It meets the demands of diehard airgun hunters. Uses any type of .22 caliber airgun ammo without jamming. Overall length is 17.3", barrel length is 10" and weight is 3.05 lbs.

Starting at 3,000 PSI with a 11.9-grain RWS Hobby pellet:
1st shot: 922 fps
10th shot: 685 fps

Starting at 3,000 PSI with a 28-grain Eun Jin pellet:
1st shot: 701 fps

The AR6 is Built Tuff. Quality little air gun. The pictures here are my gun. Target picture is a common 6 shot pattern. 1st 2 shots are solid and shoot on the high side, next 4 shots were lower. Grouping and Windage are consistent. Best to shoot 6 rounds and top off your air tank for best consistentcy. This is a very loud air gun, 10 inch barrel at 1000fps requires a lot of air to be released. I added a WOLF on the barrel. This is a Target and Hunting gun. Made to have a stable platform to steady your shots.

Needs a bigger air tank. There is a 24" Longer Barrel and Larger Air Tank version out there, but hard to find. I would shave off some of the extra Lumber. If I was a better at wood working, It is Hard Walnut.

Its LOUD.. Best Bring Ear Plugs. It does Not shoot as a 2 Stage Trigger out of the box. It is my understanding that if the inside moving parts Trigger & Hammer are polished.It will shoot Semi-Auto/2 Stage Trigger mode. It is a Target Gun, meant to be Cocked, Aimed And Trigger Pulled for a more accurate shot.

I just picked up the 25 caliber version of the hunting master. First impression, great craftsmanship. The fit and finish is excellent. The revolver cylinders slide into the frame with a good fit with no percieved gap, very tight machining tolerances in the construction. Very powerful as well. I have quite a few air pistols and this one definitely seems the most powerful. 6 good full power shots on a full charge. Accuracy seems like it has good potential.

The top of the dovetail rail on top of the receiver is rounded. Normal dovetail rings and mounts do not like to mount vlbecause of that domed top not giving proper clearance. I had to mill out my dovetail base on the mount to accomodate it would have been easier to have a flat top on the rail. The trigger seems to need a little tuning too. Most other air pistols either come with a built in shroud or moderator or at least a threaded muzzle to accept something . This does not. Definitely needs something to reduce the noise.

Very loud. Beautiful wood stock/grip. Seems to favor baracuda pellets in 25 cal so far.

Marcus May 06, 2019

I have now put this pistol through the first round of accuracy testing. It definitely likes Baracuda pellets, and it is good accuracy for a pistol with a red dot. On my 10 Meter range shooting off a bench a full cylinder of pellets (6) will group within about a penny sized group. It would be really nice to have a gauge on the air reservoir. As of now I have not done any chronograph testing, but the gun does sound noticeably different on shot 1 and 2 vs shot 6. After 6 shots the power seems to bleed off exponentially. As of now without chronographing I am sticking to just 6 shots per fill in order to be most consistent in accuracy testing.

Very high quality is obvious, with a beautiful wood grip. I have not tried to see how many shots I can get on a full pressurized system but I have not noticed any negligible difference after 18 shots. Easy to pressurize with my Hill pump. and seems very accurate. Would be great for back packing to get camp meat.

I think I could forego the wood and have a slimmer and a more functional pistol grip with a weaver rail under barrel for a light or laser for field use.

A little expensive but the quality tells you why. For a hand gun to shoot close to 1000' per and be this accurate is a testament to modern day craftsmanship.

WILLIAM Sep 17, 2018

What muzzle limiter are you using? How much does it affect the muzzle velocity? Thanks for any enlighten you can provide. WA

Luv this AR6. Its as close as a shooter can get to a mid-power .22 rifle. Accurate for 12 good hard shots. Meets all my expectations. Single Action is smooth as silk. Solid Steel 6 Round Cylinder makes this Revolver cycle nice and consistent. How fast can you shoot? (Do Not shoot in Double Action, Must be cocked then trigger pulled:^) AR6 can keep up at any speed you can shoot. The stock is very nice No Varnish to chip and mark up. Sanded smooth and oiled. Proper way to treat a piece of walnut I must say. Heavy Duty Hammer and Trigger great single action setup at its price range.

