Kral Puncher NP-02

[danster]

ordered one of these in.22 from McAvoy guns just waiting for them to get some back in stock. I know its a never ending question but what mount/scope combo are people using? going to be putting a Weihrauch mod on it (about £48 from BAR)
Will JSB heavies be the pellet of choice in a .22 aswell?
Hopefully it will be here this week.

hello, am thinking to get one in .177, has anyone found major faults where they had to send back or just the usual for a rifle that is made on a budget, cheers

I had a bad one ,, trigger was horrendous,, I also had a couple of leaks ,there’s a pipe linking the bottle which had some sort of nut as a fitting I had to have a complete new tube made to stop it leaking ,when it was working apart from the trigger it was reasonably accurate with jsb exact heavies in 177 also the bottle at the rear is used as a stock but it’s quite long and I found it too long for me when I put a jacket on,personally I wouldn’t buy another one

Yes there is, of course, far better pcp rifles on the market but a multi shot with two magazines? (extra magz - £30.) Instantly adjustable power? Hard case? Threaded for silencer? Large shot capacity? For less than £300?

The trigger is adjustable and while I agree quality varies, the trigger on my .177 isn't as good as on my .22, its still passable. I dont find the reach to pull that bad personally but some in my club have had to use step back mounts.

Yes there IS better pcp but better value?

Mine's crap

Arrived last weekend but today was the first opportunity I had to try it out.

At the same range my R-10 is making same hole groups the NP-02 is grouping about 2" (at 20 yds) in calm winds rested on a bean bag.

I've cleaned the bore, tried Bis Mags, 3 sizes of JSB Exacts, AA Field, Falcon Accuracy plus, H&N and more and it shotguns. With and without moderator.

I'm getting horizontal stringing. The crown looks OK to me.

Gutted.

My .177 did this indoor, indoor, rested at 30 yards. Silencer, JSB Exacts straight out of the tin. Nowt brilliant but I feel passable.

I take that back:

Another 50 or so pellets and another bore clean and it's shooting nicely with Bisley Magnums and JSBs.

Happy boy, I'm growing rather fond of it

I would remind current and future Kral purchasers that the barrels do require some serious cleaning when new. This will far improve the accuracy out of the box.
