Hi Briha Ji and members,
But I still have my own doubts In the picture, I could see that the karbin barrel is bulged in the tip. So do we need to remove that bulge and fix the front sight and then the rear sight?
I am still confused.
According to wiki, karbins were made in 1850's or some where before or after for the soldiers on horsebacks for immediate access. And those Karbins are less powerful and less accurate compared to the normal guns.
I hope precihole Karbins are not same:-)

Hi Kiran,
> As Precihole confirmed - Karbin's short barrel does not affect velocity...
> The bulge in the tip you mention is the Muzzle Brake - It can be removed to fix 'normal front sight'...
> For your information the muzzle break is provided to ease the cocking effort & also render a balance to the air rifle....
> Can't understand why you had to refer to 'wiki' for information on 'Karbin' - as we are concerned with air rifles & not firearms....Those 1850 models referred to firearms 'Carbines' which had short barrels to help soldiers on horse-backs to shoot with ease - as long barrels would make it inconvenient to raise the rifle while galloping to shoot
> Also Karbins having less power etc. etc. & less accurate than normal air guns does not arise... as precihole makes them to conform to the forensic requirement of a maximum 12 foot-pound output.
> FINALLY - please put your confusion to rest - Karbin is specially designed to suit personal preferences of shooters who prefer short barrels... that's all - They are as good as "Normal Air-Guns" in terms of velocity & accuracy
> Hope all your queries are answered
