Re: AARMR Hurricane Model 15. First Impressions. Picture Heavy
GNV Garu! Hats Off.. Really admire your patience, determination & sense of social service! 
Awaiting performance results now...
I'm in regular touch with guys who have built this gun & keep passing on our inputs to them.
As far as I've been told, they plan to come out with multiple variants of the gun. Right now they are still working on fine tuning its internals..
So unless you're in a hurry to win shooting gold in Mohalla Olympics or shoot an urgent episode for an Ekta Kapoor sitcom... I would recommend holding your horses & waiting a month or two until they come out with their matured production run models.. They will be definitely much more powerful, better tuned & more accessorized than what you can see now... For an extra amount you might expect custom camo-paint job, fibre optic/dot sights & the like...
I will probably be buying one for myself next month or so. Those interested can perhaps intimate me, so together we could bargain for best deal for us all besides getting you'll any minor adjustments you like... In the jungle, there is safety in numbers!
(No offense meant to any gentlemen from the forces!)
Mr Admin Sir! Hope you heard me alright??!

Pls do share. Am sure some of us would want to go check the dealer out..!Big Daddy wrote: The DIANA should be a perfect fit. A Diana seal is a perfect replacement for a PH seal. I know a couple of guys who have Diana seals in their PH. Original Diana seals cost about 600 including posting from a certain dealer as against 950 by most others. Do let me know if you need one. Will Whatsapp you the details.

I am not expecting any POM . I am just reporting things as I find them and I understand airguns a little, that's all.I know that I don't deserve any POM. I know my writing style is pretty poor. I don't have any narrating skills and I don't even know where to put proper punctuation marks. I post these reports of mine so that new entrants into air gunning may find them useful to maintain and repair their air guns on their own.Just as I am learning a lot from the more experienced shooters. If some find them useful then I am more than happy. Nothing more or nothing less. That's all.

I will. But right now I am busy with some work on my plantation which needs to be done immediately. I'll post the post lubrication performance ASAP.main13 wrote:GNV wrote:

PS: Forgot to drill a hole in the dovetail for the scope mount arrestor pin. Got to get it done first.
And tell that AARMR Techie to increase the length of the dovetail to 6" atleast and extend the dovetail to the rear end of the receiver tube.

Have already communicated the need for both the above modifications. They agreed to do so. Perhaps if we had more numbers, we could have a better bargaining chip to dictate buyers'-terms...
As far as I'm aware of, they don't have any plans for .177 right now. Even for conventional stocks you may have to wait several months.anoop wrote:Dear GNV, thanks a lot for the detailed review of Hurricane AR 15.

Being a Sardar, the tech guy has a natural inclination for assault designs.. There isn't much you can do about it!
Perhaps persistent demand for conventional stock would make them see sense!
For now you'll be better off buying the gun in its current form once they iron out its teething troubles & taking it to your local Bandook mistri who can fix a purrfect stock to this beast, custom made to your liking. That's what I plan to do with my piece...
The assault stock looks fine to show off though...
What do you need it for btw? .177 is usually for target shooting. .22 is for plinking & hunting mostly.
If target shooting is what you're aspiring for, then there are imported guns available with some websites which will be more suitable for the job, though at a higher price... These guys also plan to come out with PCP guns later on.
If you want it for just fun, .22 would be a lot more fun to play with... In fact .25 is the way to go but I dunno why they're not popular in India...

Re: AARMR Hurricane Model 15. First Impressions. Picture Heavy
Been pestering the AARMR guys since last few days.. Result is attached below...
They told me that they "replaced the steel sheet spring guide with nylon, nylon seal at piston end, spring support inside the piston.
Only with these three modification, the results changed. Will check the piston washer also in a few days as it takes time to make a new mold."
Have told them to try the precihole or diana washers, lets see.
Also told them to replace the nylon seal with bearings but he categorically refused saying it wasn't feasible for him to produce into production...
As of now they're claiming 1050fps. Most probably with a very light pellet. Should improve further with a good washer. But it still is the best speed produced thus far by any Indian AR... My first instincts are paying off...
However, when I asked him specifically about that ill-fitting rear spring guide, he went mum.. Will keep pushing them till its done!
Hope our star GNV Garu is doing well at his plantation?

