I had the qb 79 and added a cheap regulator off eBay. It worked great. I also added a threaded barrel attachment that used a set screw to mount so you could add a moderator. That was also purchased on eBay. It worked great as well.

If I were in the market I'd buy the qb chief 2. It has a moderator AND is magazine fed.

Amazon has the qb 79 for a STEAL though...shhhh....

I drilled out my port to 4mm and seen a 60 FPS jump with the FX 380 barrel...

Bummer. I get it, if I had more PTO, there be a lot of GPs I'd love to attend. Hopefully I see you in Ashland in July!

I'll be there.

How do you replace the burst Disk on the gx-E-cS4. Where is it located?

I want to use a choked smoothbore barrel to shoot shot with the Zeus .72 tactical: does anyone know if it has the same internal threading for the barrel as the gen 2?

Tube is not dented and as can be seen 1 inch mounts are fine. That is the point of searching for things, find a good deal. I never mentioned I didn't know it was a good deal but no one else did so should I have passed it by? Offers to buy items are not allowed in this section, use the classifieds! Since my scope is NOT dented I'll include the mounts but I'll be on top of things value wise and charge many, many times more than what I paid since you've enlightened me to the value if I ever decide to sell.

Interesting if it's a true 1inch mount. I did zoom in on your pic and it doesn't look like the rings are fully seated, hard to say... but it's a rare one if that's actually true (odd ball US market produced one maybe?). 26mm for RB and their large tubes are 30mm.

I would love to see a better picture of it in those rings if possible.

That sounds more like a scope not tracking properly type problem…

I tried with the 30.5gr ZAN and it didn't group correctly, then I put them at 100 yards, and it hit the same impact points, I went back to 0 at 50 yards and it still hit the target, only with a bad grouping, the scope is new.

Hello members
I'm chasing down a leak on an FX Indy 25
It's leaking at 25B per hour
I have done
- balloon test (negative)
- Snoop solution at all external fittings and at the regulator vent hole
None have found the leak

I'm wondering if the gauge is the problem
PICTURE
NOTICE: at the 0 BAR/psi position there is a screw missing
SEE: the screw hanging out at the 60B position

Could that missing screw be causing the leak?

Thanks
Edward

LEAK LOCATED!

After not finding the leak then first time around I redid the balloon tests on the barrel and fill fitting
The difference being that this time I reaffirmed the balloon's seal by taping over the neck with vinyl electrical tape.
It took no time at all for the balloon on the barrel to start inflating.
In my limited view that means that air is passing the valve.
Either because the O ring in the seat is bad or the seal between valve & seat is poor/obstructed
If anyone has a different idea please mention it
It should be a very straightforward fix
Once the pumps is removed the valve & seat are very accessible
Just like a Royale.

Before disassembling I am going to shoot 3 or 4 mags and see if the valve obstruction (if that's what it is) clears itself

More later

@jps2486 That makes good sense. I enjoy the simplicity of the reticle myself. I was Just wondering what in particular you liked.

What pellets are you using on them?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I couldn't find my notebook. My favorite is Predator GTO 11.75 g. These I can hit pellet on pellet at 26yds. Over the Winter I set up a range in my garage to test others. 18.9 yards. When I turned the gun all the way up for heavier pellets, the Predators went to a 3/8" group. What I found out was the semi auto was optimized for 16 gr pellets. My results showed the same. 22gr and over would start jamming and tearing up the magazines. My target was 3/4 inch 5 ply. The Hornet 16.20 gr shot 1" group 24.4 ft lb , 835 fps and splintered out the back of the plywood. Haven't tried these yet cause the yotes rarely come down my street anymore. The JSB Exact Jumbo rs 13.4 also splintered out the back but only shot 726fps @ 16.8ft lb. I haven't messed with pressures on each pellet yet to see if I can approve on them. After I go shoot 30 yd and 50 yd I'm going to see. Predator polymag shorts 15.89 weren't very consistent. 1" group 756-773 fps. 20.6 ft.lb. However, today I had a mouse stuck on a sticky pad that was still alive. 9.5 yd shot and the poly mags were what was loaded in the gun already. Incredible damage. Never seen that with any pellet. I'm going to see if backing down the speed will make them more accurate.

Barrel has a twist rate of 1/19. Its an Evanix Rex FA in .25 cal. I have slugged the barrel already but have to find my notes again to tell the exact diameter.

1:19 is unlikely to adequately stabilize the 80-100gr slugs that you are looking for.

JW. · May 22, 2025

I have a TriggerCam 2.1 and its a very nice setup unless the scope has an illumination turret or if the field target wheel is too large and you can't slide it on the scope far enough. For the money I would go with an electronic scope (Zulus or similar) if they are allowed in your area.

