Wookie Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 So, the Urika 2... Is it really all that? Has anyone got anything bad to say about it? Anything that has gone wrong that needed expensive fixing or a trip back to the gunsmith? Can I shoot steel through it? What loads can it cycle? How reliable it is with 24g hushpowers? Anything to watch out for when shooting one? Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 No bud the Urika both series one or two are a brilliant gun, the only trouble really is when they are not cleaned at all inside I have seen one that had shot about twelve thousand rounds from new ,never cleaned and the gas piston was just a solid mess, after a good clean it functioned as good as new. the new series (2) have a new gas piston that is self cleaning (up to a point) and is designed for 24 gram and higher both are chambered 3inch and you can shoot steel shot but like other manafacturers guns you are advised not to shoot tighter than half choke which throws a full pattern with steel I shoot 6 thousand shells a year with my Urika and its never missed a beat. Just noticed you want to shoot hushpower ammo through it? Hmm then I cant give a knowledgable reply to that question as all Gas auto,s bleed off some gas pressure to cycle the ejection/reload cycle.!! and sub sonic ammo dont have much grunt anyway.Best ask GMK for advice on the sub sonic shells, cheers.

Wookie Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thought as much... all the reviews said it was great, but reviews can sometimes not reflect people that have actually used things in the normal world. Cheers for that Berettaman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Nope. Not counting my chickens yet. Fingers crossed though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I tried Hull Chevron in mine,the empty did not eject it works well with all 28gm loads so far. I will try some 24gm Express plastic through it this weekend. It's just a new gun I've only fired about 250 cartridges up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
