Puncher Breaker Silent Walnut Sidelever PCP Air Rifle

Beautiful rifle, fast delivery, thanks.

Very accurate good heft . Although I received cracked magazines. I contacted customer service to get them replaced to no avail. My assumption is that they took the new mags out and gave them to another customer for a warranty replacement. I will be taking my business elsewhere for future purchases.

TO RECEIVE NEW, NOT USED DAMAGED MAGAZINES.

According to customer Rep Irvin these magazines Crack with use, well I used one four ti e and didn't use the other at all.

Price is great for the rifle you get. Comes with 2 magazines, although at point of sale, there is no way to buy more. Walnut stock is beautiful, but heavy. Fit and finish are above average. Everything was tight when it arrived. Shipping box has custom cut foam that did a great job of protecting the rifle in transit. Comes with all the wrenches needed to make adjustments. Rear cheek rest is comfortable, but it is not a riser, only moves forward and back, not up. Box announced that the scope rail has both 11mm dovetail AND picatinny, which is false, it only has the picatinny. Side lever smoothed out after about 500 shots. Sear set screw needed to be lightened to get it from 4lbs trigger pull down to ~1.5 lbs. Love the external power adjuster, but wish it had clicks like a scope adjustment. Comes with an accessory rail for bipods or a laser that bolts on, but with only one center bolt, it will TWIST unless you put something to stop the slip under it when mounting.

Kral PLEASE get rid of the leak inducing fill probe set up and jump on-board with the FOSTER quick disconnect! PROBLEM: The check valve in the air tube has a hole cut out that has no finish sanding, so when you insert the fill probe, the first ORING gets cut EVERY TIME. Mine leaked at every fill until I gently used (by hand, no machining!) a dremel polishing bit and took off the sharp edge. Also had to use a liberal amount of plumbers tape to get the fill probe and foster fitting adapter to seal correctly. The nylon insert did nothing to seal the air in, the plumbers tape did it all. The instruction manual is for the non-bull pup version so taking out some of the first stage trigger pull was not as listed. It required tightening the linkage nut a turn and a half to remove the uptake slop. The sear adjustment was as listed in the manual.

Gets 36 shots on full power at 30 FPE, mine likes 18.1g JSB pellets. Running 850 FPS. Accuracy is 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch for 12 shots at 25 yards. This gun is LOUD, and the SILENT in the title is misleading. Unless you have a big piece of property, this rifle will disturb neighbors. The rail if too low and even with high rings, you will have a hard time getting your eye relief comfortable. You need HIGH RINGS and a picatinny riser. High rings alone did not do the job for me. The combo of the riser and the high rings make cheek mounting and eye relief comfortable and repeatable.

It's held up well for 2 years: Accurate with a wide variety of pellets/slugs and weights(see examples below). Valving seems very consistent out of the box following a predictable curve. the trigger can be set up pretty nice for a bullpup. Stock is comfortable and well balanced. These are all full power 10 shot groups over a chrono @ 1/2" or less at 25 yards: HN slug, 21gr, avg 789.7fps, spread 16fps, 29fpe. JSB Hades, 15.89gr, 897.67fps avg, spread 17fps, 28.4fpe. HN Crow Magnum 18.21gr, 826.4fps avg, spread 5fps, 27.6fpe.

It's a little heavy. I'd like it 2 lbs lighter. It's loud, the factory should put the shroud to use for more than decoration. The factory burst disc on my rifle failed 2x well below 2900psi. After the second failure I made my own disc. No problems since.

Out of the box this is LOUD. There a several easy modifications to fix.
Originally, I reversed the shroud, added a barrel shroud spacer (air stripper) with 1/2-20 UNF female threads and 4 new style factory Marauder Baffles and spring (all from Hill airguns). topping it all with a Donny FL Tanto and threaded adapter. The pellet slicing the air and target impact is the loudest thing any bystander hears. For the shooter, the hammer noise seems loud

For those more budget and weight conscious, I recently purchased and tested a thread on device from Buck Rail. Their Benjamin Akela Suppressor is a direct to the end of the shroud and very effective.

This is my second bullpup (I have the Benjamin Bulldog .357 - excellent rifle). The styling of the Kral Puncher Breaker .25 with the walnut stock is nice. The rifle has a natural feel when bringing it up to your shoulder to fire. Accuracy is excellent.

The wood finish is sub-standard for the price of the rifle. Fit and finish are okay; however, there is not a protective coating of urethane on the wood like you would see on regular wood stock firearms. Additionally, the metal finish is a bit rough in some spots. The Puncher Breaker comes with a picatinny section along with ONE screw to mount on the forearm of the rifle. One screw is a problem, because no matter how much it is torqued down, the section will not stay in place. I had added a bipod to the rifle, but ended up dismounting it and removing the section because the rail kept twisting around. For those reasons a star was knocked off on "Value for money" and "Overall rating."

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase - it is a nice addition to my small arsenal.

Great accuracy, good trigger, solid well built gun.

Stock could use a little trim down on the front, I took mine out to my wood shop and shaved a little off.

Mine seems to shoot really well 2800 back to 2000 psi.

The puncher is good and fun to shoot, very accurate up to 50 yards, I'm very happy with the purchase and glad to do business with pyramid air thanks .

nothing

I purchased this rifle in 22 cal back in 2019. I haven't had the first problem with it since then. It is an outstanding rifle. Kral rifles are excellent in quality. I love the walnut stock and the side lever cocking action. This was my very first pcp rifle.

Nothing this rifle is great. And it is reliable.

Buy this rifle. You wont be sorry. I want one in 25 cal. But it might make you catch the bug where you want more. Since then I have purchased 13 other pcp rifles. So watch out. Lol !!

good value for the money and fast shipping good accuracy still testing pellets but loves the jsb exacts in 18 gr

the screw for the chargeing handel kept coming loose and hcaused problems cocking the gun had to remove it and apply some lock tite and solved the problem

I got the refurbes. in .22. At first I thought that it was new. The only thing that looked used was the mags & fill probe. The "o" rings were cut up and would not hold air. Can only shoot about 10 yards in my back yard so groups are one an top of the other.

bspp connector to fill air tank. Make the supports for he picatinny scope rail fatter to allow for a fully shrouded barrel.

The sound level on my phone app. was 87 to 91. I removed the factory shroud and installed the Crosman NP214-001 Trail Baffle.With 2 different carbon fiber raped tubs. This brought my sound level down to 72 to 75 much quitter.
