With summer in full swing, outdoor living is the place to be. Whatever adventures you have planned this season, here are a few things that might help you enjoy them a bit better.
Available for Pre-order
The Air Venturi Avenge-X is now available for pre-order and we’ve been eagerly anticipating its arrival ever since its announcement at SHOT. It’s a modular system with unparalleled performance that can be adjusted for multiple shooting applications allowing you to easily change the barrel to any body and have 3 guns in one, whether you prefer an Avenge-X in a classic wood, synthetic, bullpup, or tactical stock. Or collect them all for the ultimate mix-n-match.
Each Avenge-X has an attractive wood or durable polymer stock, checkering for a firm hold, an extended Weaver/Picatinny optics rail that accommodates scopes and other optics, and a Picatinny accessory rail that allows you to add items such as lights, bipods, and lasers. They offer a high shot count and include a high-capacity magazine, a standard magazine, a single-shot tray, and a smooth reversible sidelever to enable ambidextrous operation. All of these use Air Venturi Avenge-X Caliber Change Kit, available in .177, .22, and .25 which allows you to change from one caliber to the others.

AK74U
So, we have an AK version of the Hellboy. I remember there were some problems with the magazine (springs) on the early releases and newer ones had more dependable mags.
Have they resolved this situation once and for all and removed the saw tooth edge from the link between the rigger and hammer for smoother trigger operation?
Perhaps I received a very early release that still had some development issues?
