Huben GK1 - Tuning - Huma-Air Regulator Kit (in-depth) Installation Video

[@MegaCyberleader]

thanks for the demo, and thank you other commentors on telling me how it affects your arms.

[@briant.8998]

Thanks for the video. I do use mine for occasional pest control so want the full power but really cool

[@MegaCyberleader]

I use mine for home defense, so it matters very little if I'm shooting no more than 21 ft in front of me, and I need the extra power that afford for the Tannerite pellets I use. Of course, On my sbr,. and sniper air rifles those are ALL regulated. But my .457 Pitbull is unregulated, and I wanted power over consistency. In that way It literally shoots through cast iron pans, car doors, and large game. Its super accurate. I have the huma installed in every piece I own except the GK1 and the 457 Pitbull/bulldog by Benjamin. I also have a regulated 357 magnum conversion that uses a regulator by human as well, A super fine rifle(s), even if its only good for 8 shots between refills. The leshiy2 does 16 shots, and the Condor, by air force high extreme mod does hundreds between refills at 25 cal. But That one also has a 580CC tank mod, with an extreme regulator and plenum mod. Single shot. Shoots a 25 cal pellet at 1500 fps+. The huma regulator works great on ALL the air guns/rifles, I have modded. But At this point Im going to pass on this mod for my gk1 due to power concerns, Chances are im only gonna get off what's in the magazine only anyway if Im home invaded again.

​@@5eukI don't think his question was about the consistency. What is the power output if you regulate the 6 fpe UK version?

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Awesome video thanks for sharing be safe buddy 💯

[@christosmavrommatis912]

That kit is in my radar. I set mine at 25 fpe when 250-280 bar but I've noticed that power can reach 30-34 fpe when pressure is around 150bar.... I don't have any need for more power but I would like a bit more consistency. Currently my power settings give me 19 shots (full mag) from 230->150 bar, and I shoot mostly my casted slugs (huben v3 mp-mold, 38 gr, 5.58 & v2 boat tailed 37 gr 5.55). Somehow the gun seems to self regulate when I shoot lighter projectiles like the h&n baracuda 21 gr pellets giving me 1/2 mag more shots at same output speed. The second best upgrades for this gun will be a better grip and the top red-dot rail... best airgun purchase ever for me after my steyr LP10

[@LRF1-9-7-2]

What speed are you getting on 100 bar. What caliber and weight pellets? Great video..

[@5euk]

@@LRF1-9-7-2 With the reg set at 125 Bar and the power screw wound all the way in, in a .25 calibre with 26.54 grain Hades pellets it is producing 249.8 FPS (3.67 Fpe). In the Uk the law is sub 6 fpe so well within the law. I’ll be testing it out properly in the next few weeks when I’ll be in Greece where there are no power restrictions.

[@azmanrahman721]

Hi Lee, great video, and having regulator consistent shot. Just wondering, by having regulator will it reduce the overall air volume in GK thus reducing shot count. In comparison, with non-regulated. Thanks, btw any info you could share about the overall cost to install regulator assuming DIY on installation.

[@5euk]

Thanks mate. The regulator kit is €276,70 plus postage so that's about £232.00 plus the postage. From the testing I have done I am only losing about 7 shots with the regulator fitted which is a small price to pay for excellent consistency. Unregulated the GK1 is still decent but after using it with this regulator kit it will 100% be staying in my GK1. 👍🏻

[@azmanrahman721]

@@5euk Awesome, only 7 shots, too insignificant in comparison to consistency in shots. Thanks mate for the kind response

[@antongonist8294]

[@5euk]

@@antongonist8294 When tested at 11.8 fpe with the reg set at 125 bar (when I was abroad) it achieved 102 shots which was 7 less than without the regulator but the main difference was the excellent power consistency.

@@barryfenwick609 By fitting a regulator you will get much better consistency in power so each shot will be the same power making the accuracy better.

Good morning. I would have liked to know if we could still use the power adjustment screw once the regulator is in place where it must be disassembled every time. Thank you for your answer

[@5euk]

@@christophehuet3280 yes it can

[@ThePredator2k]

@5euk can you maybe tell me how long after each shot it takes for the regulator to fill up again? How long in seconds i have to wait between each shot?

[@5euk]

@@ThePredator2k Good question. Although you could probably quick fire it, I personally always leave about 2 to 3 seconds between shots to give the reg time to refill. Obviously different temperatures outside can vary it, but I’ve found in my testing that it feels up really quickly. I always said that I would never have a regulator on my GK1 but can honestly say I will now never remove it. 👍🏻

[@ThePredator2k]

@@5euk sadly in Germany we only have the .22 Version. The importing company says it makes no sense to import the .25 version with 7.5 joule limit. 95% of all airguns in Germany are 4.5mm and 5.5mm. Because of the power limit.

[@5euk]

@@ThePredator2k That's because you are ordering from GoGun ? Huben in Spain is the place to buy from mate. 👍🏻

[@ThePredator2k]

@@5euk yes From GoGun. In Germany we Can't import airguns by our selfs from other countrys. That gun will be illigal and confiscated. Importing must be done by a company with weapons dealer permit and after that the gun has to go through the PTB institution where is it checked for safety and energy limit. The importing company has to give 5 samples of the same gun to the PTB for checking. Thats why all airguns in Germany has a "F" stamp. A airgun without a PTB number an F stamp is illegal and when you get caught it will be punished with at least 2-3k € and in worstcase with jail time. Long story short, airgun from spain can bring me in the worst case behind bars.

@@ThePredator2k I find that strange as I'm assuming you are using GoGun who sell a .35 calibre AEA HP Max at 7.5 joules ??

Very good video well explained. Good job ! Is it the 100-200 bar regulator or the 70-165 bar ? I ordered the 100-200 bar from Huma Air. Do you think I can reach 40 joules with the regulator on 100 bar with a reasonable autonomy ?

[@MrIbanezRGfan]

Not hating but it takes away the power. Makes it a bit more consistent maybe more efficient but considering that it's a pistol for realistic close range use it's super accurate unregulated. Huma says you'll get around 40 ft lbs on 145 bar reg pressure.

[@5euk]

I'm not sure what your point is ? Ok at max power with the first shot at around 80fpe in a .25 is great if that's what you want, but then each shot will drop about 8 fpe per shot so what good is that at all when working out how to aim it ? Consistency will the improve it in everyway. And if Huma is correct, who needs an air pistol anymore than 40fpe ??? The regulator serves a great purpose and generally once a regulator is released for any type of airgun, that is then what the more serious shooters will always use.

[@MrIbanezRGfan]

@@5euk Sorry I meant 40 joules. Sure for some this is enough. Unregulated you can achieve plus 20 joules with decent consistency (17 shots) The power potential is what makes it so popular. Imo

@@MrIbanezRGfan The accuracy consistency will always be better with a regulated gun.

[@MrIbanezRGfan]

​@@5euk Yes for sure. But it's a pistol...many convert it into a carbine and I could relate for wanting more accuracy in that case. Might work in .22 to achieve good pellet speed.