Re: AARMR Hurricane Model 15. First Impressions. Picture Heavy
Would they be willing to sell the nylon spring support and the piston rear thrust bearing and the nylon spring guide to early buyers like me ?
GNV
P.S:I don't think 1050 fps in 0.22" is possible with these changes. I would be more than happy if even a consistent 800 fps with JSB Jumbo Express pellets is possible.
If the same spring is used the spring guide would act as a shim and the velocity would increase than before a little only.

Sir wait till the product matures.. Then buy whatever is needed. Will eat their brains out if they don't sell them to our star researcher!GNV wrote:Would they be willing to sell the nylon spring support and the piston rear thrust bearing and the nylon spring guide to early buyers like me ?

They're working on a new washer right now. Have to ensure that they fix that canted guide.. Perhaps barrel choking too...
As far as I know this guy, he's more or less genuine with his claims.. Perhaps not 1050. Still if he has claimed a 300fps jump, that means they did 'something' right.. Maybe the guide fits properly now...
How is the gun shooting now?
They told me you can balance that weight problem by inserting lead weights into the butt cavity. Do try it when you have time & let us know how it feels...

Good work GNV and Main13.
Once the internals are sorted out... you may "eat their brains" for a wooden stock, (with adjustable cheek piece) may be walnut since it would not be a problem for skilled workers or availability of the wood in Punjab

Some learn by reading. A few by observation. The rest of 'em have to pee on the electric fence.

Re: AARMR Hurricane Model 15. First Impressions. Picture Heavy
The only Gas Ram Piston .22" gun I know that was capable of such velocities was a THEOBEN ( FAC rated by UK standards ),Gas Ram Rifle, sold in US by the name Theoben Prometheus Super Sirocco, built with hand picked unchoked barrels to specifically shoot Prometheus and Titan Black Pellets in mid 80s. Even that gun was capable of reaching super sonic velocities only with the light weight Prometheus Pellets only. At that time that was my dream rifle. But could not afford it then. Now my dream rifle is FX Revolution Semi Auto. Now I can afford it at international prices plus customs duty. But no way of importing one.That is life I think.

Re: AARMR Hurricane Model 15. First Impressions. Picture Heavy
Been on it since day one... You have no idea how much I've buggered them for it! But for now they're getting orders.. So they're taking airs.. Maybe if we had a few orders in hand, we could dictate our terms... Perhaps you could join me next month when I buy??!AnandNair wrote:Good work GNV and Main13.

They've promised me a conventional stock model later on, but I dunno if they'll be making wooden ones... Even if that doesn't work, will sure suggest them some cool PSG & M-700 sniper style stocks that I have in mind...
Sir IMHO there are a LOT of springers these days that deliver that speed. The Beeman Kodiak, Webley Patriot & Hatsan 135 are REALLY powerful! Even gas rams are throwing great power at the muzzle... Too bad you didn't try those handmade Whiscombe 80s back in your days.. BEAUTIES they were.. Nowadays they cost several thousand $.... I was a bachcha then sadly...GNV wrote:The only Gas Ram Piston .22" gun I know that was capable of such velocities was a THEOBEN ( FAC rated by UK standards ),Gas Ram Rifle, sold in US by the name Theoben Prometheus Super Sirocco, built with hand picked unchoked barrels to specifically shoot Prometheus and Titan Black Pellets in mid 80s.

Well.. Its not THAT difficult sir.. Please check that baggage import route thread in the forum.. According to Indian gun laws you can bring in your guns from abroad if you've owned them for an year.. So next time you visit your son, buy it & keep it there... Or buy it from here & have it delivered to him.. Bring it home next diwali...!!!Now my dream rifle is FX Revolution Semi Auto. Now I can afford it at international prices plus customs duty. But no way of importing one.That is life I think.
Another way is to buy a .177 barrel gun with those interchangeable barrels.. Then import .22, .25 & .30 barrels separately....
Where there's a soldier, there's a way...
If the route ain't clear yet, use more semtex next time!
