My personal favorite Edgun, .22 Short
I don’t hear a lot of mention of the shorts, but for those that have never played with one of these it is just awesome. Truly my favorite air gun, The size of a cricket at 27″, perfectly balanced and just makes me smile every time I pull it up to plink at something or pop a starling out the window. I got the single load breech from Tony so I can have this one both ways in 20 minutes or so for the changeover from R3M to R3. When you carry it at your side, I stick a couple of fingers thru. and grab the angled part of the stock behind the grip and it will carry just about level. J ust too fun… I started to make 3 videos tonight shooting shook up root beer cans with each of the .22, .25, .30 but the differences in result were negligible on video so did not bother posting on YT so no links to share. I like the bigger bores too but my .22’s really get it done 99% of the time.

Ernest: That Leyla is out of place in your collection, sell it to me !!!
You have 7 Crickets now? 😆 Enough to go fishing. 😯
I tried stocking up on them but Pyramyd are out of stock, I’ll buy 30 tins next time.
Hi Peter,
RAW 1000x is a solid platform. If you going to buy it, I recommend call AZ, He is a distributor and also world renown tuner. You will spoiled forever!!

I change the threads on the HW, quieter then the stock shroud, I think the felts makes the differences.
I really want to play with Short Matador. Never had a chance.
But lately I have been thinking about getting a long rifle. That RAW HM1000x looks really good in .25
my compact .177 and .22 are under 25″
I just swap out the probe and barrel take about 5min.
I know you seen the photo, but love looking at it! 
Crickets are shorter and more compact + lighter then Edguns
think steve have more compact, he sent 4 in the last month to be tuned, last one I tuned the member wanted it at 20fpe, so I gave him 21fpe at 130 shots. I’ll check if he has more, his vary busy and tend to forget–like me!
I see you have a HW100 moderator that you have on there? How well does it work? Does it screw on and did you have to do any additional modding to get it to work?
Thanks
Good – I have 5000 of them. 😀
yes, that all I shoot–vary accurate at 880-890fps

If we get another 30 valve stem to break prematurely, I have already sketched up a design that I don’t think will, we’ll make them from unobtainium if necessary… :biggrinn:
Ernest – are you having the best luck with the JSB 10.34s?

Your a bad influence. I ordered up 8 more tins of 10.34s anticipating that a new baby Cricket will be born soon. 🙂 BO says 2-10
