Awesome! losing the forward cocking lever was for me a dealbreaker, but now im interested again. Thanks for sharing Matt!
looking at Michael's last picture, does it look like the air cylinder can be removed, or is it fixed?

I'm very impressed!
It looks like FX will once again raise the bar in the airgun industry. This should win a noticeable piece of market share for FX, and I think they deserve it!

Fx amazes me year after year. They are real trailblazers. The competitors take years to just add regulators or make cosmetic changes to old models where as FX not only introduces 100% new models designed from the ground up but also introduces new technologies (barrel liners) while trying to minimize prices for end users. However that still does not mean I can afford one yet.

Hello
Wow, that's what I've been
waiting for. The look of the Crown does not suit me, the Impact as left-hander not perfect…. but now.
What about the caliber? Will
one be able to change them?

I like the concept. Automotive manufacturers have been doing this for years.
Still waiting for official specs.

Looking forward to Matt, Ted and Steve - Ted, Steve and Matt - Steve, Matt and Ted getting their hands on one for some reviews.

The scope rail mount on the bullpup version does not appear to have an attachment point at the forward end. Might not be secure enough to hold in place for use out in the field. I'm sure it has already been asked, but what is the expected timeline for distribution in the States?

I was holding out for them to bring the barrel liner system to the Streamline and moping around feeling resentful and depressed because they hadn't... and then they come out with this! If the weight is streamlineish and it really is under a grand, I'm in love.

FX is continually pushing industry standards to new limits at a harrowing pace and forcing other manufacturers to try to keep up with innovation and not rest on their laurels. Awesome time to be a part of the air gun community. It's great to see other manufacturers picking up the pace with updates. We're quite spoiled in comparison to previous generations. Keep em coming FX!

One gun to rule them all, one gun to find them, One gun to bring them all and in the darkside bind them. lol

Fx has not only been introducing new models but also improving their manufacturing facilities. According to Matt Fx designed the dreamline in a way that it can be produced faster compared to impact. I'd cut your estimates by more than half. They are "streamlining" their entire process all the time.

Exactly. The lessons of the Impact were that potential production bottle necks increase exponentially with product complexity.
Not an issue for short runs but a BIG issue for scaling production for the masses.

Interesting idea, but as usual in FX always announce a spectacular rifle to sell it 2 years later, and thus lower the sale of the competition

to anyone at IWA: can a shorter air tube be mounted to make a short carbine, or even a pistol?

To speak to what I have seen over several years with FX is this: The USA would seem to be their biggest market and business serves their biggest market "first". When it is "satisfied" they move to secondary markets. FX is more innovative with their product offerings and increasingly gets them to market quicker and quicker after initially revealing the product at Shot or IWA. They are a learning and adaptive company both in design and manufacturing. Ramping up to the demand that they have experienced in the last 2 or 3 years is a difficult path for any manufacturer but FX seems to be getting more and more right with fewer "bumps in the road" than in past years.
The bottom line is that their products are coming to dealers in their major market/s quicker and with fewer issues each passing year.
Just my 2 zinc cents!

No doubt, they have advanced a lot and are improving. Hoping to find a balance as a manufacturer (able to meet demand) vs. an innovator (of new products/technologies).