More contoured Stock. Little of that Nice Hard Walnut Shaved off would save some weight, like 1/4-1/2lb. Bottom Nub is HUGE, but works excellent with a Bi-Pod or Gun Rest for a level stable platform to shoot from. A Lighter Tactical Look would be cool. It is LOUD. Shroud and Baffle the Barrel Would be nice to have non-destructive Double Action

It will bend parts inside if you shoot Double Action (Pulling the Trigger without cocking the hammer) youtube tutorials by Dirt'ae Harry are very informative, just too much incorrect info. The Cylinder Magazines that are shown on the video's have been modified too shoot the longer Pointed Eunjin 32.4gr Pellets. Todays AR6 can only shoot the Lighter Round Head Eunjin 28.5gr Pellets.
Dirt'ae Harry's Beard is painted on:^P
12 shots refill it tends to shoot high first couple shots, and a bit Low last 2 shots.

The pistol is much lighter than I thought it would be. Should make a great hunter.

It would be nice if it had a air gauge.

I like the power, the wood stock and the feel.

I have the .22 cal., it can only be shot in single action. Plus I would add an air gauge, it has none. Put some iron sites on it.

It advertises 1000 fps but it only gets 675 fps on my crony. The power is there but it is short the 1000 fps.
I get 10 full power shots, each mag holds six pellets. The mag is large so you can put very large pellets
into it and not have to worry about pellet size.

John Feb 27, 2019

That 1000 fps is not with lead pellets. Which pellet gave you 675 fps?? No one wants to state what the actual chronographed fps is, and what Pellet and grainage weight used. Woodys World.

pcp4me May 29, 2017

I know that it will get 1000 fps. How? The absolute lightest ALLOY pellet you can find. That is how most manufacturers test for velocity!

Nothing. What a piece of junk. This pistol is in my trash can. It is inoperable and there is no way to send it back for repair. I live outside the United States and recent TSA regulations prohibit the shipment of ANYTHING resembling a firearm (even TOYS!) into the United States. Despite multiple phone calls with Pyramid Air and some freebie seals and parts, no one outside the States can figure out how to take it apart and fix it. Actually, one did take it apart, placed new seals, but it still failed to recharge - leaking air immediately upon charging.

This was my first PCP and my first air gun, so I was not familiar with how these worked. What no one told me and I never read it anywhere, is that there must always be some pressure inside the gun at all times. Do NOT shoot it until the air is empty! Further, do not leave the hammer down when not in use. It can press on a tiny valve that can release air. (This is why one reviewer says to cock the hammer when recharging). So four weeks after I shot the gun empty and left the hammer down, it would not recharge properly, leaking air from multiple ports during the recharge process. Of course this was after I purchased a $600 air tank and finally got a correct tubing with quick connect as Air Pyramid sent me the wrong recharging set up (a $125 mistake). After spending $2000 for the gun, wrong tubing, international courier delivery via FEDEX, customs taxes, air tank, corrected tubing, and valves, it doesn't work at all and I cannot send it back. Bummer.

Always leave positive air pressure inside the gun. Never shoot it empty. The air seals always need some positive air pressure. Don't store with the hammer down. Leave the hammer cocked.
One more thing: the lack of iron sights is a major problem. I tried to fit a red dot sight on it, but after placing an adapter, it sits so high up that it made it very difficult to adjust the windage.

Matt Feb 18, 2020

Clearly this guy didn't do any research . His gun did NOT leak, or break or anything like that. This Is just another proven point in the stupidity.He shot out all the air or the hammer pushed on the valve in storage and released air and he didn't cock it when refilling it. Everyone knows you have to cock a pcp when filling It, If It's completely empty!!!

