I discovered Kral ‘inspired’ guns with the Kratos, light years ahead of the m and p rods. Which I have owned and modded extensively.
I modded my Kratos 25 up to mid 60 FPE, and not liking that power adjuster, I also followed Vetmix and added a low power Altaros regulator for 16 to 25 FPE shooting, for when I need it.
I thought it was a great gun, until I bought a True Kral, a 25 Bighorn, it makes 85 FPE with my cast bullets. The Bighorn build does not use the Power Adjuster and is ported from the factory to 6mm. It also uses a longer magazine than the dwarfish Kratos magazine which will not function with slugs, but in fairness the Kratos is a pellet shooter. I did unravel the secret of the chokes for cast bullet shooting, the Benjamin Craftsman series 25’s are choked to .249/.250 so .251 will work for them, or at least in my Kratos.
My Kral Bighorn is showing great potential with MPMolds .252 hp and solid point options, 44.5 hp’s for two magazines with a high of 931fps in the string.
I have owned 3 FX’s, a Xp Ranger 45, AA guns and my famous Haley 257 I made the 500,550,615 yard 12 oz cola can shot utube video’s with, and others including a wonderful Condor SS hot rod 25 that Doug Noble made for me, 6 months before the AF SS was revealed by AF using two AF frames.
Fo the service and price, I got mine from Troy Hammer, they are great values.
Bur is the Gunnar a great value? If it is the Dazzle rehashed it is not a powerhouse, at least from what I have read on stock guns, and it is unknown if the the 22 and 25 Gunnar’s are. If that 45 is a pellet shooter due to their cheaper short magazine Benjamin cursed the Kratos with, it is not worth a grand to me when the Bighorn sells for $700.00.
Just my opinion and like butt holes, everybody has one.
