    HELP with Fx 4 stage pump disassembly!

    I was worried about the possibility of melting internal orings when heating. And how do you grab the shaft in order to apply force to the threads once heated up? Because the surface is quite slippery. I'm trying as shown on previous pictures with some self grip locking pliers and a piece of...

    HELP with Fx 4 stage pump disassembly!

    We are going places now Helmet! Thank you very much, +1 to you I used the heat gun and it's now off. I guess now I've got to heat up the brass part to screw it off right? (See picture below)

    HELP with Fx 4 stage pump disassembly!

    This is not the case. And I'm not sure that's the part I've got to remove in order to continue disassembling the pump either, just guessing

    HELP with Fx 4 stage pump disassembly!

    Hey. I'm seriously needing some help with this hand pump disassembly and could't find any helpful info on the web. I attach some pictures but basically i'm stuck in here and can't go any further. The head of the outer piston (where the handle goes attached to) is not moving and acording to...

    new scope choice - vortex or hawke

    As far as everything goes now, this scope seems like the right purchase. Since i haven't had too much time with it I still need to make some traking test but very confident with the overall build quality. I made another thread with the review in case you'd like to check a more depth comments

    Vortex HST 4-16x44 Review

    Using Hawke adjustable rings by the way, the same design as the Sportsmatch adjustable rings, exactly the same. With less than 1mm clearance between the scope and the magazine, the combo fits the gun just fine

    Vortex HST 4-16x44 Review

    Another pro i forgot to mention is the zero stop, although not tanking about an exact zero stop system where you can select the exact place to stop, it still works how's designed to with a solid stop, in my case with 0.6 mil of travel left to make adjustmets on the down direction (that's nice...

    Vortex HST 4-16x44 Review

    I've thought about the diamondback line but the turrets didn't caught my eye, since they are not as good as the ones on the Viper hst or pst, and I really care about the feedback the turrets give me when dialing. That gives me a plus in confidence when shooting. And even though i haven't seen...

    Vortex HST 4-16x44 Review

    Hey everyone, I just bought this scope a few days ago and not even mounted on my Royale, so the things i'm going to say here are just based on first thoughts. This model is the Miliradian with a mil reticle (SFP, calibrated at 16x). One of the strong points of this scope are the turrets. In...

    new scope choice - vortex or hawke

    Hey LDP, keep in mind we are not talking about Sidewinders here so experience may vary. The Frontier line of scopes is the top end of Hawke, and these particular model is the 3th generation of them. But of course your experience with the brand will be considered as well

    new scope choice - vortex or hawke

    Hey everyone, If everything goes right, I hope to be purchasing a new scope on July. The thing is I'm between the new Frontier 4-24x50 or the Vortex HST 4-16x44. Tracking? Clarity? Chromatic aberration? Wich one do you think will perform the best on these aspects? I'm going to be using it on...

    FX wildcat mk2 compact

    Did you max out the hst in order to check the max fps? I'm asking thig because people usually think max hst means max fps and this is not always the case. In my Royale in fact i'm getting the max fps about 3 turns out from max. The proper way to check your max fps is to go insreasing the hst by...
