Cricket Shroud
Anyone have a cad drawing or similar on the shroud? In my country the shroud is not legal. Right now the gun looks like something from Men in Black (noisy cricket) http://meninblack.wikia.com/wiki/Noisy_Cricket
– No Shroud just the barrel :horse:

Still the Eddie appears most quiet. But it is hard to judge With your ear against the action. Measured With iPhone dB app it shows 94db on both guns.
Very nice! What is less noise now matador or cricket ?
…and what about to try weihrauch push on silencer?
This LDC i made with some help from a friends Lathe. It´s a little bit short but next version will be perfect. The sound is lika a thick “stooomp” and the impact is way louder.
The first tube contains the baffles i k-design style. Second tube is holding a washer in the middle with drilled holes around the center. I will drill some holes at the second tube endcab (black delrin) to vent the air even more.
Easy to tear apart and clean….
Somehow the Matador is legit with shroud and the cricket not. On matador it is said to proven stability of the barrel (don´t know if its true).
Thank you for your offer to help me but ithink i will try to sort it out via post. If that fails i would be happy to use your service 😀
Is there a known emailadress to the factory/sales rep in cz?
I dont get it…
You have a .25 Matador with a shroud so why not the cricket?
Was it sold to you without shroud? If yes, why not just order one from CZ?
Customs will most probably not know what it is…
I doubt that .25 matador is shooting 10 joules… that would be equal to 110m/s 🙂
Linkan, I assume you are from Sweden, if you cant solve your problem let me know and maybe we can work something out. I often drive to Sweden through CZ and could pick one up and take it with me (as long as you have ordered and paid for it).
Q
Has anyone seen a aftermarket shroud/LDC for a cricket?
I’ve been hoping somebody would come up with one that was serviceable 😉
Nice shooting, here’s a link that shows the internals but there’s no info on spec measurements. I’d put a good air stripper on if your not running a shroud or brake. The threads are 14×1.25

10 Joule setting 40 meters indoor with FX 15.9 pellet (JSB) Bad support but sitting down on a bench with my elbows.
The target to the right bottom is the last i shot before the reg comes off (i blame it 😳 ).

Maybe I can he of help.
I have an R3 long gun .25 cal shooting at 45 ftlbs and a .22 cal standard length cricket shooting at 30 ftlbs. Maybe not a fair comparison but it will give you an idea.
They are both about the same. However, there is a difference and one that I do not like about the cricket. The cricket’s report has a noticeable sharp snap. It sounds like a benjamin with two pumps. A slight “crack”. It is not bad but it bothers me. It bugged me so much, I commissioned Neil Clague to make me a shroud. It will be made from a 16 inch piece of carbon fiber tube. I don’t mine sacrificing length as long as it get rid of that annoying snap. I will be using the longer shroud for backyard sniping and the shorter factory shroud for hunting in close quarters unless I need to rely on silence. Then, I will leave the longer shroud one the cricket.
This is all dependent on the aftermarket shroud reducing the report. I prefer a “poooof” sound. I don’t want to spook the neighbors. If I do, my shooting opportunities will be greatly reduced. Don’t want that 🙁
I’m confident the shroud will be effective. Just adding volume up front does wonders. Look at how FX shrouds work. An air stripper at the muzzle and no baffles. I had a FX Indy with 5 inches of dead space ahead of the muzzle and it was surprisingly quiet. It was shooting hotter than my cricket too. I remember the Indy spitting out 15.9s at 930 versus the cricket at 890 fps.
I’ll post pics as soon as I get it from Neil.
