Hoot,
That gun reminds me of the old WWII 9mm Sterlings we would come accross in the M.East.
NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😆
That little gem I’m holding is a “Feather AT-9″, 9mm, 32 shot, collapsible wire stock, made in Colorado. It was made only in three pistol calibers, .22, 9mm, and .45 ACP (or so I hear). The one I’m holding is 25 years old, blow-back action, weighs 4lbs, and is surprisingly accurate. It has a 3/4″ thick barrel, and a heavy bolt. Gunsmith assured me it would handle +P rounds, and recommended 124gr as optimal slug weight. Push a +P 9mm slug down a 17” barrel, and it develops some .357 magnum qualities.
It was outlawed by the Clinton Administration’s “banned assault rifle list”, so the owner said the hell with it and just stop making them.
The outfit still exists, but hasn’t produced anything since the ’80’s. I got a call from a fella named “Justin” who said they might take some orders mid-Summer this year. They have a website still, not updated in years, and an “800” number. Even have a couple of Youtube videos. They show up on some gun auction sites, but very rarely.

Yes, I saw those groups and they are piss poor. However, such groups are not a symptom of poor regulator or power restriction. Rather a poor crown or pellets clipping the shroud or just pellets not suited for the gun. If you have problems with power the distribution – those shots would form a line, either vertical or diagonal. I see a point in Ratworks power restriction approach, it’s not as good as matched hammer spring but does provide other “UK good things” like reduced plenum volume and thus reduction in air available to the gun and making it impossible to reach higher power without disassembly. I actually had a similar thing happen with my Evanix Blizzard which restricted the power to 150 fpe, perhaps that’s what ratworks was trying to achieve? Anyway, for a regulated gun – well – those are a whole another story but all in all it’s not entirely crap approach as stated – just not the best one and if done properly it shouldn’t affect power or accuracy.
Read your self or is dimion from kalibrgun uk giving out freebies to cover ratworks feck ups for notning
A power adjustment that ruins accuracy? If he just puts a restrictor in front of the valve that should affect accuracy anyway. Actually a restrictor in front of the valve is a rather good way of achieving a flat shot string in unregulated guns but it will make the low pressure speed curve drop like a rock.

So what’s Phil done to get all the bashing? I’ve had one exceptional barrel and nice bolt handle from him and I’ve seen some very nice custom jobs he’s done. What’s gone wrong since?
Looking very nice is no use if it sends out 12 inch groups at 30-40 yard is it as sir ville says check out the uk forums kalibrgun forum or check out link i postec
Queers are easy….you got to use camo to get near enough for a pcp nut-shot, which will take them down long enough to tag them for later research! The Liberals outlawed “Homo-Kamo” sales in the U.S., so I had Sir Ville pick up a nice Summer outfit for me in Sweden, at the brothel he frequents. It gets the job done. Problem is you’ve got to get them on the first few shots, or those nimble little pricks will throw their purse at you, and disappear into a bathhouse!
Liberals are more difficult to confuse. It takes money and entitlements to get a clean shot.

What kind of 9mm is that :hoot: ?
A lot if you ask the buying Public it seems. Check the KalibrGun forum.

According to FB, they’ve only got 3 on order…

If I put corn in front of my target, the conservation officer have me in jail…
I had to bribe them with some molasses on the corn to get them to pose like that 30 yards from my house. 🙂
Don’t you love it when they pose in front of your target just taunting you.
Good looking boys.

Yeah…it does resemble a Sterling. 9 mm is mostly an indoor fun gun for room cleansing, and vacating unwelcome visitors. At 1200 fps, 115 gr slugs, it resembles today’s 9 mm pcp air guns!
Oh well….I feel better sleeping with it under my pillow at nights.
