Hello, I just got back into airgunning after a long absence and discover this wonderful forum. My first and won't be my last purchase was a Kalibrgun Cricket in .22 with the black stock. Love it for its performance, dependability, and history. A lot of guns have come and gone but the Cricket is still selling strong! Now my questions to all are: what mods have you done to your Cricket, what mods can be done, who are the top tuners, and please post your pictures! Thanks in advance as I am hoping for some great ideas and to read some interesting posts. Go Cricket!

I Have left both my 22 and 25 cal. crickets in factory configuration. However if you want to have improvements done then the man is Ernest Rowe.

I have a few different stocks for mine which I rotate depending on what I'm doing. I like the original synthetic stock for when I'm shooting from a bench because it's got some weight to it. I bought a second one which I cut down to be lightweight and I have a custom carbon fiber one for walking in the woods when I want it super light.
Talon Tunes used to sell an adjustable butt-pad and a bipod rail that attached to the air tank but I don't know if they sell them anymore.
A lot of people add their own weaver rail to the bottom of the forend for a bi-pod.
Donny Du makes custom carbon fiber shrouds for them. I haven't tried one personally but they look good in pics.
In addition to tuning, Ernest makes titanium valve stems. I got one because the original one broke but if you're sending it in for a tune, I recommend adding one because originals are a weak point. Ernest can do any mod you want for the Cricket. Check out some of his threads on this forum. They are awesome. He turned a 22 Cricket into a 30cal and he did a 25 Cricket with a smooth twist barrel and Huggett shroud.

I mark my Magazines. A bit of White tape marks the first pellet and red marks the last One.
I also have a custom stock and buttpad

Great idea with the magazine! I must say that your Cricket is one fine looking piece of machine! Looks like you installed a power adjusting screw, what brand? Where bought from? How's it working? Does it easily allow you to change power levels? Is it reliable? Does it work all the time? I heard they come loose since there's no way to set it? I was thinking about this as my first upgrade it seem so simple and a cheap way of adjusting power. Would you recommend? Your barrel shroud looks cool also! Thanks for sharing!

It's not really a power adjuster. It is just a hammer spring tentioner. It replaces the original plastic One. I use locktite to Keep it from unscrewing itself.

Also I had problems with my fill probe so i bought this One from UK and it is a fine piece.

I notice you guys still have two orings in your magazine, A tighter fit with the Mags is if you do the zonk mod,

KitCarrera, the stock is not expensive at all. It depends on where you live for the shipping cost. I paid less for the stock and buttpad than for my scope and rings

Another mod worth considering. An awesome looking stock makes the gun look so much more unique and sexy!

I must commend you on your sense of style you have an eye for what looks nice! Are those pics of a gun you owned? Can you share more details on what was done to it? You don't have to share your source publicly if you don't want to
Me personally would love to know every detail including where, who, what, when, and how!
