Dr. Steele’s Cricket finds a new owner this evening
Well, I’m gonna give that favorite little Edgun shorty some compact company as I got a hold of Steve again this evening and was able to purchase a special little used Cricket Compact Skeleton Stock in .22 just as I was wanting.
I feel fortunate in that this is a used gun with some nice tuning work from Ernest and has both the original and a N.C. moderator with an optional extension and was the gun previously belonging to the late Dr. Steel here on our forum. I have to say I am a bit sentimental and would much rather have this gun than a new one, it will always seem special to me. Rest in Peace brother, your gun will be in caring hands, enjoyed as you would have wanted and well kept in pristine condition and I will be honored to look after it for you.
Steve is as nice and good to deal with as everyone says !! Two thumbs up !!

I communicated with him mostly through PM. If I recall correctly I am not sure if he had the opportunity to spend much time with it before his passing. The gun was bought then shipped directly to Ernest to Tune then to Neil for the LDC. During this time he purchased the compressor and was getting ready to do a review.
What a great way to pay your respect to Dr Steele. His Cricket couldn’t be in better hands!
I don’t remember seeing a picture of his Cricket. Cool purchase.
Absolutely Donny, it will be a prized possession for me. I will show it off as any new air gun owner would when it arrives. I actually thought Shanu might have shown pictures in the past and I wanted to find some but was unable. Any ideas ??

I was unable to find posts with him making reference to it, thought it might have dated the purchase. Any ideas ??
Great purchase Doug, RIP Shanu! Could we get a picture when you get a chance. I know he loved that thing and was excited to have Ernest tune it.

It would make no difference to me if it was shot a little or none but I hope he got to enjoy it before he passed, I would really like to know. I’m sure it will come up.
