Page 2 - Kral Arms Puncher NP-03 Reviews

I see alot of negative comments on the mags, this is my second Kral puncher, I have shot thousands of rounds, never had a problem with the mags, once you master how to load them

fill adapter needs additional fittings, be nice if both punchers used the same.

shoots well and is lite weight

Nice and compact, 12 shot mag, light gun

Stock is a bit wobbly, fit and finish could be better. Not regulated

Its a nice compact gun, plenty of power. I took out game from 50+ yards, with griffin slugs. I was super surprised it reached that far.

This should supercede my last review, which was one star due to delivery of faulty magazines. I discovered, though, that they're easier and faster to load if I unscrew the clear plastic top (while keeping the spring in check) and load them that way. The indexing works fine, the only thing I cant do is load the magazines the way they were designed to be loaded... but as I said this way is easier anyway. Build quality is fantastic, and even at full power it's not as loud as I expected. It's also very powerful and accurate.I havent Chrony'd yet but soon.

Build sturdier magazine workings that can stand up to the usage.

Best PCP bang for your buck imo. It's a good design thats about as powerful as .22 to .25 range PCP guns get.

great gun, too bad I cant shoot it because the magazines literally didn't even last one round of pellets each. The magazines are garbage or were broken when received. There is an ever sop tiny, weak as can be, sliver of plastic and a tiny metal pin responsible for assistance loading the magazine. This tiny sliver of plastic cannot even take one usage before breaking. No single shot tray provided. Gun is 100% useless at this time. Both magazines lasted about 5 rounds.

Overall a short airgun, just what I was looking for in a truck gun.30" with the stock collapsed and the ability to remove the shoulder stock if needed.

Nothing

Unfortunately I didn't have any luck with the two that I received, one refurbished and one new. They would not fill above 120 bar of their 200 max and the magazines would not fit into the receiver. Have to say none of this was PA's fault, they replaced both without a problem. Needless to say I was disappointed, I think whoever put the Kral NP-03's together was just having a bad day.

Excellent gun. 1 of my daily hunting guns. .22 is just amazing.. accuracy dependability and range . Longest shot so far 140yrd bunny. Puts alot of my higher end guns to shame . Trigger once tuned is 1lb and some change. About 40 shots a fill and power wheel adjustable. Like it so much buying my 3rd 1 for my daughter . Needs a moderator. Love this np03 most for compactness and it's a carbine format kinda hate bullpups for scope reasons . Putting my review up now because I have enough of them now ..3..haha. have had 1st one over 1yr now

My 1st np03 stock is just ok.. sticks and lil annoying to adjust but works lil lube helps .. 2nd had updated stock works perfect. 3rd is in da mail.

Loves cheap crosman 14.3 Shoots about 860 fps with them. Crosman 14.3 imo is the best .22 pellets . From mice to coyote takes them all

versitility , it's an adaptable back pack gun. pistol or carbine configuration.

make the shroud work , not just there for looks.

for an unregulated gun this is very consistent for first 15 shots off a 200 bar fill 10 fps with 25 cal 25.3g jsb pellets on high setting. on medium power first 15 had a spread of 6 fps. low power 10 fps over 30 shots. thats as good as many regulated guns. I only gave 3 on accuracy because i haven't shot it at distance . only chrony work. but i'm confident it is good. gun is loud , will need an LDC for it.

That it's a carbine not simply a pistol with a shoulder stock. This makes the balance perfect with or without shoulder stock. The added power of a .25 and not having to use a .22 at a higher fps to produce the same knockdown power. Being able to take gun down and use a backpack for stealth. Lot of airgun for the price paid.

Make it dovetail /picatinny instead of the dovetail /weaver rail. I tried weaver rings and they didn't fit, picatinny doesn't fit either, only dovetail rings worked. Also include a single shot tray for .25.

This gun is loud so don't think you're going to use a small moderator and expect it to be backyard friendly. I used a DonnyFL Ronin on it which worked great, but was just a little bulky, so I grabbed a Neil Clague made moderator, which is smaller diameter but just as effective at 1.5"x8" This

light , versatile. did not give it 5 stars because of fairly loud bark.

change the shroud so that it is useful. right now it is decorative. serves no useful function except to keep fingerprints off the barrel. slightly bigger air tube.

the gun has bark. the shroud has no sound deadening effect. i removed mine and attached LDC direct to barrel. you will get around 20 shots of diminishing power throughout as gun is not regulated. consistancy is pretty good though. I'm having a blast with it as a pistol with a quality primary arms red dot on it. actually more like a backpack gun with bipod , i removed the rear stock. it's different but fun. mine is the 25 cal , with the power adjuster you can set this for rats up to raccoons .

