Look so crazy tutorial how to service (malfunctioning) cricket 🙄 How to not do it !!! Look how he align the barrel :rofl: with allen key 🙄 I have doubt about accuracy this rifle. 😆

That is what u get when start fuxing around!!!
Good idea! The barrel alignment / over torque is probably the culprit in 9 out of 10 cases regarding spread and change in POI. Many put the blame on clipping or such …

I know Ville I just want to know Ernest tutorial and I think it will be helpful to another people too 😉
You take the forward screw out of the scope rail…. closest to the muzzle end. top side of the rail … you then screw in the alignment screw. the barrel has a divot in it. that is inline with you port. and it lines it up.
Gotcha, makes sense, thanks

Dumb question: how is the little barrel alignment screw used? I just don’t see how/where it can be screwed in to help at all. Please enlighten me.
And Ernest, a video would be a fantastic aid for disassembly/reassembly. Cheers
I´ve said this all along, although mostly in the KalibrGun-forum : The barrel alignment is crucial and if overtightened you can easily end up with a bend barrel. I never thought about the AT having an effect on the POI but now it seems like a no-brainer – even for a one with my Brain …
Ernest big thanks for great tutorial. May be in the future you would prepare tutorial video – it will be very very useful with great information value. Thanks 😉
Air tube has no air:
In reassembly install barrel alignment pin lightly seated ( DONT over tighten) on the barrel indent, install the breech over barrel, aligned the air tube angle flat with the two set screw on the breech–slightly rotate a-tube left to right while slowly tightening the set screw closest to the trigger first, it seat on a flat surface on the firing valve when properly aligned, the A-tube will have less and less movement left to right till set screw is fully seated, tighten set screw then tighten the 2nd set screw. then install stock aligned stock screw and lightly tighten. fill air tube, while filling loosen barrel alignment screw one turn, when at 160b to 190b begin tightening the barrel cap screw in this order:
A T-handle Allen wrench must be use to prevent over torqueing the cap screws:
insure all cap screw are slightly tighten down to the shoulder:
cap screw label in this order: A – B—————-C – D
1: A to D only 1/4 rotation
2: B to C only little over 1/4 to 1/2 turn
3: A to D less then 1/4 turn
4: B to C less then 1/4 turn
repeat process till cap screw no longer rotate using a T- Handle——> when handle of the t-wrench start to rotate and cap screw no longer rotate STOP!!!!!
remove barrel alignment screw, reinstall cap screw.
I’m sure everybody has there own way of doing thing but this is a safe way for beginners:
When I was a QA in the US submarines, we had a bible in torqueing a circler bolt pattern of 50 cap screws—each cap screw has a # in a star pattern and all has a starting and a finial torque value.
so just don’t tighten screws——> there’s a procedure for that!
Why tighten screws at 160B??
A: the air tube is subject to pressure and temp while being filled —- it will flex, the key here is to let the tube flex on it own without added restrictions attach, so less poi shifting when at a stable state!—> you my get POI shift at 300B. if you want to by technical there’s a sweet spot in fill pressure of the air tube! for me I tighten the cap screws mid point of my fill range 230b to 150B :ugeekn:
I would advice you to re-torque the barrel screws from winter shooting condition to summer temp! the scope and mounting rail don’t flex true with the air tube!
Ernest do you have some special practice how and which order you tighten four screws which holding barrel and air cylinder? I´m asking when you often assemble/disassemble many crickets did you remark some changes with pressure in air cylinder to change the POI due to over tighten or wrong practice tighten moment of those four screws ? thx
foam sticky sheet, put a pin hole on the reg vent. love the feel of rubber foam. don’t know if it reduce the mechanical noise. Yes that’s NC CF shroud.
Sweet looking rifle, is that a foam wrapping where the Cheek piece would good. Clever thinking, is that a NC Shroud?
same question here, also does covering the regulator “vent” holes affect anything?

Great video but it will be greater with english subtitle
