Initially, I bought an Air Venturi Avenger .22. Very accurate and inexpensive! However, it is a bit unwieldy for my uses. With a moderator it’s 47 inches long! Sooooo, I soon upgraded to an FX Maverick compact, and it has been great for me. It is versatile, very accurate out to 75 yards(with the...

Thanks for the reply! That’s what I thought at first but this was a new reg, well lubricated and installed carefully. I forgot one important detail- I had put a 11 gram hammer weight installed ( over the old 7 gram). I know this will probably keep the valve open a bit longer( with the same...

I have a Compact Maverick .22, shooting 16 grain pellets. On previous tunes, ie rear reg at 75-76 bar, PW at 7 and ihs at 3 turns counter clockwise from full stop, I have been shooting in the mid 880’s fps and getting about 120 shots til I’m off the reg. My tunes are starting- At 60 bar and...

I have a Maverick, essentially a Wildcat, and I believe the suggestions you make are the most likely the fix! I’ve double loaded a few times and also had the pellet in the breech, partially, where you can’t remove the magazine. Removing the barrel is easy and your method will work.

I’d like to go “smaller” from my .22. Checked with Utah Airguns and they only import the 500 mm kits and won’t special order any other, likely cuz everyone is going big on calibers. Any help would be appreciated!! Pat

I second calling Utah Airguns and speaking with tech service. They are master distributors of FX in the USA and handle all the parts for FX. They are very helpful!!

Thanks for the reply! Makes sense! I was assuming that heat would be generated from lead on steel or “sticky” valves and didn’t consider the cooling of hpa being released.

Thanks for the explanation! I recently replaced the reg o rings so this makes sense. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. As usual you are helpful!

I shoot pellets, usually light ones. Really just looking for ideas. Nervoustrig’s sounds best so far.

Please explain, I’m interested in your answer.

I’ve noticed that my Maverick PCP shoots the first shot 10-15 fps faster than the rest. What could be reasons for this? Leak in 2nd reg? Cold barrel reducing leakage? Just curious why this might occur….

I have noticed that my pcp fires the first shot slightly faster, 10-15 fps. What would cause this

I am, too! There can just be several ways to “fix” this kind of issue and it takes time to learn the gun and the different fixes. The quick tune system just helps one aspect.

It really is helpful! Thanks! I just understand the “why” on valve leaks. If if didn’t affect performance, how or why would I look to the valve
