FX bottle sizes

I'm curious if the 400cc aluminum bottle on the DYNAMIC VP is the same diameter as the 480cc CF bottle. If i buy a VP will the same bottle mounted shoulder pad fit my current cf bottle? I'm guessing they're interchangeable but don't want to find out the hard way if im wrong.
Would a 580 be too long in the back?
Appreciate any info.
Thanks

Newb need advise on scope ring height

So I need to purchase some scope rings for my new toys, FX Maverick Sniper combined with an Element Helix scope. Every other scope I’ve ever received always came with one and I accepted the ring mount height. So now that I need to get one is there a lot of difference in the manufacturer and quality? Especially from the same manufacturer, because there sure are differences in price. Am I wrong in thinking that the taller height would give my neck a break looking thru so I don’t have to cock my head too much over rifle?

Newbe question on scopes?

I guess I’m at a big disadvantage starting off in this sport. I’m a very nearsighted always wearing glasses, Right handed with an left dominant eye. With that in mind, ffp or sfp or would it matter? Are some scopes better than others in finding a target thru the lens quicker? Does the mm rating or the diameter, length of the scope body make a difference? Magnification? My goal is to become decent at 100 yds. and longer. I have a fx maverick sniper 30 cal, setting it up for slugs. Any thoughts or suggestions would be truly helpful and appreciated for scope selection. Oh yea less than 1k or my wife will kill me.

24 Joules

Hi y'all. I am new to air rifles, I'm a semi auto shotgun user but due to a very short and limited hunting season here in spain on designated hunting grounds, namely october to february and only on thursdays, saturdays, sundays and public holidays, Having permission on quite a lot of private land, and in order to not attract the attention of the authorities I decided to buy an air rifle, I bought a Hatsan 6.35 calibre (.25 in old money) 24 joules breakbarrel, scope, sound moderater etc. In the UK being over the legal limit of 16.7 joules this would require a full firearms licence. Anyway my point, is there any way to 'Tune it up', example get more power from it than the 24 joules it already produces..? It does feel powerful already and can stick a solid open point slug a good inch into a builders plank from around 40 yards, but would just like a bit more from it.

I have recently bought a FX Maverick Sniper .22 and I am wondering if you guys have some basic tunes I could try. I am using the Smooth Twist X Barrel for now. I ordered the following pellets:
  • JSB Jumbo Heavy .22 |18.13 gr​

  • JSB Jumbo Monster Redesigned .22 | 25.39 gr​

  • JSB KnockOut Slugs .22 | 25.39gr | .216​

  • JSB KnockOut Slugs .22 | 25.39gr | .217​

  • H&N Slug HP .22 Cal | 21 gr | .217​

  • H&N Slug HP .22 Cal | 21 gr | .218​

  • H&N Baracuda .22 | 18.13gr​


Any recommendations for specific tunes for these pellets would be great. I am new to FX airguns and thought I could maybe save some time.​


Thank you!

Depressurizing AirForce Talon SS

AGN Members,

I added a Altaros Regulator from TalonTunes to my Talon SS. I need to readjust Regulator . In order to do this I have to remove it. How do I depessurize the tank? With 2000+ Psi I am a bit edgy on doing this. (AirForce Say's DO NOT dry fire) Loosen explosion disc screw a bit or slowly unscrew Top Hat valve from Regulator til it leaks slowly ?
BTW, Without the regulator I was getting 790-830 FPS Power wheel set at #8. I set the Altaros to 125 BAR now getting 640 FPS. Small change increase (650 FPS) at #10. Another Problem is My YH now shows 3000 Psi and the Talon only 2000 Psi, Altaros 140 BAR. Any knowledge on these questions greatly appreciated.

Bill

Does anyone know anything about the gun?

This has come off a UK forum, it’s made in the USA, I’ve no idea how it works or idea who made it. Can anyone here enlighten me?

Weird looking critter! 😂

Edit: it’s the paler one that’s probably more confusing. At least the dark one has a side lever. 😂😂😂

FX  Impact M3 velocity drops 100 fps after sitting over night then takes 20 shots before it returns back to 990fps. Reg pressure unchanged during process.

My M3 performed flawlessly for the first several months after I purchased it (except for a reg creep issue that was resolved after replacing the regulator). I was using it about 2 days per week during these firs several months. I had it tuned to 1/2” groups at 50 yards with the 2nd reg at 150bar and velocity at 990fps +/- 5fps.

