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

    Hi, I think bchannell's advice will get you in the right ballpark. However, there are a couple of things you might want to check first. I own two Crown MkII's, one bought new and one bought used. The new one was bought almost two years ago as a 500mm .177. It came without a separate hammer...

    FX New M4 177

    Hi, Not an expert on the M4, but have done a lot of tuning on other FX airguns. I expect you are way off a good tune. Depending on the pellet, you should have a desired range of velocities you want to reach. For instance, the folks shooting .177 13.4gr pellets (JSB, Air Arms, FX) on the...

    FX Learning to tune new Crown MK2

    Sounds like you hit on a really good tune. What velocity were you getting and at what range was the target? The best source for how to tune a Crown when you are trying new pellet weights or calibers is a video by Sub12Airgunners (I will attach below). While Geoff is tuning a Sub12 ft-lb...

    FX FX King 177

    Mark, I bought a King in .22 with a 500mm barrel early this year. I could never get it to shoot .22 pellets worth a darn. It shot the FX Hybrids really well (at about 1050 fps, also the Zan heavier .22 slugs). To get it to shoot the 18.1 JSB pellets I put in a lighter hammer weight and...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys, Shot this card the other day but just now getting to posting it. A 199-12X with the good ole FX Crown Mk II Green Mountain. Just 1 shot better than my best this year, but I will take it. Might have to try tomorrow to match Ed's run with his Daystar:)! Cheers, Greg Leaderboard...

    FX Crown MK2 177cal barrel kit

    I have been very successful in Hunter Class Field Target shooting a Crown Mk II with a 500mm .177 Superlight Barrel. I would be much more successful if I could ever learn to shoot offhand. It is certainly not the rifle that is keeping me off the podium🙄. Cheers, Greg

    FX fx crown .22 500mm normal reg pressure

    Hi, My Crown Mk II with a 500mm .22 barrel shoots the 18.1 gr pellets great! My settings for an Ave MV of 868 fps with 2.3 SD and 8 ES are: - Reg pressure to 117 bar - Internal Hammer Spring (IHS) adjuster sticking out of the carrier by 4 mm - Transfer Port Wheel to Medium - Power Wheel to 15...

    Optisan CP 4-16x40 FFP for HFT

    Hi, Just my 2 cents, but I think you will be disappointed with a 16x scope. Not sure where you will be shooting HFT but my experience (as a relatively newbie compared to many on this forum) that many matches are shot in heavily treed areas - meaning lots of dark shadows. Most scopes tend to...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys! It has been a while since I shot any Challenge cards as I have been concentrating on Field Target. I have done pretty well there this year (and I say shooting these targets has helped me), but my wind calls need work. So today is kind of blustery with 6-8 mph winds with gusts to...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Tommy, Sorry for the confusion. As Smok3y said the case was for "Match Grade" 8.4 gr pellets. I just liked the case and the fit with the 13.4gr was good once I glued a piece of foam into the top (to better hold the longer skirts). By the way, I tested the "Match Grade" 8.4 gr pellets...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Tommy, For what it is worth I did a lot of testing comparing the "trash cans" to the RD's and found the "trash cans" consistently more accurate in my Crowns. That said, I would get occasional flyers with both. I don't sort or weigh the pellets, but as you do I separate out any obviously...

    Ed, Sorry about Hoover. I always think of it as the end of an era when a great dog passes. They are joy and love machines who make our lives better. Congrats to both Becky and you! She must be a good sport to put up with you and all of your "big boy" toys! Cheers, Greg

    FX PCP Airgun Tuning - Why would the FPS go down when increasing the Hammer Spring at a constant reg pressure.

    Hi SOTL, As a few others have stated the hammer spring tension and reg pressure is a balancing act. If you start with a low reg pressure and a middle hammer string tension the hammer with overdrive the valve and you will have a large valve opening and a high dwell time. That combination...

    Hi Guys, I haven't posted in a while as I have not been shooting as much as usual. Lots of company including kids and grand kids. Which is good of course! The only drawback is both daughters-in-law are adamant anti-gun (and don't know what an air-rifle is). So to keep the peace my wife...
