Funny, I can shake the crap out of either of my M3s and my POI doesn't shift.

Then again, I packed the space between the liner and the barrel with 0-0-0 grade volcanic powder from the Canary Islands, the space between the barrel and the shroud with 0-0-0 grade depleted Uranium powder and I run a 1.03724 million Tesla magnetic field inside my moderator.

The vibration I use to shake the rifles is provided by the 5000 MW diesel generator used to generate the magnetic field.

The flexibility of a barrel has a vibration rate. If a vibration that matches that rate is introduced, harmonic oscillation could result. That is what I thing that I experienced.
Your generators vibration could mute the vibration of the barrel if there timing is not matched.

Curious I have been thinking of removing my 30 caliber panthers which has never been shot from my inventory. but has all of the updated recall repairs done by FX USA. What would be a fair request if I were to get rid of her for if I was gonna get rid of this awesome done. I bought by mistake not knowing what a PRS Gun was. I don’t want to shoot it then consider it used. But I might want to delete it from my inventory. Apparently I must make a certain amount of post on this wonderful site before I can even list her.

I’m shooting FX 34 Grain pellets out of a compact gun barrel 500. What could one of you Airgun masters suggest I tune this gun too. I’m at 860 shooting 25 grain now just like a heavier pellet. Be nice if someone could even point me to a nice video to see some visual.

also I was thinking of converting my M3 impact to the compact and making my M4 the longer version 700 because it’s the latest and greatest, but I like the fact that they removed the regulator is there a video that anyone knows of for the M3 impact removing the regulator. I present that to you as a question for you, Expert gunners thank you for your time.

I am an airgunner from the 1970s and hitting cokecans at 200yards( 182meters) would have been a fantacyshot with a .177 pelletgun. Things has changed and the technology are becomming improved almost from year to year in the airgun business. The optimal goal for the .177 is the heavy boattailed bullet of 24-30 grain. But that has yet to come from a factory platform. Remember Airgunmanufatures doesn’t advertize with what ammo their don’t work with or work with. Its still the end user who has to experiment to see whether their $2-3000 contraption actually work.

That part is very annoying. Considering that everyone at this point for the last couple years has known that you need a barrel with a very fast twist rate in 177 to push heavier slugs. As far as I know ow Alpha Precision is the only company that has made 177 airgun barrels with twist rates faster than 1:16.

If you look at them under magnification you can see they are the same

Caliber does matter when dealing with a limited plenum volume if going regulated.
The ROYAL line does very well as a regulated .177 - .22 caliber.
Going in .25 cal the available plenum volume if regulated somewhat throttles the output potential w/o having to resort to real high set point pressure.
Most who shoot .25's HUNT, and with that, if the case ? IMO best suited to running at full tank pressure unregulated.

JMO tho admittedly having limited FX Royal .25 cal experience.

Did the newer regulated guns come with a regulated pressure gauge like a Crown?
Never mind I just saw a photo of a newer Gray Laminate (Greenarrow's)and it didn't have one.
I regret selling the one I had.

I have had good results with this 4-16 x 44 mm IR, SF compact Airmax Hawke scope mounted on my HW95L .22 using Hawke 2 piece tactical medium rings. Rifle averages about 17 FPE and I have almost 8K shots so far. My wife also enjoys plinking from our back deck while using the IR feature. This scope has accurate Mildots when set of 10 x mag which is .9"/25 yards & 1.8"/50 yards. I have the scope set for a 25 yard zero & use holdover for hunting shots over that range. Hawke also has a 4-12 x 40 mm compact but that model was not yet available when I purchased mine.

I also think the fact I use electric scopes exclusively helps. No tracking errors on the turrets. Even a very high end scope can have a 5% tracking error.

That's utter garbage!!

I own many High End optics... Tangent Theta , ZCO , S&B , March , Kahles , Leica .... and i have used a vast array of Top End optics and never have i seen any with a "5%" tracking error!!

I wouldn't trust carbon fiber threads for a shroud unless you're not threading them and running em differently than stock does...

