Thanks! Yeah, the 22 breaker and this 25 stack them very well. The 25 jumbo puts them in a dime at 50 yards with 50 fpe.

Show us your squirrel gun for this season!

Todd I believe you have perfected the Kral squirrel gun. We need them to come out with a factory NP03 in this configuration.

Their new lineup isn't impressing me, but if I could get them to make a jig for this stock setup, I bet they'd sell a ton with the np03 sized gun. A regulated 22 setup would be a hot seller I'd think. The only drawback with this one is the low shot count. Most people want a million shots with 1000 fpe and a 30" rifle! I know I do!

I think this one is an undeniable seller. Hell guys are still paying $400 for a p-rod, they’ll dish out $300-350 for a thumbhole 03. It would look real slick with that $200 sidewinder Patners had in the classifieds forever. Can’t believe that’s still there lol.

Thays my next purchase is good glass for it. The westhunter isn't bad, but over 12x it gets a little distorted/fuzzy and I can't get it to focus clear at 40 and under. Turn it down its fine, or longer ranges it's great.
Those sidewinders are pretty expensive new, if I wasn't paying down the Christmas debt and taxes(1099 independent) I'd be all over that.

Same boat man I’ve been wanting to buy it since he put them up. Damn house and about to spend ten grand on appliances so I haven’t been able to justify it. My discovery scope is the same way, 24 power scope but it’s max usable is probably 16 power.

I remember you telling me that with the scope. My sniper scopes are very clear and work well, gather alot of light for a 1" tube. Theyre just old school tech and kind of bulky. My 4-16x44 is still my favorite, 3-9x32 is the runner up.
Eventually I will get a hawke, but it'll be their higher end offerings. Had an eclipse and it was heavy and the illuminated reticle was a joke on even the highest setting.

You do some really cool work with the Krals! If you ever want to do a writeup on that mini bullpup you did, I'd love to take a look at making one for my wife.

Pretty simple, you just gotta buy 2 or 3 guns to make one out of and have a bunch of parts scattered everywhere!
Really though, you need an np03 and a breaker. Swap tube and barrel on to the breaker and cut the stock down for the length of the tube. I cut 1.5" off the butt as well to get it as compact as I could.
You could run the breaker shroud and tube on the np03 after, just need another short barrel if you want baffles vs a moderator at the end of a 20" barrel.
Best option is wait til they pop up cheap in the classifieds or refurb on PA. Can make one for $300-$500, depending where you get them both.

That Kral carbine is sweet! 
Just added another to the list today of my squirrel getters !
Notos is no slouch with some old stock 16 grain JSBs. Just keeps impressing me the more I shoot it!

There have been a lot of adjustments that I've had to make since moving from a rural town in Utah to just outside Chicago. One of those adjustments is how the government handles hunting. After much research, the missus and I have decided it's easier to small game hunt with our airguns in neighboring Indiana vs here in Illinois. We missed this year's small game season, but I've been spending a lot of free time dialing in our airguns so we can get practicing at the range. I can't wait to share pics of the guns from next week's range session!

Do you just need an Indiana hunting license for small game? I know out of state deer tags can get expensive, dunno how it works for the lil critters.

Oh my Illinois is one gun unfriendly state!
Especially in and around Chicago.
Good move hunting surrounding states!
Michigan is now very airgun friendly for hunting too. And small game is open until March 31st.

Yes, need an non-resident license to the tune of $90 each. But at least we can use airguns with LDC's without worry of a power tripping game warden wanting to make a stink about a .22 pellet gun being defined as a firearm.

That is crazy how they treat airguns there. NJ is another one thats bad, like forbidden there. Funny how they have super tough gun laws and yet... do stay safe and I hope you're not in the epicenter of all that nonsense.
