    An experiment I would like to see

    On porting of my FX Crown I polished the port just to see. I had already reworked the ports on it prior. Of course there was a negative effect. Can't recall exactly how much, but I want to say ~15fps vs unpolished. 930fps was the best it was doing on it's tune with 18.13gr in 380mm .22...

    1st time buyer of PCP Airgun disappointed

    I am a tinkerer, admittedly, most of my guns are very nice. But I still have a hatsan nova star simply due to the sheer amount of work and $ I've put into it. Refinished, remolded, stain matched walnut stock, hw100 barrel. A substantial amount of corrective work to the action, hammer, cocking...

    FX Not convinced an FX Crown bottle clamp is a good idea

    Indeed. One of my crown stocks broke like this. The bottle connection and block on the other hand, I'm fairly certain I could not break if I wanted to. Dropping the gun would easily induce exponentially more force on this area. Not that any of us do this, but it would have to be accounted...

    1st time buyer of PCP Airgun disappointed

    Very much the case. I've been inside and completely thru both of mine and could easily write a small book on all of the problems. Not a joke.

    New to the Group

    Beeman to my best knowledge has been a lot of rebranded rifles. A lot being Norica air rifles. Some (the best ones) being HW rifles. Welcome aboard.

    FX Leaking FX main valve and fix

    It's not a problem until it is leaking. But the brass ring comes loose first then the delrin seal comes loose. It still might not leak if you get lucky.

    FX Leaking FX main valve and fix

    Just happens with normal use. There will be a small or substantial leak at the valve as indicated by air escaping out of the barrel.

    Airforce I own a number of high end airguns

    Depends... a good number of folk seem to love theirs. Just do your homework so you'll know what to expect, weight, dimensions, capacity, power, accuracy, shot count, ect. I'm sure there's a number of reviews for them too.

    FX Leaking FX main valve and fix

    Seems quite a few of their valves share this design. What appears to be a delrin seal ring on the outer edge of the valve sealing face. But the metal portion of the valve also overlaps with the valve seat sealing face which is entirely metal. Issue seems to arise after much shooting to...

    Other Is 15.89 jsb .22 pellet at 930-940 fps enough for Raccoon headshot

    Correct shot placement. Do your homework. Direct headshots from the front won't do.

    Yong Heng cooling mod question

    Best mod is dropping the pump into a bowl or something and running fresh water into the bowl. Drain back into a sink or outside or something. I also managed to squeeze a larger fan on the rear of mine. Can't recall what it came off of, but my airflow across the head has increased at least 5 fold

    FX FX Vs Competitors

    Can't speak to the other pups, but would not hesitate to buy a ghost or skout if so inclined. I have had an impact mk2 .25, and the gun just wasn't for me. Solid, accurate, highly capable tool. Balanced funky, pointed funky, felt funky. No sensible way to single load. And not anywhere near...

    Barrel polishing vs. Cleaning time

    The stuff undoubtedly works, I think the only downside is if left in a bore unused, it can gum up? So I've heard anyhow. I discovered it shooting powder guns. My .45acp match barrel sustains accurate use roughly 2x as long. Nothing done to it other than applying that stuff after cleaning...

    Barrel polishing vs. Cleaning time

    Polishing combined with carnauba wax treatment or Gunzilla can dramatically increase cleaning intervals. In my case, something to the effect of 3x, in other cases maybe 2x or possibly more than what I'm seeing. I've had guns that originally untouched, shooting slugs may be fouled enough to...