I however thread into mine on both ends and prefer aluminum tubing for a shroud.

You just have to make aluminum inserts with threads not to bad or you can buy them

Hi all,

I currently own an FX Maverick Sniper .22 with a slug kit. I had the gun set up with 36g slugs, and it was shooting at 960 fps with the first regulator set at 180 bar and the second regulator at 150 bar, with the hammer set to 7. I experienced a slug jam right at the end of the barrel. After struggling to remove the slugs, the gun's fps dropped to 920 fps. I am currently shooting 30g slugs, but I can't get the gun to shoot higher than 960 fps, even after I increased the second regulator to 170 bar. Any advice? Thanks!

Did you get the barrel indexed all the way back in didn't get oring out of place sounds to me like you didn't lose much but somewhere you're just not quite lined up?

Not to mention beautiful check it

Recommendations for hunting?

Same here. Not enough of us M-Roders left to fuss amongst ourselves .

I was sitting out back shooting targets and along come some invasive collared doves. There are fewer of them now! Then I went back out to pick them up nd dispose of them and they were gone. There then appeared a couple of very fat Mississipi Kites with dove feathers hanging out of their beaks. I wonder! The M-Rod is definitely minute of dove .

Oh you have to try these it took the head off a tree rat amazing

I never got on with it. I was thinking that one of the main reason I wanted the gun is for aesthetic reasons. However, I sold my Taipan Veteran Long and bought a Standard .22 version and I like the look so much that I lost interest in other guns for the time being. Also, although I do love the look of a standard configured gun as well, when it comes to how I use my gun, shooting out of windows, I started to think that a 42+ inch gun might be a bit cumbersome compared to a 28" bullpup. I actually put in an order for another Veteran Standard in .25 so if I will ever get the HW100, it won't be for a long while.

I think the Taipan you ordered was a great choice. Pretty potent to boot.

Well it's no better here in wheat country. I live north of OKC about an hour and west of 35 on 51. About the trees are around the creeks. I tell people a t post out here is cover lol

In the southwest corner I asked a guy what all those giant stacks of rocks were. He said mountains. I guess all the dirt blew off from the wind. Getting off topic so we better stop.

I got rid of my z block/bottle setup too. I just didn't like it for bench rest shooting. I now shoot mine tethered and love it

So I removed the trigger because I did mod it by replacing the adjustment screws with long grub screws a la Walnut and Steel on YouTube.
After taking it out the safety was free to move. I put the safety into the on position and reassembled. And it works as it should.
Not sure how the pieces got crossed up so it wouldn't engage but they did. I'll keep an eye on it.

Some MD might also have a weight maximum. This topic has been well hashed out in recent threads in the NRL PRS sub forum. If you are limited to 40g slugs I would use a 22Cal for the higher BC compared to a 25Cal.

850renxrs I have to agree with you. I have both the Zulus and DS35. I haven't spent the time to setup the ballistic calculator yet. But having the built in range finder and knowing my holds makes things much easier when hunting.

Bought new few months ago.
It has about 2 hours on it so far
Followed instructions to the letter, missed no steps.
It never exceeded 59°C
Works fine, builds up pressure fine, fills a 6.8L scuba bottle fine.
I'm using that small blue filter that comes with it and a longer gold one which has that brown descant in it and the white sponge like filters.
With those two filters air comes out dry even with all the humidity in my part of the world this time of the year.

But it smells like something burned.

I use Bauer diving compressor oil. Expensive but best for high pressure compressors.

First oil change was after first 45 minutes of running, I wanted to flush all the machining residue and sure, there was some aluminium dust in the oil.
Color of the oil is OK, no water in the oil.
After running, first cotton filter is really moist from all the humidity I live in but it's clean moist, no oil in the compressed air.

So, everything seems to be fine except that burned smell.
And it's not like old motor oil smell, more like singed fabric smell.

I will add one more filter with activated carbon to neutralise the smell but I would rather address the cause if there's something wrong

Anyone encountered something like this before?
