Condinsation Build Up on the Shroud

Vulcan was getting Condensation build up on the shroud today as I was bang out magazines quickly. I love this side action bolt a few hundred more shots through it and it will be like butter. It indexed like a charm not one problem. The trigger is very nice and crisp. The gun is as accurate as all my Bull pups a ragged hole. I couldn’t tell the differences between my cricket, Edgun and Vulcan they were all very accurate. This Vulcan is louder then my Cricket but then again the Vulcan is pushing more air. The Cricket is pushing 18.1 gr pellets down range at 820 the Vulcan is pushing 18.1 gr pellets down range at 918. The twang in the Vulcan is loud and a bit annoying the Cricket has very little hammer slap at least my gun. The hammer slap or spring movement is only thing I don’t like about this gun and I could live with it because no one else but me hears it.

Btw Oak my crickets shoots jsb 18.1 grain at 905 so its really slapping the hammer good. I guess you will have more of a difference between the two guns.

My gun shoots between 820-830 with 18.1gr from the get go I wonder if WWAG tuned it down for me.

When I got my cricket couple years ago it was shooting the same speed. Some older regs have less washers and hence the lower velocity. I guess the 16 gainers would give you more speed and flatter trajectory

Oak set both guns (cricket/vulcan) at same or similar speed and test it. Try to shoot in same time “same speed” at same distance 🙂

I am so HaPpY with me Cricket I would hate to go screwin with the Hammer spring tension.

Oak the sound from hammer spring is slowing down for me. I have 350 shots
Through it and it does simmer down. Bolt action is getting smoother too. Either I’m getting used to it but the sound of the spring is not as intense as it was from the start. The 22 cricket has quite the hammer slap to it too. It’s all most a wash shooting both guns from the truck. You see the hammer slap get captured in the cap so its more pronounced.
