What are your thoughts on this little bullpup? I watched a couple of videos and they were very positive on build quality and accuracy. But I want to hear from the average man that owns one. If you have one and want to vent or brag, I would like to hear from you.

I don’t have one. But have heard some folk say they have poor buid quality of the lever. Have even seen someone selling upgraded levers for them. Do some more digging.

I have one and although I do like it very much NOW I've had more trouble with it by far than any of the other 15 air guns I own. My cocking lever snapped in two at about 1000 shots. I begged Air Venturi for a replacement and 2 months later they were kind enough to send me one off of one of the MANY returned guns they had waiting for parts. They were supposed to send me a new redesigned one when they received them but that never happened (this was at least 6 months ago). Shortly after installing the lever they sent me the valve stem snapped in two. I sent it to Troy at Annililator Air Guns & Tuning and he took care of making a new stem and got it shooting very well again. I also purchased a replacement lever from Matt on the GTA forum that's made of quality steel and made to last unlike the original levers from Kral which were shiny "pot metal". From what I understand Kral has put beefier levers on them but I have no idea if they've addressed the valve stem issue. You could email them and ask but don't hold your breath. They never answer emails!
It's a nice little bullpup but they've used cheesy components to keep the price down. The ONLY way I'd ever buy another Kral would be from Troy. Yeah, it'll cost you $150 or so more but you'll get a gun that's tuned and made to last more than a couple of tins of pellets. JMHO

Almost the same experience as above ,mine is a .22 cal and i had a valve stem let loose after a couple tins of pellets,and replaced the cocking lever.that being said I love that little gun and can’t wait for it to come back from Troy,buy one from a tuner all done.

I think Annihilator Airguns sells an after market cocking lever and they sell them tuned with a different valve stem. Iv'e been doing some investigating on the net. For the tuned rifle they are asking 699.00. It comes with quieter kit and Kral MK lll valve kit. All calibers same price.

I love mine. .25 in silver with polymer stock. I have an ATN 3-14 night sight on it and it is devastating on rats. If and when it breaks, I’ll get it tuned like the other folks commented. I’ve had it about a year and shot about 5 tins through it. Great little gun for what it is.

I don't own one but have shot one, once. It was a .25 and it seemed under powered compared to other .25's. The .22 or .177 seems to be okay for the power numbers.
