Interesting.

What made me question this one is 1) it didn’t look right and 2) at around the 850 fps mark, the groupings were over 1/2″ @ 30 yds w/ JSB pellets, which is pretty unusual for a CZ barrel. He had to turn the gun down to the low 700’s w/ JSB 18’s to get 1 hole groups. Haven’t seen any…Read more

Is it better materials or what? What is it made out of?

Can yours be installed on either side?

What’s the price on yours USD?

Not quite a bullpup at 38″, but it’s shorter than my Cricket .25 w/an LDC.

I remember seeing and 1-off custom build he did – a .25 compact cricket that was for sale not too long ago. Pretty sure the guy had it listed at like $1400 or something.

Thanks for the reply!!! I will test shot count when I get my tank bank from hydro and can fill to 240 bar.

I just wanted to clarify before I go and start screwing things up lol! I wouldn’t mind it shooting a bit hotter (as long as I can get it to group well), but it looks like it has the old style HST screw. I may look in to updating…Read more

Top notch quality and he’s a super nice guy.

I have a Vulcan .25 that came with the TGAG shroud, but I also had a Donny shroud off my Cricket. Between the two, Donny’s shroud is hands down quieter.

It’s a first generation that he put some money into via Ernest in an attempt to quiet it down including dropping fps down to the 880’s, de-ping of the rear spring, regulator efficiency tuning, and the shroud was upgraded with Colibri style baffles. However, according to him, even with the TGAG…Read more

And since I mainly use mine for whacking squirrels and not bench rest, the Vulcan makes sense. And the accuracy is equal from what I’ve seen. Only downsides that I see are two less shots per mag and less total shots before refilling. I think I can get over that though.

Fit and finish is absolutely exceptional! It is now very quiet, especially for a 50 ft lb gun. Yes, you still hear some air, but its a .25 after all. Very satisfied!

If I can find a used Talon Tunes 9″ shroud for cheap enough, I will try that as I have heard it does amazing things.

Even though I’m not the original purchaser, Doug has offered to repair the stock. He’s going to drill through the stock and press in a stainless rod, glue it, and refinish the entire stock for $25, including shipping back to me.

In my book, that’s awesome customer service!

Thing is, its so thin right there that I’m afraid to move it too much. I have contacted Mad Dog stocks to see if they have any ideas. Just doesn’t seem right that it should crack if there are absolutely no signs of impact, damage, or misuse.
