Been starting the review today on the Cricket Mini Carbine.

Just done some stripping down.

1. The barrel is now a totally free floating barrel and is about 3 inches shorter.
2. The shroud is a full barrel length shroud instead of the last 1/3 shroud.
3. The air tank appears to be the same diameter, but 3 inches shorter.
4. The Wooden Stock Mini Carbine 2017 I have is 2 inches longer than the older carbine I have.
5. Fill pressure is 300 bar stamped on the block.
6. The safety is simply a metal sliding locking bar and is resetable and non auto.

My V1 review can be seen here with other videos on the rifle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4vx8z9Nupw

In the V2 Kalibrgun Cricket Mini Carbine, I will compare the new with the old.

Not that I have heard or seen in the trade shows. It is a monte carlo type stock with cut outs and adjustable cheek / butt plates. Apparently Kalibrgun will do the stock in many coloured patterns, but I can't confirm that either.

the mini carabine is nothing new really. a non english review is here http://alexxxus.cz/Kalibrgun-KBG-Min...e-Praha-Gun-cz or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaZEwg2O2tk
was it something like 10months ago.



the mini carabine looks nice but i would still prefer the colibri, that one got delayed because of this one i am lead to believe.

the US stock options are awsome.

Does it group tighter than your cricket bullpup? Should do.

It's exactly same as a cricket apart from the stock . much prefer the mk1 carbine with the skele stock tbh jst looks like cost cutting to me like they did with the cricket wst . why stop the most desirable sort after stocks ??? Kalibrgun are mental as a company bit like Theoben no new relying on the same action desighn stop production of the most popular stuff they need to change with the times as others are doing or will be left behind just like Theoben

Underneath there are quite a few changes. The whole barrel / Supports / Shroud and Air Tube has been re-configured. Quite a lot more changes in a new rifle compared to a lot of the other big companies out there.

Figure of speech / license.
I refer to the older cricket linked as the Version 1 of the cricket carbine (ok it is not a mini and official is not V1 mini).
My older one in the video is the Carbine version. The newer one 2017 is the official MINI carbine.
