Well it seem people still manage to hit things with this straw barrel.
I will say i do not understand why these / any FX do not come from the factory with the carbon fiber liner installed around the straw, the O-rings work but really.
The 700 mm lower rail should be 2 MlOC holes longer and so terminate just about where it do on the 600 mm version

PS: i would trade my old Maverick in for one of these in a heartbeat, but sadly no rewards for loyal customers at FX.

PSS: I have 2 FX and have owned 2 other brand but only have 1 other brand ATM, absolutely not a fanboy, but the Maverick once sorted of its childhood problems given me much fun.

Is it me or it is
1- fairly difficult to connect the usb c cable to charge the battery
2- impossible to plug/unplug the dust cap
without removing the stock?

I think Daystate did not really think this through before coming up with the design. Their solution (a USB-C port deep down there under the stock) is not only very hard to get to, but it is also very exposed to environmental factors like water and dust (common now! is that dust cap really supposed to protect against water? Even if it does (and it is a big if), it must first stay in place. So far, I’ve already lost about a dozen (mostly the ones on the delta wolf).

For ease of use, I’ve been using a magnetic USB-C adapter like this

Is there a better solution that would seal the port against water/dust and be easy to use at the same time?

I was doing 6 on PW, but using Phil's Parts now, and just run velocity 925-930, Reg 120 psi NSA 26.8

I hear you. As you said, they are good for newbies, but I never really look at them myself. As a normal thread, the ones that keep rising to the top as obviously "hot". I was wondering if it was just me.

Interesting. I didn't know such a person could exist. So, I am hijacking my own thread, but what DOES peek your interest? Shooting tips, hunting, ??

Nice shooting and close to home, beats doing lawn work any day.

Pardon me, I'm sure it is something having to do with airguns but "Nu Aira" ?
Thank you,

So far, 100% of my Weihrauch .22 cals have been inaccurate, ranging from so-so to unusable. It's too bad, since I like the .22 caliber by far the best, as per loading, shot cycle, muzzle report & terminal ballistics, just as much as I find the .177 cal lacking in each. I've had zero trouble with .22 cal barrels in Dianas and Walthers, for comparison.

I like my solo .20 cal springer, but I can only get one type of .20 cal pellet without ordering them abroad, with all the cost and difficulty that entails, incl. customs officers opening the tins due to lack of X ray penetration, rolling their fingers inside for contraband, and then barely closing the lids. If the hypothetical .20 cal Weihrauch didn't like Exacts (many don't), it'd be a real pain.

Outstanding!

If you have a Sheridan Silver Streak that has a date of manufacture of 1977, 1978, 1979, or 1980 can you please post photos of your guns.
I am looking for a full length shot of the guns left side, a 3/4 shot of the guns left side, to include the rocker safety and rear sight, and a close up of the serial number.

Thank you.

Gotcha. Reminds me, I need a larger gun smithing lathe!

Looking good. I look forward to seeing the results of your project.

It was the biggest I could find without rewiring my garage for a true 3 phase panel. Still a 3 phase lathe but with a built in converter.

That is one fine gun you got there! The rabbit hole is indeed deep!

From my experience, the hammer pin may be loose/warn. The hammer pin is rather soft and when cycling the hammer with a heavy hammer spring (and the disco spring is heavy) the pin will slightly deform causing problems with cocking the bolt back. I would say switch just the pin out and see if that helps. If it does, buy a hardened hammer pin or a lighter spring. Hope this helps.

Will do

If you know the dimensions of the spring, you can use a spring calculator to compute the strength.
Here is a link to one of many found online

Hope this helps

Thank you

My FX Dreampup is my go to. It’s a quiet, 50ftlb tack driver that is very light and comfortable to carry or shoulder.

I raised the adjustable cheek piece on my Marauder, and it is a lot better. I had extra tall rings on it, which also created the problem. The thicker reticle is nice.

If you are looking for Leshiy 1 350mm barrels, Airgun Heaven has them. They don’t have .35 or .177, but they have the ol’ Dirty .30 Cal !

Hi Guys,
Did some checking on the schematics. The DRS uses the same barrel tubes, STX liners, o-rings (or CF Sleeve) and liner lock nut as the Panthera/Dynamic/King/ Impact. You would need a new liner, CF sleeve, and Liner lock nut for your specific caliber and length. The only barrel parts that are DRS specific are the barrel inlet (caliber specific) and the Shroud (called Tube xxx mm DRS) which are length specific.

Bagnal and Kirkwood have the barrel inlets and Europe Airguns has the tubes. So, FX isn't providing a kit, but you can certainly build one.

Cheers,
Greg

i bought the same one not long ago it works good for what it is i will say the legs have positive locks and you can adjust the spring tension
on the legs for a firmer lock, it's nice to pest with as its very lite vs my accu tac brick but build quality accu tac but 400 bipod vs 20 isn't a fair comparison.

Agreed, but if you squint real hard they are brothers
