Sub $600 dollar gun picture thread

It’s a Jumbo. I built that gun a couple years ago and had a topic about it on this forum. I think I made the barrel 15.5 inches but don’t hold me to it. Too many guns and builds to remember all details.
Your jumbo build inspired me to get one and go down the Kral rabbit hole.

5 and counting...

This is an awesome thread with nice guns. I became a fan of lower cost PCPs recently and the Krals have become my favorite. Everyone has better pics of their PCPs than me so I wanted to contribute a target pic instead.

20 shots, 25 meter bench target @ 25 meters with my Kral Puncher S (I like wood stocks better but my frugality got the best of me) and JSB 15.89. The only work done is the hammer spring was replaced with a shorter and heavier spring.

Another vote for the Bam50. Love the Career rifles, did have the .58 707II, Fire 201 9mm & Ultra. The .20 carbine is great. All under $600. The Ban un $600 even after LW barrel & shroud.
Mike Melick had some old stock (BigEd) NIB B50's w/fresh seals for $150 recently, might still have some?

Who is this Mike Mellick guy?!?!?
 
Well, I showed my Akela on this thread… so my Cayden got a bit jealous…

Cayden was $450 on a Father’s Day sale - bought direct from Crosman.

Stripped the stock and refinished in just Tru-Oil. You can see the ”Before vs. After” in the pics.

She is a shooter and loves the 15g H&N Baracudas @ 875-880fps. Hammer spring is cut to exactly 2.8”

Caydens have a longer barrel than the Akelas and Kratos - it would be a very long rifle to carry in the field, but shoulders nicely.

I was all JK and stuff. He was one of the go to guys for all the shanghai air guns and the like. Dunno if he's still in the game these days.

That's air gun blasphemy!
