    FX Crown o-ring list

    Yes, I've seen that, but you only get 12 o-rings for just under $12 their money plus shipping to the US if that's where you live. I just received 106 o-rings for under $15 US, that included S&H. Cheers, PB

    The o-rngs I ordered showed up today, so I used an extra small parts organizer box I had to put them in. Using MS Word I created an index sheet so they are easy to find and taped it to the inside lid. I also printed out the exploded parts view to put into the box too. Cheers, PB

    FX Crown o-ring list

    Hello, I recently bought a new FX Crown .22 cal, with a synthetic stock. I wanted spare o-rings to have on hand in case I needed them. In the past, I bought spares for my Marauder from The O-ring Store and I got a lot of them for cheap, so I thought I would do the same thing for this Crown...

    Received the adapters, what a clever design and they fit really well. Thanks again for suggesting them and I bought an extra pair in case I decided to put my X Sight II back onto my Marauder. The scope still could come down some, there's just over 5/16" space, but it's much better than it was...

    Definitely tighter. Was it tuned for the 18.13's or still using factory settings? Did you change any settings before switching to the 15.89's? Cheers, PB

    I forgot to mention, I did remove the liner when I was checking everything out. The liner seems to be 99.99% round, but when I rolled it on my table, it seemed like it might be tweaked, but it's so little, I'm not really sure. The outside of the liner isn't 100% smooth because of the rifling and...

    The tube extends out two inches, just enough to take a lot of the bark out, but not all. I thought about this and decided I didn't want to wait, so I clamped my pliers in my vise so it fit the two holes perfectly and was able to put enough downward pressure and then turn the tube and it came...

    Here I thought I was done messing with it, but I just couldn't let it go. I figured out it only tumbles the pellet when the shroud is extended, nice round hole when it's pushed all the way in. I don't see any marks on the exit hole of the end cap, it must be hitting the inside lip as it enters...

    I didn't keep good enough notes but out of the box, it was 140. After filling the bottle it was 155, after shooting two magazines it was 150. This morning it was at 160 after sitting all night. I decided to lower the regulator pressure to see if the pressure would stabilize, so I pulled the...

    Thanks everyone and yes, I plan on lowering the pressure, but since it started at 140 out of the box and has been as high as 155 without me changing anything (except bottle pressure), I wanted to see if it was going to stabilize. I've read some Crowns had issues with regulator creeping and...

    Thanks and I've read and watched videos of exactly what you are talking about, so after more shots at the factory settings, I will be doing what you talk about. Cheers, PB

    Thanks and I think you are right. I plan on lowering the pressure after a few hundred rounds. The air consumption is high right now. After 36 pellets, the bottle pressure drops from 250 to 180. The spread is really high too, that caught me by surprise when I saw that. Not sure how long it takes...

    Just a few other thoughts: Pros: The rifle is light, lighter than I expected. The cocking is really smooth and easy, sooooo much better than my Marauder. The trigger is really nice, light, smooth, better than anything I've ever shot or owned. I like the way it's so easy to break down, very...

    Thanks everyone and I think I've got it working okay for the time being. I need different scope mounts for sure, it sits way too high. Shot off a magazine full at my 20-yard target, I really like the one shot zero on the ATN scope, it works well. Still some fine tuning needed but I think it's...

    Thanks Bob_O, I went back to Youtube and sure enough, it's showing three (3) o-rings on the outside of the barrel. Maybe it's a bigger caliber with a longer barrel, mine is a .22., with a 19" barrel end to end. I did push a patch through the empty tube and nothing came out, so two o-rings for...