And every time I took it out it was dialed in. But I did noticed that whenever I took it out after it had been sitting for a day or two that the first 3-4 shots were a bit slow, maybe 10-20 fps slower than where it had been the last session (990fps). The first 3 shots would be something like 970, 980, 990. I read that this is normal since it can take a few shots for the regs to “wakeup” and settle.

I took a break from shooting during the past 2 months. I did not make any changes to the gun doing this time. It just sat in its case.

The other day I took it out to shoot. I took out the half used container of Javelin slugs that I had been using the last time I had shot it - when everything was working perfectly. I checked to make sure that the reg pressure, valve and hammer were all set to where they were they had been when the gun was dialed in at 990fps. The first 5 shots were around 940. Over the course of 20 shots the velocity eventually climbed to 990. I thought maybe this was normal for a gun that had been sitting for 2 months.

I took 10 a minute break, then went back to shooting. The first shot was 960, then over the course of 10 shots it climbed back to 990. This is not how it behaved before. If I had taken a 10 minute break 2 months ago, there would be no change in velocity

The next day I took the gun out again and the first shot was 930fps. 15 more shots and it’s back up to 990.

Any ideas guys?


UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED

SOLUTION(S):

I did several things, all addressing the issue of friction on the valve rod. I made all of these changes at the same time because I didn’t want to disassemble the rifle, make a change, reassemble, let the gun sit overnight, test, then repeat the process for each change. As a result I’m not sure which change had the most significant effect on resolving the issue, but all of these changes could only help resolve this problem in the present and prevent it from happening again as quickly in the future.

For reference here’s a link to the FX Impact M3 schematic:
https://fxairguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/F10370-Impact-M3.pdf

I disassembled the gun down to the valve rod and on the 2 inch section that slides in and out of the Valvetube End (part 10338) there was a grippy grey residue. This was from the o-ring (part 19768, O-ring 2.84x2.62 PUR90) in the valvetube wearing away onto the valve rod, perhaps due to just normal use, not enough lube being applied at the factory, o-ring shrinking overtime - likely multiple reasons.

I did several things to reduce valve rod friction. I did more than necessary. Most people experiencing valve rod friction could likely fix it by cleaning and lightly lubing the valve rod with silicone oil.

What I did is excessive, but in the long term may require less frequent maintenance:
  • CLEANED the valve rod with rubbing alcohol
  • POLISHED the valve rod using a polishing compound and microfiber cloth to polish the valve rod until it had a shinny mirror-like finish. Took about 10 minutes. I used Flitz Multi-Purpose Polish and Cleaner, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MUSOW4
  • LUBED the VALVE ROD with silicone oil.
  • UPGRADED THE VALVETUBE so that it has a PEEK SPACER/BUSHING inside the valvetube next to the o-ring (part 19768). The valvetube that comes stock on the M3 doesn’t have a threaded end that allows it to be removed so that the two o-rings inside the valvetube can be easily accessed. It was difficult to replace the 2 o-rings inside the valvetube. The stock valvetube also doesn’t have a high strength spacer/bushing to support the sealing function of o-ring 19768. The peek bushing also ensures that there isn’t any metal-on-metal contact between the valve rod and the valvetube. For these reasons I purchased a custom valvetube from AGN member mubhaur which has these features. He explains the rational for his design in the video below.
After these changes, when the gun sits overnight, not even first shot is slow. The fps is exactly what it was when I last shot. Velocity is also more consistent. Fps spread used to be +/- 6fps. Now it’s +/- 2.

As described in the original post, before these changes the first 20 shots would be slow: starting at 100 fps slow and gradually increasing with each shot. And if the gun sat for just 10 minutes the fps would drop by 30 fps.

Yong Heng vs Tuxing Double Cylinder

Hi,

My Yong Heng is almost 4 years old and its dying. However I am looking at the Tuxing Double(twin) Cylinder just the standard model since I got all the filters already from my Yong Heng.

Does anyone know if the Double Cylinder model is more reliable then the Yong Heng for filling a 7 liter tank? Does it fill faster than a Yong Heng due the design? My Yong Heng served me well but it is so damn loud. I considered a dive compressor aswell but thats a bit out of my budget.

Talking about this model :