It is bulky but I can still focus (range) properly through the prism glass, I would not hesitate to use it on a scope during a FT competition.

I recently bought a 3 liter bottle with fill valve and whip for $206.00. It fills to 4500 psi with no strain on my GX CS4-i and provides more air than I can use at one sitting. The Panthera is tethered at 250 BAR.

Pulled this one out today after almost 10 years in the safe. Still holding air, and still the most amazing custom rifle I've ever held or owned. Solid titanium block receiver. Every part is custom built, down to the most incredible trigger you've ever felt on an airgun. Not sure if Chip Smith is still airgunning, but he was an artist like no other.

Posted by Gary P. for our Field Target match director, Ron Z.

5-11-25 Field Target

Mothers Day Match at DeSoto Gun Club brought out 13 shooters. No moms showed for the event this year but everyone agreed today's course was a mother!

Troyer Factor difficulty wasn't calculated but low scores and frustrating misses had even our most seasoned shooters confirming the course layout and wind conditions presented an elevated challenge. No individual cleaned the Standing Lane while 3 shooters cleaned the Kneeling Lane. Winds were a definite factor especially on the longer shots. Lane two was particularly humbling today with the majority of shooters scoring well under 50% on that lane. Only Cliff and Wayne scored 5 of the 6 possible points on that difficult lane with targets out to 50 yards.

Conditions were shirt sleeve comfortable under a cloudy sky. No precip was forecast but a very light sprinkle quickly blew through the venue. Barely noticed, it was gone in a few minutes leaving bright overcast conditions throughout most of the event.

TOP GUN Honors go to Ron G (Open div) AND to Wayne R (Hunter div). Both shooters achieved event high scores of 39 points. I believe it's the first time we've had an inter-divisional tie for Top Gun recognition.

Our group was joined by Paul C, a relative newcomer to the Field Target game. Paul finished fourth among the nine competitors in Hunter Division. Lindsay was the only Piston shooter in today's match.

June is the official start of hurricane season in Florida and as seasonal temps and humidity climb to more uncomfortable levels we shift from Field Target activities to Benchrest competitions. Our next shoot- June 8th - marks the start of another Summer Swelter Benchrest Series with DeSoto Airgunners. Precision meets Perspiration in this demanding game of millimeter accuracy.

Shout-Outs and Thanks to All Participants - Your help and friendly sportsmanship continue to make our airgunning activities at the DeSoto Gun Club a safe and enjoyable experience.

MY friend for a while driving a 1985 Dodge ram charger ( dont ask me why )
Well it was not on stock wheels, and the MPH thing is not compatible with Denmark.
So he used a Garmin NAV unit as speedo in it, mind you some times that would kick out speeds that i think the dodge would not even attain if it was dropped from a plane at great height.

...so now I'm pondering what the terminal velocity of a dodge truck is

Are you his rep?

That's not been my experience with FX and I own 6 right now. I would call Utah Airguns and explain the situation or track down who you bought it from. It's not even been out 3 years since that airgun hit the market.

Are you UA’s, they can be difficult. I offered another legit warranty center. Apparently his experience was not free and $400 was the price.

Things have changed from when FX USA would just give out parts even after the warranty.

Why don’t you call and ask what is needed for a non original owner of a rifle less than 3 years in service.

Hi,

Yeah, the distance is somewhat one letter size away on official measurements. There is another test coming where I test it that way. I have done the same tests on my other moderators, so don't want to break the pattern. I feel that having the measurement that distance away is better to understand hearing rappor wise, because it shows bigger difference. Close up the db reading is much higher and people might thing that it does not do that much really. Its a bit of a compromise to measure that way, but better to understand at least for me.

I will say it does make a big difference. Testing my rifles shot, if I place my device next to the gun it’s about 25db higher than putting it 3ft away.

I had the same experience with Marauder and the Bug Buster scope. Pyramid sold me some higher scope mounts. All good now.

The scope height is good for her so will continue with the smaller mags once I get some that work.. It's the small magazine that came with the new gun that's the issue.

I’m very knew to airguns and trying to learn as much as I can, thanks for your reply and the information.

marflow 777 · May 18, 2025

so, the grips are just parts and that is all that need to be said if that
and know PA ships to the UK with no problem and i mean air pistols, i read and post on UK for and the replica guy show them off
shipping will be interesting it appears Krale in the Netherlands uses UPS
Chambers and Knibbs and Protek use the UK mail system which goes into our mail system
i would think small packages either bag or box would be best in the USPS
you would declare an amount at least that is what they do in the UK
i see many Ebay seller ship around the world
now reality it will not be cheap and you will have to know the cost before the sale so everyone is on the same page and or so you don't lose your A$$ saying the wrong as in too low of amount
