I was torn between a Kral and the smk p10, both have plus and minus, friend at club had problem with his Kral that needed returning and a nice smk came up on here so the smk won. Think both for the money is a great way to scratch the bull pup itch as long as you get a good one, which I did, though many don't!! The Kral is the better looking by far and would have one if I knew it was a good one.
Will have it on the range tomorrow , so it'll either be this seasons truck gun or tomorrow door stop
On the range today and gave it a good run. I gave it a good barrel clean before hand as advised.
I tried about ten different pellets again and most of them grouped like a shotgun at 32 yards, truly awful . I took the silencer off and the groups tightened up a bit but still not great.
Finally I tried single shot and finally it started to print some decent groups, one holers in a lot of cases.
I still had a few drop here and there though. The shot spread on the chrono was a 30 fps spread which isn't great but not horrendous.
The trigger still needs adjusting because I think this is affecting accuracy too.
All in all I think I will take it back to the shop next week because it won't group with the mags and the trigger is truly shit.
A real shame because the size and function are all great but if a multi shot rifle won't group what's the point.
Sorry to hear this vey disappointing.
The rfd is going to send it back to the manufacturer next week so we'll what happens .
After doing a bit of digging it seems as the barrels are an issue and its pot luck if you get a good one or not. I spoke with a one of the big airgun shops and they have stopped stocking these rifles. Turns out that the first few were really good then they were having 4 out of 5 returned .
I also read that these barrels aren't choked which is a worry but worse still some barrels have been turned out with rifling missing or rough in places.
Real shame because we know our airguns in the uk and Kral won't last if they continue doing this.
I also have the .177 Kral bullpup and I'm having the same problems as you. If you do manage to adjust the trigger I would be interested to know how as there seems only to be a singe Allen screw which didn't seem to do anything. Regarding accuracy, I have cleaned the barrel several times but to date have only tried JSB Exact 8.44gr doing an average of 787fps with a 6fps spread over 14 shots - no problem with that. Being of a certain age outside temperatures are prohibiting further testing. I have been in contact with Dave Robinson at Range Right who tells me that they have been re-crowning the barrels on some rifles which has helped accuracy although the crown on mine looks OK. However it only needs to be a fraction out of true to cause the shot spread. I too have the single shot tray to try.
I notice we are only 5 miles apart.
Cheers, Phil
