Thanks for the heads up, Kilmouski. Guess I’ll scratch Krals off my list if their support is nigh nonexistent in the US.

Kral basically doesn’t exist in the US anymore. And I don’t think this gun ever even got produced.

Sold it to my buddy for $300. He was always an airgun guy but with cheap springers so I offered it to him. He almost didn’t buy it because he said it didn’t sound very powerful. One evening we were gabbing on my porch and a rabbit was down by my 100 yard spinners. I went in and grabbed that gun and said go ahead and try this limp noodle on that rabbit. Told him what reference mark in the reticle to use. Thump, flippity flop dead. He went down to his house and got me the $300. Since then he has taken some stuff out with it. Decent size stuff.

That's funny. I followed that build thread and it's what made me buy the first jumbo I built and still have. I've had a few others, but that 25 cal I built is staying.

I built that gun for my sisters husband. And when we went there several times a year, that gun did not disappoint. It was just so easy for everyone to shoot it well. Plus it wasn’t a dangerous cannon. Now I take my FX Dreamtac Compact for him to shoot since I made a barrel for it. Now we can trust it and not spend half the time tweaking the scope. The Jumbo went down the road because I’m out of room and I didn’t want to sell my FX DRS classic for $300. I could easily make the Jumbo fit his first PCP budget. He got way more gun than he will ever know. Mainly because he doesn’t care to know. He just likes to shoot.

It's sad that kral has kinda of fizzled out. They needed to do a little refinement and better tuning on them, and I really think they could've been a top level contender in the mid tier pcp bracket. They were a bit overpriced at first, but now $500 for a gun like the jumbo sounds about right.
With the proper tuning and make a functional shroud from the factory, they could easily sell for $600+ with the walnut stocks.
Just look at what snowpeak is doing with their M16/XM line of guns. $300 bucks for a regulated mid 30 fpe 22 with decent shot count and nice side lever.
Still no functional shroud. That is a killer for me. I need quiet and powerful and under 38" MAX length with shroud/mod.

I just jumped back on the forum to say almost what you just said. I always looked forward to what they would offer next. Even if I had no plans of starting a new project. Glad I bought that Empire XS when it came out. My final Kral and a wonderfully unregulated keeper.
