FX is doing away with numbers, who needs numbers least of all part numbers? It just confuses things.Here's how I'm confident it's fake. Look at 0:27 into the video and freeze on the block.
It reads:
"Made in USA by FX" - highly doubtful.
"Max pressure 250 bar" - FX is traditionally 250 bar.
"Serial Number" - there is none listed.
yes i would be interested in your parts , i have an old 54 with a broken spring , i bought it that way but never got around to fixing .I didn’t even shoot the rifle before I tore into it. If you’re interested, I have the restrictor washer and factory spring to get a 54 down to the 7.5j . The rest of the rifle is exactly the same as the full power. I would imagine it was quite an easy shooter at that low a power output.
While surfing the web it appears we have a big surplus of these rifles available from quite a few retailers. They are selling for well below MSRP. 500$ CAD ( snow pesos) or 360$ US. The full power models are still selling for 1000$
One of the sellers did. Airgun depot or some other one. Only $10 per service, I think. They just didn't have the right scope or something so I didn't order it from them which was a big mistake.Who does a pre-zeroed bundle?
Maybe you tightened mounting screws too tight? Try replacement one when you can and LMK. THANKS!!

Well, in this video they sure make it look simple, don't know why Taipan says two completely different things. Maybe they want to have they're asses covered when someone does something stupid?
Anyway, great video!
I was popping European Sparrows last week and observed a Grey squirrel setting on a fence post calmly eating one.I am right their with you only here the squirrels eat around 1/2 pound of birdseed a day. I get 1 to 4 a day , the Fox and Bobcats eat well .
Who does a pre-zeroed bundle?Not working out at all, unfortunately.
I couldn't zero the NcStar scope at all. Just kept hitting the exact same spot even at extreme opposite settings, round after round, its like adjustments did absolutely nothing. Sent it back and got a replacement one but yet to install it. Idk if the scope was bad or if its the user error. I have zero experience, I thought I screwed everything together tight and ot should've been simple, but maybe there's some nuance idk about.
Wish I bought it pre-zeroed as a bundle.
If anyone here has a true interest in vintage and historic air rifles the Daisy Air Rifle Museum in Rogers, Arkansas is an enjoyable couple of hours.Only rare in the fact that I've yet to see another rear cocking American classic with this furniture. It had a rotary sleeve bolt with a magnetic probe and shot bbs or pellets in its original form. It was my dad's bought new and it was my first air gun 30 years ago ad a second hand gift.
I updated it and rust removed what I could, the barrel was shot out with bbs.

Burris Signature Rings with Inserts.Got the rifle finished up while waiting for parts for another impulse buy. The new ARH spring got a delrin top hat made and I used the factory spring guide as it was about as close to a perfect fit as I would make myself. The steel washer with the factory guide was polished to a mirror finish, and burnished with some ARH moly. I also reused the factory piston seal , I didn’t see anything wrong with it although I found it to be a little tight before I sized it to my liking.
I mounted an Athlon 10 x 42 in the lowest rings I had available , still too high for a good cheek weld. A new lower set is in order. I just finished sighting in and tensioning the sled to where I found it to be most accurate. While also playing with the stock screw torque. At 35 yards shooting either the 10.3 or 8.4 JSB’s one ragged hole groups. I’m pretty happy with the way it shoots. The sled action is quite different to any other springer I’ve ever owned or shot. Once I put a ton of pellets through it I’ll see what I’m getting for velocity, I’m not chasing power on this one , just want a good solid performer with mild manners.
I did have to make quite the elevation adjustment on this scope . I’m thinking illl have to go with a droop mount to get it closer to optical center. Any suggestions on a good droop mount for a 30mm scope?
Looks like they added water cooling to standard 3 stage cylinder of square box compressors. Looks like 1/2 the volume of coolant of the cs4. Should work pretty well. The square box 3 stage were pretty good, so long as you didnt overheat or start under pressure.
Keep the old Sears stuff alive! I have a Ted Williams shotgunThis model can shoot bb's or pellets.
I've been out of the hobby for a while and need someone to fix up an old Daisy 880 back to working condition. Anyone have any recs? Thanks.

pop up breach on a HW97 ???????I have two of the HW 97 rifles. Easiest cocking and shooting guns I have, also lightest weight. Only downside I see is that the front sight is fixed. Loading can be a little tricky, some pellets just do not want to fit in the pop up breech.
