    FX Angled pic rail

    I have two fX guns. FX angles the pic rail, like, 20 MOA. Even on the lower powered guns. This a real pain if you have a less expensive or mid range value scope. The scope typically does not have enough adjustment to overcome the 20 moa. I could see this on the higher power guns to shoot...

    FX Crown broke down

    Okay, the fix according to Utah Airguns is as follows: 1. remove the tank 2. Degas the gun turning reg screw counter clockwise 3. Above the breach in the pic rail is a screw, remove it. 4. Stick a small allen wrench down the hole to contact the stuck pellet. 5 push the pellet downward...

    FX Crown broke down

    The point is that I can't get the barrel out. It is stuck from the distorted pellet in the port. I fear damaging something pulling the barrel with all the pressure it would take to pull it.

    FX Crown broke down

    The jamed pellet in the port is not coming out so far. I am wondering if I could shoot it out. If I turned my gun way up and dry fired it would that mean the air is coming in from under the pellet and maybe shove it upwards out of the port? If not I guess I am just going to have to pull on...

    FX Crown broke down

    YEP, Scotty1 appears to be correct in that there is a pellet in the port. It seems to be the fact as now the barrel will not come out. Before I do it I have to ask.... is there any choice I have other than just pull it hard enough that it breaks something loose. AND, if so am i possibly going...

    FX Crown broke down

    I have had my Crown for a couple months now and shot about 1000 rounds through it. Loving it as far as feel, accuracy and power goes. Today I filled it with tank pressure at 210 and Reg. at 135. after removing a stuck pellet by removing the barrel. I have a bad mag and by mistake tried to...

    FX Rotating Crown MKll barrel

    I am curious if any of you can tell me the effect of rotating my Crown MKll 500mm barrel 180 degrees off the small port to the larger port. I am wondering what the change would be in FPS and or accuracy. I assume someone has tried it?

    FX FX Crown .22 Stuck Pellet and MAG.

    yes it is a MKll with the light barrel. No harm in trying with the barrel removed . I quit and now am back. I did remove the barrel and was able to get the mag out as well as clear the barrel so all is well again. Thanks.

    FX FX Crown .22 Stuck Pellet and MAG.

    I double loaded it... as I have done before... but easily cleared. This time the mag will not come out. I am guessing the only option is to still attempt to drive it out from the front unless removing the barrel will let the mag release. I am not usre how the end of the barrel is made at the...

    FX Crown FPS confustion

    I really hate to post again as I have gotten so much information from you guys and am sure I look totally incompetent. I received my new Crown last week and love the feel, look, trigger etc. It came with a card from the dealer showing they had fired it and it is shooting 880 fps with 18.1...

    FX What is a new Crown MK2 22/500 factory settings

    I am not mechanically inclined and really hate to take the stock off and do thing internally in fear of just screwing it up. But with that said I may well have to in order to just get to 900.

    FX What is a new Crown MK2 22/500 factory settings

    Thank you, I was concerned about the wheel going either dirrection. After I increase the reg to 130, if that does not get me around 900 I wil for sure flip the barrel. Anther basic quesiton on the same topic. When increasing the reg from the 100 or so to 130 do I need to remove the tank. I...

    FX What is a new Crown MK2 22/500 factory settings

    It is pellet. As you can see I am no where near 900 with the 18.1's. Yes the power wheel is functioning correctly as best I can tell, with appropriate drops when I loweer the settings. The gun is of course new but I did expect near 900 with both wheels maxed out. I am hopeful that turning...

    AEA So, aea? I'm going to do it anyway.

    I have a Pro which has good build quality, shoots good, worlds of power, good trigger, etc. BUT.... it is purely a bench gun as it is just too heavy and poorly balanced to lug around hunting. Sadly I had never seen one in person so had no reference on balance and general use. My summary is...
