Hey,I'm glad to find this forum, and hello everyone.
I'm a Chinaese Airgun player,My English is very bad :(

I got a new Kalibrgun Cricket .22,and i got problem with air filling,
When i use a compressor,the pressure of compressor is 30MPA,but the pressure of Cricket will stop at 25MPA,never higher then 25.
When i use a Carbon Tank,if the pressure of Carbon Tank is 25MPA,so the pressure of Cricket will stop at 21MPA,i wait for a long time,but it's still 21MPA.

But there is no air leak,everything goes well but the pressure.

So any one can told me what's wrong with my Kalibrgun?

Because there is no air gun shop in China,so I can't find a shop to check my gun,i can only ask help here.

Thanks very much!!!
 
When i fill the gun with a compressor,the fill speed is very very slow,
for example:
when the compressor is 1000psi,the gun is 300psi,
when the compressor is 2000psi,the gun is 1000psi,
when the compressor is 3000psi,the gun is 2000psi,
when the compressor is 4000psi,the gun is 3000psi and stop rise up,after 1 minute,the gun is still 3000psi,
i forgot to say that my Kalibrgun is not the color pressure guage,it's a number guage

I think that it is because the way Kalibrigun has designed the filling system. It uses a countersink screw with a oring behind it. Once the pressure overcomes the oring it will fill the tube. but when you are finished you bleed the line the oring sucks back into its seat and seals off the tank.

so in order to fill you have to over come that oring. and sounds like you don't have enough pressure once you get up towards higher filling pressures

nolith, the best working pressure for the gun, that I have found, is filled to 220 bar or 3100psi. Mine falls off the regulator at around 120bar or 1740psi. Mine also will not fill past 240bar, 3480psi. It just stops. I have been told it is bad if you fill much past 220 as it stresses the o-rings. Im getting 58 shots out of mine at those pressures, before drop off.

I asked once about it stopping so low and was told not to worry, its shooting in its prime area, SO, I stopped worrying and started shooting.

I dont think its manufactured that way, My gun stops filling at 240 bar. I dont know why! but, it does not effect the usable shot count. My gun was also tuned by Ernest Rowe. It would seem that if the gun reads a certain fill level, you should be able to fill it to that level. But mine is like yours, it does not. I use a 4500 tank. It fills my other 300 bar guns with no problems. I dont worry about it as I said before, I have been told not to fill it much past 220 bar for longevity reasons.

Cliff maybe they have altered the design of the new Crickets, but the one I had filled all the way to the maximum 300 bar. I am not sure why they would change the gun since they initially advertised them as filling to 300 bar unless it is to keep the shot in the sweet area. It is possible there are some faulty gauges out there that read incorrectly which makes more sense than Kalibr selling 2 different guns, one that fills to 4500psi and one that stops well short of that. Maybe an e-mail to Kalibr would get the correct answer to this issue, Neil.
