Yep. Another turkish made gun... true that. Thing is, Aselkon.. they attempted to market the thing in a few "waves". N to be honest.. kind of crashed n burned in first - if you know what i mean.
The thing here is.. Them turkish made guns have a rep thatīs.. shall we call it "varying"? Just a few yrs back the build Q left something to be desired to be blunt aaaaaaand.. this MX-10 is one of those.
Bought it for about a song at a local auction and then albeit put up as used.. not so. Brand new in box, and these things indeed come in a hardcase. Incl the "normal" bag of extra o-rings down to even a bottle of silikon oil.
To add insult to injury, as you open that hardcase up the thing really looks the part. But oh...

So? What are the specs, what IS an Aselkon MX-10? Welp.. in short a 22cal regulated bullpup that rides in a turkish walnut stock sporting 550mm worth of barrel.
In short the essence is there for a performer to be quite honest.. n indeed.. crashed n burned in first.
Donīt get me wrong, cause as many of you "regulars" are aware.. we kind of can make anything into a well working reliable screamer.
New.
Yeah. Might be, but the thing wouldnīt hold air right why i of course ripped the unit apart and.. this there is the stock valve n poppet. Sealing surface on the poppet looked like it had seen like 20k hits
Hm.
All said n done thereīs of course common nomers no matter which or what PCP, of course there is.. and this Aselkon no different. The stock hammer spring left some to be desired for performance use why i added one, this mainly as it hands a spring setup that gets.. how shall i put this.? More "soft n usable" than when running a singular stiffer unit.
In turn the margin of adjustment for it.. it sure needs more. Point here being that i for one at least find that hammer spring is a very viable, and indeed functional, manner in which to adjust power why this Aselkon in my opinion came up WAY to short in that dept.
Well well..
Right. So youīve seen me pull this stunt before. As the stock valve setup was shot, on a new gun mind you, i said.. to hell with it lets fab a setup that i KNOW to work.
So yep.. same poppet material iīve used many a time by now and in turn.. yep. A 2mm poppet spindle.
Thing is, this IS a good move and to be honest seeing what hardened 2mm axle material costs.. i kind of have a hard time taking to heart why this isnīt done more often by the mans.
I really do.
In another post here on that wonderful "airgun cane" we see an option to going that 2mm route which is using a balanced valve. Balanced valves are most certainly an option but the main issue with them is that the "span" of adjustment becomes rather limited.
The whole point of a 2mm spindle for the poppet in liason with a poppet head not of greater diameter than needed make for VERY reduced forces acting on the poppet, handing us (IMO at least) the best of two worlds really.
No. The use of a poppet on a 2mm spindle does NOT hold true "for performance use only" but can just as well be used for instance to keep hammer spring force needed at bay, handing us a cocking action of the gun that becomes butter smooth.
Other end of the spectrum it CAN certainly be used to up performance and as long as you dimension the parts involved to take the heat.. It simply works so well itīs an absolute joke.
For those of you not all thumbs looking into this.. just do it and be done with it already. I 100% guarantee, you will NEVER look back.
Yes.
It works THAT well, hence why i state that i have a hard time understanding why not more mans use this stunt.
Anyways..
Them loud? Yes, anything but "backyard friendly" by any measure. Thus a moderator is the LEAST itīll take! That being said, uhu.. it IS one good looking unit IMO.
However. Build quality really IS so-so. Itīs that simple, why there hasnīt been ONE thing iīve left well enough alone. Even the skeleton picatinny structure for the love a gawd..
Uhu. Clamping.. yadda yadda but the truth of the matter is that itīs just a cast aluminium piece theyīve friggin DRENCHED in two comp paint..n thus not ONE flat level to work from. *sighs*
