FX Newest Official FX DRS Video

There are actually two different height picatinny rails. Originally, I wanted the Pic Rail, but the more I think about it, I think I'd rather have the option of using the higher capacity Crown/Dreamline magazines that I already have. If I added the pic rail, there would be the extra cost of the rail plus the extra cost of the smaller magazines. I already have an Element Helix scope with BKL rings that doesn't have a home, so I think it will pair with the DRS quite nicely.

I have one on pre order and just like Paul above my element helix needed a home lol

This is only hypothesis but I think he high pic rail might fit the bigger FX mags. Not sure why everyone wants super low scope high, it's only good for really close shots. For 20-50 yard shots higher scope height gives a flatter trajectory at longer distances, I intentionally raised my scope height so my 45-55 yard shots need less evaluation adjustment.

I’m going to be using fx no limits on the dovetail mounts with a single shot loader for HFT.

Well it looks like we have a drag race lined up. Who will get theirs first from whom. I know I still have a long wait but I look forward to what guys think when they receive theirs. I won’t be pimping mine with any of their extras until I determine it a worthy keeper. Even then I’m ok with the shot count of the one I ordered and the dovetail. I just got a 500mm .22 so I don’t think I’ll be shooting far enough to warrant a MOA base.

Please educate me!
Why would switching over from a Dreamline oem FX AMP regulator, to a aftermarket Huma regulator, loose the ability for adjustment?
Is the Huma regulator adjustable?

I agree!
Step 1: Pick your favorite pellet.
Step 2: Adjust once for that particular pellet.
Step 3: Add scope.
Done!
Im glad to see FX getting back to basics.
The trend for "extremely adjustable, long range, slug shooting models" must be great for those type of people.
I, on the other hand, simply desire a quality built, simple, and most of all, accurate pellet gun.
I believe this one, might be perfect!

Replacing burst disks, those are a safety feature and wanting to mess with those make me question your claimed educational pedigreed.
The burst disk are there to blow before something bigger blow up, and create a all together more dangerous situation.
Also not too much in the way of affordable compressors that will let you pump past 300 BAR / 4500 PSI
In old school rifles you shoot directly from what ever pressure in your tank, but today many are regulated and you shoot off a regulated pressure in your so called plenum ( smaller volume of air )
Also it dont really matter if you make something that can shoot at 2000 FPS, CUZ i am not aware of any ammo that will fly at those speeds, ATM most things work well between 600 FPS or so and up to just before super sonic speeds around 1100 FPS, though probably slower.
I tried to shoot stuff ( slugs ) at 1050 FPS in my .177 rifle, but not good, going down th 960 FPS was much much better for accuracy and group size.

I should have said the Huma-Air regulator is not externally adjustable like the AMP regulator. On the Classic you had to remove the stock to adjust the AMP regulator, you have to remove the stock, degass the airgun and disassemble the air cylinder to get access to the Huma-Air Regulator. So, in my mind, It's not adjustable in the sense the AMP Regulator was. I just set it, installed it and haven't messed with it since. I have no need to, it's shooting great now!

FWIW, UAG said yesterday that the Classics come with picatinny rail installed. Also, the Classics are in stock and they are waiting on fill probes to arrive.

That's crazy! Why would FX ship a bunch of airguns with no way to fill them? Seems like a mix up in the packing and shipping department if they come with the Picatinny Rail (toted as an option since it was announced) but no fill probe! It's going to be interesting to see what folks actually receive from the various vendors and if there's any consistency with what was sent from FX.

Looks like the DRS uses a new version of fill probe (MkIII, they call it) so perhaps there was a design issue or maybe a supply chain issue that affected only the new probes. Meaning it looks to me like there is more to it than just a mistake on the packing/shipping side.

I was going to say as a FX owner I have a probe. But they had to change that ?
Has anyone handled the DRS yet ?
