Ed said, "OK, I wanna take this opportunity to brag... I shot the four 40-Masters cards today without a single "8" !! That is 80 straight shots - unsorted FX 18.13g straight from the tin - of 9 or better from 40 yards !" And Greg replies, " Love those Crowns !!!" Cheers, Greg P.S. - Awesome Ed!

Concurr!

Ed, I think the 380mm barrel on the Crown looks awesome! With the moderator it has the look of a hunting carbine, but shoots like a target rifle. A lot of folks pooh-pooh the Superlight barrel system, but I think it makes a lot of sense. Adding mass to the barrel doesn't damp the...

Hi Guys, Had a calm evening yesterday after a 4 day mini-Nor'Easter (10-20kt winds instead of 30-40kt). So broke out the FT rig to see if I could replace my "Mulligan" score on the leaderboard. 30yd Challenge - 198 - 15x So I didn't quite beat the 198 -17x, but at least it won't have to...

Hi Guys, I too shot a card at dusk yesterday. Still had about 1.5-2.0 mph breeze, but it was blowing from my 1 o'clock so decided to shoot the .22 Crown. Shot a 197-15X 30yd Masters. While that doesn't beat my 198-14x with the same rifle about two weeks ago, this time I was using the AEA...

Great shooting! We might have to start calling you Marvin Junior, as the great scores are piling up! Cheers, Greg

Normkel, I would tend to agree with your thinking. A little more o-ring squeeze there is likely a good thing. From the drawing it appears that the purpose of the o-ring is to keep the shroud centered on the barrel attachment. Then the o-rings on the liner (#4.6 in the drawing) keep the...

Hi Edward, I wasn't trying to be inflammatory when I posted this. I was trying to identify a possible source of POI shifts in a single shot string. The DRS is a great little rifle for the money. I really like almost everything about it. Once I found a tune I can leave everything alone...

I recently noticed on my newest FX, a .177 DRS Classic, that the liner lock nut rattles around a bit when placed on the liner (before screwing it into the barrel). I didn't recall noticing that on earlier FX rifles with this barrel system. Upon investigating I realized there are no o-rings in...

Hi, Just a thought - perhaps the magazine is preventing you from fully seating the pellet in the liner. The noise you hear would be the rush of air that gets around the pellet before it starts to move. The velocity of the air, released at 100 bar, would be really, really fast and would make...

Hi Doc, Yep, if you have maxed out spring compression you only have two choices. A heavier hammer weight (you'll have to back off on the internal hammer spring adjuster because of the larger hammer head just to get the rifle to cock) or increase the reg pressure. It is way simplier to adjust...

To the OP, AirBuks just put out a video for FX (on their YouTube Channel) that shows how to disassemble all of the DRS models. It shows the "match grade" trigger group from the Pro. That trigger group has been available for a while - I think it was on the Boss. I bought one to play with and...

Awesome shooting Mike! I think if you go back to one of the original posts you will find that Tom Carlson (the guy who started this thread) said this about the target, "It is the 50 feet 5.5mm MOA target. I downloaded it from gatewaytoairguns.com. " I think he is talking about an NRA target. I...

Hi Guys, I got a chance yesterday morning to shoot when we had very little wind. I was sighting in the Athlon Heras on my Nordic Wolf Crown as I am in the midst of "scope musical chairs". It didn't take me long to get the rifle zeroed, so I thought I would try a 30yd Masters Card with the...

You can use the hammer adjuster to tweak your velocities as the temperature and humidity change. A worthwhile addition. The hammer adjuster on the later DRS's has a spring and ball detent that gives 15 positions (clicks) per complete revolution. That means about 0.067mm of hammer spring...
