Neil Clague Shroud
Just wanted to post a note and a few photos of my new Neil Clague air stripper. Neil has been making these 16 inches long for the Cricket but I asked him to make mine 15″ to fit a case I already own. Neil was hesitant to make the shroud shorter when I first contacted him a few months back, but has since made improvements to his baffles, and the 15 inch shroud works great. The hammer spring and pellet hitting the target is all I can hear.
Cheers,
Don

Ehhhhhh……you guys got someone in mind? Does she live close by?
One legged, legally blind and desperate! 😉 👿
Sent from my GT-8000
I heard that’s how you like your women too Hoot. Sir Ville also mention something about one legged if I recall correctly.
My Cricket .25 came in at 8.5lbs stripped of scope and bipod. The stock is heavy duty, and will take a severe beating before anything shows, but it is heavy….period.
Damn you must have some heavy iron cheeks!
No scratches yet…. just a broken cheek rest. The Walnut stock is beautiful! Glad I got it.
Hey Don that was me 🙂 I said I wouldn’t go synthetic based on members who have them and said it was awkward at the front grip, hard to shoot free hand and a bit heavier than the other versions. Are you scratching up your gun?
Secoda – don’t have a decibel meter. The gun is just so much quieter. Amazing. As for the cheek piece… I think it was Donny that said he would buy a synthetic stock due to being clumsy… I should have gone synthetic:)
Mine is the standard .22 and went from 27 inches to 30.5…. I think…
Hi Donny,
I have the standard model. It’s 27 inches with the factory shroud and 32 inches with the NC shroud.

Don and Gabe, are those Standard Crickets you guys have?
Very nice. I have one of his on a AA S510C. I would be curious as to the decibel drop is. Was it about $100? What happened to your cheek piece?
I think I would like the front cap anodized to match the barrel, etc. on the next one. I guess it matches the trigger but my wife says it clashes on colors. 🙄
Very nice.
Hey, that looks like mine 😉
Mine is 16 inches though. Neil is making me another shroud just like the one I have on my cricket except it will be a two piece unit. The shroud section will be 11 inches long including the threaded end piece and the extension will be 7 inches. When I don’t need absolute silence, the extension will stay off. When I need silence, the extension will be on.
