Barrel inlet Fx Royale

[Menttaliist]

I need to change the barrel inlet (brass piece) in a Royale 400 (.22), I'd really apreciate if someone could help me telling me how to remove the current barrel inlet and install the new one. I assume heat will be needed as well as a vice. Thanks in advance

Manuel, it might come off even without heating it up. In general, they are not so tight.
in case it doesn't, remove all 3 o-rings, heat it up a bit with a micro burner or blow torch, and it will likely screw right off.
Best is to clamp the barrel in a vise, put the back end of a drill bit in the tp, and use a channel lock (or knipex for the Euro guys ) with a piece of leather for protection to unscrew it.

good luck,

Gijs

That + point should really be mine, I taught Gijs everything he knows about FX's. haha, Just kidding, as the old timers say "he's forgot more than I'll ever know". He's been a great asset to the forum for sure, thanks G

Are they threaded?
The reason I ask is, I bought several fx barrels that were blems from AOA several years ago and the brass t-port end was not threaded on, it was just glued on.

Haha, thanks for the bananas guys
Although I'm currently more into long range PB shooting, I still like coming over to AGN and talk about AG's. It never gets dull.

@lavahunter All of the FX-es I have dealt with had threaded TP's (in case of the Royale m9x1mm thread)
However, it could be that some older/other models have glued TP's.

cheers, G

Does anybody know what are the sizes of these o-rings on FX Royale barrel inlet?

If you go to the FX web site, select the "Support" link, then the "Royale" parts drawing link, it will give you all the O ring sizes.
