So took my sleeve out today for cleaning and it has o rings and no carbon fiber sleeve. Anyone no what this red oil is on the liner? Never seen that before. 
Panthera shipped without Carbon fiber sleeve.

I definitely will Monday, and I’m sure they will send me a liner, but can’t get my head around how that happens.

There is no carbon liner that comes with them. Fx stated they are using a new barrel system, and not sure there is any room avaliable for a carbon sleeve.
Not sure what the red is, possibly something from the manufacturing process?

The barrel system that houses to liner is the same. It stays on the FX website that the sleeve comes standard

My 22 liner came with blue paint on the breech end. I assumed it was just to show that it goes to the breech

What did fx told you about that? I just saw a video from airbuks and his rifle also came without cf sleeve

Neither of my 700 Panteras have the CF liner. I don't know how much the CF would even do with the design of this gun. There is only around 10 inches of barrel that is not supported, but the front and rear of that section is supported. I was thinking of putting a liner in there but I don't know if it would really do much.

I asked FX USA about the red mark, they told me that all the liners have that red marker on them from Sweden. I guess its part of the manufacturing.

Maybe in the future it will be fitted with a carbon fiber sleeve.
But what will happen to those who have already purchased them?
Did any of the buyers arrive with the carbon fiber sleeve already installed?

My .25 Panthera 600mm has the CF sleeve. I don’t think the 500mm comes with one. Just 600 and 700. It’s snug fit on, not glued.

Well this is interesting. Some have them and some do not. I wonder what the deal is with it???

Mine didn't come with a carbon sleeve. Mailed the seller yesterday and waiting for a reply. Seems that I'm not the only one as it's sold out everywhere....
