I'm impressed with the .22 caliber JTS Airacuda max. I'll give the pros first. The gun comes nicely boxed in a molded foam form in a nice graphic box. The wood is smooth with no rough edges. The stippling is really sharp and no areas that "just passed" inspection. The staining is very well done. No areas that I can see that "just passed inspection." The overall fit and finish is very acceptable for a budget pcp. Metal is all black anodized.. Two magazines all metal and smooth to operate. Loads into the gun smoothly. The cocking of the lever action is very smooth. Soft lead pellets (jsb's) load into the breech very smooth. Harder lead pellets go in with some resistance. Slugs load with a lot of resistance. The accuracy with pellets is very good. Shot string at last of pictures.
Now for the cons on my 3rd refill air leaked bad out fill nipple. The fix was so simple and easy to do. It took longer to drain the gun of air than the fix. When firing the gun there awas a very noisy hammer spring vibration. Another very easy fix with some grease on the spring where is goes into the hammer. Stopped the vibration. Smoothed out the hammer spring ends also they were a little on the rough side.
I'm pleased with the purchase of the Airacuda max. Would be awesome if JTS made a single shot tray and included with purchase. Cleaned the bore with ballistol . JTS have very good disassemble videos and others on youtube. Lots of help available.
