    FX Crown STX Superlight Barrel

    Thanks for the reply back. With that said, I think I'll stick with my original thoughyt of a 500 mm barrel

    FX Crown STX Superlight Barrel

    I've had another thought before I order my .22 cal. STX barrel kit. If I went with the 500 mm barrel instead of the 600 mm, what would be the gains or losses with that barrel? I believe velocity is gained with the longer barrel, but I ultimately want accuracy and would also like to shoot slugs.

    FX Crown STX Superlight Barrel

    Thanks for the reply back. I'll probably just wait to see how the sound is after trying the barrel. Where I live, I am fairly far from neighbors, so sound shouldn't be a problem. Will a moderator just screw onto the end of the barrel, or are there any other things I would need to purchase?

    FX Crown STX Superlight Barrel

    I have a Crown MK1 .25 cal 600 mm that I have been shooting for 5 1/2 years. I want to install a .22 cal FX Crown STX Superlight 600 mm barrel. This barrel is advertised with a shroud and no moderator. Will there be any difference in loudness shooting with this barrel system compared to what I...

    Best FX Crown MK I slug shooting Caliber

    I installed that exact liner in my .25 600 mm Crown last year. Did lots of tuning and shooting various slugs and pellets. What surprised me was that my pellets continued to shoot about as well as with my Superior liner. Some of the slugs I shot were worse with the Superior heavy liner. In...

    Best FX Crown MK I slug shooting Caliber

    For anyone with experience shooting slugs through an FX Crown MK I, I am interested to know if there is any advantage in shooting slugs with a .22 cal over a .25 cal. I have a .25 cal now, and am considering buying a .22 cal barrel for the cost saving of buying pellets and slugs, along with air...

    FX Crown Question

    First off, I want to apologize, because I started this thread, and I didn't follow up with another post after my last post on March 24, 2022. I think I just got involved in tuning, and forgot. My last post mentioned I had an increase of 17-19 fps by just changing to the new high flow pin...

    That is just the length of the liner.

    Tuning FX Crown - Service reg or upgrade++

    I have a .25 Crown with 600mm Superior liner that I installed with a new Huma-Air dual transfer port last summer, and at that time had no change in velocity. Just reciently I installed a Huma high flow pin probe and immediately got an increase of 15-20 fps velocity. I believe you need to change...

    FX Crown Question

    I took my Crown out this morning with the crony and shot a string of shots with 145 bar on regulator and hammer A before installing the new Huma high flow pin probe. I was shooting .25 JSB MKII pellets. My average velocity was 850 fps with ES of 3. I installed the new high flow pin probe, and...

    FX Crown Question

    Just wanted to follow up on my Huma-Air order from the Netherlands. I recieved my High flow pin probe and heavy hammer spring yesterday. Only took 4 days. I was expecting several weeks. The shipping was a little spendy, but not really that much more if I was getting from an air gun supplier...

    Shooting Slugs for Accuracy Velocity and/or Twist rate.

    I didn't start tuning my Crown at wide open regulator. I started at 130 bar with the various weight slugs including the FX slug and shooting many groups, working up in hammer spring until velocity stopped going up. I worked at 5 bar increments on the regulator up until 150 bar. I don't have...

    Shooting Slugs for Accuracy Velocity and/or Twist rate.

    I have an FX Crown MKI .25 that I have been trying to shoot slugs as accurate as I can. Most of what I've read mentions more velocity with slugs for the best accuracy. My tune is maxed out for the most velocity I can get at 145 bar is 850 fps. I'm presently shooting NSA 33.5 grain slugs with...

    FX Crown Question

    I made an order from Huma-Air for that Crown hammer spring, along with the Crown High flow pin probe, which should match up with the Huma-Air dual transfer port that I've already installed. Before I ordered from Huma-Air in the Netherlands, I did a lot of Google searching, and could not find...
