    Update....
    The. 22 kral synthetic stocked breaker has arrived. I must say that I'm well impressed by the way it feels in the hands and shoulder. Weight distribution is nice and it feels well made. Cocking action appears smooth, finish is good.

    So far, so good. It'll be a couple of days before I can shoot it.

    So I shot it today...
    With air arms 5.51 field. Trigger was industrially heavy from the box but I still manged this (can't figure out how to add a file??? It's as big as my nail on my pointing finger) group at 23yard in blustery conditions.

    Very happy with it.

    My only gripe is the hammer spring graunchy and I can see that even at springs eased, the spring is twisted like a snake. Whilst sorting the trigger, I considered trying G on of my other (many) springs but the hammer retaining cap won't budge. Shame really because a nicer spring with guides and slip discs would really finish it off. The trigger is now set nicely. I know the reason that bullpup triggers will never feel match grade but this one can be set up very well. Nice and predictable.

    If kral had got this version onto the market in the first place, many more of us would have a kral, I can assure you. Range right and the Rfd took their time to get it sorted but in the end, it was worth it. Thank you range right. I am now a happy customer.

    Ps if anyone does know how to get into the spring, drop me a pm.

    Glad it's a happy ending finally! Mine .22 prefers super field 5.51 to jsb, 10shot group at 25yard covered by a 5pence is the norm. Don't try turning the back screw there's a helicoil anti tamper stopping it from turning. I've had mine removed on both breakers with top hats fitted to the hammer Spring. I'm now torn with having to sell one to fund a new purchase.

    Who helped you remove the screw mate. That factory spring isn't a good un.

    I'd like to say a massive thank you to the people on here who took the time to help me. A happy ending indeed, but not for the rats.

    So the final update is this:

    I was able to safely remove the At and replace the hammer spring which appeared to be the shock spring taken from a mk4 Ford cortina.

    The rifle is now much smoother to cock and less of a twang when fired. 11.3ftlb with AA field. I decided to give the barrel a gentle polish with autosol for a smoother bore.

    35 yards and AA field fit into a 10p but the most interest G thing so far is: so do webley verminpel. Even at 35 yards. Don't ask me how, I don't know how a flat head does that at 35 yards. Non of my rapids or my daystate will. I took it out on the rats tonight, using the verminpel and dropped only one shot which I pulled in a rush.

    I've gone from happy to thrilled with this little rifle.

    Edit: anyone buying a breaker, get extra high mounts. If not your cheeks is forced into the cheek rest a little to get correct eye relief. I removed the plastic rest and have no issues
