FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner & FX Removable Harmonic Barrel Tuner now in production and shipping!
Since its announcement in April 2021, the FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner has become one of the most anticipated accessories ever for an airgun! It’s easy to see why as this integrated shroud system offers new features that will change your tuning process and give you a level of precision control previously not available to an airgun.
The FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner offers both dampening and tuning features that were jointly developed between Chris Turek of UpNorthAirgunner and Fredrik Axelsson of FX Airguns. The result is not just a harmonic barrel tuner, but a complete tuning device that incorporates many barrel dampening qualities to result in the best accuracy you can get from an airgun.
The shroud of the Integrated Tuner is made of high-grade carbon fiber. The carbon fiber adds dampening qualities, stiffness, and exponentially more de-resonating qualities when compared to aluminum. Carbon fiber is also not as affected thermally. The thermal heat expansion of a hot sun on a standard aluminum shroud can heat and create POI shifts through thermal flex. Carbon fiber on the other hand is affected 1/10th as much as aluminum, thus drastically reducing this effect. Dampening is further enhanced by de-resonating rings that have been engineered into the base of the shroud that squeeze the barrel and further reduce vibrations through the barrel.
These above features, when combined with the recently released FX Carbon Fiber Liner Sleeve, absolutely stiffen the barrel system which further lowers the barrel’s harmonic amplitude (or whip) throughout the entire shot cycle. Both factors combined, create tighter shot groups, but are only part of the overall barrel tunning that this FX system brings.
The core of the Tuner is its integrated rotating running weight, located on the end of the shroud. Made from a specifically selected metallic alloy; this allows the running weight to have enough mass to affect the weight distribution of the overall barrel system. Shooters will find that even the smallest amount of rotating adjustment of the tuner weight by only a few thousands of an inch can change how the rifle shoots. The brilliance of this is a tool-free design. The weight has been designed to hold its position without the need of grub screws!
The Harmonic Tuner comes with three caliber specific ends that thread into the tuner allowing for the addition of an airgun moderator as well as acting as an air stripper to further aid accuracy. These come in a .177/.22 Cal, .25 Cal & .30 Cal. The FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner will be offered initially in 500mm, 600mm & 700mm lengths for the FX Impact. Plans are in place to create integrated tuners for other FX rifles.
In addition, FX will also be releasing the FX Removable Harmonic Barrel Tuner. This tuner takes the core rotating tuning weight from the Integrated Shroud and places it in a removable unit for use with any ½” UNF threaded airgun! It also includes and utilizes the air stripping effects of the caliber specific muzzle threads.
These tuners are starting to ship to FX dealers worldwide in the coming weeks. The FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner starts at $149.99 USD (500mm) with $10 increments per longer barrel length. The FX Removable Harmonic Barrel Tuner is $79.99 USD.
