Hummingbird/Colibri coming my way next week!
Sorry to pass the bad news—->no semi-auto being delivered to the U.S. this year. I’m getting the forward left side manual cocking in .22 dress in walnut. Keep you posted with photos and spec when in hand!

I see Bori has them for sale at Top Gun.

I really think this is a good thing in the long run. I am the former owner of a FX Revolution. When the gun worked it was great but it was a real complicated PITA. I could not switch pellets in fear of not having enough back pressure to cycle the gun. The gun constantly blew O rings. The Revolution loved to jam in cold weather. All in all I was very unhappy with the gun. I had pre-ordered the Colibri with Steve from WWAG not because of the semi-auto feature but because the Colibri is a genius design. That magazine looks simple and awesome. The bolt is in a real ergonomic spot on the gun. When I handled the gun in person I thought this gun was the future of bullpups. I wish Kalibrgun had never announced the gun was a semi-auto. If they would have introduced this gun as a bolt action repeater we all would be clamoring to get one. Now everyone seems disappointed that it is not a full semi-auto. I hold the opinion that we are better off that the gun is a bolt action. Simple, light, small and powerful. What else could us bullpup addicts want for? The semi-auto feature is non sequitur.
Really looking forward to real world field testing for durability, accuracy and shot count on these…. equally looking forward to tear down and tuning tips. I can think of no better hands for an early example to be in than yours Ernest.
The Colibri looks very appealing to me as someone is finally selling a bullpup with the bolt in the “correct” location.
I also like to see the first batch is bolt action; I’d prefer that over semi auto. Or at least if they have the capability to switch between bolt action and semi.
A few remaining from the first batch just got posted for sale over on the Yellow Classifieds…
Ernest, make videos when you can please.
Awny
Don’t know if .25 is available, Colibri are not for sale to the public yet. this one was giving to me so I can tune and repair and any other problems that my come up and able to fix or help future owners of any issue, will order all orings or make custom parts. so I can get ahead of the ball game in customer service at WWAG.
Since it’s a manual-matic, how much did you pay and who’s selling them?
Do you know if it’s being offered in .25 caliber or any other calibers? Thank you in advance.

I will wait until Earnest fixes the burrs and the doodads and the sticking stuff and makes better parts for it before I lay down my ten dollars down for it
Maybe WWA will trough in a free tune up from earnest. Just thinking.
