FX The Boss

[coastal drifter]

It's been a while since I've taken it out of the safe, the wind has been howling for weeks it seams. Today it slowed down a bit (5-10) cross breeze so after sending a few rounds down range with my .22 impact I pulled out the boss set the trap out to 65 yards and ran a couple mags through the boss. The two groups on the shoot n see are 9 rounds each.

I will never sell my boss.

I have shot my Boss at Several EBRs and EFT Grand Prixs in Utah. The only thing that holds it back is me!

@joeypounds
It looks like you have a carbon fiber bottle on The Boss
Does the bottle have an FX Valve in it?
And can you remove the bottle without degassing it?

Thanks
Edward

just did this to my friends boss . they all have a valve , but if you want a carbon fiber bottle there is some wood work involved because the bottle sets deeper in the gun than the steel bottle . " bout a half inch deeper , you can get a bottle on ebay for around 115 and the valve can be had from huma direct or Utah Air has the air marks cost around a hundred to your door or i think Talon Tunes has a bottle with a valve in it for around 250 , if your a little crafty its a nice up grade , but even with the steel bottle they are nice guns as is ! you could de gas your bottle and get a new o ring to save money but with all the other stuff to make it work a bottle with a valve might be a little less to deal with ! beautiful guns either way !!!

I'm not 'bossy', I'm THE BOSS.

Not much of an FX guy but that's gotta be one of the best names for an airgun ever

Great shooing at 65!

So I read that the later produced & current boss rifles have a shorter moderator/shroud than the original ones. It would be interesting to see how long the boss shrouds are out there.

Even on their website FX is showing a 10 year old picture of the Boss. I hadn't heard of any changes to original design & setup.

Mine is about 13” and it is a later model with the QR Code.

So it is true. Cut almost 3” off shroud. Heard it was so FX could fit it in a common rifle case across the product line?

Just so I'm clear if your bottle has a valve you can remove it without degassing it?
