    Hatsan Hatsan Warranty Useless

    In Spain, that's the most normal thing. You buy from a gun shop or physical store and pray that your unit doesn't come with some catastrophic failure as a gift. Gun shops wash their hands of it; there's no stop on spare parts, and as soon as you call the seller twice for help, they block you so...

    Tuning Ft/lb vs pellet weight

    It doesn't rely on a single standard pellet weight, but rather it is calculated based on the specific weight of the pellet being used at that time.Energy measured in ft/lb (foot-pounds) is a measure of kinetic energy. It indicates how much force is transferred to the target when a projectile...

    FX FX King/Dynamic/Panthera Saber Tactical chassis weight

    I have the King .22 - 600 mm with a Sabell chassis, honestly it is quite heavy to hold in your hand and even more so if we are walking while hunting. I installed the chassis because the weapon would be destined for exclusive use in BR and for that it is fine.

    Caliber change and necessary parts Fx King .22 to .177. I have a Fx King in .22 and a 600 mm barrel and I would like to change it to .177 while keeping the same barrel length and although I have seen several videos online on how to make the change,It's not entirely clear to me. Looking for the...

    Gamo Don't underestimate Gamo!

    King out of home, I'm writing to you from Spain and I can assure you that here they are, along with Hatsan, the worst you can buy. You only have to go to any Spanish forum and you'll see that when people talk about them, it's to say how bad they are and the problems they have. If you got a good...

    Say hello. What state or country are you from?

    Hello everyone, I'm sure no one has heard of the Canary Islands. I'm from Gran Canaria, and even fewer have been here. Here's a satellite photo. Geographically, we're close to Africa, but we're not African. The islands belong to Spain due to colonization.

    Pellet Testing?

    In a perfect environment, where everything is under control, everything would be idyllic. The reality is very different. We don't all have a laboratory where we can test our ammunition. Personally, I believe that testing and rehearsing should be done in an environment as similar as possible to...

    Pellet Testing?

    1) Do you clean the barrels between each brand of shot if you test with different brands? Absolutely yes, different brands, different lead. 2) Do you clean them when testing with different weights? If they're the same brand, no, different brands, yes. 3) Or do you fire 3 or 4 shot to foul the...

    Up or down.

    1st - I start the adjustment with a low regulator, 75 bar, and the macro position at number 13, which is recommended by FX. I don't use a stopwatch for this step. 2nd - I shoot three times at the same point. I'm looking for precision, single-hole shooting. I'm not looking for speed at this...

    Up or down.

    I only shoot pellets. I don't have any place to shoot, except at the shooting club. The only one where I live has a large gallery that is 50 meters long and is shared with all the shooters.Since it's a short distance for slugs, I'm using the 18g/15.89g JSBs, and I also agree that the King's...

    Up or down.

    To adjust my PCP rifles, I've always followed the methodology discussed and recommended many times on this forum, and honestly, it's worked for me. Since it worked for me, today I was at the club explaining this methodology to a shooter, and together we got the rifle working properly. So far, so...

    Lube or not to lube video

    Lubricating pellets can be beneficial for some shooters, but it's not a universal solution. Experimentation is key to determine if it improves. This is helpful if you've washed your pellets, or perhaps for older ones that show signs of rust. It's better to buy good quality pellets and spend...

    do match grade pellts really shot that better?

    There are no competition pellets (outside of the 10-meter Olympic range). It's a matter of finding different brands, different weights, different speeds, different batches, and doing a lot of testing and taking a lot of notes. When you find a pellet that your barrel likes, try matching the...

    POI change with temperature?

    The short answer is yes, this is primarily due to the expansion and contraction of different materials in the rifle and scope as they heat up or cool down. Temperature also affects air density. At colder temperatures, the air is denser, causing the bullet to fall harder, while at warmer...

    The price is the same as in Spain, the regulator seals come all installed, in an attached support (a screw) you get the Bella-Ville washers, it also comes with a bag with some lubricant, it also contains the O-ring that is installed in the body, that is, the kit is plug and play.

    FX FX Crown regulator problem

    If the gaskets are the same for both, buy some extra small gaskets, as they usually break when installed.
