Kral Puncher NP-02

[phil384]

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.

Another tip to aid accuracy is to remove the 'O' ring in the front barrel support giving it more clearance to float. A 10 minute job. Its just a case of pulling the filler cover off, slackening two Allen screws and easing the bracket over the cover O rings. I removed the recessed O ring and relieved the hole slightly. It improved the accuracy of mine and a fellow club member did the same to his and we both saw an improvement in accuracy.
