I would like to see some reviews on it in .25 cal
Yeah, I'm still a bit sore from paying almost $500 for my M-16 'deal'. It is worth about $350-$375, not a penny more..

Chickie,Could you please expand on why you think it's only worth about $350-$375? I've been considering an M16 from Krale. It looks like an $800 PCP in a $400 price range, but if the internal parts quality is garbage, that quickly throws that theory out! My main concerns are the quality/integrity of the air tube, the quality of the trigger sears, and the accuracy of the barrel.Thanks!

The M16 is made from the same materials, at the same factory, but cost me almost 3x as much as my PR900Ws. It is much the same build but with some added bells and whistles. So, to me, I take $180 for the basic build and ask how much to upgrade to have all the good stuff? Adding a regulator is a $50-$75 upgrade, adding a lever is maybe worth another $80-$100, and the trigger upgrade is worth about another $50, in my opinion. That comes to $360-$405..I wouldn't have batted an eye at $400 retail for an M16, but $489, as it turns out, was about $100 more than it is worth (to me)..That said, I do love mine. All my other SPAs have been priced appropriately, just not so with this model..
