Cricket WST .25 is in da House !
I finally received the Cricket so i decided to take a bad picture to show my remarkable photographic skills. I managed to sneak on it while it was doing the dishes. It doesn´t deliver the Bacon like Manny´s gun but it makes mean Pepper Steak AND fills the Dishwasher afterwards. I believe it´s a “she” judging by the way it moves around in the Kitchen. I´m a name her Barbara …
More & better pics to come tomorrow. I´ll be test shooting the Bugger tomorrow.

Thanks! My wife is Austrian so she’s a bit weird -like a little female Hitler: Needs a fancy uniform for everything …[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Loud & Obnoxious is good ! Kinda reminds me of myself …
And if you haven´t just bought a Bobcat then you have no ugly gun. The purple overcast in one of your pics is questionable though … 😆

Yeah, you guys get all them Fancy, polite, pretty guns.
I’ll get the Ugly, unrefined, Obnoxiusly loud Hammers 😀
But bird meat is supposed to be good,low-fat and healthy alternative.
BTW – If the Sparrows around your feeder look like that one there´s no wonder you can hit them from 75 yrd distance. Even H 😯 😯 T could do it although he´s more of a Duck man …
I beg your pardon

Bowhunting again ?? You lucky bastard … BTW – You can´t get fat by eating Sparrows. Or can you ??
LOL Ok – many a sparrow has been fileted and roasted in this kitchen. Actually, my wife and daughter are the only cooks and they only cook on the weekends. 😯
I am in the dining room and the breakfast hexagon room is on the other side of the kitchen – a full 1/4 of the house is dedicated to feeding our faces. Did I mention how fat we are? 😯
Its nearly time to go deer hunting again….
Right! It was Steve i bought it from. Long time ago when i ordered the first Cricket that never came … 👿
The KalibrGun factory doesn’t touch the CZ barrels other than to assemble them so cleaning is the first thing I always do with these guns. There are liable to be some metal shavings in them.
When i first got it i did the same thing i always do with every gun and took it apart for inspection. It´s actually quite nicely build piece – very similar to EdGun in the regard it´s easy to service and so. I lubed the trigger mechanism,cleaned the barrel (never seen dirtier barrel on any new rifle. The bore was filled with some greasy shit and it took 16 patches and a handful of VFG felts to get it clean) , changed that cheesy factory HTS to a nice aluminium screw that can be adjusted withou tools and adjusted the trigger somewhat. I also mounted an ugly,brown Weaver rail under the forestock (a Magpul knock-off from Greenbase,of course 😀 ) while i wait the black one to arrive so i could mount one of my several Atlas knock-offs on it.
I like the build quality so far but i did have a smallish issue with the action screw and its mounting hole that just didn´t line up correctly with the threaded part in the action. Nothing a new stainless steel screw,cleaning of threads with a threading tool,grease and some fancy moves with a Dremel couldn´t cure although that should´ve been done correctly at the factory QC. Those damned Czechs … 🙄
Anyway – i like it so far and it sure feels more lady-like,more refined than the EdGun with its Russian Bear ruggedness – which i very much like, BTW. Thus i named my EdGun Rasputin after the infamous Russian womanizer who was hard to kill.
Anyway – tomorrow i´ll head to the range and i took a day off for that. Crow hunt will follow in the evening.
I´ll test JSB Kings with different velocities for accuracy (feel free to guide me to the right direction) and i also have a tin of Benjamins to try out so tomorrow should turn out like a day filled with fun! :7:
I´m confident you went the right way by choosing the EdGun. No question there.
I always take the guns apart – i don´t trust the factories to care about the longevity and accuracy of my rifles as much as i do. When i was still racing MX i always took my new bikes in atoms when i received them. I don´t trust some zit-faced teenagers who work after school at the dealer (for minimum wage) and assemble bikes to do it right . That was a chore since i went thru several bikes every season …
I like tinkering with bikes,cars,guns and so on. I DON`T like tinkering with electronics though since i don´t know them – a computer is a work of Satan to me as is them iPhone´s and Android´s.
We don’t need no stinkin’ ovens. We are airgun hunters! My wife’s kitchen is a mess or I would throw a picture up to conquer this thread too. 😆
What do i need several sinks for ? We use dishwashers here. The Kitchen is actually quite big, as seen in this brochure .. 
This leads to your next question: “Where the hell is the owen?” and the answer is “waiting for new one – thus the hole beside the Fridge” …
Steve was selling them from Wild West.

Sir Ville,
Where did you find your nice aluminum screw that you used to replace the factory HTS one? I like that idea..
I don´t remember the name of the place but it was actually from USA. I´ll dig up the info from PayPal and get back to you. Could´ve been a guy from Wild West AG ?? I need to check…
