    New valve design for the FX Panthera

    From the fx website - "The Dynamic Block utilizes a compact one-piece valve. This High-Power / Short-Impulse Valve is extremely efficient while allowing an immense and precise flow of air" Maybe they have a new valve design? That is exciting to me as FX have used the same design for many years now.

    Shorter superlight barrel so shroud can act as suppressor

    The liner on my Dreamline superlight barrel goes into part 14 when assembled, so no air can go back into the shroud. If I shortened the barrel by 100mm and just relied on the spacers (part 12) for centering the liner, then the shroud should provide some noise suppression. I'm interested to hear...

    Blast from the FX past

    I bought this RWS Scimitar from a local gun shop, I had to replace all the orings as they had perished. If you recognize the action you will know it's made by FX. The unusual thing with this model is there is no cocking/bolt lever. First hunt, I got this hare at 50M JSB exact at 830 fps.

    FX carbon fiber barrel

    I was wondering if anyone has replaced the outer barrel with a CF tube of approx 14x8? (for a .22 cal) That should be stiffer and lighter than using a thinner CF tube sandwiched between the liner and outer barrel sleeve. I realise there would be some mucking around required to install the...

    Tuning O-rings for pr900w stormrider xm1 .22

    Hi all, I've googled without luck to find the breech o-ring size for a Stoeger xm1 that I recently acquired which is missing the said o-ring. Like the Diana Stormrider, this rifle based on Snowpeak PR900W. I need the size for the .22 cal, if anyone knows? Also I will replace the 2 skinny o-rings...

    FX Wildcat Mk III feedback

    I love my new Wildcat mk III sniper, The accuracy, power, smooth cocking, feel and balance are great. But just one thing, barrel droop. The barrel knocks on the air tube unless you hold it like a newborn baby. And the POI will shift with only a modest knock that any field hunting rifle should be...

    Tuning Barrel band or barrel tension

    I only have to look at my Wildcat Sniper funny and the shroud will knock against the air tube. I can add a custom made washer and that will stiffen the shroud movement, but the barrel is only held in with one grub screw and I don't want to overload it. So should I just go with a barrel band?

    Tuning FX Wildcat mk III power plenum and part updates

    When I ordered my mk iii from Krale I also ordered a FX power plenum, which I know is designed for the dreamline. As compared to the videos of mk iii disassemble that I have seen the end piece that screws into the air tube and action is now one piece including the plenum spacer. Unfortunately I...

    Tuning Shavings of HST adjuster from a dreamlite

    A friend asked me to look at his 1 month old Dreamline lite as it was shooting with erratic velocity. He has cranked the HST adjuster up to max to shoot slugs (.22 cal). The spring seems to be shaving filings of aluminium off of the HST adjuster body. Since the trigger is below and in front of...

    H&N .22 21gr catching on tramsfer port

    My friend has a FX Dreamline. He bought some H&N slugs to try out. They are quite a bit shorter than the FX hybrids for a similar weight. That's not surprising as the volume of the hollow point is much less on the H&N. The 21gr only have around 2mm cylinder before the ogive curve starts, so they...

    FX Wildcat Mk III trigger spring

    Hi all, I've ordered a Wildcat in .25 cal, and from what I have read plus shooting a friends dreamline, I know I will want to lighten the trigger. I would rather make or buy a new spring than cut the factory fitted one. So does anyone have the critical measurements for a wildcat trigger spring...

    Tuning the .22 Bantam Sniper HR, can't get fps over 900

    My Bantam came with the reg set at 125 bar and was doing 870 fps with jsb 15.9gr exacts. As an experiment I tried adjusting the hammer travel, but that was the peek velocity I could get. Now I have upped the reg pressure to 150 bar and I can just get 900 fps with 15.9gr pellets. I have added...

    Marauder shot string

    Hi, My friend just bought a second hand Marauder in .22 cal. I just helped him test it over my chrony. It made almost 50 shots between 3000 and 2000 psi all between 800 and 818 fps (16gr jsb). Is that normal, or is it possible the previous owner added a reg? It was bought from a gun shop with...
