Thanks, like always for your time and excellent explanations, I love my Huben (I use it primary for hog hunt, and now I'm using.223 36grain solid slugs with excellent results) and is always a pleasure to watch your videos , greetings from Uruguay!!!
Awesome and informative vid as usually. I own a .22 cal Huben K1 2020 and it's accurate at 59 yards like my FX.25 wild cat and .25 FX Impact. Now I only shoot 14.3 gr. premier hollow points from walmart at 900 fps getting a 11mm group. It's my go to gun.
Hai mr. Gregor terima kasih atas video yg sangat bagus dan juga penjelasan tentang metsil untuk Huben K1,,tapi sayang di negara saya Indonesia cal. 22 tidak diperbolehkan.
I'm not sure if you have talked about the sharp edge on the magazine/cylinder. I own a 2021.25 version and have shot a few thousand rounds through it and what a awesome airgun. One thing I'm going to fix is those sharp edges on the cylinder. I've noticed that when loading the ammo many times it scrapes/shaves the ammo putting it in place. The gun is so accurate I wonder just how much its affecting it but either way it shouldn't do that. So I'm going to put a .003-.005 radius on that edge. I'm surprised the factory guns come with such a sharp edge. If the loading gate had more room it might not be such a problem. The Huben K1 is an absolute beast. I've had many many airguns and always take them apart to learn the gun and this one is a marvelous design and pretty easy to work on.

Part of the reason for this is because the use the same loading port plastic part as for .22 and you need to push the pellets/slugs much harder to avoid this... But I do agree that if the magazine had smoother edges, this wold not be such an issue. Thanks for the input.

Hi Gregor. As always very good content, great explanations for all of us who have a Huben. I have the 3 versions of MP Molds that are available for the 5.5 caliber and I would love to have this new mold. I have 2 K1, one 2016 and another 2020, I do not know if the latter fits into the description that you indicate with Chinese cannon ... I combine it with Francisco, can he tell me by the serial number what type of cannon my weapon brings? . If so, here is a buyer. All the best
Greg i love your videos my friend. I love your property so much, it looks so peaceful and beatiful in every way. And your a genius with airguns and setting them up to shoot so good. But im surprised your using a Vector scope on such a high end PCP, you should top it off with something of more quality for such a good gun.
No need to degass. Simple make about 1/4 of a turn counter clockwise on the regulator and then take few dry shots so the pressure drops in the plenum to the new regulated pressure. It is best to go further down than you actually need, and them go slowly up to the pressure you want...
Hola Gregor!! Tengo un huben k1 de los modelos anteriores,me pasa que se traba el seguro de disparo y no puedo ni sacarlo ni ponerlo y esto hace que no pueda disparar,que podrá ser¿ Desde ya muchas gracias!!!!
That is most likely due to too low regulated pressure. Be careful, when the gun is in this state, it will fire automatically when you increase the pressure.
If the pressure on the unregulated side drops below the pressure on the regulated side, will the regulator leak air from the regulated side? I'm trying to trace the cause of a leak on my K1.
Hello, I can't find any info on how to increase and decrease the air in the regulator. In the manual, you only have to turn the regulator screw under the cross, but there is no need to empty the tank area before decreasing the regulator pressure? Is it possible to empty the air from the tank for long trips? My apologies in advance I did not find this info in any video, can you help me if you please. Sincerely
No need to empty the tank for pressure adjustment. if you are going up (clockwise), just observer the manometer and set the desired pressure. For down, make small turns anticlockwise (1/4 revolution) and fire few dry shots to wee where you are at. De-gassing this gun is not that easy, you can de-gas the regulated chamber with the regulator (just go down with the pressure until it starts to leak...). Main tube is much harder to de-gas.
hi, can you explain to me how the carbon tube that covers the barrel in this version is built? if I understand it is built in a different way than the previous versions, it does not have the thread for the cap, can you confirm me? I would like to build one a little longer to increase its silence.
Actually I don't know. I haven't taken the shroud apart yet. I have only removed it from the gun and noticed that there is some support that directly touches the barrel lookin in it from the rear. I tried to unscrew that front cap but I think it is clued due to the fact that there is probably no thread on the carbon shroud...
