FX  DRS Classic .177 Initial Review

Hey Guys,

I wanted to put up an initial review with some information on the New DRS Classic.
If you have been looking at this New gun you know there is Not a whole lot of info out just yet.

I received the gun from a friend of mine who asked me to set it up for him.
He wanted to use it as a FT gun shooting the 13.4gr pellets.
With the limited info out there I was a little hesitant, but he assured me he wouldn't hold it against me if I screwed it up... Lol

So here we go :
step 1, clean the barrel which was a straight forward deal. The patch worm went right on through the barrel since there are no baffles, Good Job on that FX.

next up, do a good general inspection of the gun making sure everything functioned as it should.. Good there as well.

next up, remove the stock and then fill it to the recommended 230bar max for the initial shots.

Next up, filled a few mags with the forementioned 13.4gr pellets and headed out to the backyard for some chrony numbers. The gun was Way low on power from the factory (400fps) , so I knew this was gonna be a long-term adventure...

Since the gun has no regulator gauge, I had no idea where it was set. so obviously the logical step is to look into the hammer spring setting.
The initial setting on it was 3 threads into the block, I started moving it in @ 1/4 turn increments until I hit the max numbers on the chrony, then backed it off.

I went ahead and shot the gun down on the pressure until I had a half ass idea where the reg was set once it started falling of it.
Nearest I could tell it was 90-100 ish.
This drove me batpoop, and it makes the tuning more difficult than it should be..
So I start looking into adding a reg gauge, sent a couple of emails to US dealers looking for the thread pitch and if the small plenum would even allow a gauge, The large plenum is shown in Matt's video with an angled gauge setup ...(see more below on thread size)
That was a waiste of time, I'll just leave it at that.
I did find a plug in the front of the plenum that had a 5mm hex drive , and after reviewing the manual in a pdf i found on the web it did show a gauge installed on the front of the plenum.
So here we go, degas the gun9 Unscrew the pressure gauge to do so) fired a shot or two after the pressure gauge read zero to clear the plenum. Unscrewed the plug from the front of the plenum and installed a spare gauge I had laying around.
refilled the gun, now we are in business, as susped the reg was at the 90-95, I set it at 100bar and back to the chrony we go....

After Many, Many hours of shooting this thing, playing with hammer spring settings, reg settings I finally got the gun to the numbers below on the chrony sheets.
Top sheet is with the 13.4
Bottom sheet is with the 10.3
The numbers look Fantastic on both pellets, BUT don't let them fool ya....
Take a look at the pics of the targets below ofor the accuracy results..
Top is the 13.4 @35 yards
Bottom is the 10.3 @35 yards

Info from above about the regulator gauge
1) The threads on the gauge needed are 1/8BSPP

I hope this information helps in some small manner.

PCP Rifle  SOLD Custom FX Maverick/Wildcat MK3 BT "All in One" Package - Check It Out :)

OK.. to start with, this might confuse some of you but rest assured I'll explain it! :) Current FX PCP Owners probably already know this but for those that don't, the FX Wildcat MK3 BT and the FX Maverick are 95% the same gun just in different stock systems. The Maverick in an Impact style bullpup chassis and the Wildcat BT in a traditional style bullpup synthetic stock. pretty much EVERYTHING else is the same. Safety Lever and Tube Clamps for the scope rail system are the only differences. Same Power, same tuning system, same air delivery system. With that being cleared up let me tell you about the gun I'm listing. It started life as a Wildcat MK3 BT .30cal and was immediately changed to .22cal as a compact heavy pellet and light slug shooter. It shoots perfectly and accurately in that setup, you won't be disappointed! When Saber Tactical released the TRS Rail for the Maverick I wanted one for the gun. However, that Top Rail is not compatible with the Wildcat BT as it uses a different setup (dovetail) on the top rail tube clamps. So after a lot of research and conversations with Izzy over at ST, I ordered a set of new top rail clamps for a Maverick from FX and installed them on the gun. Along with the new tube clamps I installed a ST TRS Top Rail and had a "One of a Kind" Wildcat BT. It was perfect, and still is! A couple of months ago an opportunity to purchase a stock FX Maverick chassis at a reasonable price came up so I bought it. The thought was the only thing that could be better than a Custom Wildcat BT was one you could easily change into an FX Maverick in two minutes. So, what you see below in the pics is the SAME GUN in two different chassis setups.. Pretty Cool huh :) I'm wanting to experiment with some cool new setups for the Panthera/Dynamic so I'm letting this one go.

The current setup on the gun is as follows:
Compact 500mm .22cal w/Superior liner/CF sleeve, Saber Tactical TRS Top Rail, 300cc CF Bottle, Huma dual caliber (.22/.25) pin probe, and Europe Airguns 20 position "Fine Tune" Power Wheel (not available anywhere in the US).

