Here’s mine , .22 with a 3.7l bottle, best fitting valve and a tatsu moderator. 
Haven’t shot it to much since the conversion due to work but getting more than double the shot count over the stock 1.7 cylinder.

FX Dreamline Compact Tactical .22
- Thread starter Nutcracker
- Start date
If I buy one of the .37l bottles off of ebay, then I can just buy this valve for the bottle correct?

Yes but call to make sure they actually have it in stock. I ordered a bottle adaptor a few months ago from Ohio airguns but he didn’t actually have it in stock and he had to refund me.

Just received my .25 FX hybrid Slugs and all the chatter is that you cannot shoot slugs out of a FX DreamTac Compact. I increased the regulator pressure to 170 bar and maxed out my hammer spring and I am shooting at an average of 857 FPS with a deviation of 3 FPS and shooting like as laser. Been shooting at my house which is on an open bay and with a 20mph cross winds and I am only holding 1/2-1 mill dots, whereas with JSB 25.29 in then same conditions it was anywhere between 5-9 mill dots and fluctuated. Attached FX corono and video of a flight patch at 40 yards at 861 FPS. laser straight. I have shot to 85 yards with laser precision. I am waiting for a superior liner/barrel and hope to improve.......NOTE..Sorry, could not upload upload the video due to file size. If you would like to see it , I am on IG @boatsnblades and I can DM you the video

Impressive. Did you add the power plenum? What Barrel? How many shots are you getting from what size bottle?
Upvote 0
No, I could not add the power plenum as with the Dreamtac Barrel it will conflict with the flare of the shroud. It is 480mm barrel which is stock with the .25. I am using the Best Fittings 300cc bottle (link Below) replacing the stock 170cc aluminum cylinder. At stock settings (150 bar on the regulator) I was getting 16-18 shots before I fell off the regulator at 150 bar. With the 300cc Best Fittings bottle shot count went to 32-37. Upping the regulator to 170 bar my shot count with the 300cc bottle dropped to around 22 shots, but worth the loss of count to push the hybrid slugs at 860 fps.

Jeff, Is your barrel 480mm or 380mm? I thought the Compact in .25 had the 380mm barrel like the Crown Continuum. I plan on using my Crown Continuum barrel to be able to convert my Dream-Tac to a Compact, I'm hoping that will work!

The .25 is 480mm. The .177 & .22 are 380mm. I don't see an issue using 380mm in the conversion.

Interesting... I think I'd trust Utah Airguns and your measurements more than I would PA! LOL! I even checked their Barrel kits and those show 320mm as well. I asked a question about it on their website, will be interesting to see what they say. Here's a link to their barrel kit, which is actually on sale for $100 off! I'm tempted at that price, but don't need it if it's actually 380mm since I already have that from my Crown...

I was speaking with Mike Mitchell @ UA yesterday and he said the 480mm barrel kits are not out yet. Im looking to pick up one of the new Superior liners that are supposed to be much better and specifically designed to shoot the hybrid slugs

I noticed PA and Utah Airguns both have their Dreamline barrel kits marked down to $299.99, I guess they are clearing inventory for the new Superior Liners! If the barrel kits PA has are truly 320mm, I'd be interested in getting one for my Compact conversion, it would make it quite compact. I may reach out to FX tomorrow and ask if they actually have a 320mm Barrel Kit or if that's just a typo on PA's website...

@JeffDruek, I have the same gun you have but with a 220cc bottle; I will be riding on your coattails. Thanks for blazing the trail!

How long is your barrel? Curious if it's 320mm (12.59") or 380mm (14.96")?

Here is my favorite setup so far. The long bottle gave me the opportunity to rid the gun of having to screw a can on the end of the barrel to make it quiet. The internals are from my stock 380mm barrel. The liner in that system is actually only 11.75”. I use one baffle/air stripper secured inside the CF shroud one inch from the liners muzzle. Then 2.5” of sound deadening material then the cap. It is quiet and the gun looks proportional. I use 15.89 JSB pellets going in the 880’s with the reg at 150b. I use a little longer barrel to shoot 18.1’s 880fps with internal silencing. It’s quiet but not as quiet as when a Huggett is screwed on. Still working on it though. I don’t like making a little gun long by adding a 5” can and it’s just my opinion, but I think they look shoddy.
