66 quid shipped from Poland! Good old free market. I wonder how much airguns would go up in price if we left the EU, a remortgage on the house I think !

Why would the price be any different?

You have a slight problem if ordering from Poland, it's advertised at 140 meters per second in .22, which is 459fps. There's no mention of pellet weight, but assuming for example AA Fields at 16grain, it produces 7.48fpe. Even with 14.3grain pellets, produces 6.69fpe at that speed.
11.9grain hobbies come in at 5.56fpe, but that's not to believe this is what the velocity is quoted on.

It could be that we are getting a de-tuned version for the UK, but then again, i could be wrong. All depends on what pellet weight those manufacturer specs were set on

[harvey_s]

The ones I've seen advertised were quoted at 5.5ft/lbs in .177 and unusually, slightly lower in .22 at 5.0 ft/lbs when I would have expected that to be the other way around.
Should be very straughtforward to restrict though if needed...

Just been quoted 66 pounds posted from poland, off the ad

Only thing is they wont accept paypal so I asked my bank to do a transfer and they said it would be another £25 , I am waiting for them to become more widespread in the uk , I thought SMK might import them but asked in my local SMK stockist and they say not doing them seems only Airforce one up to now .

If they are capable of shooting at over 6 ftlbs then I suspect the difference in the UK model may well be that it has been modified to shoot under the limit and also be anti tamper and if you need to modify the design then that costs money which we will have to pay in the form of an increased price

Anyone know where to get more info on this pistol? I have tried to google it all i found was retailers sales pitch. ...mike...

The pistols are made in China by a company that makes stuff for the military. They have a non-adjustable trigger even though the blow up diagram shows an adjuster. A bit like a well thought out 2240 inside with a very robust firing valve in a hard anodised valve body and a filter on the CO2 inlet (take heed Crosman!!). The stock is fitted on with a bolt in the trigger guard and a small button head at the back of the stock. Absolutely cracking little pistols distributed to the trade by those nice people in Harrogate, who unfortunately have run out of .177. Having done quite a bit of testing on these pistols I can tell you they are uber reliable with power levels that will not disappoint. And can( with a bit of fiddling) be fitted with a half inch silencer adapter that makes them almost silent with an Swift Stumpy on. .25 version in the pipeline I'm informed.
I can email an exploded diagram if anyone would like one. Just PM me with your details.

That I seriously doubt despite any claim to the contrary...

Its a very simple design extremely similar to Crosmans and it'll be similarly simple to modify.
From what I've seen there are no anti-tamper measures incorporated.

Sounds very good and they look good too ,pity about the non adjustable trigger but I'm willing to forgive it if I could find one in a rfd or even in a European country with our power limits 😈 that .25 version sounds promising too !

Airgun centre have just got them in and there doing a package which is the pistol, hard case, 10 x Co2 and lifetime warranty for £199

Also they said they can sell pistol alone for £159

As always we are Rip Of Britain as they are only £45 in Poland and £66 delivered from there + £25 bank transfer fees

Thoughts please guys

I dont really see the point of this pistol at £159 a 2240 is about £70 add a steel breach and some nice grips and you still come in under £159 quid The 2240 is made in america with loads of bits already available and spares are easy to get hold of too. Why bother?
