This is a question for you machinists and fabricators out there. Can this be re soldered or could I replace this copper line by soldering a new one into the existing fittings. The close up shows where I cracked the line taking the gun apart. It’s going to be a pain to try to get a new assembly from fx in Sweden and hope it survives shipping unscathed and fits a 10 year old gun properly. I was told by a dealer that it’s probably time for a new gun, because even if I get it all back together it won’t be the same as it was.

the rifle that Mickel has in the spider move?is the air tube made around the barrel?Snow Peck made something like that a while back.

Across this forum and experiencing this hobby for more than two decades, it has been a privilege to interact with so many of you in so many terrific ways. We have learned from each other and shared countless hours of shooting together, generating and sharing information, and spreading the gospel regarding this terrific sport.

Those of you that have visited me know that my outdoor range has been one of envy to most, in a subdivision, but supported by terrific neighbors, where even though I work a busy schedule and demanding job, I was able to walk out the door and shoot in most any conditions, covered, and easily accessible.

Over the last few days, as three more new homes have broken ground, children and pets are becoming more prevalent, and new neighbors that I have not met are moving into homes proximate to my range that I don't know, I figure it is only now a matter of time before the police show up at my door due to the noise of pellets banging targets, or an errant shot from a high power pcp causes an issue I will forever regret. I assess risks of various types for a large construction company each and every day. And when I am truly objective, I know I have been pushing the envelope for too long as it is. It is now time to pull up the back yard range targets and backstops, and I intend to complete that task this weekend.

And while I belong to a beautiful private rifle range only 20 minutes away, the 30 minutes it takes on each end to pack and unpack, the planning that goes into making time available from a demanding job and the priorities of a beautiful family, and working in between scheduled range events, the spontaneous fun I have been so privileged to enjoy with this hobby is now no longer in play.

One of my problems in life is that I am an "all in or all out" kind of guy. To this end, I wish to thank each of you very much for your friendships and sharing of your expertise, but it is time to move on to other things life has to offer.

Those of you that have followed-up my posts and reviews over the years, know that I have a vault that contains nothing but very meticulously tuned and super accurate air rifles. That is all that I have left. The mediocre and very good rifles were weeded out over time to where all that are left are spectacular and dependable performers. Over the next days, weeks, and months, I intend to begin offering them up to enthusiasts that will appreciate them and continue to put them to great use. These rifles beg and deserve to be shot.

It will take me considerable time to go through and sort out all of the seal kits and parts that I have accumulated to service my rifles and those of others, but little by little I will offer the parts and accessories I have accumulated over time, including more than 200,000 pellets and slugs.

Will I keep anything? Yes, I do intend to keep three or four of the rifles that mean so much to me, including my first .22 Air Arms S410, a Weihrauch HW97.20 that will shoot 10 shot groups averaging less than an inch at 50 yards, a super accurate Charlie Frear tune .22 Cricket long, and maybe one other rifle, but all less than 40 FPE and all "backyard friendly." That leaves about 18 or 19 other rifles including a Panthera, Skout, King, multiple Wolverines, a fantastic Red Wolf, BRK rifles, multiple RAWs, and well you get the idea. I will keep a Joe Brancato Great White 97 cu ft tank and my Alkin W31 air compressor.

I can't thank you all enough for your terrific friendships. A particular thanks to Ken Hicks at SPAW, Bin at the Pellet Shop, the Skout team, all of the AOA Team, Pyramid Air, Charlie Frear, the UTAH Air Guns team, Tom at Vortek, and of course Martin and Sandra Rutherford of now Airguns USA. There are too many to thank and I don't mean to leave any one out.

One final tribute - to Scott Schneider, wonderful gentleman whom I never met personally, but performed fair and terrific services for me on several occasions, and helped me learn a lot along the way.

Thanks to each and everyone of you on this forum who have been so terrific to associate with.

I guess I need to find a permanent solution to the pellet problems I'm having with JSB.
Now, even the FX branded JSB's I ordered in .22 25.4 Are having issues.
Not so much with the skirt or head size.
But the cavity of the skirt measures 2.33 mm (new fx) and 3mm for the supposed same FX pellet I ordered a few months ago.
There is no indication when ordering or on the tin which version you are getting. I had issues with one of my .22's shooting the jts in this weight with a shallow depth, but the deep skirt FX's were spot on. I don't know what is happening over there but I think it's time to move on. After finding ton's of screwed up looking JSB's a few years back I went with the FX rebrand and was happy about the change.
I'll test them but I was hoping the FX rebrands would keep to the older styles as all the other jsb's now aren't actually the original redesigned pellets.

