Hummingbird Review???
Ernest, you have had some time with the Hummingbird, and some vacation, how about your take on this little bird? Thanks for all your efforts in this crazy hobby, you have inspired many, and helped with all sorts of engineering problems. What do you think of the Colibri? Is there a compact model in the future?
Thanks for all you DO
Regards
LarryW 🙄

By the way that little gun is as accurate as hell! At forty meters it is shooting tight one hole groups. I don’t care about 100 yards because I don’t shoot that far. Not enough energy left in a .22 to do much harm any way. I’d like to get a 25 caliber ‘Bird. These little rascals are very light and handy, but we get spoiled with the power from a .25!

Glad you got yours working good. Mine is the first BP, I owned, I can’t get over how natural it feels. With the MTC Connect Scope, the unit is awesome. It is like it is part of you. So far I really like mine.
Ernest put the spring in mine and no failures. Indexes every time.

I have put 1000 rounds through mine so far, performs perfectly so far. I got mine from Top Gun Airguns. I ask Peter when I ordered about the indexing problems, he said he had fixed that. Don’t know what he did but mine functions fine. I shot some 1/2 groups a couple days ago @ 50 and think it will do better. Was pretty windy.
Yes, I’m having indexing problems on the hummer. Talked to Steve at WWAG and he said that Kalibrgun is sending a fix. I put 2 small paint dots on the magazine cylinder grove to watch the indexing. Also, when it doesn’t index there’s no sound of the pellet striking…duh…LOL
Other than that I love the accuracy, weight and balance of the gun. I’ll post when I hear more from him.
By the way, I think that both Matt and Steve are great guys to work with.
anything new Larry?
The barrel can also be easily indexed by removing the shroud and labeling the 4 holes on the end adapter. Mine needed it. Regards, Tom
The barrel has to be remove to look though the barrel and push a pellet to detect high/rough spot in the rifling, they look like normal CZ cricket barrels inside. the barrel can be lap polish to insure no scratches that normal eye sight can’t detect.
Guys, what is the quality of the barrels? Could you look inside just to check if there are any scratches?
did anybody have that mod installed in there HB???
Ernest, I have Peter’s new style indexer in my HB. I’ll let you know how it works out after I have shot it a while to see if it’s reliable.
Larry
none for know, Steve at WWAG is requesting.
Is there an exploded view of the Hummingbird, parts list? I would like to have something showing all parts and their proper names.
Yes I did, 1st day he posted. I wanted to test that hammer! but I’m not sold on the magnetic being reliable even with a new lever–time will tell!

Ernest did you see Peters post on the Yellow showing the New cocking arm?

Just got the Hummingbird from WWAG in a smooth transaction.
First impression is, it is short, well balanced and very light weight, weighing just 8.0 lbs., including scope and picatinny riser block. I call the OEM picatinny rail an ‘appliance’ bar as the height leaves a little to be desired. LOL That being said, the OEM rail may fit some face structures, but not mine.
The picatinny rail riser is a Millett 1/2 inch, M4 riser. Works well for my cheek weld. Scope is Bushnell, 3×9.
I ordered the gun with the synthetic stock as they can take some rough use and still look nice. I might add that I love the mid-forward cocking lever.
I look forward to posting how it shoots.
