While I kind of agree. Fx liners are rolled on the outside to make the rifling. Cut rifling can be rough from the transition lands to grooves. That’s all your soothing out by polishing. The inside of a fx liner should already be smooth as no machining has been done on the bore of the liner. I...

My guess would be no. I've only had luck polishing known good barrels that have degraded over time. Lapping might fix it but it's very hard to do. Can't hurt to try. JB bore paste only. I've had bad luck over polishing with Flitz. The bore gest so smooth the pellet slows down a lot and it leads...

Well I think I figured it out. It’s the fx barrel as suspected. I just finished adapting a Walther poly barrel to the king. Now shoots typical match scores. Dropped 2 points out of 60 at 25 yards. That’s pellets right out of the tin. I pushed a few pellets thru the STX liner and it had several...

Hi just a little update. I called tech support at Utah air for some advice. They were very helpful. Long story short. The king and like guns were designed for high power shooting large calibers. We all knew that. Not much info on the low power sub 12 ftlb guns sold in Europe. The transfer port...

Thanks for the replies. I build and service a lot of high end guns. And yes a poly barrel shooting 13.43 around 800 FPS should shoot well all day long. I tune many Thomas's and Raws to this spec and they all shoot very well. I picked this King on a whim. I shoot a lot of bench rest and Field...

Hard to believe a $2300 gun out of the box can’t shoot a 1” group at 25 yds.

Thank you. Are you shooting pellets or slugs? I need to shot pellets at or just below 20 ftlb.

Hi, I just bought a new FX King 177 with the 500mm barrel. I'm wondering if anyone has got this arrangement to shoot very well? I was hoping to use it as a loaner for Field Target and Bench Rest shooting. No decent results so far. Do they all shoot this bad? Thanks, Mark

Hi. I started at 20 yds and the shooters liked it better. Why not higher scores make everyone feel better. The challenge is shots need to be kept in the 2” target square for clear scoring. At 25 yds most good shooters can keep it in the target box. New shooters may have trouble at 25 yds so I...

Greetings, I have a few USARB announcements. 1st, I have taken over target sales after Joe Fredrick did a fantastic job for so many years. Thanks Joe! Target costs and shipping has increased a fair amount. Should be no surprise there, we haven't had target's printed in several...

Hi Guys I just came across this thread. Thanks for the kind words. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned over the years. But those of you that know Mike will notice I mimic most everything he says. He and I go way back and has shared lots of info over the years. No secret I’m a big Thomas guy. I...

Hi All, I've been asked if anything is going on with USARB. We post all match results on the USARB scoreline as it has been in the past. But I thought I'd post a match report here for more to see. I've done a lot of work with North Berwick Rod & Gun over the last year. They built a state of the...

Hi Joe, I take exception to the zero updates on USARB. We have made several rule changes and clubs post both indoor and outdoor scores every month. All on the USARB website. Nowhere near as many as I wish though. Updates are difficult to get just to the people that want to see them. My...

Hi Todd At your range in Salem NY? If so I would be very interested in that. The one you had in 2019 was one of the best matches I’ve attended. Let me know what you’re thinking. Maybe best to use my personal email. Thanks todd

Unfortunately the USARB Nationals we had planned for the Whittington Center this August will not take place this year. Given the USARB's very limited resources (staff and funding), the time, effort, expense and logistics of coordinating and holding a national event on the other side of the...

Hi Todd Nice hearing from you. We discussed this before. I bought some of those break down wind flags. I have the same ones all glues up and use them all the time. I'll bring the break down version out to Raton this summer. Are you shooting the worlds this summer? If not we would love to see you...

How do you get all your equipment to a distant match? Not easily drivable. Guns, Rests, Bags, Wind flags, Tools etc. That's a lot of stuff to check on a airplane. If you even allowed? How do you pack for travel? Possibly a ridgid wood crate on a skid? Lots to figure out. Thanks for any advice...

Very easy Keith. Just send a copy of your match results to [email protected]. We also have a form you can use if you like. Info should include shooters name, class shot, gun used and scores for each card. Thats it.

Hi Keith Will we see your scores posted on USARB? If I can help with that please let me know. Thanks, Mark

Will do. Thanks Mike
