I am a very biased air gunner but I can’t believe there is a better gun than the Maverick from FX. Shoots slugs or pellets with the right barrel liner, 2 regulators(very precise pressures),very large plenum(power!), excellent adjustable trigger, well constructed(high quality!) and many, many aftermarket upgrades are available. If you equip it with the “Shooting with Phil”easy tune micrometer-based hammer spring system($125), it becomes EXTREMELY easy to tune. The new AMP regulators are really, really good and are now standard.
And you get very high shot counts because or the tuning benefits and it is available on the FX Wildcat, too, which is on the same “base” as the Maverick!
Again a highly biased view but I’m very pleased with mine!!!

better hurry up and buy or reserve to get the best price before the tarif incrreases hit ... most dealers do not stock too many mavericks ... used if you can find it ...

The Wildcat/Maverick have a lot less orings compared to the Impact, but still more than some other brands. I really like the Wildcat, so much it is the only new FX I will likely ever buy. For simple design take a look at the Gen 1 Taipan Veteran at Talon Tunes, he has a couple left.

Take the load off the pin by compressing the ram a bit. It will pop out. You may need to make a fork jig to grab the ram back.

Before i knew that the pin has a flat, i did put pressure on the NP but the pin would not move. Didn't know about the flat. All is good now, and the fork/jig is done. Sure will need it to assemble as well.

Sorry. Forgot the photo.

I will have to check but I believe it was $75. I'm afraid I have breathed more than two times since then and may not remember it precisely! I haven't received it he. It had to travel from Azriona to Misery if you can translate that. I have been called twisted, even sick AND. But never was I called quite right. So I guess a small amount of Ballistol-ed patch run through the bore of a new barrel won't take care of humidity in shipping until it gets to AOA followed by the state of Misery.

I mounted my radiator on its side with bottom inlet and top hose return. Found this mod on u-tube. Super easy . No more air in system.

I can relate to the previous owner. If the gun is for hunting do what you need to do to make the hunt successful. I know there are people out there that cringe at the thought that I have my Beretta O/U spray painted flat black for duck hunting. Barrel, action and stock. It works for me and if it doesn’t work for the next owner they can clean it off. It’s my gun and I’ll do want with it.

Mike,

I enjoyed reading about “the 10m stuff”. Different types of guns with various performance levels are what keeps things interesting around here. If we all agreed on what the best gun is, it would get pretty boring here.

Thanks for all your contributions!

Back (address page) of Pyramyd Air catalog usually has one. WM

From just the looks of it, i do not think the shorter barrel will work in an Epoch.
Skout chopped about 5 1/2 inches off the upper assembly, taking out all the m-lock.
The compact's barrel is showing about 2-3 inches in front of the barrel lock, so too short for the Epoch.
Could probably use longer barrels in the compact, but not vice versa
And it looks like they moved the electronics around for a better user friendly placement, so the lower assembly is different as well.
just an observation,,i could be wrong

Ok. Yeah you are probably correct. Thanks man

I called Airforce for some parts for my .510 this week...While on the phone i tried to find out if you could upgrade existing .510 TX2 valve to the new 300 bar bottle and valve....Does not look good...All Airforce would tell me is there is more than the bottle and valve... With the African Air Ordinace kit for 4500 psi they used a heavier hammer heavy spring and had to replace t

RM.510bigbore said:

The old .510 TX2 valve is 3625 psi with carbon fiber bottle ...This new version is 4500 psi working valve with 300 bar carbon fiber bottle..The African Air Ordinance .510 4500 psi super valve has been around for years...This is a factory supported 4500 psi super valve from Airforce as far as i can tell.. Id say only super sonic with light slugs...Most .510 hunting slugs from 1 once to 1.5 once so it will sub sonic.. The old TX2 valve will shoot 650 grain slugs at 750 fps this valve at 4500 psi should be over 900 fps with 650 grain slug..Im happy Airforce has this factory offering... All I know is this setup with 650 grain spire point boat tail slugs .5 B.C has 1000 foot pounds at 300 yards...Better sub sonic ballistics than most things offered... Hopefully will be able to buy the new 4500 psi super valve and tank to update TX2 valves....

Click to expand...

he carrier tube... My carrier tube is currently stripped out on my .510 TX2 valve from factory 3625 psi use...So yes the aluminum carrier tube needs upgraded... So i dont think Airforce wants use to upgrade our Texans ourselfs...Sadly

Have to use one of those for my .375ct conversion!

great, thank you for the feedback. now does anyone have the .25 Barra 250 Z ? If you do what suppressor do you use or what one would You use to be real quiet because I shoot in my indoor range in my cellar.

I’m running a Buck Rail moderator and it really dampened the noise.
These have a good crack when shot without it.
My neighbor thought I got a new .22 cal. LOL
He never knew about PCP’s , can’t wait to see what he gets.

Others - BRK Sonoran 30

Look what made a showing at the Oregon match. BRK Sonoran 30 cal with the Sub MOA barrel. I had it maybe 4 weeks before heading to the match in Oregon. More to come after we get home. Tony P.

Here's an ongoing write up on the Sonoran.

I used to love this for learning drop, the relevance of bc in same weight, various shapes of Diablo and imperfections. The direct affects of wind on the pellets and receiving Instant visual POI reports from otherwise hard to see .177-.25 Diablos. Iron sights were fun and it’s very easy to see them transverse the gap.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Let us know how your equipment faired and what you learned through this

@tegridy Don’t be afraid to “@“ or PM a member who has experience and posted in older threads to ask a question about a specific detail. Some may not respond and others may not recall, but sometimes they’ll come through for you.

Nicest Quality compact I've found is a USO TS-3-12 Glass is really sharp & clear & if wanting crisp parrilax based ranging it does that shockingly well.

What if you hit the stand?
I get why they are cheap...you'll probably shoot it

The indicator is quite sensitive to an impact transmitted through a support attached to the target so it could be positioned a safe distance from the target where it's not like to be hit.

I got the indicators just before the winter set in so I haven't had much time to test what works and what doesn't.

They cant resist dry cat food, last year when snow was on ground I sprinkled some on ground near some bushes along woods and in 2 days I killed 40, its like crack to them. It works even better when other birds are coming to it they cant stand it then.

Tricky-Dicky · Jan 23, 2025

It's interesting that they say the reg is self venting, as a lot of reg designs vent to atmosphere but don't leak, I had read that it was the O rings that were not of the best type to stand long term pressurisation but don't really see that, not bothering to vent mine as I am refilling air bottles enough anyway.
