    FX Drs classic 700

    Thanks, very Interesting I guess we will see if this loose valve cap is a problem with this new valve design which is also on the King, Panthera and Dynamic. So far I have not heard of this problem or wearing them out by shooting . There are guns out there that have tens of thousands of shots...

    FX DRS wood stock project

    I have been thinking of doing a little carving art on my next project and maybe even some engraving in the action. I collect German sporting arms with high art on them. I can see an air gun with a squirrel , bird or groundhog carved into the stock. This type was popular in Europe pre WW2 era...

    FX DRS wood stock project

    Thanks guys. I need to add some panels of stippling on the fore arm and grip. The finish is too slick for a hunting gun. I’m thinking what I want to do for a while . Hate to cover that beautiful curl. I’ll come back with more pictures when I’m done. I’m thinking of getting amother DRS in .177...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I’m with you on that middle size plentum. Also with more than one plug location for a gauge. One on the bottom so the action can be lifted out of the stock without degassing and removal of the gauge when tuning and maybe the other one on the lower back which IMOP is a better location than the...

    FX My first FX rifle!

    I have the Dreamline GRS as well. I shoot Hades in mine as well. No need to use anything else they are that good. The Dreamline is a wonderful platform with the adjusting knob you can dial it up or down to suite different conditions. It isn’t too heavy like a lot of air rifles either. I just got...

    FX DRS wood stock project

    I couldn’t wait for the FX Walnut stocks and I had a little different idea of what I wanted my stock to look like . I have a GRS Dreamline which I I love the feel in hand every time I pick it up. But once you set the length of pull and the height of the comb it pretty much never gets changed for...

    FX I simply can’t resist new tech! FX DRS

    Keep in mind that the carbon fiber barrel tube should give another 9 or 10 shots with a 250 bar fill. I know more money but I think it is worth the extra $. Hopefully there will be a medium size plentum too.

    I used Aquafortis years ago when I first started assembling muzzleloaders. I had two stocks turn green within a year so I stopped useing it. It isn’t mentioned much in the muzzle loader world as it was the old stand by for many makers for maple stocks, but it happens . I changed to alcohol...

    FX FX Airguns DRS Pro: How Significant is This Really?

    I have had a Crown, a Maverick, a Dreamline GRS , a Wildcat M11 bottle and now a DRS. Never had a leak so far. I installed a barrel band on the Dreamline for insurance but haven’t had a POI issue with any of my FX guns. But I handle them tenderly And don’t pick them up by the barrel. I have...

    I have 4 full days in this so far. Got all the final shaping and sanding done today. All I have to do is attach the ebony nose cap which I hope I can get done tomorrow. Two days for the epoxy to cure and I can shape and sand. I am going to stain it with an alcohol stain I use for muzzle loaders...

    FX Drs classic 700

    Just goes to show how important a large plentum is for power. At stock set up these are fine for pellets and light slugs, which are what they were made for. Especially the 500mm . Don’t fault the gun, FX stated that this was a pellet and light slug slinger . My 600 x .22 i with the small plentum...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    Update where I’m at on my DRS stock project. Still need to narrow the sides 1/8” and take some off the bottom of the forearm from the plentum forward. I’m going to add a black ebony nose cap. This silver curly maple is a pain to get shaped and sanded smooth. Unfortunately the blank was flat...

    Like I said earlier what hype are you influence by the most. Quality in build, best or latest technology , overall quality, most accurate, most dependable, best value for the money? I can go on and on but no manufacturer is going to get top rateing on everything . Most people have their...

    Let’s hope it is just that and not an inherent design flaw! It would be nice to know exactly what went wrong , what part, parts were at fault. So if it happens we know where to look and those of us who are willing and capable can order parts and repair ourselves down the road . post warranty of...

    FX Fx drs

    Making the DRS or any other rifle fit in a Bolt action stock made for the Remington 700 is going to require a lot of modification to the action and barrel channel. It can be mocked up but just isn’t practical. I just stocked my DRS 600 in wood and copied the grip from my GRS Dreamline. It was...

    FX IS ALL OF THIS FX HYPE FOR REAL 🤔......

    Depends on what hype you’re talking about. Accuracy I would say it is as good as any PCP rifle that is properly tuned and has a good barrel . That saying manufactured parts can vary and some get through the inspections that shouldnt . That is a fact of all PCP guns so you hear complaints from a...
