What is in a Karnivor?

[Miscue]

I'm trying to figure out what makes it cost $1150, besides the body. Anyone know?

[Target Practice]

It comes with all that hype, and hype can get expensive.

the crappy yellow coloration

[TraXeR]

Full barrel kit, new type of internal cocking system, lots of milling and matching anno, and all the STO parts, well atleast thats what I'd think since those can get pricey.

Thinking of getting one?

No it is the crappy yellow coloring that makes people think it is gold plated.

It's an incredibly sexy gun to me... and I like everything about it except the price. I don't know jack about cockers. What makes it mechanically different from a Super-Cocker that's half the price?

Also, does anyone know what microprocessor is used in the E-Blade?

Yeah, thinking about it. I'm just totally captivated by that moving back block - I should never have test fired one.

A term a person in denial for spending that much money on a cocker uses? Could have gotten an X-Mag, DM4, Fly, Fly or Fly for that.

[Vash-HT]

well when you think about it a stock cocker+barrel kit+worrblade is around 900$(not sure), so 200$ for some nice milling and anno isnt that bad, plus the new cocking system, and i think it comes with the tickler reg too, plus that nice -15 asa.

Then you don't wanna Karnivor, because i believe with the ICS(internal cocking system) the back block doesn't move.

Has to, the bolt has to be pulled back.

[TraXeR]

it moves... but barely, like instead of an inch, inch and a half, its liek 1/4 of an inch give or take a 16" or so.

at least 2/3's of an inch, again, the bolt has to be pulled back far enough for the ball to be loaded. into the breech

said but true...this happened to me. i love the noise it makes when it cycles....clack clack clack......sigh

[TraXeR]

yep, but for all we know, some of the cocking might be done on the inside of the body, so the back block fully show the total cocking movement. i could just be blowing smoke up your.. yeah, but it could be true. I've never looked at the internals if the Karnivor.

The Karnivor block moves as much as any other Autococker's.

The Karnivor is pretty dang light. The ICS eliminates the need for a beavertail (no way to thumb the unexposed cocking rod). The flat/shiny anno is pretty hot, too. I don't know if it's worth $1000+, but it is very nice.
