    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    Oh ok I thought I read on AOA that the standard had the Lothar Walther Polygonal barrel as well, must have read it wrong. Regardless the gun is a tack driver and I've tried Zan .217 25gr and Hybrids, both shot pretty good. I think if the gun was running magnum velocities it would shoot them even...

    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    I thought the standard XR version had a polygonal in it too. I could also be wrong though.

    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    PEP3 was saying the magnum runs about 15 foot pounds more than the standard not 15 feet per second. Your guns are running at about 29 and 34 foot pounds the way you have them tuned. So if the 15 fpe higher holds true then your magnum should have quite a bit more power left in the tank. I’m...

    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention the longer barrel. Really didn't think that 5'' of barrel would give you that much more velocity. In some of my other guns that I'm able to replace the barrels on I get a good jump in velocity, but not that much. Also that's a crazy price difference for a longer...

    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    Does anyone know the difference? I've searched quite a bit with no luck of getting an actual comparison, I've even seen where guys asked the same question but no real answer. Hoping someone familiar with both rifles can chime in. I assume the magnum comes with larger porting, higher reg pressure...

    Little love for the Commander XR! Good looking gun, disregard the cheap bipod!

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Thank you very much for the video I will watch it when I get time. I wonder why they’re running the way they do. The way I got it it’s obviously dumping way more air than it should. Seems like something is out of whack.

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Nope I just know it’s part of the hammer, I don’t know exactly how the valve in this gun works. I do know if the way I got the gun is it working in its optimal state than that’s a shame. It’s louder than my Aea hp varmint making twice the power. Also with the spring changes I made the hammer...

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Man I’ve almost pulled the trigger on one of the older brococks multiple times. Wish I would have so I could compare. Again this gun is very nice in every way possible, I really have no complaints. However the is not what I’d call a quiet gun or real smooth shot cycle. My FX Streamline in 22...

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    I can’t locate my dial calipers at the moment so this ain’t exact. My factory spring is about 1/4” ID 3/8” OD 2” long The spring setup that I cobbled together from stuff I have laying around is nothing like the factory spring, but will work until I get the correct springs. Id guess you’re...

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Nope no noticeable air leaking anywhere. I think it’s just a poor choice for a hammer spring, and I’m sure plenty people have had problems with it. I got it now to where there’s almost zero bounce, shot cycle sounds way better too.

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Yeah I’m hoping he will chime in on this. Not sure the date of manufacture, it’s an xr model so it can’t be real old. I assume it has the o-rings from the factory still in it. Nothing noticeable as far as o rings go, a reseal isn’t a bad idea but she does seem to be doing good as far as that...

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Ok so I figured out the issue. The spring in the gun does work as a slingshot, however the spring is too soft to keep from loading back up when the hammer rebounds. Since I bought the gun used I don’t know if this is the factory spring or not, I assume it is though. Digging through my spring...

    Brocock/BRK Commander XR hammer bounce

    Hello fellow airgunners, hope all is well! So I bought a brocock commander off the classifieds last week, I’ve wanted a brocock for a while now and pulled the trigger. Great rifle, almost no complaints! I noticed first shot that it sounded like it was waisting a ton of air and it seemed like it...

    FX Streamline regulator

    It really is. I’d love to have the modularity of the dreamline, but really the streamline is about perfect. Just a rock solid gun!

    FX Streamline regulator

    I figured it out from Ernest’s video but you explained it better, thank you! I was going to go with the huma so I could get a plenum spacer for it. Huma says it really ups your power. That’s the only reason though, the factory fx reg has been excellent. The gun can sit for a week and it’s dead...

    FX Streamline regulator

    Thanks Gerry all I saw on YouTube was for a dreamline, didn’t think to search for a royale. Yeah a huma is on the list just not real high up at the moment.

    FX Streamline regulator

    How do I adjust this regulator? I’ve only messed with huma regs and they’re self explanatory. Thank you, Beau
