Description

The futuristic AirForce Texan has long been hailed as one of the most powerful and efficient PCPs on the market since its launch in 2015.

With a near-flawless design straight out of the gate, the Texan received a fully-moderated makeover in 2017 with the release of the TexanSS, which offered shooters the same power and style they loved while turning the shot volume way down.  Now AirForce brings us the Texan Carbine, an airgun that provides the same power and performance as its bigger brother, built as a highly-maneuverable PCP gun ideal for navigating heavy undergrowth or easy movement inside your hunting blind.

The 490cc air cylinder is capable of launching rounds at speeds up to 1,060 fps in .357 and 1,130 in .30.  That kind of power translates into an astounding 225 and 250 FPE, respectively. And now, with the addition of AirForce's updated TX2 valve (available exclusively in .457-cal. Texans) this gun can produce up to 400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy while sending .457-cal rounds downrange at speeds of up to 935 fps!

The Texan Carbine features adjustable power for shooting between 2-10 shots per fill, an adjustable buttpad for a secure hold, and a 2-stage trigger that adjusts down to a 2.06 lb trigger pull.  Atop this streamlined system rests the 11mm Dovetail rail for mounting your own choice of optics.

If you’re looking for one of the most iconic American made compact big bore PCPs available, choose the AirForce Texan Carbine, and see what your shooting sessions have been missing.

Powerful, accurate, it exceeded all of my expectations.

It is pretty darn loud, I mean it is LOUD. I would like to see a silenced option.

I guess I reaaly didnt know what to expect. This gun , 50 caliber Texan carbine is very powerful. It blew right through a 1 inch, and a 2 inch treated board. It also went straight through an empty small propane cylinder. it is very loud. I pumped it up with my old Benjamin pump, but it was a tough job. An electric pump is on the way. I will try and post a follow up review.

Single shot, the cocking mechanism, the rifle. I like the Airforce design. This is number five. First one was an early version .22 Talon SS (had it for many years) modified it to a .25, second is a .22 Condor SS (probably my favorite), third one is another .22 Talon SS. Then came the .45 Texan rifle, (did I mention noisy) and now number five, the .308 Texan carbine. They all shoot very well. I live in the country so I can shoot them all the time... and do. I am now considering a .25 cal. Condor SS (when funds become available). I have other brand PCPs, Benjamin and Beeman. They are all much fun to shoot, my grand kids like them too, their favorite targets are the cattails (not the kitty; the marsh plant) when conditions are right they explode in a big puff of cotton.

Nary a thing. I accept it just the way it is.

It is a bit noisy, but it is the carbine and I knew it would be. I get ten shots between 3K and 2K PSI using 85 grain or 100 grain bullets. I haven't had a chance to try others, I need more time with it.

I like the quality an design of this gun. An hope to be able to get shooting it soon. Ive only shot it about 10 times so far.. An I've had to re-size the ammo with my knife, just to be able to shoot it the few times it's been shot.

No where on the gun does it have the markings of what caliber the gun is. All the other guns i own, have those markings stamped on them. Why doesn't this brand or maker have that on each an every gun they produce?

An I'm having trouble finding the correct caliber of ammo/slugs to fit the gun i have. Which is the .357\9mm. Just about all the ammo ive purchased so far are to big to fit the barrel. The makers of this caliber need to make sure that they have the correct size, before they send it to us the customers, that are buying their ammo. An now I'm trying to find a way to re-size the ammo I've already purchased. Just so I'll have something to shoot in my new gun. An with most ammo, it's hard to find the right ammo to be shooting these days. Thank you

Before I make my purchase, I suppose it will be necessary to make sure getting the deadliest ammunition or most painful ammunition possible is not going to be an issue, which was my original reason for responding in the comment section. I strongly advise every American citizen to own some type of firepower since it does not appear that Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, and the non-humans they report to are going to let up. We should've never let our guard down, simply because they are extremely wealthy and have enticed many Americans to sell out their fellow brothers and sisters, especially farmers who sold their farmland to Bill Gates, so he can product non-nutritional GMO food as part of another slow-kill operation. They think we are stupid and call us useless eaters and Goyim. Visit deepstatecriminals.com ands study the blue image. It's happening now. If you are currently not under tyrranical oppression, please help your brothers and sisters who are, otherwise, we'll be next.

