Kral puncher breaker synthetic bullpup

[Mjd7568]

Sorry to hear this vey disappointing.

[Whitester]

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

I'm sorry you've had to return the kral. My club mate gave up with his magazine and uses a single shot loader, his valve went faulty, his power was just over 10fpe. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is! On a up side for budget bullpup, I love my smk shorty accurate upto 50yards, faultless mag, once you get into a system cocking it it works well. Very very well made, titanium cylinder and regulated.

I had the same problem with accuracy on my Kral a while back. Mags kept failing with the spring tensioner coming loose as well. I got rid!

Sounds like your power/ consistency is spot there mate but like you say that doesn't gaurentee accuracy if the barrel is off.

Mines back now having the power turned up and hopefully the barrel sorted.

A mate up at the club reckons he can tune the trigger so will keep you posted but if you are only in prestwood why don't you pop over to wend over rifle club and have a plink.

Whitester we all know you cant hit a barn dooor until you've had 4 coffees and 2 ciggys. Did you tell the guy in the shop that before returning the gun?

Hi Whitester, I'm a member of Wendover Rifle Club the .22LR version, have been since 1980 so have access to the Morris Range. However, If you know someone who can fettle the trigger I would be very interested. As mentioned above this weather has halted the pellet testing in the back garden but it looks like it might be a bit warmer on Sunday. My BSA R10 and Huntsman Regal are very accurate with JSB Exact Heavy so I will try those next. I have yet to try the single shot pellet tray, but a singe shot multi shot rifle is pretty useless. You are probably aware that if you contact Range Right they will send you one FOC. For some unknown reason they sent me two so if you know someone who wants one let me know.

Cheers, Phil

I failed to mention that PD

Kral going back to Range Right again on Monday. For the second time the pellet probe is not retracting fully. Also going to ask for the barrel to be re-crowned to see if it improves accuracy. If it's still not right when it returns it'a going back permanently. It's a shame because as above the power and shot to shot consistency is excellent.

Cheers, Phil