Gun comes with BOTH Wildcat BT and Maverick stock systems, an additional oem FX Maverick Top Scope Rail, one Orion .22 magazine, and an FX hardcase. Scope, Moderator, and Bipod pictured are NOT Included- Asking $1650obo shipped (conus) for the entire setup. PP F&F, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App accepted. "Low Ball" ridiculous offers will be unappreciated and ignored so please, if you can't afford it or appreciate how much time, effort and money went into building this "One of a Kind, Cool Factor 1000%" gun don't waste my time or yours. Thanks.. I'm happy to answer any and all questions, contact info upon request from serious responders.

Air Venturi  Avenge - X .25 cal won a bench rest competition vs all others high end airguns

I am extremely surprised that none of the members who belong to this forum have shared this super important information. A lady named Ana Rose Spanagel just won a bench rest competition with a relatively inexpensive Avenge-X .25 caliber rifle, outscoring all the others shooters participating in her same category. This despite the fact that the rest of the competitors were all using high end expensive rifles such as FX Crowns, FX Impacts MKII, FX Impacts M3, a Skout Epoch and a full electronic and computerized Daystate Red Wolf airgun. This once again demonstrates the incredible accuracy all this low end rifles have, despite having a relatively affordable price. You just need to be a good shooter, know how to tune them, use the pellets that best suits their barrels characteristics and a good scope…👍💪

FX  Impact M3 fix for those who face POI shift YouTube video

Following is one of my two videos I have made today. My experience is very convincing by making solid barrel out of FX liner and keeping most of the barrel free from any effect of O rings.

This is for those who experience POI shift in Impact.

Here is the video and pics.

Taipan  Taipan Veteran 2 Tactical 500 mm cal 0.22

Hello, about two weeks ago I bought this rifle, and I am still unable to find the ideal velocity and the appropriate pellets. I always had the idea that rifles with a CZ barrel were very friendly with any type of pellets, but now I am not very convinced. If anyone has this rifle and has already found the right velocity and pellet or slug, please comment. I leave a photo of my rifle.

Thank you

FX  tuned to perfection.

Hi I purchased a FX Impact M3 a couple months ago from Palm Beach Air guns. It is a .22cal with a 600mm barrel and I believe a 480cc bottle. This is the second Impact I have owned so I am familiar with the platform. I felt it could do better than the way it was factory tuned so I started messing around with it. I got it shooting solid groups at 55yards with great economy in the shot count, Then a couple weeks later I wanted to try some slugs. I upped the reg pressure to around 135 bar and set the micro adjuster to about 4 and was sending 27gr H&N 2s 960fps and getting dime size groups at 55yards(y). I mostly shoot paper in my yard so I reset it for 18gr pellets. These are my results. From a 250bar fill I'm getting 7 mags (28rounds per) and still above the reg Shooting 18gr fx pellets 917fps average with a 1.5 S/D. BTW I keep my guns in a safe I pull them out and put them back by the barrel. I haven't experienced the poi shift I have read about. Here are a few pictures. The wind was mostly from behind me and slightly lt to rt 5-10mph. no holding for the wind. First 5 shots of the day at 55yards. I didn't include pictures but the valve adjuster is set at 4 lines.

Huben  Huben GK1 V3 with V1 wrap

Just got my GK1 in the mail.
It is marked V3 but has the V1 carbon fiber wrap on the air cylinder.
It also has the original single screw on top of the main block instead of the two I expected to find on the V3. (Pictured below from Huben3Dparts website)

Thoughts?
Curious because I haven’t seen any examples of the V3 with this air cylinder pattern.

Other  Air pistol popularity gaining momentum

Having witnessed air pistols excruciatingly snail-paced growth in popularity over the last six decades plus, it warms my heart to see that growth now gaining speed and momentum. 'Witness' the fact that the Pistol division and Hunter Pistol class were both second in popularity to all divisions and classes at last weekends Cajun Classic field target Grand Prix competition weekend; itself one of the most respected and popular of all field target Grand Prix events.

And in related good pistol news, manufacturers are responding with phenomenal air pistols aplenty (relatively speaking, of course). Some of those perform beyond the imagination of most airgunners and shooters of all kinds-

Friendly reminder to clean your barrel

So..........

Probably should have cleaned the barrel of my new toy when I first got it (duh). It was shooting well and figured it was clean enough. Welp.

First two dry patches felt like I was pulling the patches through peanut butter. After I pulled those through I peeked down through the barrel and could physically see the buildup starting to seperate from the rifling.

20240415_185607.jpg


Switched to 2x Hoppes soaked patches and let them soak for a few. You can actually see chunks of lead buildup on the patches.

20240415_193337.jpg


After the patches starting coming through fairly clean I put 10 down range and then 10 more on paper.

20240415_191641.jpg


Not counting the flier (it wasn't but I won't get into that) 9/10 landed in a neat little 0.35", MOA group at 32yds. Not too shabby for a 20ftlb .177 break barrel. Its officially too dark to keep testing but I have some very high hopes now :)

20240415_191717.jpg


I'm curious if anyone has ever seen buildup like this on a break barrel? I pretty routinely pull a dry patch or 2 through every couple hundred shots so I haven't. I'm wondering if maybe someone decided to give slugs a try in this thing before I got my hands on it
