    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I think with the medium plenum it should be no problem at 20fpe. With the sub 12 ftlb plenum you will probably have to increase the reg pressure and hammer spring tension so that the rifle will react very nervously and your shot count will drastically decrease. I would definitely go for the HP...

    Just to mention... I recently received an email from Krale that the filler plug from the first batch of DRS may no longer be used and that they would send a new one on Monday...but no explanation why. However, after checking, I quickly found out what the problem could be. Because this is a...

    Extensively tuned this evening... rifle now does 274 m/s or 899 fps with the 18 grain. shot count is 49!!! and pellets start to drop with a cylinder pressure of 75 bar. I suspect that the reg pressure will be about 80 bar and those extra shots are the result of the large plenum that does not...

    Nono, the 3 screws in the package are not too short, it is just you need 4 of them :ROFLMAO: Those longer screws on the picture are from the smaller plenum

    Finally received the large DRS plenum (sph) today. The next problem is that the angled manometer bracket that is now for sale as an accessory for the M3 does not fit completely. The supplied screws are too long and the recess provided for the M3 is in principle not necessary. So I suspect that a...

    We have thought of this, turning the original screw with a 5 mm hexagon and the set-screw with a 6 mm. So hammer spring tension is easy to adjust without removing any screw (y);)

    I also was thinking that! I know that HuMa is following this closely....perhaps:cool: For now I ordered a big FX plenum, although visually I think this is a bit too big, especially with a walnut stock. Does anyone know what the volume is of the three plenums that FX offers?

    Next problem solved... The fact that the hammer spring screw is so loose has made a friend and fellow shooter me a wonderful solution. He turned a screw himself on the lathe that now serves as a counter to the original screw. It is now very easy to adjust the hammer spring without it turning...

    Nice, but unforgivable those first 2 shots(n)

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    We will have more data available when we have the large plenum with a manometer, so I can also easily read the reg pressure. I could possibly do this now, I currently have an 1/8" manometer who is unemployed at this moment:ROFLMAO: Within about four weeks I normally have that large plenum...

    Me too, FX is always fun tuning :ROFLMAO: I don't think they will supply a new block to me, how many rifles would that first batch be! If it is only this that has been adjusted, I can live with it. In the meantime, I have made a nice appointment with Sekhmet for the delivery of an M8x1...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I have a comparable problem, Yesterday evening I tuned the drs for the 16 grain pellets ( as long I have not recieved the big plenum) and it was spot on 885 FPS. This afternoon I shot once agian over the chrony... first shot = 918 FPS, second =905 FPS and third... was 885 FPS I thougth if...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I got an answer from FX regarding the thread manometer: @thommytom Hi I have reached out to the factory to ask for some clarification on this . It seems due to very tight spaces the first batch of DRS rifles was indeed made with M8x1 threads. Afterwards they made it work and changed it back to...

    Do they know it themselfs? :ROFLMAO: I asked in the YT FX channel and even Matt Dubber's channel. FX replied in the YT channel; Hi, are you sure the Sekmeth has the correct threads as we haven't changed anything on our size when it comes to thread thickness.:oops:
