It is a tight fit. I see light between the barrel and bottle but not much. I sanded the bottle channel on the stock to give it a little more room in the stock.
It is my understanding the shroud can be removed and the barrel 1/2x20 threads utilized to save additional weight.
Nice!! I just ordered a bottle off Ebay myself for my Maverick VP...from what I understand the CE certification is more strict than our DOT certificates! So for the price why not!!!
At least 100 shots on low power. It gives strings that resemble regulated strings due to the bottle.
Here is a 10 yard target, bear I mind I am legally blind and my best vision is 20/180 for a nickel sized perifical spot of vision, so the crosshairs tend to blur out. It has shot 10 shot groups @ 10 yards of .03 ctc. What I am saying, your mileage may vary.
The difference in bottle ping between the carbon fiber and metal bottle has made the Kratis quieter.
I shoot from a sound box, and the bottle ping is about all I hear, the metal tank had a definite metallic ‘office sta-over sound,’ it is a softer noise now.