Hello Gregor, thank you very much for your videos, they help us a lot. Check, can it be that the new 2021 version has 80 wheel clicks to regulate? Because I bought one with that amount, and I'm not sure if it's mine with that particularity or all of them. Thanks again. Greetings
The number of clicks that are available do not determine the number of click that effect / adjust power. I have about 85 clicks available on 2021 K1 as well but as on all K1s, only about 48 click actually adjust the power (three full revolutions - 16 clicks per revolution). You can feel this when rotating the wheel: try to rotate the wheel fully counter clockwise. Then rotate clockwise and at certain point, you will start to feel more resistance (more force will be needed to rotate the wheel). It is only those clicks that have more resistance that actually adjust the power, so you basically have about three full revolutions of adjustment (48 clicks) from fully closed wheel (fully clockwise) to fully open (about 48 clicks counter clockwise) and from there on, you are only rotating the wheel but the power is not increasing anymore...
@@gregorkamensek3923 Thank you very much, the truth is there is not much information about the rifle itself. I'll write again later in case you can answer me, thank you very much again. Greetings
It is coming but not sure when. You must understand the I forwarded the confirmation for this mold right after I tested and got these results, but I am not making the molds so the actual production is up to MP molds....
The twistrate of the Chinese barrel makes it more of a pellet barrel but it does shoot some slugs really well too.I assume it is the same barrel I got in my 2021 K1? Need to do some more testing with the .218 34 grain Javelins but I got about 6cm 4 shot groups at 200 m in really windy conditions once I figured out my hold, then the wind changed, very promising indeed. The 35grain ZAN did not work but how do I get hold of a couple hundred of those mp 37grain slugs? Very interested to try them ! 😀 Got lots of other slugs to test but you know, time... Great video as usual! Big thumbs up
Thanks. This barrel has fast enough twist to shoot any slug including boat tails (at least the Altaros). If you have an option, try bigger dimensions of the slugs, for example 5,55 mm or more...
In my experiences, none of the .218 work well in any K1. You can get reasonable accuracy but bigger diameters will typically work better. Newer K1s except sizes only up to about 5.55 mm (about .219) and those work best in my experiences. I never get exceptionally good results with any of the conventional swagged slugs though, that is why I prefer to use Altaros turned slugs or my own cast slugs. It all depends on what is sufficient accuracy for you and weather you main goal is target shooting or hunting...
Depends on the bipod you intend to use. I usually use: www.rojal.si/si/shop/zracno-orozje/zracno-dodatna-oprema/allen-swivel-screw.html www.rojal.si/si/shop/nato-6-inch-swivel-aluminum-alloy-rifle-bi-pod.html
Not yet. Those are made in South Africa and the are a little harder to get here. But I doubt there would be any significant difference. The thing is all of these slugs that are now considered as "norm" in the airgun industry were the dimensions of the slugs are not really appropriate for conventional airgun barrels and even less so for K1 that has a chamber... So although there might be minor differences in performance of those slugs in K1, none of them are exceptionally good.
greetings gregor, i will want to know more about the longevity of the different parts and the gaskets of Huben K1 because for me to get parts from internet it is very hard i will want to buy this rifle because i like it very much. thank you.👋
I generally did not have any major issue with Huben but it is a more complex gun + the fact it is semi auto, it means that you shoot more rounds in the same period you would with repeater or single shot guns. The servicing is also more complex... I will have more videos, I will let the viewers know if and when I have any issue with it...
In my mind, it is about the same. K1 might have some parts that are not visible form outside with a little worse finish cosmetically but they are designed correctly and with required tolerances to do the task.
@@gregorkamensek3923 interesting. Think I'd go with the leshiy though because I'm no expert and it seems a bit easier to tune/fix without having to send it to a professional. Don't think there's many places in the u.k that would work on a k1. Think the leshiy would be easier for a beginner. Really enjoyed the long distance shooting video you did with the huben & as for your pistol modification. That's awesome probably one of the only ones on the planet! I'm on a similar path it used to be guitars, guitars, guitars, now it's airguns, airguns etc... 🤣
With the ring slugs,is there any machining/engineer they could make/design a swage for these particular type??I know GMI ENGINEERING are a excellent comapny for swages..Don't know if they could develop the intricate design needed tho.
This is my goal for swagged slugs all along. Of course it is possible, that is how the pellets are made but none of the big manufacturer is doing this (yet)
@@gregorkamensek3923 understood..How about the current ring slug,but with a hollow point?If a small manufacturer could make just one perfect die the projectile results from this could force the big producers into action once they see the awesomeness....maybe
I watch all your videos and they are great. Are you done yet I have Done a lot of work with barrels especially Huben And my polishing barrel videos can get you to a half inch group at 100 yards. With slugs of course. I’m gonna be doing a new video soon because I found out even better ways to get the accuracy out of all rifled barrels.
