look very similar too. It's a shame I can't try them side by side as I bet it would be a very good vs battle between them. I slightly prefer the aesthetic of the ghost too although it is on the heavier side but with it being so compact I can hardly tell. Looking forward to future krait uploads 👍

[@andrewedwards3091]

Great video as always 👍 will you be doing the Ghost sometime?

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks for watching, yes we hope to do the ghost soon

Hi sorry we don't do work on peoples guns

[@MrIliff]

Its funny as I always thought having a 20moa rail meant you didn't need to buy adjustable scope mounts.

[@sub12airgunners]

not if you shoot sub 12 high power is fine but sub 12 you often haven't got the adjustment in the scope

[@mattclare9207]

How do you rate the krait against the uragan?

they are very close in performance i think i like the stock on the U2 better but there's not much between them IMO

Funny how all these sorts of guns fx BRK Daystate etc all retail around £1400.

[@sub12airgunners]

yes i think it the norm now £1400 ☹

[@phillipnicholas674]

The other thing that wrankles is the fact that these British and European air guns are much cheaper in the US. And it’s not down to tax, it’s the fact that we stupid Brits are prepared to pay ridiculously inflated prices.

[@colinrecardo6452]

Your reviews are amongst the best but this is one of the most poorly built guns I've ever come across for the money.