Smooth action, looks, hefty in hands.

Kral REALLY needs to refine their barrel production. I have SERIOUS accuracy issues due to spiraling. If this gun cant handle JSB pellets, it shouldnt exist. Somewhat LOUD. Get a Donnyfl TANTO.

I recommend the Prod by Crosman.

Mine is chambered in .22 the first one I sent back because the barrel was bent, couldnt get a straight shot at ALL. Mine is very ammo picky, the only round it likes is the Gamo with the bb head. Not even JSB shoot straight. The fps is less than advertised. Otherwise it’s fairly well-made and using the right ammo can be very accurate.

Fix the barrels before they ship out, Kral.

Be prepared to test lots of ammo to see what yours rifle likes best.

I love the look and weight of this gun and also how compact it is. Plus the clocking is buttery smooth and the magazines work flawlessly.

I bought a refurbished one and I believe I got a bad barrel.

Bought a refurbished one in 22 and unfortunately I think Im going to have to return it due to poor accuracy. I've tried 2 different pellets so far (Crossman Premier 14.3 and Jsb Hades 15.3) with horrible accuracy at 15 and 30 yards. Waiting on the 21 grain Barracudas arriving today to see how they do.

I like the look, feel and fun factor. It's considerably louder than my Benjamin Marauder (moderator brings it down to a neighborhood-friendly db), but is considerably more powerful. H&N Barracuda Match 21.14g pellets are accurate, and devastating. Waiting on some JSB Hades to see how they perform. The reservoir is huge, and keeps me plinking for a long time. I'd recommend an electric pump, but a hand pump will get the job done. Overall very happy, especially for the price.

Nothing.

When optics are mounted it's too tall to fit in any of my rifles case. Tried a red dot and a Hawke 2-7x scope. Not an issue, though. I don't really travel with it.

This is one great little gun! Trigger pull is very quick with no long pull to it. Air holds out for three full magazines or 36 shots at optimal velocity. Hits hard even at 40 yards! Accuracy is pretty darn good also even at 40 yards! The side lever cocking is as smooth as butter and the magazines load easily and work flawlessly! You can use it as is like a rifle or remove the buttstock and use it like a pistol with the weight being very manageable at 5 pounds. The air tank of 180 cc fills very quickly so you can get back to shooting! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GUN TO ANYONE, it is well worth the almost entry level price that is on it.

Nothing Really, like it just the way it is!

You can use this as a rifle or take the buttstock off and use it as a pistol although it is a little hard to hold it steady that way because of the 16 inch barrel.

Accurate well built and light weight.

Nothing. Leave it alone. Its perfect!

The only thing u should know is put some predator poly mags in this joker and have fun. All b.s to the side. Very well made rifle. U will notice it as soon as that ambidextrous grip hits your hand. Smooth lever action coordinated with a 12 shot spring loaded mag. It all plays well together. Super impressed with this air rifle for the price point!

Great deal for the price - Got the .177 getting 4 14 Shot Mags on a fill at low power.. plenty for small game at close distances.. 1/2 groups at 40 yds

The Grip is NOT AMBI it is a RIGHT handed Grip. I'm a south paw and it is still useable but the "notch / shelf" for the right hand's thumb is in the middle of my palm when gripping.

I love my Tactical PROD, great little carbine and always wanted one in .177... Well this fit the bill and already has the AR Stock, threaded Barrel and threaded shroud adatapter for 1/2 in UNF for $400!! Tact Prod starts at $600... Comes with two Mags and has Picrail at forend to support a BiPod. Also an FX Fill Probe will work to fill this gun if you already have one..

First of all this is light ,pretty compact with a great adjustable stock smooth lever action.Very accurate at my range of 45 yards .Great fit and finish also good shot count for a non regulated 25 caliber of around 30 rounds.so far shot about 1000 rounds with no issues.Definitely a solid build.With a great 2 stage trigger.

Not a fan of the fill probe .

You can use polymags without any issues.
