    You're buying two rifles: FX Streamline and FX Wildcat MkII. Calibers?

    I have a .22 Streamline with a Weihrauch moderator. It's very quiet, definitely backyard friendly. I like this moderator because it not overly big and looks to be good quality at a reasonable price of around $100. The .22 pellets are a bit bigger than the .177 and are easier to load with old...

    Idaho Needs Your Help to Allow Use of Airguns for Big Game Hunting

    Absolutely agree. I'm all for airguns but this is just asking for more restrictive regulation.

    need some advice / help with a RWS 45

    In the process of doing a piston seal replacement on my old RWS 45 I used a drift to remove it and it came out fairly easily if I remember right. And by the way, I wouldn't recommend doing a piston seal replacement on this model. PM me if you want to know why.

    Impact Stackable Moderator vs Aftermarket?

    I originally put an FX stackable moderator on my .22 Streamline - 4 pieces total. I replaced that with a Weihrauch (HW) and found the HW to be noticeably quieter. The HW is a bit longer and has a bit more volume and it was less expensive than the 4 piece FX. If I had spent another $50 for a...

    Yes, the FWB300S Lives up to the Hype!

    
Yes, they're the pellets I prefer in my 300S.

    New to me .25 FX Streamline Laminate

    Maybe there's a thread about this already, but the Streamline is already regulated. Are you talking about removing the factory regulator and replacing it with a HUMA? I assume the purpose is to increase the air along with larger plenum and port so you can shoot heavier pellets?

    WTS - .22 Cal FX stackable moderator SOLD

    This has four pieces - both ends and two in the middle. Used very little, no dings. Didn't cause any POI shift at all so no clipping. MSRP is about $125 plus shipping, now $75 in the CONUS including shipping. Paypal only, I'll pay the fee. Contact me via PM. Thanks!

    FX Streamline ??

    It'll tell you how many shots you'll get at that power setting. If you look at the air tube pressure at the point it drops off the regulator (fps drops quickly) that will give you an idea of the regulator setting, assuming the gauge is accurate. And BTW, your fps should have dropped...

    FX Streamline

    It comes with a brass fill probe but you'll need to put an adaptor on it if you want to use on a fill tank hose that has a quick release foster fitting.

    FX Streamline .22 or .25cal?

     Hawke Match medium height rings are on mine and the scope tube clears the mag by 1mm. Comb height seems about right to me. I think some other med. rings and scopes probably won't work together on this gun but mine do.

    FX Streamline .22 or .25cal?

    I'll put my vote in for the laminate. Unfortunately it's a more expensive option now than it was when the SL was first out. But it really adds a quality feel and look to the gun and adds a little needed weight to the .177 or .22 cal version, IMO. The .25 is heavier so maybe the added weight...

    FX Streamline .22 or .25cal?

     "Have you shot any squirrels with it yet?" No, I haven't but I live up next to a woods with lots of them. I wouldn't have any qualms with shooting them if they were trying to gnaw into my house or if I wanted to go to the trouble of cleaning and eating them. But I'm not comfortable using...

    FX Streamline .22 or .25cal?

    With stock factory settings, on power 3 with a 250 bar fill my .22 Streamline gets 63 31fpe shots before falling off the regulator. Power level 2 16fpe. Power level 1 8fpe. I would have preferred to have 10-12fpe on setting 1 and 18-20fpe on setting 2 and it could probably be adjusted to get...

    Predator gun?

    Hunting coyotes with an airgun that you want to hand pump and no scope? Sounds like an exercise in futility - you must really be looking for a challenge!
