I saw in the post of 'what was your first pcp' that a couple of guys at least mentioned the FX Cyclone. I was wondering how many still have them. I just sold mine that I'd had for quite a while, simply because I didn't shoot it much any more. It's a .22, and I called AOA, a lone time ago, and bought almost all the barrels and extra stuff they had, and then called FX USA and bought a bunch of left over stuff from them too. I had two or three syn stocks, 4 or 5 barrels, both ST and rifled, and lots of parts, so my neighbor is set for life with it.

FX has made some of the most reliable pcp rifles I've used, and the Cyclone started it all for me. I never had any problems beyond a leak with it, and they are easy to work on. I've moved on to Royale's now, and the old Cyclone just didn't come out much, but it started my love for FX rifles. Simple, reliable and accurate as all get out, what more do you need in an airgun. I never did get around to putting a regulator in it, but one of my Royales is not regulated either, and it's just not a problem, it shoots great and has good shot count, they same as the Cyclone.

Anyone out there still shooting them?
 
I still have my .22 Cyclone, my friend have the same year but the Cutlass, with a different stock and the cocking mechanism, otherwise the 2 share all parts.

I have not shot mine for a while as i have been deep into .177, actually my .22 is illegal now, well at least for me to own.
But its mine, it was legal when i got it, and CUZ they changed the law due to some punk kids shooting at PPL with a .177, well i can not be bothered or respect that law even if i otherwise encourage abiding by laws. where you are or visit.

And i am not paying what was then pretty much the price of a new rifle to have the .22 changed to .177 ( Danish gun smiths do NOT come cheap nor did the caliber change kit from FX )
And back then my other option was to hand in my 1 year old .22, i assume for destruction,,,, O hell no.

Edit: with recent upgrades on the scope front, i now have 3 scopes and 3 rifles, but i have not yet gotten around to put the old Hawke scope back on the Cyclone, but i recon come summer i will get around to that, and then i might as well dial it in and put a little JSB lead downrange.

Never had a Cyclone but am a diehard Bobcat, Boss, Royale enthusiast!! IMHO some of the BEST pellet Guns & barrels FX ever made. Their accuracy, low maintenance & repeatability still amaze me. From what I've heard about the Cyclone, it's in that same category. I don't want to tinker to have to get guns to shoot the way mine ALWAYS do. In fact, I'm heading out to one of my permissions in a minute just to put them through their paces. Always makes me smile.

Dear Sir,
I'm disassembling my FXCYCLONE to replace the O-ring.
But I can't remove the barrel. I removed the two top screws, but even when I pull it, it only comes out about 3 mm.
Is this just because the O-ring is stuck? Or is there some other problem?

I'm worried about the barrel bending. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me the best way to pull it out.