Front reg 120 Back reg 90 Trying to shoot some 34 gr Knockouts. I can not get the fine tuning and adjuster knob set properly.. Going from 1 to 7 decreases velocity instead of increasing. I have tuned the fine adjuster cw and ccw in several attempts but not making it work. Any help appreciated.

Finally had enough of old Bugs and gave him the dirt nap. He's been chewing the hastas and momma said light him up next time I see him.

I was jonesin to get my 3622 out to try some 18s and see how they do. The gun has been naked for the last week since I'm finishing up the stock. I tossed it in my 2260 pcp stock so I could scratch the itch.

They didn't perform as desired, so I switched back to baracuda match 5.52s and zeroed for 35. As I was putting my stuff away, I noticed the rabbit was hanging by my kids playset about 10 yards away.

I aimed for the face as he was looking right at me, but I didn't account for the trajectory, and hit him in the throat. He did the Derp sit up and roll over like most rabbits do on a body shot.

I noticed he was gasping and not dead so I adjusted my POA and hit him in the nose and out the center of the back of his noggin.



He got a bad case of the Popeye too.

So today being My first day with a PCP Rifle, I was wondering if using 2 inline Filters will hurt or Hinder? I purchased one of those "Chiwanese" pumps and it has one small filter on it. By adding a second will it damage the Pump? I don't want to mess anything up. What say you folks that have been doing this a while? Thanks in advance.
Grant.

I was handling the DreamTac this morning and took a look at the pressure gauge on the front of the tube (sigh). No pressure. Checked the regulator pressure. 120 bar, as set. Okay. Pretty sure this means the leak is at the fill port or the front gauge. It's a bummer, but the gun is 3 years old and has operated flawlessly until now. Guess I'll fill it again tomorrow and see if I can determine the source of the leak. But maybe it's just time to tear her down, inspect and reseal. Now where did I put my replacement o-rings?

Our outdoor season is upon us and our 3rd N50 match is this Saturday. I’ve been practicing as much as time allows which is about twice a week. My first 250 card has been eluding me but I’m not giving up. My gun is much more capable than I am but I have high expectations that practice and diligence will eventually pay off. I read this forum and scores from other matches out west and it seems that 250s are the norm for many and I admire those skills from afar. I realize that 250’s don’t come by luck but it comes down to who can read the wind and time their shot releases appropriately. That is the skill set that I admire most and am working on the hardest.














This is my highest card to date, shot a couple days ago but it was only in practice, which really doesn’t count for record. Bull #15 could be a 9 too which would drop the score to a 248. Our backer board was pretty shot up and that hole got elongated.

Came across an Umarex rifle I couldn't help but click on out of confusion based curiousity. The tactical styled, collapsible stock, h/k mp7 replica in a low velocity break barrel single shot format. Under 500 fps in .177 it has little practical use or entertainment value.

What kind of strange/borderline useless stuff have you guys come across searching the web?

What are you paying for when you purchase a high-end bipod? I’ve seen some bipod cost several hundred dollars, but I’m not sure what the benefits are.

I have a new to me Stoeger X20, and I'm afraid the baffles have been damaged.
I'd like to replace them, but I don't know if the end cap of the shroud is removable, and since parts are as scarce as hens teeth, I don't want to "Bubba" it trying to get the cap off.

So if anyone has some insight to this, please chime in. I bought it on a whim and it turned out to be much better than I expected. But every once in a while, it seems that the fired pellet will clip something as it travels through the barrel, and in the worst case it even throws sparks.

I believe a .177 may have found its way into the baffles and is the root of the problem, by becoming a "bridge" between the fired pellet and the baffles.
The rifle is retired until I get this sorted out.

Thanks all!

FX Maverick Airgun​

The FX Maverick is purpose-built from the ground up with heavier pellet and slug shooting in mind. The Maverick features the largest power plenum yet on an FX rifle with the latest FX innovation, dual regulators!

The Dual FX AMP Regulators are brilliant in their concept and execution. The first regulator pre-reduces the pressure in preparation for the second regulator. This provides less stress on the second regulator and achieves a more constant output pressure with fewer standard deviations. Both AMP Regulators can be adjusted externally and should be adjusted in harmony with each other (maintaining a 30-40 BAR difference between the 1st & 2nd regulator).

The Dual Regulators work in tandem with the large 89cc Power Plenum. This large plenum, paired proportionately with the correct porting and valving, allows for a more consistent working pressure to be delivered. FX Maverick owners also have the option of picking up the FX Maverick Slug Power Kit. This kit includes a heavier hammer and slug pin probes that allow for even more power and velocities for heavier projectiles.

