Krale has several airguns for sale right now. I just picked up a Kral Empire for cheap: https://www.krale.shop/us/kral-arms-puncher-empire-walnut/ (https://www.krale.shop/us/kral-arms-puncher-empire-walnut/)
If you go to the main page and select Sale you can see everything that is discounted.

I saw the sale and wanted to buy one of the Kral Empire bullpups.
Then I realized that they do not have the power adjuster wheel.
It seems that the only Kral bullpup with the power adjuster is the Monarch.

This looks like some good deals. Has anyone ordered before from this website? It looks like it is in the Netherlands. Also wondering about shipping..The gears are tuning just wanted to verify the site and shipping costs. Thanks for the info!!

Yes, the UPS guy just dropped off my Empire that I ordered on Monday. This was my second airgun that I've purchased from Krale. Shipping was $52, which I didn't think was bad considering how fast it got here from the Netherlands. I ordered the bullpup and eight tins of pellets - everything arrived safely, double boxed and the pellet tins were rolled up in bubble wrap and taped up well.

Solid seller. Lots of folks here have been buying from them for years.

Guess I have to take back all the nice things I said about Krale, or at least when it comes to purchasing Kral rifles from them. Once I started checking mine out, I noticed the cocking lever had a lot of up and down play. The bolt holding the cocking arm on was very loose, and when I tried to tighten it, it just spun because the threads were stripped in the receiver. The loose bolt had allowed the cocking lever to rub the receiver, scratching the paint. It also allowed the cocking lever to dig into the wood stock, creating a dent in the wood. The air stripper was also not attached to the end of the barrel, and was rattling around inside the shroud.
I sent pics to Krale and let them know my issues, and this was the response:
(Removed due to violation of forum Rule #15.)
So basically, "We know the product we're selling is &^^&, here's $25 to buy some more &^^& from us."
I moved the cocking lever to the left side and reattached the air stripper, so not a big deal, other than the cosmetic issues. Had I purchased a used gun with these issues and they weren't disclosed by the seller I'd be upset. But this was supposed to be a new gun. The only upside is that I got it on sale; had I paid full price I'd be sending it back. Oh well, lesson learned, no more turdkish guns for me.

I am actually very surprised by that response. Regardless of the price range it is a new gun and should certainly not have cosmetic damage. 25 Euro is nothing. Shame on Krale. I have always had good service from them, sorry to hear of this.

Unfortunately, bad service is readily available here in the States as well. About 9 months ago I purchased a Uragan2 from a dealer here for $1,800. After about a week I realized that it had an air leak. I e-mailed the vendor twice asking for help and I never even received a reply. Needless to say, he won't be getting any more of my money, but he is getting alot of free advertising...

Disappointing. I never seen many Krals, but love the benji craftsman series they make.
Bummed about your bad experience. Keep us posted if the gun experience imoroves with the Empire.

No offense but some like to say "buy once, cry once". That's all well and good unless the crying once lasts to infinity.

No offense taken, but then I also don't get your point.

That's the cheapest I've seen an American Air Arms Evol/Mini go for, too bad it's still $2100~
Likely getting rid of the old stock in preparation for the upcoming new models though.

Who was the vendor? Asking so I don't buy anything them.
