That’s kind of a problem for me, bee; the Colibri is going to make me expend pellets even faster. :|. But still, it would be sweet to have a semi-auto rifle in my collection.
I hear ya Spin…..doubt I’d buy another rear-cocking gun. Colibri is really great when using Night Vision, as you can expend all 14 rounds without taking your eye off the scope. Tried NV with one of my Crickets and the rear lever is a struggle…
I can assure you (being a Colibri owner) that picture has no real mechanical similarities to the current one so I wouldn’t worry about them calling it a Colibri. It’s certainly not the same Colibri with the semi function hooked back up, totally different. I would imagine it will have a different name anyway.
Incidentally my Mk2 Colibri is the best gun I’ve owned (and I’ve got Vulcan/Cricket and had many others).
Looks like semi surely.. removable cover over the action? Spring/valve up to the cocking mech in the transfer passage (from cylinder) I’m assuming the yellow shaded area is also of significance. And the fact the cocking lever is in the rear position like it maybe gets held back there after cocking and loading to cycle itself after?
