Fx smooth twist x barrel in the raw?

The Smooth Twist-X barrels are pretty thin so not likely to fit in many other guns. But it is not that hard to make an adapter to make them fit although threaded breeches are a bit more difficult.

I put an FX liner on my Crosman 2240 and 2250 guns by making an adapter like this one that fits the early BNM breech. Set screws hold the barrel, as well as the adapter, in place.

Is it possible to get an fx smooth twist x barrel that will fit in the raw?

AZ has done it.





Perhaps the original polygonal barrel is not meeting expectations?

Edit: Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I thought of another reason....LW poly barrels are notoriously not concentric (bore line to OD centerline). This can make it challenging when trying to install some sort of moderator.

Allen Zasadny 1-319-327-4303. You can verify his contact info on FX's website (listed as a US dealer), as well as Vortek's website (listed as a tuner).



Edit: this won't be a plug and play/off the shelf parts thing....you will most certainly need to send your gun to him.

Edit2: AZ is listed as a USA Dealer on Vortek's website....not as a tuner.

AZ put one on my HW100, I believe he sleeved it.
Here's an example , before and after, top targets were shot at 845-850 fps, the lower target at 910-915 fps at 57 yards. JSB, 18.1

Yeah….I have a superior .22 liner in my hmx
Had AZ build it. He permanently bonds them into a 16mm thick walled steel tube.

Then I had him install his one piece alum shroud/ moderator.
This is the shroud this gun should be shipping with. Nothing compares.

I shoot 20.2gr nsa slugs…very happy with the overall results
