hello, I have a fx maverick .25. I was cleaning my barrel and noticed that in the final third of the barrel there are two lines inside the barrel, looking like a splice. this is normal?
fx barrel defect
- Thread starter RodrigoR
- Start date
Radial marks in a bore are never a good thing. Sometimes relatively innocuous, but never good. The questions are:
- Does it group to your expectations?
- If not, is it in warranty?

Contact FX.
I once found pitting in a new unfired liner. They replaced it under warranty...

FX USA response:
Hello Sir,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
This does look like something that would need to be inspected.
We do recommend that you reach out to your nearest dealer.
Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to have your rifle or liner to come in as we do not ship outside of the USA.

I sent some airgun stuff to Brazil earlier years and I know the situation you are in ... the shipping is a long way to travel and I feel the pain ...
I know it costly but for a first aid just order one liner from closest source, this what I would do ...

I'm experiencing a very similar thing with a new 600mm superior liner. very irregular marks inside the liner. worst grouping of any of my many fx liners. I'm a little saddened to hear they aren't going to replace it though. That isn't usually FX style.

Do you mind if I ask you what mm your barrel is. Mine is 25 cal also. I'm wondering if they had a bad run in 600mm

Mine is in the .25 700mm. Unfortunately, it is not possible to buy FX products if there is no authorized representative in your country.

I'm a little confused. When I order parts they come from FX USA in North Carolina, don't they?

My mistake. I'm new to AGN. I didn't realize you were in Brasil. Perhaps I still have a chance. Good luck to you sir.

first ( and last ) impact I bought had " wavy " grooves. I didn't know enough to kick it back. Spiraled at what ever speed I shot.

I polisc the barrel, mostly at the start, mark and shoke. I had a gain of 90fps, needing to recalibrate the gun. Was shooting 160/130 slug 34 at 930fps, after polishing it jumped to 1020

There are ways around that. What delivery services are in your area? DHL is $142 from the states to you, I'd get several at that rate.

for 100 dollars plus 30 shipping I buy a new liner on huma air that delivers without problems in Brazil

Maybe that explains the speed gain, did you happen to push a pellet or slug from the breech end out the muzzle? I’m curious how much the bore has grown in size.
