FuzzyGrub, Could/would you post a photo of your twin-spring configuration with specifics about both springs ( wire dia, inner & outer spring dia, length & no of coils ) please?

Talon77, Before I modified the hammer spring, I did test the Akela on the “Low” power setting, and got 80+ shots on a fill. Sadly, I did not keep the velocity data on that trial, but as I recall, the shots were all pretty consistent in muzzle velocity until the reservoir pressure dropped below...

At 835 fps muzzle velocity, a 16gn pellet still carries 680 fps at 50 yards, with 16+ ft-lbs of energy… more than enough to smack-down a squirrel. Consider that the guys in the UK, are smokin’ squirrels at 35-50 yards with only 12 ft-lbs muzzle energy - YouTube has lots of videos on it. But… I...

Recently purchased a Benjamin Akela PCP in .22 cal. Tested the out of the box stock gun with Air Arms Diabolo Field 16gn pellets at maximum velocity (using the dial on the receiver), and got the following visualization using chronograph data: The velocity peaks on the third shot at 970 fps...

For a full demonstration of EXACTLY how to disassemble an Akela, all the way down to individual parts, including the air-tube, watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EwWQi_R5-n8 This guy from the UK does a fabulous job explaining the whole process, including installation of a Lane...

I like to use a .22 cal bore-snake cleaning rope. I take the outer shroud off completely, then simply feed the weighted end of the bore-snake through the breech end of the barrel, and then just pull the whole thing through slowly so that it doesn’t bind as it makes the sharp bend as it passes...

I tried many different slugs in my .25 cal FX Impact, at different muzzle velocities, in both my STX 700mm pellet barrel and my STX 700mm Slug-A barrel. I shoot a minimum of 5-shot groups. Best groups until recently were 1.5 to 2” at 100 yards, but average of all groups was about 2”. This was...

Does anyone know the specs on the FX OEM hammer spring? Specifically the spring constant (lb/in or N/m)? I had a “power tune” done by SPAW and now I have a heavier hammer that is hitting so hard that I am having trouble getting a proper tune to shoot lighter pellets. Think I might need to...

Try this company: https://spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/product/part-b8-fx-impact-feeding-pin-pellet-probe/ I just ordered several parts from them.