Thanks. I also watched probably most of your videos:). I would love to se that accuracy. Although this is the most accurate Huben in my collection yet, it is still not able to go bellow 3 cm at 100 meters (so slightly worse than 1 MOA)... Look forward to your video.
I just started shooting cast slugs through my K-1 and mines a 2018 with the Choke cut off. They are 54 grains and I cannot believe how accurate A cast slug in this gun and they are Huben style .I also liked your video on your Edguns I just set up my rag to 200 bar. And I drilled out my choke . And did everything on video so my viewers can see how to do it and I’m just waiting for a good day with no wind to shoot that too. I think I did a video on my Maximathor i’m not sure I think we’re shooting a 3 inch group with slugs from the factory I drilled out the choke shoot and sub on my way at 100 yards now. But it had some really tight spots near the breech end . And that’s where you have to look for these tight spots in the K-1 if you’ve got tight spot close to where the magazine is you’re going to get a little deformation in the rifling on the slog and it’s going to harm your accuracy I know that gun you got can shoot less than 3/4 inch at 100 yards there’s no doubt in my mind
Short answer is NO. Long answer is, yes, potentially. I managed to achieve this. K1 is designed for max energy of about 100 joules although it goes a bit higher. It is also limited to slug length of 11 mm and there are not may slugs 40 grain that are 11 mm or shorter... The last limitation is the valve operation and the fact that wight higher pressure, the valve closes much faster and if you do set the pressure to upper limit (about 200 bars), you must open the power wheel fully but the gun still closest the valve a little too fast. That is good in perceptive of shot count and enables the gun to achieve very high velocities with relatively heavy slugs but with extremely heavy slugs, it is a limitation of power of sort. I would say that K1 will achieve about 110 joules with 40 grain slugs and 190 bar on the regulator for certain, but 120 joule is more of an exception than a rule (keep in mind that K1 barrel is only 560 mm long unlike for example FX 800 mm that can achieve these velocities with such heavy slugs)... you will also have a problem finding 40 grain slug that will fit in the magazine as I mentioned... Best weight for K1 is around 35 grain, that will give best accuracy and best power / velocity.
@@gregorkamensek3923 I purchased a 2022 Hubin K1 this October. If you recall you gave me some advice on a pellet stuck in the magazine cylinder. That I had that FIXED. A week ago I was sighting in a scope using JSB 14.35 pellets. The rifle performed great. Reloaded and after the 4th shot, the rifle would not cock and fire. The safety still works but the trigger/hammer will not re-set. I then removed the remaining pellets for safety purposes and the cylinder is ok. the Hubin latest manual Under troubleshooting 2) it says for Unmatch between Dynamic power and Regulation pressure can sometimes cause cocking failure. it then says to lower the dynamic power to zero (power Wheel ) Closed and regulator below 10 mpa. I followed and did that. Then it says Increase the regulator pressure up to 15-18 mpa. I did that. Then it says THE internal mechanism will "COCK" at approximately 10mpa and the magazine will actuate at approximately 15mpa. Gregore I tried it twice and it still would not cock and of course nothing after pulling the trigger. I need your help, I live in Florida and we have no Huban dealers. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.
@@garyjtrek Ok, this additional explanation helps. From my understanding, it seem like nothing happens when you pull the trigger. You are talking about cocking and reseting but this gun does not work like this, there is no cocking. The closest thing you could call to "cocking" is the closing of the main (also called "fire") valve. But if this would not happen, then the gun would dump the air in a matter of seconds... My assumption is that you have a common problem when even when you pull the trigger, the gun does not fire. This happened to me once and never again so I cannot exactly say what is the reason for it. In my case, I emptied the gun by releasing the air by the regulator (simply go down with the pressure until the air starts to leak form the reg...). Once empty, I set the pressure back up to 180 bars and then the gun fired... Also let me know the following: Have you made any adjustments to the trigger be the two screws at the back of the gun? If so, this could also be the reason for the problem...
@@gregorkamensek3923 I have been on travel so first opportunity to get back with you. I followed your instructions and emptied the air pressure and then set the pressure back to 180 Bar but it did not reset the trigger. I did it twice but no reset. No adjustments to the best of my knowledge on the trigger. There is a video on removing the back plate and then manually resting but the Video does not match what my 2021 Huben. K1 looks like. Need your expertise. Thank you Gregor. Gary
@@gregorkamensek3923 I followed your instructions above and emptied the rifle then brought the pressure up to 180 bar. It did not reset the trigger. I did it twice with no success. The trigger has not been adjusted to the best of my knowledge. There is a video on TH-cam showing how to manually reset the trigger but the parts inside do not look like my 2021 Hubin K1.
