The industry’s leading aftermarket airgun accessory provider delivers a game-changing solution for FX DRS magazine loading.

STUD, the largest aftermarket supplier of premium airgun loading systems, is proud to announce the release of its new FX DRS Magazine, Feeder, and Loader system. This complete solution is purpose-built to address one of the most persistent complaints from the airgun community: the difficult and awkward loading process of factory FX DRS magazines.

Developed in direct response to user feedback, the STUD system completely reimagines the loading experience. The newly designed STUD magazine features a proprietary magnetic lid, offering quick removal and full access to the front of the magazine—eliminating the obstructions caused by the factory’s rotating locking mechanism. As with all STUD magazines, it also includes a precision roller bearing for smooth rotor rotation and accurate pellet-to-barrel alignment.

For maximum convenience, STUD’s industry-leading Feeder and Loader are available as part of a bundled system. This streamlined setup allows users to sort pellets using the Feeder, transfer them into one of four included Loaders, and quickly fill magazines with minimal handling—ensuring speed, consistency, and cleaner loading.

“This system was built in direct response to what our customers told us they needed,” said Doug Hepler, CEO at STUD. “It eliminates the frustrations of the factory design and delivers a fast, precise, and hassle-free loading experience. We believe it sets a new standard for FX DRS users.”

The STUD FX DRS Magazine/Feeder/Loader bundle is now available for purchase via STUD’s official website and authorized distributors.

I'm gonna add a full shroud to it but there will be no barrel band

@thammer you said “barrel.” I misread what you wrote. Apologies.

The new 8-shot repeating Redback airbow by FX has a regulator and the typical FX smart tune controls.
So the power on that one, unlike (most/all?) other dedicated airbows, can be adjusted from lower, quieter ~7fpe up to a very loud 100+fpe.

A different approach would be to use Air Venturi Air Bolts in an adjustable power, large bore air rifle. There again, the sound level can only be lowered by lowering the power level. At least the vanes on the bolts wouldn't pass through a regular moderator.

The FX Redback mentioned above uses vaneless bolts. So in theory those could be fired through a regular ~.35 cal moderator.
But the 8-shot barrel carrier on the Redback rotates a new barrel into position with each shot.

A 3" ID PVC tube fits snugly over the front of the Redback and could be used to make a simple and modestly effective shroud since there aren't any vanes on those bolts. Gogun.co has a shorter version of the FX Redback (maybe 32" long?) which shoots 12" vaneless bolts up to about 80fpe. It is more than loud enough to startle an animal on the 1st shot so I'm not sure if anyone would actually use all 8 shots in a hunting situation. Gogun markets their products for general use in firearm restricted areas. I don't know offhand if other airbow models use vaneless bolts which could be easily moderated with a simple shroud.

I like the pvc idea alot wish there was a thinner pvc like 3" plastic electric conduit piping or something

The Bisley pad has been a staple choice for many years. R1lover has done a beautiful job installing them on many HW's - here is his excellent detailed guide on how to do it:

Been showing these adjustable butt pads on my guns for a few years now and often get questions about how I install them so thought I'd finally elaborate! This is how I measure, grind and install Bisley adjustable butt pads. 1. Brand new Bisley adjustable butt pad assembly is comprised of a...

Airforce Texan, Texan SS or Texan LSS hammer spring install and trigger reset

Yes sir. I use that video every time I take it apart. It was a life saver. Just wish I listened closer to the part about stripping the screws. Expensive mistake but made a point and I won’t do it again. My main part of this question was about the innards of the tube. But it was an easy swap. But I did also have to replace the power wheel also as it got stuck. Many lessons learned.

I see posts with the 25” Lother Walther barrel shooting Altaros slugs well. Curious what slugs guys are using for shooting critters with?

These two groups were with Zan 28gr HP slugs out of my EVO today at 870fps and at 100Y. Wind was 4-7 mph from 10 oclock. A tad over and inch but vertical was pretty good. I have the 15.75" twist with 25" LW barrel.

Soo,in my other thread about my fx m3 and the stripped power block hole that made me disgusted and I stopped shooting for a year or so,let me tell you a little story about today.
I was mowing the yard and noticed that a shingle on the roof was in need of repair so I decided I would run to the Home Depot and get me some sealer for the roof to tack the shingle down better.I jumped in the car and off I went, while I was looking for sealer I passed the nuts and bolts isle and I thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if the power block wasn't stripped but rather the socket head bolt was the issue.I used my phone while standing in front of the nuts and bolts cases to find a schematic of the m3 for the bolt size ,m3x8 if I remember correctly and I purchased a 3 pack of them!
I finally got back to the house ,got the m3 back out and guess what?,the new bolt threaded right up without issue!!!
I just sort of stared at it in disbelief, the wife asked me if it fixed it and all I could say was(I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT)!
LOL so here it's been a year or so being upset over something that was actually nothing but a faulty bolt but it had me thinking I screwed up a 2k plus airgun.
The old bolts thread width was narrow compared to the new bolt,like it was a m2 or 2.5 and not a true m3 if that makes any sense? Lol.
I now feel better but at the same time ashamed that I didn't see the issue over a year ago,lol live and learn.
MAN IM GETTING OLD

Don't feel too bad, tho mine wasn't as expensive, I felt pretty damn dumb at 1 point too. I have an Accutac Bipod that somehow I lost the damn screw that locks in the pan function. While cleaning out the back of my truck 1 day, i ran across a small bag of screws and washers left over from a project a couple of years ago and thought,.....no f'ing way will this fit my bipod. Low and behold it was the exact same size AND length I needed all along...(about 7 months)......needless to say, I'm happier than a pig in.....well you know! Lol

I’m thinking under the bottle. Not sure if that’s feasible but maybe?

