The problem is they widened the magazine for slugs without considering pellets while selling versions of the gun designed specifically for pellets. Utah Airguns is sending me a pellet adapter their tech designed.

FX What I like of the FX Panthera Hunter Compact .25 Cal and what I do not.

Notice how if the pellets are resting near the lid they tip around and jam. This is a known issue with pellets in this gun and they are looking for a fix. The fix is to not groove the lid and provide two lids with the magazines. Not sure what’s stopping them.

It would be convenient en to try to use an older stile FX magazine. For sure it is a design problem.

It doesn't fit, the Panthera mags are thicker due to the thicker notched lid. The body of the mag is the same, just the lid is different. Utah Airguns is sending me an adapter that their tech designed to use the old style mags.
Point is, FX needs to step up, this isn't a hard problem to solve.

FX is always focused in new models instead of perfect performance. Evol has very few models of rifles but everyone says that the quality it top.
Those are the top opposite ways of going to the market.

A quick and dirty fix for cycling issues: tip the gun barrel down and you can hear the pellets slide into the proper place. Then you can cycle the next pellet in. If you’re on a bench you can make it through an entire mag. Out in the field, not so much.

Totally agree with you. It's the simplist of solutions, FX should supply pellet and slug covers with the gun.

If you ever get a chance to try a anschutz 9015 trigger take it and you’ll see why people call the fx trigger junk! Hell watch the m4 hunting vid with the Utah boys they love the m4 trigger cause it’s so much better than the older ones but then their still using air marksman rails and removing the improved fx 1 lolAgain a subjective thing. I have no idea how anyone can be that adamant against an fx trigger. I was going to say I haven’t owned any other high end rifles but I have a vulcan 3. That trigger is pretty much the same to me. You want a bad trigger try an aea challenger big bore. Need to work out with one of those gripper exercise things. Lol.
