Thanks
Always appreciate your passion and in-depth analyst.
Never seen such poor machining of the crown before. excellent video, nice clear and informative and great accent :-)
This video is absolutely on target! Thanks!
Nice job, excellent pictures and information.
JUST DO IT !
Antonio Mrva Thanks mate
superb video with professional and informative report 👌👌👌
Well done ! Cant wait for next video mate .
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for sharing.
SurvivalTech Nord Thanks!
Thank you very much for this video. I was aware of that a year ago. I also saw multiple Cricket barrels and none of them was perfect. Noone believed me.
To be honest the best approach is to replace the barrel with LW one and machine it perfectly. The is the definitive solution. The other methods which you showed are just like hacking.
Very good video!!!
Hope to see more of this. Thanks!
Pepe Pateatraseros Thanks mate!
another exellent video..
Freeman , enjoy the depth of info in video . Have not seen you in a while, hop everything is ok with you.
+cyocaller
Thanks mate. Just have no time to make new videos...
Best regards.
Wow, great vid thanks!
+Raleigh's channel Thanks.
Are you sure that poor quality rifling marks are related to poor crowning? I noticed some rough area in the choke of the barrel. Like tooling marks or different disstortions. Because of them the barrel was fouling very fast and the accuracy was lost. The question is if CZ did that. Maybe they just provide raw barrels and they need to be machined by a different company. I do not know.
been eagerly awaiting this, awsome job, and love the vid. thank you my friend. look forward to future, vids shooting now.
matt white Thanks mate. You motivate me to do it sooner. Too busy this days.
I definately understand your busy, as life seems to do that to us all at the min. I hope i didnt hinder to much, i really appreciate the info as im sure alot of others will. Thanks for the outstanding guide/write up, that was backed up with pics the whole way through, it was incredible, especially taking time from you busy life to respond to the tons of questions. I feel honoured to have had the pleasure in watchng these and will closely follow in future, thanks again for responding and take car my friend.
matt white Thanks for the encouragement mate.
Not into Air rifles at all. Amazing videos though great attention to detail and truly awesome gunsmithing. You my friend are a master of this rifle.
+bilfstriker
Thanks mate.

thank you so much....
+Iyoy Kinoy You are welcome mate.
Great videos!
+Stuart Crane
Thanks!
I concur..spot on, mate.
hey what happened to your pigeon video??
Your job is amazing
+Khalid Attary
Thanks
Awesome!
Dougíe Thanks!
FreeManShooting Your attention to detail is staggering, it's a shame Calibrgun don't feel the same!
Enjoyed your new video as ever. However, the question comes up : what sort of groups were you getting before and after your crown work ?
Show us please how the changes influence the accuracy
great sport B The difference is not big, but if you are shooting benchrest or targets - you are fighting for consistency and accuracy. I need to search for some old pictures from the beginning. The problem is that I have made the tuning long time ago - little after I bought the rifle, and now I am doing the videos from the pictures and videos from that time.
We needs to see some hunt with this modified arm
+Khalid Attary
My last one year hunting videos are with the mod. rifle. Just check my channel: ua-cam.com/users/FreeManShooting
Goode Job! Free Man, after your improved you Cricket, what's the group your can have in 100meters?
NX Z I cant remember now, but I have a pictures somewhere. One day I will do a video of it :-)
Wonderful work. This makes me think about the barrel on my new CZ 452. I wonder if that, too, has crowning issues and too much choke!
I liked the video, a lot of interesting!Please tell me the camera model?
Hi there I have just got a cricket when I shoot it at 18 -27 ft lbs the pellets miss place out of the magazine is that normal with the cricket and on eny power air coms back out the back where the magazine is and on top ov this problem when the cricket is at 100 bar shoots at about 25 ft lbs then when it's at 200 bar it shoots at about 10ft lbs what is it that needs adjusting the valve or the regulator thanks
It seems you need a different barrel, the chamber is one thing (The pellet is just pushed past it by the nozzle) but that choke.. wow.. Cant say I envy you!
Try FX, EDGun or Daystate barrel?
Thank you very much for knowledgeful contributions :)
ToreDL87 The barrel is great! The finish is poor. I guess they buy blanks from CZ and finish them in KalibrGun factory - doing barrel crowning, and choke.
FreeManShooting
I can attest to CZ barrel quality, have gotten consistent hits with CZ 452 .22LR at ranges that people claim .22LR is not capable of.
Hope you can get your barrel fixed then, it should do you well :)
Thank you so much for free contribution to curious people such as me.
Yours and other peoples videos have convinced me that PCP is the only way to go to stay consistent at long range, currently saving up for a FX Bobcat .25 (I live in a mountain area with lots of wind).
+ToreDL87 FX Bobcat .25 sounds great for your conditions and not only. Regards
FreeManShooting
Seems the Bobcat is no longer produced, my retailer can no longer acquire it!
So I have to buy the new .25 Wildcat instead, they let me fiddle with it, charged it up and let me dry-fire inside the shop.
It feels better than the Bobcat before, shorter than Bobcat but longer than Vulcan, in between some where.
