Thank you for updating.

Hello,

Could you please clarify what “factory” barrel for the Sportsman Slug Air Class means. Does it mean barrels that come along with the PCP unit when sold or can aftermarket barrels be used? For example I had an FX Crown with a FX Superior Slug liner but decided to install a Lothar Walther barrel instead. Is that allowed?

Are muzzle brakes and harmonic tuners allowed to be installed on the barrel?

It means 100% factory built rifle. Every component has to be manufactured by the factory selling it. Similar to the new Factory class, but price has no limit.

Thank you for the very useful info.

In the case of FX and with the multitude of barrel liners available, it would be difficult to police all the different FX liners used in FX guns, so we would rely on the honor system.

Yes, It's honor amongst men.
But, for some it's trust but verify.

good luck with that with companies like Skout and their 100 different barrels, leaves the door wide open for any barrel on the market.

Does not seem like much if any takers at 50 yards from manufactures. Their interest lies at 100 and beyond just from what you read and see what is being posted especially with these big events.

There is but the fact they use barrels from every high end manuf just means it’s not quite as a level playing field as say other manuf is all.

Skout Airguns’ Pro Shooting Team Member Tim Swan has announced and posted on several facebook groups that he will be using his Skout Epoch with a 25” LW Hybrid Bull Barrel which is not a factory barrel. Was he allowed to compete in the Sportsman Slug Air Class using the aftermarket Lothar Walther barrel, was his equipment not inspected or was he disqualified?

If it's not a factory barrel then it's not legal for sportsman.

It's the same reason that Thomas slug guns and Vudoo rimfires are not allowed in sportsman.

Perfectly legal for Pro, though.
