McDonalds has some soda straws that might fit.

I assume the Swedes at FX purchase some parts from foreign suppliers. Air tanks from Korea, regulators from UK, stocks from Italy or Turkey. Do they also pay tariffs to those countries??

Sale? Hah!

Do the English have to pay tariffs to the Germans, Italians and Koreans?

The best things to do is contact Tom at Vortek, or Macarri and ask them. Better yet, go on the English airgun forum and ask the Brits. There's a wealth of information there on springers, especially old ones. https://airgunforums.co.uk/

Bet it doesn't have the original spring.

The M3 is a fine rifle. I use mine for 100 yd BR shooting. I likes AEA 45 gr pellets. I have not succumbed to the urge to fiddle fart with all of the knobs on this thing. Just enough to adjust the velocity to the sweet spot of 885 fps. The only significant difference between this and the M4...

Spend his inheritance. That's what I do.

Customer service above all things. The other criteria will fall into place. I've had good experiences with Trenier, AOA, SPAW and Utah.

FX Wildcat MK3 VP in .25 cal. Has the power potential to shoot slugs if you wish. Mine does very well at 100 yds with 25.4 gr pellets.

Outstanding shooting. Don't ever sell pellets short.

You have a good reputation in the rimfire BR community, Joe, and I respect your opinions on this rifle. I would like to see how it does at 100 yds. There are a lot of guns emerging to compete in that arena, the Evol 30 comes to mind. Nice shooting.

Agreed. FX seems to have gotten into the habit of introducing newer version of their products (Impacts) every six months along with new models before they are fully developed and de-bugged. On the other end of the spectrum, the English and Germans seem to rarely introduce new models or if they...

I've owned all of the Impact versions. They all shoot equally well. Impacts now are around $2400. And what do you get? More knobs to fiddle with. The MK2 is much more simple, shoots as accurate and capable of just as much as the M4 but for $1200 less. That's a good piece of change. Once I get a...
