This is a vintage Hunting Master AR6 made by DUK 11 ARMS/ Korea early 1990's...double action or single shot cocking hammer...capable of 55 FT LBS (.22 Caliber) with six shot magazine and 24 shots/fill on high power..Picked it up today and will chrono tomorrow and post more info then..

Very nice looking. Looks like a Sam Yang! Craigslist?

Evanix made the newer version of these rifles...http://www.pyramydai...ar6-part-1.html

Nice find Crazyhorse! I bet that beauty will make some noise putting out around 55FPE at the muzzle in .22 caliber. The heavier EunJin pellets will probably work good in there to help slow down the velocity and retain accuracy. I look forward to the Chrony numbers and shot string information. Congrats on the find.

Some quick chrony numbers: All these with the 'power restrictor' installedJSB 14.3 LO: 851.6HI: 873.5AV: 866.4ES: 21.8SD: 7.74Kodiak 21.1 gr.LO: 699,9HI: 713.3AV: 705.3ES: 13.07SD: 6.32The 'power restrictor' is simply a facet washer trimmed on two sides so it fits over the valve stem where the hammer strikes. This nifty idea results in lower velocity and sets power at approx 24 FT LBS. as the hammer can not open the valve fully......here is a pic to try and show the facet washer/hammer setup...I need to get some more air for my scuba and refill the AR6 and re-chrony with the washer removed....knowing that data I can have two trajectory cards...low power/high power.

From the dent in the photo of the valve pin it looks like it has been hammered quite a bit by the hammer striker. I bet if you pulled that restrictor out of there with the 21.1 grain pellets you would probably get around 800 plus FPS, maybe a little less depending on how much it is restricting the opening of the valve.

I took it out and got high of 909 MV / 39 FPE with just air left in rifle...,....but not sure where I'm at with air pressure fill....gun has no gauge and my scuba tank is low so I need to re-fill my scuba and test with gun from 3000 psi fill to get better idea..

Wow! That thing really fires "HOT"! I bet it makes quite the bark too when it fires.

[crazyhorse]

These rifles are known for thier power...and if you notice it has two reservoir tubes (under the barrel) the newer Evanix AR6's only have one.

Wow! That's nice! More are for more shots.
