Kalibrgun Did another mod to my Cricket 2

[DBlue]

With the crap weather we have right now, I got bored and machined an insert to go in the receiver end of the carbon fiber barrel sleeve I've got on my Cricket rifle and using the thread adaptor I machined for the moderator I can tension the carbon fiber sleeve against the face of the receiver and add tension to the barrel. I tested it out on my range today and I can see a difference it made in the grouping of the Nielson 17.5 gr. slugs I'm shooting at 50 yards. I absolutely love this little rifle.....I've got a like new M3 Impact that shoots lights out but I enjoy shooting this Cricket more....

Here's a full mag (14) shots at a measured 50 yards.........

Great shooting and mod! I would love to have the time to do all kinds of at home stuff on these airguns.

What size slugs are you using? My previous cricket 2 loved those 17.5gr NSA in .2155

Thanks……I tried several different sizes and this one liked the 17.5 .216’s the best. I’ve got a small machine shop here at my home, I’ve got two lathes and 2 milling machines etc. and I’m retired now….I’m always tinkering trying different things…
