Official Kalibr dealer in US
We are pleased to announce that we have the first shipment of Crickets left the Czeck republic.
The only reason we did not make any early announcements is because we wanted to make sure the actual shipment is dispatched our way.
We hate making early announcements and then having to explain why it keeps delayed.
The first shipment is in .22 caliber with 14-shot mags. Only Walnut stocks both regular and bulldog (with extra mags slots) styles.
We are getting spare magazines and filling probes as well.
If you have any further questions please free to contact.
My name is Dima you can email me at kalibrgunusa@gmail.com
The cost is $1950 shipped UPS ground from Indiana.

Well, I am not surprised. I guess we have all seen that the Cricket probe was meant for the hose end only…… 😉
What I find a bit strange is that they have not thougt about this before. All other airgun manufacturers supply a fillprobe with a wider nut so that a Foster coupling can be accomodated without problems….
My recommendation for US/European markets is to supply a suitable Foster coupling with the all guns. Does not cost a lot, – and would give the end user the benefit of the choice……. 😉
Cheers from Oslo 😀
He said that the probe which comes with the gun is not made for the quick disconnect, rather for hose end. There is something special for the quick – what exactly he’d tell us later.
– and what did they say ???? 🙄
Cheers from me in Oslo 😀
It may be useful for new owners to look through this video:

Hey Dima thanks for the quick reply and customer service. 😀
One guy posted I was crying about the air seal. We are not all old hands at this PCP game and up front information would be good. I appreciate your effort on this matter… 😀 thanks…..
I’m saving my air till my Pyrmydair adapter gets here so shoot very little.
I open my back door, lean against it and put another pellet in a 5/8 black dimond at 38 yds….. 😀 😀 😀 This rifle is amazing right out of the box.
Every other manufacture in the air gun world that uses a fill probe has address this issue with fill probe bases with adequate surface area for a proper seal. Kalibr needs to get this corrected.
Yes it I can get this fixed by ording a foster fill probe adapter with a special seal in the bottom of the adapter, which I have on order. My point is one should not have to jump through hoops to fill your high dollar air rifle like this (order special parts). OR at least let people who order your rifles know what they need to get and have on hand to fill your rifles with air when it arrives at their door… 😳
I really like my little Cricket and I would really be happy if I could of put air in it to shoot it.. 😯 This needs to be addressed by you guys NOW…
In the sack of o-rings and the fill probe was included a black threaded piece. This appears to be some sort of metering rod. What is it and where does it go ❓
Again I an very satisfied with all parts of my Cricket except the air filling issue.

The black threaded piece is for simplified airgun assembly – it temporarily attaches the barreal to Weaver assembly. I already asked the manufacturer about the probe.
Got a pick of the metering rod ❓
😥 Dima I have an issue with my Cricket fill probe. The base of the fill probe (nut portion) is so small I can not get a standard foster adaprte and standard foster gasket to work because of the small surface area of the fill probe.

😳 Hey Zocoloco you’re our international “bug guy” I was refering to state side “bug guys” 🙄 Had to think of that pretty fast. Truth be known you should be getting a commission from Kalibr for all gun sales here in the USA. With out your great write up the Cricket/Kalibr would just be some obscure Russian BB gun. You have helped them as much as Ted (Ted’s Hold Over video’s) put Edguns on the map here in the USA. Heck maybe they should send you a free new model rifle (25 caliber) just to say thanks….. 😯 😎
Have fun Christmas shopping today with the X today… My wife and I finished ours up yesterday, feels good to have it over…. 😀 Man Christmas shopping with the x-wife, hell I find it damn hard to do with the woman I love 😯 😆
So I am not around anymore, – is that it ???? 😉
Good to know. I’ll tell my ex-wife today. We’re due to go shopping for X-mas gifts for the kids today. Now she can do that on her own……… 😆 😆 😆
Looks like the Crickets are getting out of the box,,,, 😆 Sounds like bigscott and F&D got the same treatment from Dima I did. Seems to be a really good guy and good to do business with.
Hey HOOT if this thing keeps shooting like it has started out I’m not messing with it other than filling with air and shooting. The old “if it ant broke don’t fix it” thingie…. 😯 I do plan to run all the different pellets I can find in it and see what it likes….then aahhh maybe just a little twiking here and there. Maybe us Cricket guys can come up our own “OLD GOAT” to do magic on them 😀
Good not to be the only “bug guy” around. welcome to the game guys.
Well, on Friday I took delivery of couple ladybugs… I mean Crickets =)
Rifle is absolutely beautifully built. Fit, Finish and Function is Perfect.
Nothing needs adjustment. Shoots 850fps with 18gr JSBs.
Fill speed a bit slow. I first thought I had a problem with blockage or something as it was not filling up right away. It just needs a few moments to get going. (vs Matador where the fillup can be quiet fast)
It was delivered well packed. Double boxed. No problems there!
Dima was very helpful and I would definitely do business with him again!
I suspect some owners will be tempted to modify the Cricket. Can’t say for sure, but it is a suspicion I harbor!
H 😯 😯 T
I want to sleep with Lelya this Christmas, and run my hot little fingers over her accessories! Please Santa!!!
WOHO, exciting times lie ahead. I hope this board gets slammed with reviews over the next few weeks. Fun times lie ahead not just for the Cricket owners but for those who are on the fence on this one.