The Maverick utilizes the same rear power adjuster that was first introduced with the FX Wildcat MKIII. This breakthrough hammer adjuster allows for both micro and macro adjustments using the same dial which allows the Maverick to be fully adjusted in harmony with the Dual AMP Regulators for the chosen caliber and projectile.

Like all modern FX Airguns, the Maverick utilizes the world-class Smooth Twist X (STX) Interchangeable Barrel & Liner System. All FX Mavericks ship with Superior STX Standard liners, perfect for shooting pellets, hybrid slugs, and lighter weight slugs. Additional liners are available to tailor to different projectiles.

The Maverick has a more tactical body which will allow for aftermarket components to be added for further customization. All Mavericks have 20 MOA built into the picatinny scope rail, multiple picatinny accessory rails, standard AR grips and feature the rear FX buttpad. The FX Maverick has a customizable platform with the FX world-class accuracy and adjustability you have come to expect. It delivers all the accuracy and power that the FX Impact offers, but at a lower price point. The Maverick itself will remind shooters of both the FX Impact and FX Wildcat. Like a perfect blend of the two rifles, it offers the absolute best of both worlds.

Maverick Compact
Comes with 300 cc carbon fiber bottle and 500 mm barrel.
Maverick Sniper
Comes with 580 cc carbon fiber bottle and 700 mm barrel.
Maverick VP Edition
Comes with 400 cc aluminum bottle and 600 mm barrel.

Which model would you choose?
If you own one, let us know what you think!

The FX Maverick Specifications​

I swear buying Benjamin Marauders on amazon is a bad idea. I've already bought 2 supposedly "brand new" from there and they always got something wrong with it right out of the box. I swear they are fakes. Just buy it from anywhere else but Amazon

"Sub MOA all day" is a phrase I think we hear alot on this forum. Most of us take that with a grain of salt as we understand the reality of that all the time isn't realistic. This video was just posted on a thread about long distance with pellets.


It's about Sub MOA guarantees and how most manufacturers only need to shoot 1 3 shot group Sub MOA to meet their guarantee but the reality is its only one group not multiple in a row.

It got me thinking let's do a challenge.
Lets do 4 separate 5 shot groups in a row on one paper/target. Nothing else. No sighter groups or anything. 50yd minimum and whatever gun you got. If you don't have 50yds do whatever your max distance is. I know people practice EBR and do this often at 100yds but this is just for fun. See what our guns and we can do. Especially for those who aren't competition shooters. Let us know whatever gun you used and ammo and speed. Not calling anyone out at all with this, this is just a let's have fun with it and see what we can do.

I'll start with a target I did the other day. Taipan Veteran Long .22 JTS 18gr at 915fps. 50yds. I will be trying this at both 75yds and 100yds when time permits. Probably try my Evol Mini which I tuned to 12fpe at 50yds for fun.

RMAC/PYA/NAC card 250 with a lot of xs.

Thomas slug gun and new high bc slugs.

Light wind topping out at no more than 5.

This is the very first card I have shot at 100 (with these slugs). edit I shot a single 25 shot group yesterday in pretty heavy wind.

The worst shot still broke the n50 9 with the plug. The inside of the N50 9 is smaller than the RMAC 10.

A pellet that has a BB tip. Is this feasible? I feel like the knockdown power of this would be way better than any pellet tip type. Maybe i'm just ignorant. Either way, please let me know if they exist, i'd like to buy it asap. I have a junkyard full of trash I want to unleash a fury upon.

When I was trying to decide if a small Brocock was worth purchasing because I already had a FX Dreamline Tactical and was not sure how they would stack up in size as a backpack gun. I could find dimensions but not a photo comparison of the three guns.
So I am posting these photos to possibly help another prospective buyer decide what size would be right for them. There are plenty of posts on the performance stats of these guns but a visual of their comparative size would have helped me out making my decision.

DIMENSIONS ARE OPEN WITH STOCK NOT EXTENDED AND FOLDED. As you can see not a huge difference from the Dreamline.

Atomic. - 24 1/2“. And 16”

Pathfinder - 26 1/2”. And 18”

FX. - 29 1/2”. And 21 1/2”

Hello everyone, I'm a new member!

I heard a rumor that Snipe II has no equal up to 150 m.

I have heard not very good reviews about Snipe I, I don’t know how things are with the second model. I'll have it soon!

What are the main criteria for testing a rifle? What should I pay attention to first?

I'll definitely let you know!

What's the literal absolute quietest air pistol out there? I guess PCP will have to be a lot quieter than Co2 or spring.

Hey everyone new member here in Tasmania Australia im about to purchase a .25 cal fx dynamic express 700mm and just wondering what people are finding is the heaviest slug they can shoot with standard rifle , at roughly what reg pressure , velocity and shot count ?
