Hi SpinJ,
Great string!! I’m also seeing the same tight velocity spread on my cricket. However, the reg is set lower. My gun is shooting 15.9 jsbs at an average of 895 fps. Still consistent though. Adjust the hammer spring does little. I have Steve’s adjuster on mine and the major benefit is in the firing behavior. The guide help eliminate hammer spring twang.

What makes it all the more remarkable is the fact that the pellets were taken straight from the tin. 😯 When obtaining that shot string, all 57 pellets went into the hole which the first pellet made. This is at a distance of 20 yards, though. 😆
Dang that is impressive.
The standard .22 as it is a good melding of many attributes. Small size,quiet,high shot count, accuracy, and power.

Hey meech! It’s great to hear that your Cricket is getting tight velocity strings too. The hammer spring is not designed to adjust velocity. To do so, you need to adjust the regulator. The hammer spring knob is only used for fine tweaking.
I also got the aluminum knob that I ordered from Steve at TAG (photo below). I actually got it almost a couple of weeks ago. I just didn’t install it onto the gun yet. Thanks Steve! By the way, Steve told me that he is going to be selling custom stocks for the Crickets soon. He also told me that he will sell the cheekpiece separately if the customer wants. NICE! 😎
Anyway, back to the knob, the black cover is the old cocking knob cover that was on my spare Condor breech knob. I purposely put it on so that the black color matches the color scheme of the Cricket. It fits perfectly and the open end of the cover cuts off exactly at the last thread. I heated the cover to shrink it a bit before fitting it onto the knurled part of the knob. It now fits very snuggly.
