Kral's Presence in the States

[CatnDoo]

Hi all
I've been away from the airgun world for a few years. But, I seem to remember Kral air guns being available at a few of the larger airgun retailers. I dont see them anywhere.....Did I miss something along the way? Is this somehow COVID related?

Tell me if ya find them here in the US?

I think air venturi was the usa distributor.

Then seem like they just fazed them out.

If your looking for something this may be a last ditch.

Looking at some of the price cuts maybe on the outs with them as well ?

I feeling is if a company ain't got over covid by now I don't guess it ever will. Or pi$$ poor management . Like hatsan in turkey ain't set back .. hmmm...

I wonder if it has something to do with Benjamin rebranding some of their guns?

That exactly the scenario I was thinking about.

Ya, you look overseas and see that big wide selection they got and look around here and it's this or that or nothing ... Even pellets ..

You can buy them from Troy Hammer, The Best Airgun. He is a us importer of them and knows them like the back of his hand. I just bought a Bighorn in .30 cal. He modified it to shoot a 44.5gr pellet to 900-940 fps. It’s a good shooter, but the barrel is iffy. I just got another barrel, and foster fitting,Karl’s QD is proprietary. They do provide the coupler, but wanted standard foster. I got my parts from Canadian shooting supply. Very nice rifle,just gotta find the sweet spot as it is unregulated. Hopes this helps..

I kinda messed up the finish. But I'll get another stock and try again.. Grass

Oh btw. It’s NOT backyard friendly. But the DFL Ronin makes it a lot! Quieter…

 

[darylm]

Yeah, it’s odd……they have new models on their website but Kral still seems to be fading away

 

[Grassguy12200]

Well I hope not.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Maybe some companies just feel there effort to do business in the USA is just not worth it anymore .. that's my gut feeling..

 

[CatnDoo]

I hope not as well. I guess time will tell. I own three airguns, one being an FX impact M3. Which do I tend to use most often? My Kral empire XS. It's simple, quick to shoulder, and repeatable. I like my FX also, but I can't trust where the first few pellets will go.

"but I can't trust where the first few pellets will go."

Now that don't sound too trustworthy of a gun.. just hope it don't hit liability.....lol
