Tuning FX-400 Royal

[elh0102]

Who can furnish a Lothar Walther barrel fitted to a FX400 or 500?

I'm curious, why would you do that? The original ST barrel is one of the significant features of these rifles.

Great for pellets, but only pellets.

You can call FX USA, in NC (see the web site). But the Royale is a very simple rifle, and any air rifle tech should be able to help.

What needs to be done? I just did work on mine replaced the value seat and pin not hard to do.

Have you contact FX to see if they still have one?

Curious if the synthetic stock on the 400 with the steel air tube is truly a synthetic composite or just covered wooden? (Have a chance to purchase one at a very reasonable price)

I would be interested in seeing what a light weight slug would do out of a 400 or 500.

Not true at all. I have a 400 in .177 and shoot slugs with it all the way out to 100 yards. And yes, it has the original smooth twist barrel. I'm getting ready to try some slugs in my 500 which also has the original ST barrel. Don't believe everything you hear and read. I have 1 FX and 2 Daystate rifles all shooting slugs.

Fair enough, what slugs? It's not just my opinion I've tried with a .22 and .25 ST and it didn't do well. The twist rate is too slow to shoot a variety of slugs well from my experience. If it's hybrids that shot well for you I'm not surprised.

I'm using the NSA 12.5 gr slugs. And the reason I have tried only out to 100 yards is that's the longest distance I have at the moment.

BTW..I wasn't trying to be snarky in my previous reply/response. I was merely stating sometimes we should try things for ourselves before writing them off.

Yeah I have. Speaking from personal experience not just repeating what I've read. That's great yours shoots them, the general concesus is the ST barrels are made to shoot pellets (1:30-1:40 twist rate)

I'm AMAZED the .177 shoots slugs! The Royale 500 & Boss won't, with any degree of accuracy.

Buy it, I love my royale 500, zero problems and the most accurate out of all my rifles like someone said in one of their responses, you rarely see them for sale or anybody complaining about accuracy or problems
