What ever forum dukes you are talking about how about just post a link? If it’s such a bother to you then just over look my post. I can never understand why people have to be rude.
Naw, he's just one of those guys who likes a cocoon of rules to protect him from having to think or interact on any level other than one he controls. Surprising number of people like that these days. I think we need a rule about people who make rules, maybe a quota, you are allowed to only make one rule in your life, make it a good one. ;) 😁 😜

I don’t make the rules. I just abide by them. Don’t hate the player, hate the game! 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Which lines of the FX are you experienced with? I like the idea of interchangeable barrels and the resell value seems to hold high.
I am only a month or two ahead of you. I decided that the Crown Mk2, was what I wanted. I bought it less than two months ago.
What do you want the gun to be able to do?
The mk2 is bit more powerful, than the previous Crown, and the barrel support is heftier for a longer barrel. Mine came with a .30 cal, 600 mm barrel. It shoots great. There is an arrow kit for the mk2. I haven't done research on it yet, but I think it will hang with, or better a crossbows fps.

For $100 you can change the liner (barrel) with one of the same length, like a slug liner in addition to your pellet liner for example.
$250 will let you change calibers, but it doesn't include magazines, at about $50 each.
Each change will requier some tuning. There is a tuning guide online, if you search Crown mk2 tuning.
Im a happy camper with mine. Here's a group of ten shots at 72 yards

I don’t mind the rules just sometimes problems reading the rules. Just like instructions on assembly. I’d rather dive on in. Lol

I looked at all the mods that could be done with my avenger and started added up cost. Then looking at resell values of them. It would be an instant loss that’s why I am seeking FX. Seems to be a large following for the resell. I am a house flipper so it’s in my blood to think about resell but hopefully I will find one that I never want to sell. I’d like interchangeable barrels 30 cal is nice but might be much for my 8 acres.

I've only got 72 yards available at the moment. I'm on 2.25 acres. With about 3/4 acre in its natural state.
My interest in FX airguns goes back 25 years as I was a Volvo guy way back when, shooting German, and English, made airguns. The only exception being the Sherdans from Racine Wisconsin. I just expect excellence out of those guys in Sweden.

I have a GX CS3 compressor but man it’s slow. Lol What do you recommend faster or maybe I am just impatient.
I don't know what you call slow, but I have the newer CS4 and i just topped off my 74cubic foot tank from 250 to 300 BAR in 30 minutes. I was quite impressed. My Tuxing 042 is about the same price 600 something, and it is not that fast.

Mine is much smaller than yours. I will have to time my next full. It might not be as slow as I am thinking but I am impatient especially when I have me time. Lol Every second counts
