When I get it in I will do a mini report on it,
I have had my 22 Mutant for almost a year, I rotate my guns one week the 22 cricket next week the 25 cricket, and every time I still pick up the 22 mutant the lightness and accuracy has me in as in wow.
So its just plan simple to buy the 25 Mutant shorty, Just look at the specs of the gun, Wow.
It started out as one gun limit, Well I needed a 25 so two gun limit, I wanted to try the 22 mutant out everyone was so crazy about, Wow now three guns,
If the 25 Mutant shorty is like the 22 got to have one, Four guns,
How do you sell a perfect gun? Its like having the best wife in the world and getting a Divorce and getting another one,
I guess if someone screwed with the gun or the wife I would sell it, But my guns are under lock and key,
Oops getting off subject here Michael will shut me down, LOL
I will post pictures as soon as I get it,

I am seriously concerned that a Mutant Shorty in .25 caliber will have power problems. Am I to understand there have been mfgr. changes made, or are these local modifications by hobbiests? (two transfer ports??? How/Why)

My .22 Mutant was a fun gun, but I wanted more than 30 fpe, because I must, from time to time, shoot some large animals rummaging through my gardens. (skunk apes)

A 40 fpe .25 would be quite acceptable to me!

Yep I know what you mean, I got one of the first Mutant 22 and it was shooting a little slower than I liked, Mid to high 700 FPS , The newer ones have a longer barrel, Same size gun just longer barrel and shoot close to the 900 fps bracket, I have a Cricket 22 shooting at around 940 FPS with 18gr pellets,
I shoot 16 gr out of the 22 Mutant. But some of the shots I make is just , Wow, Holy cow, The CZ barrel just drills the pellets,, I no, I No the 25 shorty has a LW barrel, Crap, and that almost drove me to buy a Vulcan .25 , Thats a little longer story.
Oh back to the power problem, I am hopping for 800FPS with the 25 gr pellet,
If not I see H&N make some 19gr ,25 Caliber pellets,
But for right now I just got to hurry up and wait until I get it.
Mike
accuracy above all else.

Power is a big concern for me, Living in Texas every thing has to be bigger, More powerful, and on and on , LOL (joke)
I got this off the site about the Veteran Mutant .25 shorty, Now this looks good, To me anyway.
I do not think I post this on the .25
Now I conceder myself a beginner in the sport, I have only been in it a few years, But I know enough that 40FPE out of a 23.5 inch gun is SUPER. 
Not sure if I can drop Tony's address and phone number here , So I will just skip it..

You wondering about the power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got word that the new Veteran .25 shorty is going to be about 1/4 inch longer, Now we are talking about a 24 inch gun shooting 900 and over FPS out of the box
If your thinking accuracy you KNOW the Veteran Mutants are super accurate,
Just an FYI
Super powerful, Super accurate, Super good price,
What more could you ask for?
