Updates to the newest batch of Crickets
I received a brand new Cricket .25 WB destined to my friend and it´s of the newest batch, made March 19. 2014. There´s a new, wide clamp scope bridge and the new WB stock (similar to the not yet released .35 stock) has two stock screws too. I took a couple of pics of the new scope bridge and you can see it´s wider and has two extra clamping screws beneath the airtube. All this should aid in more rigid barrel mount where the airtube and it´s pressure doesn´t have as much effect on the POI.
Now the whole Weaver-rail is also detacheable.
I´ll take some pics tomorrow so you can see how it looks complete with the new stock. Definitely an update.

That is cool, can’t wait to see the whole gun with the stock. In your opinion is it an improvement over all?
Yes. Tomorrow. I´ll get to the range with its new owner tomorrow and , as i already said in the first post , i´ll take more pics. I liked the new stock and i especially like the new scope bridge. It´s far sturdier and since there´s also two clamp screws underneath the airtube it should center itself easily and once tightened i quess you can drive a Truck over it without a fear of something moving. Damn it – i just may need to sell my age old WST in favor for one of these … 🙄
Can you take a few pictures of the whole gun? 🙂
Very interesting Sir Ville….. :ugeekn:

Oops – missed that line after the pictures. :butkick:
I have just about worn my .177 Baby Cricket out. I have lost count of how many fills are on the thing at this point. Well over 2300 pellets. :rofl: Kind of glad I bought 15,000 10.34 JSBs now. I think Ernest and I have bought Pyramyd out for the last few months. 😯 For small pests the .177 kills everything the .22 does at 900 fps but quieter and cheaper. I still may get those NC CF shrouds to quiet it down even more. It’s real fun. At night, though, my 30 cal Edgun takes over for the big stuff and it is very quiet as well considering the horse power. 😉
