Initial testing with JSB 15.9’s show a big improvement over the “made in Germany” barrel. I’m assuming it is a Czub barrel? It is choked. New barrel groups more like a high end airgun now and the flyers are gone. I’ve old shot it at 25 yards so far.

Replaced Oring and shot a couple hundred pellets. I let the gun sit for 2 weeks and shot a full string today. The first shot was right at 900 fps with SD of 2 and ES of 8 over the next 4 mags.

Thanks, Clint

Already have the O rings. I guess this is probably the little one inside inside the regulator?

I thought only the shorties had the the crap barrels and the standards have CZ barrels. The TGAG site has both sizes on sale (preorder). Are they replacing the barrels on the standards too?

The steel stem that seems to be the issue is nothing more than a 2mm rod that is threaded on the end. The steel stem is just as bendy on both the new and old valve. It is going to be pretty easy to try different materials for the stem.

Comparing the Ocelot .22 to the Veles short .177 is kinda like comparing apples and oranges although they are both 12 fpe. I haven’t shot either of them enough to pick one over the other. I like them both. If your into powder burners the Ocelot feels like a T/C Contender and the Veles feel like a S&W 41.

Veles sights are pretty crude and only adjustable for windage via set screw.

Veles was $1050 plus shipping. Ocelot was $926 plus shipping (TGAG).

Here are pics of the weigh in with red dots attached. Scale is reading pounds and ounces.

The shroud on the Ocelot takes a lot of the crack away but it is about as loud as a co2 pistol.

Both pistols shooting right at 12 fpe. Ocelot gets 40 shots, Veles gets 20.

Ocelot has gauge, Veles doesn’t.

You can shoot both one handed but much easier with Veles as it is much lighter even with…Read more

I played around with the HST cranking it in but I did not get any higher velocity than 590 fps (JSB 15.9).

The baffles attach to the barrel. I’m sure a LDC adapter could be fabricated. The shroud/moderator takes the edge off but I would not call it super quiet. There Are only 2 baffle and a little volume around the barrel for the shroud. Probably about as loud as a stock Prod. Accuracy seems very good. Quality is top notch

Bottom rear screw is sear engagement and top screw is over travel. I guess the only weight adjustment is the spring on the linkage?

I agree, so far the Cricket trigger is my favorite….

I received my new .177 compact from WWAG yesterday. When I installed the WWAG HST adjuster it was too much hammer preload and the velocity was just maxed out with no adjustment. Where can I get a lighter HST spring?