What should I look for when changing the Spring?

Arkansas_Airgunner · Apr 29, 2025

Eagle Vision adjustable Rings and bases are very good ( I own several), as are the Monstrum adjustable rings ( have 2 sets), then if your pockets are deep enough and you intend on using the most out of your scope, then you could also look into a Heritage Arms Coldshot Base (I have one in 300 MOA).....Do I NEED that much angle, NO. But its nice knowing that if I want to reach out there and tickle something, I have the equipment to help me get there.

The more I practice the luckierI get. I practice at least 8 hours a week and shoot N50 matches 2X a month. I practice more at 50Y since that is what I like to shoot most. 100Y is a challenge for me but I only shoot it occasionally and since PAC is coming up I have added 100Y into my practice routine. I don’t have any unrealistic expectations other than to have fun and not finish dead last.

IHatePaper · Apr 28, 2025

I’ve been having good luck shooting Daystate Howler 12.6gn around 900fps at 110bar, unsure which hammer spring I’m running - 4/5 within 1” @ 100 yds. Needs more experimenting but I’m feeling more confident shooting past 50yds.

If you decide to put back the original "spool"....
My MK2 from 2020 with over 20K shots in it, I did not replace the Reg all parts still the original, but polish the front face on both parts to mirror finish, only to smoothen the indent.
No leak and no Reg creep.
I don't buy new again and again, I like to fix these things

San Diego area resident. How does one get an invitation, please?
In all of those pictures, the only thing older than me is the dirt....

mike

Not an open invite Revoman, Send me a text with your real name, and any field target experience and equipment you may have (makes it easier to schedule you in, as we don’t want more than one at a time with zero experience and no proper equipment unless someone is willing to share equipment and take time to coach a newbie on short notice. And I’ll try to fit you in once we talk … its not for spectators, so if you come you need to shoot.

The H&Ns bested the JTS by a gophers nose out to 135+ yrds. The M4 impressed two avid 17 hmr shooters I was with in MT . Impressed the hell out of me two !

Hi Jlowe,
Bagnal and Kirkwood in the UK carry the part as do Europe Airguns in Spain. Below is the web page for B&K. Europe Airguns is offline today as most of Spain and Portugal had major power outages today. The shipping is usually cheaper from Spain, but both can get you the part in a week.
Cheers,
Greg

Part D3: FX Crown / Crown MK2 Spring Holder 19902 - Bagnall and Kirkwood Airgun Spares

Replacement spring holder for the FX Crown / Crown MK2 air rifle. Note – this part is no longer threaded. FX say this is not required as the threading is on the hammer adjuster.

Hi,

Was testing my setup in 300m range. 130Bar, Ma8-Mi3, Valve adjusted to limit 10m/s from top velocity measured around 293m/s. It was windy and cold day, and also didnt have spotter or possibility to see hit, so basically eyeballed those holds from dust puffs. Was shooting from tripod. It was crazy, 2 to 2,5 MRAD windage hold from right to left wind.

H&N HP II .250 36gr (Factory BC .106) Funnily enough didnt run even close to those BC values in these conditions. FX TBC gave me 0.098 and below.

I think I am going to go ATP 49,5gr testing next..

thank you. i'm grateful for the information.

I think i'm all set for now as Mr. Hammer has been very kind to help me on this journey.

I know i'll have more questions when i start using the air rifle. I'll have a lot to learn.

My dear friend is making me a safe target platform.

I've got to order some pellets and learn how to care for the air rifle etc.

Really looking forward to it.

It's has been so hard for me to get to the range, this will allow me to practice what i miss so very much.

Damn. I almost teared up. Truly an awesome deal and gesture from one AGN member to another.

This is a true collector's item. Great score! There was just an A or B on eBay a few weeks ago, it was listed for a pretty penny... -blbr

Thanks for the nice feedback Bobby, but seeing what you, Scott and others can do (not only with machinery, but machining SKILLS and creativity) impresses me immensely. For instance, though I've considered how awesome a Red Wolf pistol might be, never thought it possible! Then you show up with it; awesome MESQUITE stock, not less!

I do believe guys like us are driving the manufacturers' to respond with dedicated Field Target pistols. For obvious reasons, WARMS MY HEART.

I did pay attention to the thumb shifter on your rifle Sunday; SO slick! Sure enjoyed squadding with you and Carey. I won that lottery; sorry you guys drew the short straw.

As is often the case, overnight I had an epiphany; probably in REM sleep, when I do my best thunking. Correction- my only thunking.

What I'm getting at is for Extreme Pistol FT I'll probably change the 3" maximum fore-end rule to exempt fill nipples, that provided they in no way contribute to a steadier hold. Probably have to state they cannot touch the shooter or bipod while shooting.

I like that change... Nice pistol , btw...
