Kalibrgun Cricket Carbine in 25 caliber

[actionpistol]

Finally got my new kalibergun cricket out to play. Bought it from Georgia airguns couple weeks ago. 25 caliber. It Likes the JSB Hades 26.54 grains which I shot at 50 yards (target pic attached)
Chronograph results for 12 shots as follows
Avg velocity 977 fps
ES 10
SD 3

Also liked the JTS 33.80 grains. I also shot these at 50 yards. Target pic attached. Chronograph results for 12 shots as follows
Avg velocity 894 fps
ES 4
SD 1

Getting about 40 shots with 260 bar fill. Pretty happy with it.

Looks to be shooting good. Got any pictures of the gun? That the full size or mini verison. Wasn’t sure if they even still made those. I wouldn’t mind a mini version

Georgia airguns list the mini in 22 caliber. But you are better just calling and talking to Charlie

That’s a really nice looking gun. I think I asked awhile back about a mini. Maybe I’ll email him again. Thanks

How loud is it ? that's a hell of a can on the end of that thing.

Those are damn good rifles, especially the .22 cal power tuned.

Really quiet. That's the moderator that came with it.

I too just got my hands on a Cricket Carbine in .22, and can't imagine how I missed out on these rifles for so long. I'd heard of them, seen pics of them, but really didn't know much about them, and found a good deal on one while looking for a Taipan. I'm sure glad I decided to bite on it instead. Mine will do just over an 1" at 100 yards with FX 18.1gr domed even in a very light wind. It's pretty amazing how it works for sure. About the only complaint is the safety sucks, so I removed it completely, but hey!, I also removed the safety on both of my Crosman Challengers, and I never use them on any other airgun I own, so I guess it's not an issue for me.
These are truly amazing rifles with almost no flaws at all.

They do have one flaw. Eventually the magazine advance pawl will flex out and not rotate the mag properly. Rowe has a video somewhere on how to fix it, though.

I have liked that 25 for some time but the length listed on MR. Frear's website says it is 46" long. That is about 7" longer than would prefer.

Shoot it without the moderator. It screws off

Yeah. I'm constantly bumping that safety. I have a taipan long in 25 also. But I really love my taipan. But this cricket is good also.

I wonder if a shorter Supressor work about as ?

I’ve been trying to buy one off a squirrel hunting buddy for about 3 years now since he gave hunting up but I haven‘t got it yet. His is a 22 and it will hang with my Taipan 22 long accuracy wise. His safety is also jacked up but hasn’t had the magazine advance issue yet. Nice rifles!

Yes I like mine. Hopefully you have luck with your buddy and he sells it to you

actionpistol I have to take back my statement of the moderator being so big, I just measured mine and it is 8" long, whisper quite btw. The 25cal must be attached different than the 22 cal. as mine is a slip fit with a grub screw. I'll never get rid of it because of the accuracy. Did Charlie send you a sheet with different pellet accuracy tests ? he did with mine.
My 22 cal. 2019

My moderator screws off. Not sure of the thread pitch. And yes he did send 2 sheets with targets shot at 40 yards. He also polished barrel, crowned it and aligned and smoothed the ports on it. Great guy to deal with