Timothy Sep 26, 2022

There is no doubt that mankind is under attack and mankind is taking every measure to protect himself, even the people who have wrongfully had their right to own a gun taken away under many different manufactured circumstances, created specifically to keep any firepower at all out of the hands of freedom-seeking normal people who don't want governments or their oligarchs interfering in their lives. I am looking for the most powerful deadly gun that is legal to carry without a license. I intend to use it only when needed, and strictly for self defense, or to maintain the gun. Khazarian mafia failed plandemic, although over the course of a decade it is likely billions will die from the liquid Bolshevik poison. Now these same sociopaths have blown up 95 food manufacturing facilities as part of their next slow-kill mission....famine in the USA. They continue spraying the skies with Graphene Oxide and other toxic nanoparticles, which amazes me that ALL pilots are willing to obey them.

The overall quality. This rifle is very compact and easy to handle.

Nothing. It is just like the original Texan but smaller.

If you are truly looking for an air rifle to take the place of your trusty 22 long rifle cartridge, then the .308 caliber is it. The good weather this spring plus the purchase of Air Venturi Nomad II gave me the opportunity to perform some chrony tests and dial in the tuner. This particular caliber likes the air tank to be filled around 2500 psi. Using Hornady .310 45 grain round ball and the air tank filled at 2300 psi the following velocities in fps were obtained;

Shot Velocity fps Energy
# fps Drop ft lbs
1 1093 119.4
2 1098 -5 120.5
3 1091 7 119.0

5 1070 13 114.4

I just got this and it rocks! I am still getting used to it, but so far I love it! Thanks to the Pyramid guy who recommended it!

The grip was loose when it arrived. It is hollow but there wasn't an included allen wrench that would reach to tighten it. I have a bit for my screwdriver and that reached and it is fine now, but other than that no complaints whatsoever. It is loud, but not as much as expected for a 5 rating on loudness (I got the .357).

I filled this the first time with a Hill hand pump. It wasn't that bad but I also got the Air venturi Nomad so now I am lazy unless the power goes out. I got a Hawke 4x16 44 with it which seems sweet. Haven't been able to fully sight it in yet because I'm not used to the gun yet, but I am hitting accurately within 10" with just mounting it and not adjusting anything at about 60 yards which is impressive to me at least. I was looking for a shorter maybe Bullpup design, but I am super happy with this even though it is a foot longer or so it is still pretty short.

So far very pleased with the rifle, but honestly I dont have much to base that on. Hopefully I'll get to shoot it soon! (More on that later). Seems to be well built. Easy assembly.

As others have said, ditch the dovetail and go with picatinny. Also it would be easy/inexpensive to add a couple sling points. FIND A NEW CARRIER!! FedEx isn't doing you any favors. My rifle arrived after 5 days (not 3 as advertised), and the box looked like it was washed up on that island with Tom Hanks and Wilson!! Water damage, crush damage, very disappointing. In addition, my order was split into 2 separate orders and even though they shipped the same day, the second order (scope, tank) arrived 2 days AFTER the rifle. My first 4 boxes of ammo should have been in that first order as well, but........

Well 1st....I ATTEMPTED to place my online order Sumday evening before new years' trying to get delivery by Thursday, 4 days later. When trying to check out there was some kind've problem with the website so my order didn't go through. Customer service was apparently overloaded the next day and I was unable to get through. Finally on Tuesday I was able to speak with someone and got the order placed. I WILL say the person I spoke with was very helpful. Took delivery of PART of my order on Monday (6 days later). The pellets I ordered were not in the delivery, and a retainer clip was missing from the rifle cocking lever (of course, no fault of Pyramid). The next day I got the pellets re-ordered and contacted Air Force for the missing parts. Air Force was very helpful and I received the parts less than 48hrs later. Needless to say, I sit here 11 days after my original order attempt and still am unable to shoot my $1000 rifle due to shipping delays with the SECOND pellet order!

Ryan Jan 20, 2020

UPDATE. everything finally arrived. Very pleased with accuracy/consistency using the 300 gr. air Venturi round nose flat points, hut will be ordering from Noelson Specialty for hunting rounds. ONE FINAL SUGGESTION...... do NOT get the mini wingman 100cc bottle expecting it to be efficient. The salesman I spoke with tried to talk me into a bigger tank but I wouldn't listen. I can get 2, possibly 3 fills starting at 2000 filling to 3000 psi. Luckily, and thanks to Pyramid's generous return policy, the cute lil tank will soon be headed back and my new 84 cu. ft. Tank should be here this week.
