    FX Carbon Fiber Barrel Sleeve?

    Has anyone who pre-ordered an FX carbon fiber barrel sleeve received one yet? The original expected availability date was in May but I haven't heard anything about it since ordering in mid-April. Perhaps FX was overwhelmed with orders or they are sitting in a shipping container on a dock...

    Bought Some New Targets

    Some new targets arrived from Amazon today. Should be fun at 50+ yards and not much clean-up required once I remove the wrappers. The dirty dime below the "P" used for scale is all I had at the time. Maybe I should clean that up before using it again.

    Tuning Impact MKII barrel liner o-rings stuck

    I was swapping out my barrel in my .25 Impact & when I removed the liner from the barrel sleeve the 3 0-rings stayed inside. I shook the gun but only one came out. A little air from my 135 PSI shop compressor didn't work because I couldn't get a direct shot into the sleeve from the breech. I...

    Finally found a slug that shoots well

    I finally found a slug that shoots well out of my .177 Crown with the .22 superior superlight caliber change kit installed. I tried Griffin 16,17, & 18 slugs but couldn't get groups as good as with pellets. The 18 gr showed promise but this gun is tuned with the AA 18 gr pellet & wasn't...

    Got my .177 Crown today

    My .177 Blue Laminate FX Crown came today. I've been wanting this gun ever since they came out. I finally pulled the trigger, so to speak, and got it from Ken Hicks at SPAW. It's even more beautiful in real life that it looks in pictures. Ken asked how I wanted it set up & I told him which...

    Missed a starling at 25 yards

    It's a miserable, rainy, cold day in mid-May here in SW PA & I missed a starling at 25 yards from my 2nd floor bathroom window with my .177 FX Streamline. I saw that I hit the dirt left about 1-1/2 inches. I recently changed scopes and previously only shot for grouping testing pellets & didn't...

    Anybody ever cut off FX liner choke?

    I was just sitting around thinking. (dangerous for me) and was wondering something. I have an FX impact MKII power plenum .25 600mm with slug liner installed. I was wondering if anyone ever bought a longer liner, would be a 700 mm in my case, & cut it off to fit the shorter barreled gun. I...

    FX Streamline & Beeman .177 Silver Jets

    After sitting around last night doing pretty much nothing, I wondered how these classic pellets would shoot out of a modern pellet gun. I used to shoot these out of my FWB 124 Sport & they seemed very accurate back in the 80’s. I was curious to see if they live up to the "great...

    I finally got the gun I really wanted

    My new .25 FX Impact MKII came today from Ken Hicks at Southern Precision Air Weapons (SPAW). Everything was exactly as it was supposed to be as it always is from Ken. Special thanks because he just got back from his trip to the FX factory in Sweden & got it to me in an amazing 3 days. It’s...

    Another SPAW/Ken Hicks Satisfied Customer

    I just bought an FX Wildcat MK2 in .30 cal from SPAW after much research on where to buy. I decided on buying from Ken and couldn’t be more pleased. Along with the gun I received a target with two 75 yard groups shot with my gun, a list of muzzle velocities and FPE. Ken informed me that he...
