Just wanted to share some pics of my most recent acquisition to the arsenal...Has already proven to be a great little hunting rig. Got mine from Mike at flyingdragon and have been tweaking it to my liking.
Ok, a little report on my Sentry .22. Installed the larger transfer port and I'm getting a shot curve over 3 mags of 830-850-830 with a bit of tweaking/adjusting of the hammer spring. And my Sentry is Accurate!, that is the important part. I plan to tinker with it some more to raise the power up to around 880-900fps with 18gr JSB's. Also, made my own shroud with NP2 parts and let me tell you, this thing is super back yard quiet now, out of the box is is NOT back yard friendly. My brother made me some custom 3D printed barrel bushings to give the shroud rigity and made it sturdy, since it's free floating, feels solid. Made the airtube band out of pvc and sprayed it to match my stock. Have taken it out twice on some pesting permissions and it has proven to be a great little hunter! The more I shoot it the more it is settling in and getting better and better. Mine out of the box needed to be tinkered with, came with too much grease everywhere, lose screws that needed loctite, busted or chewed up orings etc...after you tinker with it, it is a great little pcp. Here are some photos I took on how my Sentry looks right now.
-
excellent job, the gun looks incredible like a 1000 dollar pcp ! one of the best designs IMO
-
Nice looking gun. I didn't know had these type of guns available...What is the length and weight of it? I am looking for something lighter and/or shorter than my Disco's.
-
I don't see this on the Flying Dragon website - am I visiting the wrong place?
-
Thats a sweet looking rifle you got there Jimmy " Now do you know what to do with it " I'm sure you do .

Nope- you're at the right place. They're not listed, which is a tragedy. Those are fine looking airguns.

Thanks, I do like the way it looks now, much better.

It is not a light gun IMO, I'd have to weigh it but I'm guessing around 7-8lbs closer to 8lbs with the original "shroud" which had no effect on taming the bark. 36" stock, with the new shroud it's about 38".

When I ordered it, it was not on the website, just send Mike an email, he'll send you an invoice if he has some available still.

Dale, now the fun begins! Has about 20 GS already under it's little belt! Haha!

Give him a call before noon or shoot him an email. He will respond.

Mike has them in stock. I got my .25 yesterday when the Brown truck came. I'm going to start tinkering to up the power and will open up the transfer port and experiment with spring tension or maybe different springs. If anyone has found a trick that is particularly effective give me shout and I'll try and duplicate it.

Did you order the np2 complete shroud 22 caliber from crosman? I want to do the same to my sentry

Thanks jimmy😎 how quite was the sentry after the install? This parts list is all I need?

Very quiet and very back yard friendly.
You will need some sort of barrel bushings, my brother printed mine with his 3d printer. This will add strength and rigity to the shroud.

You will be smiling from ear to ear on the effectiveness of this inexpensive mod. Dirt cheap to be exact! ;)
