Thanks douger, locktite worked. Hello beerthief!

Shot a few rounds after adjusting the hammer spring tension on my Crown. Reg. set at 135 bar . Before adjustment, 18.1 gr. pellets at 920 avg. fps with hammer spring dial at 23. Now 18.1 gr. pellets go 915 fps with hammer dial at 13. Noticeable improvement in shot groups at 25, 50 and 70 yds...

Pushed a patch, 9 actually, no cleaning fluids, thru the short barrel on my Crown, last patch came out clean. OELOC (Operator Error Lack Of Concentration) lost a patch between the moderator lug and the barrel end. removed the shroud, got the errant patch. The single disk between the outside of...

PaP, PaP, or PP. Lock tight on hammer spring knob screw. Spell cjeck? I used the AGN search function. Lots of threads on barrel cleaning. Just wondering if it makes a difference if I Push a Patch, or Pull a Patch when cleaning the barrel on my Crown? Or perhaps it's Personnel Preference. I...

Greetings all. Two thinks of passing interest came to my attention today. First a Buteo at about 250-300 yds. and a Chicken of the Trees at 25 to 30 yds. Stop reading here if you are an ASPCA ist (of Abashedly Salient Pander & Candid Acerbic). One such, might find this post punishing. The hawk...

Sorry TMH My Bad. thanks for the info on P and S markings. The added stress of mistaking a responder will the cement this info permanently. Telomeres be damned. Thanks cbow

Thanks Scotty1 You've answered before asked or I'm slow to respond. Air pressure comes from under the barrel. The bridge in the larger S hole prevents slugs, that can use more air, from falling thru a larger opening. For the time being I'll use the P down orientation. I saw the bridge in the...

Thanks Scotty1. Watt a Man, you have my volt. A response of ample insight surrounded, sans resistance, by knowledge and encased in a mnemonic flow of current posts. Thanks for shedding light on my question. Yes, looks like an O ring in the bottom of the AV female connection after the slip...

Greetings All. My new FX Crown MKII is a laser. Just harvested two, chicken of the tree, fox squirrels at about 45 yds. They are an invasive species here and quite tasty with onion garlic, mushrooms and habanero gravy 'cause if you aint sweatin' you aint eaten. First two rounds fired at game and...

Thank you TMX. In my humble opinion this issue was a BIN (Buger in Nose) problem that could have been solved with a phone call from an informed knowledgeable factory trained rep. I got yada yada yada gonna 'cause it might have cost the retailer shop time plus cash for shipping. So I think...

Thanks Scott1, After TMHs suggestion worked, my paraOELOKnoia has been significantly reduced. Thanks Emu, Two fine airgun manufacturers. I flipped a three sided coin and it came up FX. YouTube click bait was also an influence on my choice. Thanks to All cbow

Thank you TMH. I removed the locking screw and, with difficulty, I was by hand not pry bar, was able to lift the knob a bit but not remove. After several lifts and push backs the dial begrudgingly rotates thru all its detents. The ball bearing must have stayed in place because rotation indexes...

Thanks TMH. From where the sun now stands I will rotate the hammer spring dial CCW only, forever. When I saw srtmarts pictures of the cliff vs lobe style wheel I immediately assumed I had committed and unforgivable OELOK and voided the airgun warranty. We'll see what the retailer has to say...

Thanks Srtmat for the pictures. Thanks Scotty1. Is the rear knob, (the spring tension knob) supposed to rotate 360 degrees in either direction? Any Idea why the front knob, (airflow adjuster) won't move off the high position? Understand that I'm new to PCP and FX. Detailed explanations are...

Thanks Scotty1. So changes in the knob position are so small that a precise reference to position is of no consequence and a general sense of rotation is adequate. Is it so, that a 180 degree rotation of the spring tension knob provides all the spring tension adjustment achievable with the dial...
