NEWS ABOUT KUENG AIRGUNS   JUNE 2007 - HYPERMAGNUM PROTOTYPE UNDERGOES TESTING We are very pleased with the way the Kueng HyperMagnum pistol performs. Both power and accuracy are superb. Handling and shooting the gun is an outstanding experience.     SEPTEMBER 2006 - PISTOL PROTOTYPE NEARS COMPLETION As the workshop has been setup with the new machinery, the pistol prototype nears completion. All the stuff not produced inhouse; raw materials like profiles, bars, precision steel tubing, screws, nuts, springs (including main spring), seals, and Lothar Walther barrel, have finally been obtained. Watch out for pictures of the unfinished prototype and the first data!     JULY 2006 - NEW FACILITIES We have finally found suitable facilities for the workshop. Manufacturing is planned to commence in August.     NOVEMBER 2005 - MOVING FACILITIES An unexpected development: we are forced to move our facilities at the end of January. Unfortunately we cannot anticipate when the re-opening of the workshop will happen. Orders for custom works can therefore only be accepted until the end of November. (Note that the shipping of items in stock is not affected by this.) Truly sorry about this inconvenience.       OCTOBER 2005 - MAJOR CHANGE OF COURSE Our original idea was to just design and develop, and outsource the actual production of prototypes or any possible serial production. A number of unresolved problems, one being cost, have led us to believe that we must do all manufacturing in-house, with a few minor exceptions; specialized parts such as springs, seals, and barrels, as well as bluing/plating processes. We are currently setting up the machinery that will allow us to manufacture airguns from the ground up in-house. This is also giving us maximum control over quality. Watch out for some radical changes on this website soon to happen.     MAY 2005 - GUN MAGAZINE COVERAGE Issue June of "Visier/Schweizer Waffenmagazin" contains a six page long story about Dan Kueng!         APRIL 2005 - INTERVIEW WITH DAN KUENG Watch out for the German gun magazine "Visier". Issue June is planned to include a story about Kueng Airguns, written by journalist Ulrich Eichstädt.     FEBRUARY 2005 - DUPLICATING MACHINE INSTALLED The new stock duplicating machine is now in operation and works a treat! We are proud to announce that our workshop is now capable to reproduce freeform 3D-objects from 1:1 patterns such as full riflestocks up to the following approximate dimensions: X-axis: 200mm/7.8in Y-axis: 800mm/31.5in Z-axis: 80mm/3.15in Suited materials are most species of wood and millable polymers. Soft metals such as aluminum have yet to be tested. Reproducing items makes only economic sense if the number of copies is a minimum of 10. Minutiae: •Accuracy is in the range of ±0.2mm. •It is not possible to trace stippling or checkering. •The machine makes exact copies of the original. •The original's finish may be slightly affected by the tracing through the stylus. •It is necessary to glue two center bases onto the pattern. This also may affect the finish of the original.         Web Design © by Blue Line Studios
