Kral Arms Purpose built airguns

[thammer]

I really enjoy having a rifle built for the purpose it's intended for. To me that means accuracy, power, and shot count match it's intended use. Since for me that's different for a lot of applications I keep them based on budget guns that I build out with custom parts so they do what I need, when I need it, without spending thousands of dollars. I can have multiple guns for the cost of one and not sacrifice anything. I have 5 shots per fill, light, accurate guns that put out 100fpe in .30 or a hunting gun doing 3 shots at 300fpe in .357 and plinkers doing a full tin of pellets on a fill at 10fpe plus many in between. My latest build is a .35 bighorn in a puncher breaker stock. TJ barrel at only 22" can do a full 7 shot magazine plus a few follow up shots with FX Hybrids at near 150fpe and with the tube and only filling to 3000psi it's only 8lb plus optics and a buddy bottle in the backpack keeps me shooting big critters all day. I don't like re-tuning a gun everytime my needs change so I keep an assortment of purpose built guns on hand. Anyone else feel this way or am I just crazy about the building process which is YES...

The picture still has the factory barrel installed but the TJ is on there now.

You need some rail covers to keep your cheek in decent shape ^_^

@thammer I like to keep certain guns configured for certain tasks too, but I don’t build guns. I think that’s awesome and I didn’t know you did custom builds. I like some of those descriptions and at a budget price. How does one go about getting a custom build from you?

Building is my full time job. I'm the senior airgunsmith for Pyramyd Air. The Gauntlet .30 and the SL were both my builds. I did the Seneca II versions of all the guns for AV and the new Avenge-XL is my build.

@thammer Duly noted. I didn’t know that either.

Your motivation with my Empire XS hasn’t been forgotten. Once everything was ironed out with that gun, it’s been serving its purpose ever since. It’s never been back to my house. It stays at the shop and has never delivered anything but a dead on full power first shot even after sitting for many many months. Which reminds me, I need to check on it. We’ve been too busy to even think of shooting or even inspecting it for maybe 6 months now.

Nice work bud, I enjoy seeing the builds. Only problem is then I want one .I’m slowing starting to learn how to do some basic builds/mods myself. It’s another rabbit hole but I’m having fun.
Take care

I've admired your work for a long time. Watched your videos even if it had nothing to do with any of my guns. You're a wealth of knowledge and sure appreciate you sharing that with all of us.
Thank you
Mike

Definitely nice to have options and a variety to choose from

I co sign on the appreciation. It’s awesome that guys like Troy and other OG members share and help others. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I hope to one day be able to pass on the knowledge that was freely given
