    FX FX Royale 400 syn on ebay

    I don't have it in my cart or even on my watchlist, but I have considered buying it. When I had two of them, I loved them, but decided to go the way of the Crown and when I sold mine, I had, and let go with them, many, many parts and mags. If I had saved the parts, that thing would not be for...

    PCP Rifle Old style Brocock magazines in 22

    I need some old style BRK Sniper 22 mags. I'd take almost anything that works, but would like a factory mag also.

    FX Crown/Dreamline magazine questions

    I'm pretty much relegating the fox mags to on the shelf duty. I measured the opening in both guns and both are exactly 15.2mm, so barrel protrusion is the difference. The mags function fairly well but hiccup once in a while and I'm guessing the DL barrel needs pushed in a bit and the Crown...

    Tuning Tuning regulator - can you have a reg set too low?

    Yes, there's a bit of truth to that, but a barrel/pellet combo will, in most cases, yield several "ideal" tunes. Think of tunes as ranges of fpe or velocity. The harmonics of a barrel, for instance, can be on several nodes, it's not just one single node that magically works. kind of like a sine...

    FX FX Royale 400 syn on ebay

    Not mine, if I wanted one, which they are like hen's teeth. That is one of, if not, THE easiest guns to service. $800 is a great price, and that's $800 to your door!!! Now, finding mags can be a bit challenging, but like aliens, they're out there. There was a couple in the classifieds now.

    PCP Rifle WTT/WTS Huma Reg for Cricket and 2 seal kits

    I have two seal kits and a brand new Huma reg for Kalibrgun Cricket, any model of original Cricket bullpup or carbine. I no longer need, so make me an offer. Couple of tins of pellets would be nice.

    Tuning Tuning regulator - can you have a reg set too low?

    Your last paragraph is dead nuts on. There is a proper reg setting that works for a given pellet. I know with FX rifles there really is not a bottom reg setting per se, but it comes down to what the pellet likes. I've shot my Crown down to 60 bar with 177 pellets, with good success. I've gone...

    Tuning ES, tell me if I'm wrong ... did I miss something?

    I approach it a bit differently. First, I get decide on a velocity, ie 890 for a 18gr 22 pellet. I tune my gun to shoot as low an es as I can, then I test at the distance I'm looking at shooting, ie 100 yards. If groups are good, I'm done. If not, then i start moving the velocity around, retune...

    Tuning ES, tell me if I'm wrong ... did I miss something?

    I'm always doing some reading online and found several "experts" crowing about how airgunners are too focused on extreme spread in pcp airguns. One advocated a 25fps es, as excellent, another 40fps es as being the holy grail. The gist was that it makes absolutely no difference. Got me to...

    Brocock/BRK Brocock Commander XR Vs. XR Magnum

    I have both a std and magnum 22 Snipers, and the difference is a bit more than 15fps. I have my std tuned to shoot 16gr pellets at ~900fps and the mag shoot 18gr at ~920 fps. My std is tuned near the top and my mag is tuned somewhat lower than it will go, and I don't know the full out top end...

    Coyotes are smarter than coons!

    You are so right. We have visits regularly from yotes, and they are some of the cagiest animals ever. I have a dead rabbit hide that we put on a wireless magnetic wobbler to entice them out into the open on the edge of the woods at night. We hide in a blind probably 50ish yards away and somehow...

    Vevor compressor… the magic smoke came out!

    I haven't looked at the Vevor, but I would think you could eliminate the internal ps altogether and use an external, which are easy to find and cheap.

    O Ring sizer

    I tried that picture taking app a few times and it was pretty accurate. Good lighting, and good picture taking is the key, but it worked well. I would have to do it a few times and get the same size to feel comfortable ordering. BUT, I have sworn off any airgun that does not publish sizes. I...

    Any guns you regret buying"

    Two rifles come to mind, and it will surprise a lot of people. To be honest, these two just didn't flip my switch, and a lot of people really like them....just not for me. First, AA HFT500, I actually tried this gun twice, thinking it would grow on me, but it didn't. It looks good, checks a lot...

    FX Crown/Dreamline magazine questions

    I have a Crown and DL tactical, and got some QD Fox mags on trade. The factory mags work fine in both rifles, no problems at all. The Fox mags work in the Crown and are a solid tight fit. But the DT is another story, they will try to fall out when cycling the bolt. The DT seems to have a much...
