I contacted Tom at HPP, where I purchased mine, about my low 1st few shots and he's going to send me a new regulator once he receives them from FX.

FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??
- Thread starter Bud-sc
- Start date
I got my spacer on, and it looks like I need to do some more sanding, but it fits. I also put the sling studs on. I used the long ones for a wood stock. They seem real snug. Once I am sure about it, I will put a dap of epoxy on it. I may put a couple of QD cups on it, too, just for more options.

When the chrono blew over, it must have broken. So, without a chrono, I first sighted in at 40 yards. I shot a few mags just to get the feel of it. I filled 230 bar and left it tethered, but the valve was off so I could monitor pressure. Shot a 40-shot group inside of a nickel, 15,89 JSB. The 39 shot sounded different & the 40 even more so, I figured it was off the reg. The gauge on the tank, which is accurate, was 140 bar. I will know more when I get another chrony, but I can get almost three mags for a 230 bar fill. However, I have no idea what FPS is. Mine has the 500 mm barrel.

There are set screws as pictured above available. The Dreamline set screw fits the DRS. Only problem is the hex hole in the set screw is smaller than the hex hole of the spring screw. So you must take the set screw completely out to adjust the hammer spring. It should be made opposite with a larger hex hole so you can just back it off to make an adjustment to the spring with the smaller hex wrench. I’m going to enlarge mine . Sorry I don’t have the source of the set screw. I bought it a couple years ago for my Dreamline and never used it because of the smaller hole problem.

Coltri is doing good! Still filling my bottles.Me too, FX is always fun tuning
I don't think they will supply a new block to me, how many rifles would that first batch be! If it is only this that has been adjusted, I can live with it. In the meantime, I have made a nice appointment with Sekhmet for the delivery of an M8x1 manometer. You cannot buy these in Europe and shipping US to Europe is expensive and there are guaranteed to be additional import and tax costs.
B.T.W. how is the coltri doing?
I made a protection cover for it when its stored in my garage so it doesnt get cold.
I threat it with love, its a lovely machine

We have thought of this, turning the original screw with a 5 mm hexagon and the set-screw with a 6 mm. So hammer spring tension is easy to adjust without removing any screw

Yes that’s the one. I’m drilling mine out and going to put a large slot for a straight blade screw driver . Easier than filling a new hex hole.Is this the part you are referring to? Cape Fear Airguns has them on sale for 50% off...

I have been at war with an influx of Cow birds with my new DRS. I tuned it to shoot the Monster Hades 25 grn. At 860 fps which I thought was sufficient for anything coming into my yard / woods. They shoot fantastic off the bench. But I can’t seem to hit these birds at 40 yards even with a good rest. i have come to the conclusion that they are jumping the pellets. I can see the pellet if the sun is just right and they are on there way before it gets there. I changed to my Dreamline today . It shoots the 15 grn Hades at 910 fps and bam , big difference 50 fps. makes. So now I have a new benchmark for velocity. I don’t think there would be a problem with furry critters but these birds are wired with a hair trigger.

50fps doesn't make much difference. It might just be coincidence but according to chairgun your talking a difference of .007 seconds. 910fps is .140 seconds and 860fps is .147 seconds with 25.4gr. 910fps with 15.9gr is .145 seconds. So only .002 between your 860fps 25.4gr and 910fps 15.9gr. No way that makes that much difference. I've killed thousands of birds and even at 640fps 14gr tuned .22s have no problem with birds jumping the gun at 40yds. I'm not sure what the problem is but there not jumping the gun with only .002 seconds more time.

Are you using a moderator on your DRS, or possible a different one than you are using on your Dreamline? I just wonder if they hear the shot from the DRS and that's what's spooking them?

Speaking of moderators I just received a Silent Thunder Ordnance Pugio that I ordered.
It works awesome, it's way quieter than the DonnyFL/FX that I tried but not as quiet as the Silent Thunder Ordnance Falx. Understandable as it is ½ the size.
I'm not a fan of the glossy finish but maybe some matt carbon fiber wrap will be the answer???

Flat black paint would work also! Or even a Matte clear coat if you still want to see the lettering. I have painted many and they have turned out great.

I held one this weekend very very lite like your holding nothing. Also without a moderator this thing in 22 has a bark

The light weight, and short , 38.5" overall length, is exactly what attracts me to the DRS!
Perfect backyard plinker, in my opinion!
There are VERY FEW traditional looking pcp rifles, that are powerful ,and under 40" in length.

FX DRS 500mm .22 The Back_Roads Experience
Well been one heck of a morning, had to ditch work to sign for this thing, first knock on the door gave me a religious experience I was not expecting on a Monday
Within minutes I had the outer box opened and was prying open the FX package, Ouch! Paper cut watch for sharp edges
Take picture or it didn't happen, post it on GTA, run back down read instructions on how the mag works, loaded one up, oh no optics. Find the scope and mounts I had in mind, insert mag slip on weaver adapter, just clears the mag Yes!
Mounted the scope and get to sight in3 shots got me dead center with Norma 17.9gr. Ran a mag through and when satisfied with accuracy set up the crony, tag said 900 fps with 18 gr I am getting 900- 915 with the Normas, so close, more shots to see if regulator is working, will do a final reg test with weight sorted pellets.
Trigger perfect, side lever buttery smooth when no pellets in the chamber, and not so bad when loading a pellet either.
On the other hand this thing is loud with the tune but still sounds efficient, I added a Rocker LDC to the end and that made it quiet enough for the basement test, but a barrel tube sized chubby would be nice
Now not to sound like I am instant FX fanboy, I have $300 or under rifles that will give this FX a run for the $, my DAR gen3 .22 will be going head to head with the DRS I bet it will be close.
PS When I took my Crosman 362 off the rest I could not help but notice the Unscoped FX DRS is lighter than the lightly scoped 362.
