The folks here give great support and share their experience with enthusiasts like me (more enthusiastic than skilled) … and then tcmalker comes over very brash and full of himself – and doesn’t even accept an offer to get out of the mess he talked himself into.

Tcmalker, these are all good guys – you…Read more

Thanks so much Ernest, I will be trying this today.

I got my gun from Dima, before WILDWEST was selling them.

I am guessing that the air could be leaking through the hole that is on the regulator between the o-rings. And from there it would go out of the tell-tale hole.

I just have no way to test this???

Uhhh crap …I am worried about taking that thing apart. Let me look at…Read more

I saw a similar note on the kalibrgun web site, but I don’t think it applies to my leak.

I haven’t installed the breech … so I just have the air tube separate without anything pressing on the valve.

The leak is very large, and is coming out of the 2nd tell-tale hole, before the valve (I believe). It qppears it must be…Read more

This is a very fast leak, it won’t allow me to fill the tube (with a hill hand-pump).

It leaks from the 2nd tell-tale hole, away from the breech. I believe this is the hole between the high pressure side and the regulated air side.

I followed Ernest…Read more

I really appreciate the o-rings you sent.
Hopefully I’ll get to return the favor.

I ran out of time so I didn’t shoot enough to see a POI drop – but I must have shot at least 60 shots (if not more) without a refill. Baed on that, I agree with the hypothesis that I probably had over-filled…Read more

Yes, I think I pumped it up too much, not to 3,000 but definitely over 2,600.

Ø I will hook it up to my pump tomorrow … and keep it at < 2,500.
Ø I will leave the hammer & spring stock.
Ø I will replace the breech o-rings.
Ø I’ll measure the tophat gap.

I did actually clean the sprin…Read more

So, I have a .22 Talon SS with a 12″ barrel. I purchased a used 24″ barrel and cut it down to 19″, threaded it and added a used Clague moderator and installed it. I pumped up my tank and tried it out.

My gun’s power dramatically dropped – shot at about 400fps (estimate because I don’t currently have acc…Read more

I really appreciate the input.

Summary > Use the 18″ barrel with JSB 18.1 and the Talon valve.

I get my 18″ barrel back next week so I’ll see what I can do with the JSB 18.1’s, speed and accuracy.

FYI … my whole motivation was to flatten out the trajectory (because I suck at estimating distances) and to use a h…Read more

It’s very light and pointable.

I believe the .25 Cricket is louder, but everything is relative.

My .22 Cricket is much quieter than my .22 Talon SS (with the R&L shroud plus extra bafles and a vented bushing).…Read more

If you’re thinking of a Cricket … I love mine (.22 standard)!

I know it is not a fair comparison, but compared to my Talon SS .22 with shroud, the Cricket is a scalpal compared to a bowie knife.

It is amazing (size / pintability, quietness, and the trigger is perfect for me). The documentation doesn’t do it justice.

I had to install the Windows and Java security upgrades, and also updated my Malwarebytes Anti-malware (all free).

Now, no more issues for the last couple weeks.

It definitely came through this site though.

My tendency was to just buy a smaller scope, and purposely try and get low rings to keep the scope as close to the barrel as possible.

What I’ll do instead is wait for my Cricket (due this weerk) and try my Airforce 4-16X50 on it first … judge the size and height for cheek weld, and then decide if I need a smaller…Read more
