    FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

    Regarding Halo SLUGS, all I'm hoping for is a projectile that expands so rapidly that the slug-- A. does not pass through raccoons. B. facilitate extremely rapid bleed out. C. will expand at lower velocities as to remain QUIET when used in my Impact, Maverick, and hopefully a future Sidewinder.

    Check out this FX M3 Clone

    My "TOOLS" are just that. I buy QUALITY from reputable dealers who truly back their stock. I take care of them. adjust them to my needs, only make necessary modifications and use them for pests and enjoyment. I'm for rubber grips and parts and pieces that stand up to a little weather, abrasion...

    FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

    I like the name "Phantoms". I have to be a phantom, here, there and gone. Every spring and summer I get 2 to 4 liters of raccoons walking my 6' fence making a 90 deg. turn and headed to our animal feeder lady 3 places down. I really want that Phantom pellet and the sidewinder for 2 very...

    Got him👊

    I began wrapping a wire around the bait's neck then swirched and began pushing the wire between the rear leg tendon and the bone on my dead rabbit bait. that slows them down some more. At least you have one neighbor who understands yotes and coons are not cute and cuddly but are wild and...

    Iron molds hold heat more evenly survive falls and drops better. brass heats faster than iron. Aluminum heats quickly. I prefer Iron but I'm 73 and don't like change much.

    If you can start over knowing what you know now, what Rifle and caliber would you buy.

    Somehow I feel you would prefer a Diana 350 magnum brake barrel with the air spring and piston in .22. But if you want a pcp MY preference is FX bobcat 400cc metal tube air reservoir side lever cocking with good capicity magazine, a power wheel adjustment. But My favorite is the Maverick. It...

    This is what and Airgun should look like and weigh…IMO, what do you think? I just added pictures that show the process if you’re interested.

    the care with which it was built is evident. I appreciate anything done with care. All that matters is that you put your effort into the gun, it looks great and I've no doubt it works well. So I appreciate it and you for all the care and work you put into it.GBGUNNER

    Any thoughts on a FX semi-auto?

    I have been waiting for an FX semi auto since 2015. I'm not interested in full auto. But I find I could sure use a semi auto for raccoons and feral dogs and cats and coyotes. My yard is not a wide open space. It is filled with machines, bushes, trees, old farm sheds and new metal sheds. I get...

    What do you consider long distance with .22cal airgun?

    TODD from my view I consider you and your gun a long range shooter, with head shots which you and the gun are capable of it's a game getter. Until pcp came along 50 yds was hunting distance. With a .22 lr rimfire 100 yds was always considered to be long range. On the farm we tried it often...

    Ricochet sounds after contact

    the sound a ricochet makes is because the projectile becomes deformed and begins spinning in a way that is a high pitches buzz, Passing through an animal after striking a bone or cartilage deforms the projectile. If a hollow point deforms by simply passing through meat it can sound like a...

    Which of these airguns suites your style?

    badger5th are you saying that air rifles are were not modeled on all the muskets and rifles produced previously. MY FIRST SINGLE SHOT .22 RIM FIRE HAD ALL BLACK BARREL AND ACTION WITH A WOOD STOCK. It was given to me at age 8, I'm 73 now. Or are you saying the AR 15 is the 1st only 1st true...

    Which of these airguns suites your style?

    I suspect someone is searching for a contest give away gun. Perhaps without realizing the large majority of us prefer the standard BLACK air gun. Look at all the powder burners sold since 1860, then look at the majority of air rifles which are designed and sold based on all those powder...

    FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

    These are not musket balls nor are they mini balls so they must be BULLETS. We used to try and put flat round metal disks into vending machines. THEY were slugs. Some brass, others steel but they never worked. Don't look down a gift gun barrel.
