    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    I just dropped it off with them today. They have a tech that comes in when they need him. They have a great little shop. I arrived to find the shop was closed unannounced online ( it’s an hour and a half drive for me I call the number on the door and one of the owners left his regular job to...

    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    I’m bringing it to northeast airguns today to have them take a look at it and see if they can sort it out for me. I took it all apart got the valve out checked all seals couldn’t see/find anything obvious. It was resealed a couple years ago. I put it back together charged it up for testing and...

    First dove for the .25 Wildcat

    I too have only ever had traditional style rifles. Never a bull pup. I want to get the sniper version and set it up to shoot pellets on low power and slugs on high if I can figure it out.

    First dove for the .25 Wildcat

    I want the bottle version in 700mm bad. Just not in the cards at the moment. Nice shooting. I’m a little jealous lol.

    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    It was having all the problems before the new reg. When I took it apart and the block drained I figured it was the reg because it should have held pressure that needed to be released before you can work on it so I started there.

    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    22 cal, stock reg was set at 135, new reg is set to 135 shooting jsb 18. Previous shot data was average 890 fps with jsb 18 for about 120 shots per fill. Currently shooting jsb 18 around 800 and consistently dropping in speed until it hits 1500 psi in about 40 shots.

    FX Bad valve? Maybe?

    My gladiator mk2 used to get 120 shots per fill at an avg of 890fps I was having problems with it leaking when filling past 2500 psi or so. I took it apart to change a seal in the front air tube to fix the leak. Now a new problem arose. When you remove both air cylinders from the main block...

    Tuning FX-GLADIATOR Mk-1 repair help

    Theses are the best and really only helpful videos I’ve found on this gun. I have the same gun and being 10 plus years old Ive been trying navigating my way through the old gun maintenance issues myself. I recently replaced my stock reg with a Huma reg because I am getting about 30-40 shots per...

    FX Is this fixable?

    The general consensus was I’d have to have a new one “made” by FX Sweden.

    FX Is this fixable?

    The crack was tiny i closed it up made a little split ring out of 22 ga wire fitted it over the weak spot a brazed it. If it doesn’t work long term I will try to replace the copper tube.

    FX Is this fixable?

    Also thought he didn’t know what to do about it and wanted to sell me a new gun. I’ve never brazed or soldered anything before but I put my big boy pants on watched some YouTube videos and went for it. I replaced some seals put it back together and it seems to be holding at 3000psi for a couple...

    FX Is this fixable?

    Forgive my ignorance but, yes the other end I’m pretty sure is called compression fitting. It looks like the fitting on the end of a brake line where it goes into the caliper.

    FX Gladiator mk2 o-ring kit

    I broke the stupid little copper line that joins the front cylinder and rear bottle so a re seal is the least of my problems now.

    FX Is this fixable?

    This is a question for you machinists and fabricators out there. Can this be re soldered or could I replace this copper line by soldering a new one into the existing fittings. The close up shows where I cracked the line taking the gun apart. It’s going to be a pain to try to get a new assembly...

    FX Gladiator mk2 o-ring kit

    Anyone know where I can find a re seal kit for a gladiator mk2 in the US. Plenty of options from the UK but I was hoping for something a little closer to home.

    FX gladiator mk2 reg leak , I think

    Let’s start by saying I’m by no means an Airgun tech, I’m more of a novice mild tinkerer. I haven’t really been active in the Airgun realm for a couple years now, other than dealing with a few ground hogs in the garden. I recently had shoulder surgery and now have plenty of time on my hands. So...
