    BB’s in a PCP?

    Has anyone shot BB’s in their .177 PCP before with any success? I haven’t seen anything on it and sitting here with my two boys under the age of 10 I sure think there would be some advantages.

    Converted a powder burner

    Just had the family Christmas and my new brother in law was over - hunts a lot, used many guns but never tried anything in airguns more than his old daisy pump pellet gun. After firing the first shot of my Fox Impact he just started laughing - the same reaction probably all of had. One magazine...

    What’s the most power possible from an Impact?

    As the slug liners have been out for a while and I’ve seen multiple people experimenting with external plenums and tricked out regulators - I’m wondering what the power limit is of the fx impact. Has anyone who has made those alterations measured the fpe? Would it be possible to get up to 215...

    FX Impact X Regulator Rebuild

    Put this in another thread, but seems like we see this question on the board a lot, so I made links directly to the rebuild. FWIW - I read about having to rebuild your regulator every 5-15k shots a few weeks ago. I have run about 12k through my impact X and figured I would wait until it was...

    Share your Evanix experiences

    I didn't want to hijack Hajimoto's thread, so I thought I would ask this in a new one... Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with the Evanix brand of air rifles? Haj did a great job in his recent YouTube video review of the new semi autos, and I realized, the only thing I've...

    Getting the Perfect Polish on your Airgun Parts

    I’ve already had a few questions about polishing – so I thought this might make a useful post. We’ve all seen countless tune videos that involve polishing parts in an airgun to make them work better and smoother. The trouble is, in half the videos, the result is good, but the polish on the...

    Tune your Bipod

    A year ago I purchased a cheap bipod from Utah Airguns – the adjustable tactical bipod – for about 40$. Well, it did what I needed it to do which is hold the front end of my gun up when I shoot – but after shooting a while, I really needed it to cant more easily so I could shoot on uneven...

    What is THE best PCP Add-on you've purchased?

    So I just purchased a new hex set for myself for Christmas (MIP-Thorpe and Bondhus) which have been fabulous. That got me to thinking - what are the greatest Add-ons you purchased for your PCP? Donny FL Moderator/Bipod/sling/trick scope mounts/compressor etc? My top three would have to be...

    Best Hex Wrenches for PCPs?

    I’ve been looking for a good set of metric hex wrenches for Christmas - .71mm to 5mm - to work on my pcp’s. The ones I have from amazon just aren’t precise enough. Either they have slop or they are too tight. That got me to wondering - what brand/style of hex wrenches do you use?

    Tune your gun with tracer rounds

    I’ve been experimenting with this for a while but when shawnlyndy started this thread in the springers section I thought it might be worth while to share: https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/shooting-springers-with-flood-lighted-targets-at-night/#post-389806 By shooting at night - especially...

    Alteros regulator for barrage/bullmaster

    Has anyone put one of the alteros regulators on the Hatsan bullmaster or barrage and can report on it? Looking at the barrage for the semi auto and open sights. Thought the regulator would make it more reliable.

    Checking air in 60min SCBA tank

    For what it’s worth- I know many of us have pcp fill rigs off of eBay along with used fire carbon fiber scba tanks. There really isn’t a good way to check the pressure except to guess what pressure equates to 60, 50, or 40 min of air. So with that said, Amazon (as well as AOA and other...

    Impact X Tuning after break in period *with Photos*

    So I have run about 5k shots through my impact x 22 caliber since receiving it. I Have done two tunings with the chrony since receiving it - both times getting it better. Today, after the third cleaning and seasoning with 100 or so shots - I ran a few shot cycles and retuned. Here are the...

    Long range scope with Closeup Capabilities

    What I’m looking for might not be available - I need a scope with more vertical reticle holdover values than 10 mil for closeup shooting (5-10 yards) FFP would be best with a mag up to 18.5. Any suggestions?

    Impact is In

    So after waiting two months, the FX Impact X in .22 cal. finally came in. I got it 4 days ago and have been shooting it ever since. After cleaning it and putting 1000 rounds through it, I'm pretty amazed at the work you are able to do with it - amazingly accurate right out of the box. I...

    Impact MkII, Impact-X & Impact O-Ring List: 3-14-19 Update

    This is the only time I wish FX wasn't so damn innovative... I'll update this as soon as the new Oring specs come out for the MkII... although I don't think there will be much except for the barrel/pellet probe combo for the .35 cal. – Thanks to those who gave positive accuracty points! Much...

    Anyone still own a Semi-Auto PCP?

    I’ve seen multiple semi autos (Fx revolution, Hatsan barrage/Bullmaster, Huben etc) come across the boards, but all have seemed to have issues. Has anyone owned one for a long time (more than a year) and had luck with them? Seems like it would be the holy grail of pcp’s to have one that shoots...

    Just Got my new Daystate 110v Compressor - Experience

    Full disclosure. After writing up the "Definitive list of Compressors Under 2k US" I decided that the best compressor to fit my needs was the Hatsan Compressor... but since it wasn't out yet and I needed it asap, I settled on the Omega Air charger. I ordered it, along with an FX Impact through...