In my tests, the .22 gives me slightly more accuracy. It shoots well pellets as well as slugs. Also, the max power you gain by going to .25 is not that significant (if that is important for you).
@@tzr44 Yes, I have. They work very well (accurate) but yo do need to set to rifle to very low pressure and turn the power wheel down. This is a very light pellet for this gun. JSB Monsters redesigned is a much better option in my opinion...

So although there might be minor differences in performance of those slugs in K1, none of them are exceptionally good.
greetings gregor, i will want to know more about the longevity of the different parts and the gaskets of Huben K1 because for me to get parts from internet it is very hard i will want to buy this rifle because i like it very much. thank you.👋
I generally did not have any major issue with Huben but it is a more complex gun + the fact it is semi auto, it means that you shoot more rounds in the same period you would with repeater or single shot guns. The servicing is also more complex... I will have more videos, I will let the viewers know if and when I have any issue with it...
@@gregorkamensek3923 thanks very very much
NICE!!!😊
I want the mold V3!!! :-)
How do you rate the build quality on the k1 is it on the same level as the leshiy 2?
In my mind, it is about the same. K1 might have some parts that are not visible form outside with a little worse finish cosmetically but they are designed correctly and with required tolerances to do the task.
@@gregorkamensek3923 interesting.
Think I'd go with the leshiy though because I'm no expert and it seems a bit easier to tune/fix without having to send it to a professional.
Don't think there's many places in the u.k that would work on a k1. Think the leshiy would be easier for a beginner.
Really enjoyed the long distance shooting video you did with the huben & as for your pistol modification. That's awesome probably one of the only ones on the planet!
I'm on a similar path it used to be guitars, guitars, guitars, now it's airguns, airguns etc... 🤣
With the ring slugs,is there any machining/engineer they could make/design a swage for these particular type??I know GMI ENGINEERING are a excellent comapny for swages..Don't know if they could develop the intricate design needed tho.
This is my goal for swagged slugs all along. Of course it is possible, that is how the pellets are made but none of the big manufacturer is doing this (yet)
@@gregorkamensek3923 understood..How about the current ring slug,but with a hollow point?If a small manufacturer could make just one perfect die the projectile results from this could force the big producers into action once they see the awesomeness....maybe
I watch all your videos and they are great. Are you done yet I have Done a lot of work with barrels especially Huben And my polishing barrel videos can get you to a half inch group at 100 yards. With slugs of course. I’m gonna be doing a new video soon because I found out even better ways to get the accuracy out of all rifled barrels.
Thanks. I also watched probably most of your videos:). I would love to se that accuracy. Although this is the most accurate Huben in my collection yet, it is still not able to go bellow 3 cm at 100 meters (so slightly worse than 1 MOA)... Look forward to your video.
I just started shooting cast slugs through my K-1 and mines a 2018 with the Choke cut off. They are 54 grains and I cannot believe how accurate A cast slug in this gun and they are Huben style .I also liked your video on your Edguns I just set up my rag to 200 bar. And I drilled out my choke . And did everything on video so my viewers can see how to do it and I’m just waiting for a good day with no wind to shoot that too. I think I did a video on my Maximathor i’m not sure I think we’re shooting a 3 inch group with slugs from the factory I drilled out the choke shoot and sub on my way at 100 yards now. But it had some really tight spots near the breech end . And that’s where you have to look for these tight spots in the K-1 if you’ve got tight spot close to where the magazine is you’re going to get a little deformation in the rifling on the slog and it’s going to harm your accuracy I know that gun you got can shoot less than 3/4 inch at 100 yards there’s no doubt in my mind
Hello 👋
Can the Huben k1 rifle reach a speed of 1000 fps in 40 grain slugs in 5.5 caliber please reply your follower from Iraq 🇮🇶
Short answer is NO. Long answer is, yes, potentially. I managed to achieve this. K1 is designed for max energy of about 100 joules although it goes a bit higher. It is also limited to slug length of 11 mm and there are not may slugs 40 grain that are 11 mm or shorter... The last limitation is the valve operation and the fact that wight higher pressure, the valve closes much faster and if you do set the pressure to upper limit (about 200 bars), you must open the power wheel fully but the gun still closest the valve a little too fast. That is good in perceptive of shot count and enables the gun to achieve very high velocities with relatively heavy slugs but with extremely heavy slugs, it is a limitation of power of sort. I would say that K1 will achieve about 110 joules with 40 grain slugs and 190 bar on the regulator for certain, but 120 joule is more of an exception than a rule (keep in mind that K1 barrel is only 560 mm long unlike for example FX 800 mm that can achieve these velocities with such heavy slugs)... you will also have a problem finding 40 grain slug that will fit in the magazine as I mentioned... Best weight for K1 is around 35 grain, that will give best accuracy and best power / velocity.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Thank you very much for the explanation and clarification.. Greetings to you
@@gregorkamensek3923 Can the huben k1 fire 34 grain slugs at 1100 fps in 22 caliber?