Derek Jun 11, 2018

did you fire it as single or double action?

pcp4me Jul 24, 2017

Ok, here is a procedure I have used on leaking air guns with good results. Silicone oil! Inject it in the loading port liberally, then fill it, allow the air to leak out, more oil, refill it, and so on. Usually by the third fill the gun has stopped leaking for me. The liberal use of the silicone oil makes the seals pliable again. If/when it stops leaking you must shoot the gun a bunch to get rid of the excess oil! DO NOT use any type of petroleum based oil!! Also it helps to wait 24 hours between the oil application to give the seals a chance to absorb oil. Good luck and hope this helps those with leaking guns. If the problem is dry seals it should. If a seal is cut/damaged, it won't! I have used this technique to revive two leaking air guns.

jeff Jun 10, 2016

i didn't think p'a' shipped outside the U.S. btw if you threw away a 600 $ airgun because you couldn't find a gunsmith to help out you' re an idiot.

tony May 14, 2016

Andrew, Brocock has a .177 cal. pistol that is all class, you'd love it or get it in 22 cal. which ever, I use the .177 w/huggett suppressor on it and you can't tell it's even being fired !

tony Jul 20, 2015

Andrew, get an FX ranchero 22 cal.you'll spend about $1,230.00 for it but it's Swiss made,there is no other gun like it, it comes with either a wood stock or the synthetic which looks beautiful to say the least!!!!

Very Hard hitting and incredibly accurate. I found the best pellet for it to be the Kodiak. Also works well with the Excite copper coated pointed pellets for better penetration. Every pellet hits the same hole at 25 yards. Easily goes through a 1 inch board. Buries pellets 2 inches into 4x4. Was not able to measure pellet speed with my Speeder 2000 Shooting Chrony. Chrony shows pellets to be moving at 3,800 FPS and I know they can't be traveling that fast. Chrony worked correctly with all other guns I have used it with. Think the problem with the speed measuring is that the gun blasts out a lot of air at very high velocity. I am sure the pellet is not traveling at the speed measured but air with other debris is traveling at supersonic speeds which is why the guns makes so much noise. The Chrony is probably measuring the supersonic speeds of the debris coming out the barrel. Later correctly measured initial velocity with Pro Chrono to be 844 fps with 21.12 grain copper coated Kodiak pellet.

Does not have a pressure gage. Does not come with sights. Does not have a cover over the fill hole. Does not have a hammer block. Makes a lot of noise. Is picky about which pellets it will work with.

Others have said this gun works with any .22 pellet. I have not found that to be the case. Most of the pellets I have tried are a lose fit in the revolver magazine. When the gun is pointed down (which is the way I normally carry it for safety), the pellet directly behind the barrel falls into the barrel. When the hammer is pulled back the cylinder rotates and another pellets lines up with the barrel resulting in the first shot with a full revolver magazine firing two pellets at once. Use of the Kodiak and other pellets like them that are slightly bigger solves this problem as the pellets are a snug fit in the magazine and will not fall into the barrel.

This pistol does not have a hammer block. I accidently dropped the gun from 1 foot above a carpeted floor with the safety on. The gun discharged a pellet. The only safe way to carry it is to fire the first shot in a safe direction after loading a full magazine. That way if it falls it may discharge air but will not fire a pellet.

Derek Jun 11, 2018

In my black powder days I used to only charge 5 chambers of my 6 shot revolvers just as extra safety.

Bob M Dec 28, 2015

After reading some of comments about the lack of a hammer block, discharging a pellet and failures to fill when empty or causing air to bleed off, I looked for a simple solution....Remove the mag and position it between the hammer and the back of the receiver. It stays there pretty well with the detent ball sitting in the receiver hole. It holds the hammer off the valve pin without having the hammer spring fully compressed. Not a perfect cure but sure is a simple one. I also cut out some foam in the box to clear it in that position for storage.

Everything except the trigger and no sights. I can get one-inch groups at 20 yards with 28.5 grain Eun-gins and about 645 fps initial muzzle velocity, dropping down to about 500 fps by 495 by the 6th shot

Put some iron sights on it like the Hatsan and reduce the size of the butt on the hand grip - you don't need so much wood down there