Regulator comes standard, 300cc reservoir.
Action is super smooth, very low noise level, good balance, but I hear the index lever for magazine is die-cast and bends easily after 1000 pellets, and swivel pins in bolt lever mechanism falls out (pressed into place..) so it will need some work..
What to expect, it`s cheaper than Kalibrgun Cricket and AGT Vulcan, so we will see, accuracy is good and around 60 regulated shots, so not too bad if not too many issues.
How far have you gotten on barrel repair? :)
+ToreDL87 Since I finish the tuning I am just shooting. I will say the accuracy is great, even on over 100 meters. The choke is one idea more than needed, but when I am shooting pellets with ticker skirts there is not waveling.
I am very interested from the wildcat - hope will be even better.
FreeMan, Have you had any feedback from Kalibrigun?
Kawitamamayi No I am not going to write them or complain. Every rifle have his own weaknesses. But this is expensive rifle to have a such a problems. Hopefully they will deal with them.
nice nice vid
gooddad1975 Thanks!
..Again GREAT video..I've learned Much...BTW your English is Great...Have you thought about Gunsmithing yourself????..if so Ill give you some business...Mike
Hi Freeman,First off ... I love the name !I have been looking for awhile to get an air rifle. .. The last time I had one was 20yrs agoLike yourself ... I always try and get the best I can within my budget ... so I have 2 questions for you.(1) Which would you recommend the Cricket or the colibri/Hummingbird(2) Could I buy one from you that you have modified, corrected and tested.Thanks
+Alexis Vlotomas The Colibri have some weak points + it takes too long to the semi-auto. I am not sure where they are in the process. Cricket is bulky, heavy and noisy... but is strong and reliable.
Did you saw FX WildCat? There was no WildCat when I bought Cricket :-)
barrel twist?
What is the overall point? Do you have targets before and after?
Maxim Savrilov The difference is not big, but if you are shooting benchrest or targets - you are fighting for consistency and accuracy. I need to search for some old pictures from the beginning. The problem is that I have made the tuning long time ago - little after I bought the rifle, and now I am doing the videos from the pictures and videos from that time.
is the cricket shooting better with the new crown? i wont to make my cricket.
+Hasaan Abdallah Yes by little. The Cricket war accurate before, but now is even better.
+FreeManShooting What about cricket .25? They have LW barrels.
+Tamo Neki
CZ barrels are very good, but the finish is awful. The crowning and the choke are really bad!
How do I Kalibrgun cricket airgun .25 to .22 conversion
+محمد ابوطالب
I never convert .25 to .22, but there is difference of the barrel length, shroud, magazines and the barrel as caliber of course.
Я знаю что вы говорите по русски! Ответе мне пожалуста ! Это у крикета такая ушатанная фаска в стоке?!!!
+Pavel Sto
Здраствуйте,
Да все винтовки приходят с этой проблем со стволом.
Ствол хорошее качество, но финиш (фаска) очень плохой.
FreeManShooting спасибо за ответ!!
hi,
I'm so happy to hear that it not only me that thinks H&N Baracuda's are simply the best. I don't have a cricket but was thinking of getting one. currently have a few PCPs the best by a long shot my Weihrauch .22 hw100. As a pro in my eyes what do you think about Hw100 vs.Cricket?
Regards
From SA
Rudi
+Rudi Moolman HW is great air rifle. Accurate and good quality, but is long. Cricket is Bullpup and this make the gun in different category of interest. FX have new cheaper solutions for Bullpup - might be you will want to make research.
my fx cyclone has the same problem as yours
+les cooke
Sad!
This are expensive rifles with poor quality, and quality control!
+FreeManShooting how did you go about repairing? did you sand
are you in jail? let me know if you need bail money!!!
+jason gural
No :-), just lacking of time...
This gun cost over 1000 € and really? should cost half the money..I owned 2 one i 177 and then .22 sold both cose whats the point to keep the rifle with poor accuracy and in case when you have to fix someting ?!.
Btw Cricket company are not monofacturing Colibis any longer
+Dominik .I
Yes they have weak stuff, but now the rifle is deadly accurate :-)
+FreeManShooting I agree with you..but how much time and effort does it cost you? IMO an idea to buy a gun so expensive like this one is just to take out of the box and have a lot of fun with shooting ..Its almost half a problem if you know how to fix the issue and you are able to do it by yourself..but if not ..its generate some extra cost and on the end cost you much more.
+Dominik .I
You are right!
Even when I know what and how to do - still cost a lot of time, energy and extra money.
Because I invest a lot of this in this gun I am still with it and not emigrate to FX :-)
+FreeManShooting haha..i think Fx is on the wave at the moment ..wild cat look intresting to me has a few new options and what I like the most is fact 200 bar air tube not 300 bars for me is just great cose im "pumping man"") now i have lgm 2 pcp verison ..single shot but verryyy acurate.
Btw all yours videos are cool.. can i ask for more:)
+Dominik .I
I am with air tank but using Methane to shoot instead air.
Tha gas is more dynamic and increasing the speed.
+ is very cheap to shoot.
Buy FX, do promote them like the others and stop crying