@@Yahya_89 NO.
How can i know this barrel chineses not lother walther?
Rifles roughly after 2020 have Chinese barrel. Chinese barrels have less grooves and are unchoked.
@gregorkamensek3923 thank you very much for the response.
I'm interested in buying a mold. Thanks
Thanks. I am pushing MP molds to release it but it is taking forever!...
Great Review. My Hubin did not reset the trigger. Air levels are ok, What is the process to reset the trigger mechanism - Thanks
I need more details about exactly what happens step by step...
@@gregorkamensek3923 I purchased a 2022 Hubin K1 this October. If you recall you gave me some advice on a pellet stuck in the magazine cylinder. That I had that FIXED. A week ago I was sighting in a scope using JSB 14.35 pellets. The rifle performed great. Reloaded and after the 4th shot, the rifle would not cock and fire. The safety still works but the trigger/hammer will not re-set. I then removed the remaining pellets for safety purposes and the cylinder is ok. the Hubin latest manual Under troubleshooting 2) it says for Unmatch between Dynamic power and Regulation pressure can sometimes cause cocking failure. it then says to lower the dynamic power to zero (power Wheel ) Closed and regulator below 10 mpa. I followed and did that. Then it says Increase the regulator pressure up to 15-18 mpa. I did that. Then it says THE internal mechanism will "COCK" at approximately 10mpa and the magazine will actuate at approximately 15mpa.
Gregore I tried it twice and it still would not cock and of course nothing after pulling the trigger. I need your help, I live in Florida and we have no Huban dealers. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.
@@garyjtrek Ok, this additional explanation helps. From my understanding, it seem like nothing happens when you pull the trigger. You are talking about cocking and reseting but this gun does not work like this, there is no cocking. The closest thing you could call to "cocking" is the closing of the main (also called "fire") valve. But if this would not happen, then the gun would dump the air in a matter of seconds... My assumption is that you have a common problem when even when you pull the trigger, the gun does not fire. This happened to me once and never again so I cannot exactly say what is the reason for it. In my case, I emptied the gun by releasing the air by the regulator (simply go down with the pressure until the air starts to leak form the reg...). Once empty, I set the pressure back up to 180 bars and then the gun fired... Also let me know the following: Have you made any adjustments to the trigger be the two screws at the back of the gun? If so, this could also be the reason for the problem...
@@gregorkamensek3923 I have been on travel so first opportunity to get back with you. I followed your instructions and emptied the air pressure and then set the pressure back to 180 Bar but it did not reset the trigger. I did it twice but no reset. No adjustments to the best of my knowledge on the trigger. There is a video on removing the back plate and then manually resting but the Video does not match what my 2021 Huben. K1 looks like. Need your expertise. Thank you Gregor. Gary
@@gregorkamensek3923 I followed your instructions above and emptied the rifle then brought the pressure up to 180 bar. It did not reset the trigger. I did it twice with no success. The trigger has not been adjusted to the best of my knowledge. There is a video on TH-cam showing how to manually reset the trigger but the parts inside do not look like my 2021 Hubin K1.
hello I would like to buy a huben K1, can you tell me which caliber will give me the most accurate please?
In my tests, the .22 gives me slightly more accuracy. It shoots well pellets as well as slugs. Also, the max power you gain by going to .25 is not that significant (if that is important for you).
@@gregorkamensek3923 thank you for your reply !! have you been able to test the jsb heavy 18gr in it?
@@tzr44 Yes, I have. They work very well (accurate) but yo do need to set to rifle to very low pressure and turn the power wheel down. This is a very light pellet for this gun. JSB Monsters redesigned is a much better option in my opinion...
@@gregorkamensek3923 thank you for your quick answers Gregor

What is the bc of the new slugs??
I will hopefully measure in the next video with LabRadar...
great video！How to distinguish the version of Huben？thank you very much！
There have been a lot of version till now, the only real way is to send serial number to Huben and ask them.
