FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

So does that make the DRS Pro like a Forte with a turbo and a big ole wing on the back? Ha! Sorry. I had to.

There are some things I like about the sound of this rifle (without having seen one in person). Very different in some ways to the rest of the lineup, when it comes to the normal ease of changing things up. Definitely seems like a rifle they want you to set it and forget it.
I would say that the guys that put a chassis on the gun worth almost as much as the gun are running the big ole wing. But my little 500mm definitely has a fart can muffler. It’s a noisy little sucker unless you install a motor home muffler.

so at 115b and hammer at 3.57mm what kinda speeds are you getting and shot count
I shoot 16gr right around 920fps. Shot count? Plenty for a trip to the woods. I may have counted the shots and said what it was a couple pages back in this topic. All I know is I’m bored with shooting the gun before I need a refill. Refilling should not be an issue with the small low bar tank but the crappy probe they stuck us all with makes me not look forward to filling it.

Yeah you aren’t kidding. I would say it’s one of the biggest drawbacks for me is the noise. My 700mm shooting .25 cal 36 grain slugs, and using the Yokozuna moderator, bought because hey it does look cool :p. She barks much much worse than my 9mm M3 shooting 93 grainers at 920fps. If you or anyone knows a good moderator that keeps this thing at a reasonable db level plz do let me know. Thank you and good luck!
 

Works well!

I have a Silent Thunder Ordnance Falx high flow, I think it does great job quieting my 25 700 DRS Pro shooting H&N 40gr heavies at 980.

Same, the STO Falx high flow is very effective on my .22 700mm DRS shooting ATP 40gr kings at 905fps.
Use it for NRL22/PRS rimfire matches an the shot timers they had where un-able to pick it up from ~8inches from the muzzle
its larger than but but definitely more effective than my DonnyFL FX ldc
also have the STO Pugio high flow but it still has a good enough snap with it to cause an echo through my wood line.

What chassis is that?? What arca rail you are using??

Its a Grayboe Renegade stock and Area 419 arca rail with a Greyops shorty bag stop attached.

The stock is a Rem700 SA inlet that I milled out the inletting to fit the DRS and made my own bottom metal/trigger guard for.
I've been meaning to do a build thread of it when I get a chance and was debating making up some of the bottom metals so other folks could adapt their stocks of choice for the DRS.

Sadly its not a drop in fit in the least like some people had guessed it was initially but it is doable.
 
Just recieved my Saber Chassis....but no screws for connecting the 2 pieces stock and no screw for connecting with the action DRS!!! 3 sacs with tiny 'additional support scew' are in the box. Can someone tell me the right lenght an thread for the 2 screws for connecting the chassis and the length and thread for the one to connect the complete chassis with the DRS action please.
It seems that the screws for connecting the 2 pieces from the frame are not Metric??
As I live in Western Europe, very hard to find Imperial.

For anyone interested I personally think the 700mm classic drs is a steal so far for the money. It cost me $1000 like the others but it came with the larger plenum installed, a good sized 300+cc air tank over the barrel which gets me a mag of 36 grain javelins. The reason I find this a steal besides the larger plenum is the 700mm heavy barrel besides at the same price. It’s a great looking and so far very simple and reliable gun to use compared to my M3 which is more prone to issues so far. Now I have a 9mm M3 and when that’s working well it’s like having a Ferrari in the garage… including the constant need for service. But the performance for me makes it worth it. The DRS I would equate more to a Lexus or Acura. Luxury cars sure… not the fanciest or most expensive but very reliable and easy to get parts for. I am glad I have both in my garage :).
What fps are you tossing the javalins at? How about shot count? Thanks for sharing :)
 
That's a universal bracket with 1/8 and other to choose thread.
Not specific for fx;)

FYI
Newest Fx Drs pro comes with hammer bolt which now can lock. It has 12 clicks for every turn. So no need for locktite or a lock bolt on top to keep tension in place.
Good move from FX! I think all never DRS will have this since it makes no sense of making two types of blocks. So are you about to buy one - then check with your dealer. There is also a change in the high mount - it has big sideways bolts now and not the small one that tightens from top

Picture 1 - bolt for ball clicker
Picture 2 - hammer adjuster with slides for ball to lock in to
Picture 3 - "old" block without clicker

Looks like we are getting closer to getting a carbon fiber air tube for the DRS.
Europe Airguns has them for pre sale.
