    FX M3 Feeding Problem

    I'd like to thank everyone for the help. Much appreciated. I discussed the issue with Benjamin at FX USA, as well as Ernest Rowe. FX gave a ~1 month lead on warranty repairs. Top-gun sent a label, and it is en route back to the shop. I'm planning to try a Taipan Veteran Long, instead. If the...

    FX M3 Feeding Problem

    Apologies for the omission. It's a .22 (now in post #1). I can push the pellets through the mag easily enough. The problem is the mag is not aligning with the breech, at least not without fiddling.

    FX M3 Feeding Problem

    The brass barrel fitting is set ~1mm proud of the block. In contrast, it's ~ 2mm on my Dream Tac. The mags don't seem to be fitting the M3 correctly. There's too much side to side play, after the mag release is engaged.

    FX M3 Feeding Problem

    I'm familiar. I've owned a Dream Tac for a couple of years now. Been shooting for ~54 years ;)

    FX M3 Feeding Problem

    Just received a new FX M3 .22. Loaded 3 pellets in the mag, and the probe hangs up. Won't push the pellet forward, into the breech. Tried the second mag, same thing. Tried 3 different pellet profiles, no change. The mag is able to rotate a bit, after it's locked in. I have to rotate it back and...

    Airgun trajectory, how flat is flat?

    "Flat" is one thing, but wind drift can cause misses, too. I was surprised to see that while higher pellet velocities can produce a flatter trajectory, they can also produce more wind drift: https://hardairmagazine.com/ham-columns/the-external-ballistics-of-diabolo-pellets/ Counterintuitive, but...

    Utah Airguns...?

    I cancelled the order, and let them know why, via email. Their only response was "You want to cancel all items?". Seems they are consistently incompetent. I think I can stay happy with my dream tact for a while, and when it is time for another rifle, I'll check this board before choosing a shop...

    Utah Airguns purchasing?

    I'm scratching my head, waiting for a rifle that I was told would ship 2 weeks ago. More details here: https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/utah-airguns-10/?referrer=1

    Utah Airguns...?

    Called x2 last week, to check on a pre-ordered rifle I paid for on 12/15. 1st time, I asked for the rep I had been working with, and was asked to call back later. 2nd time, I got VM, and left a message. I have not received a call back. I had paid a $300 deposit, shortly after the Mavericks were...

    NEW FX MAVERICK: Any thoughts?

    I had a Impact on pre-order, but changed the order to a Maverick VP. I wanted the 600mm barrel, and bought a FX 480 CF tank for it, which will leave me with the aluminum tank as back up. Got the call today that my VP was in...

    Selling on this forum.

    Guess I could see what happens. I suppose worst case they take it down, and maybe issue a warning. We have a site called Texas Gun Trader I've been on for years. Bet I can post it there.

    I saw a pellet gun ad in Houston CL, 4 days old, but it was in "lawn and garden", instead of sporting goods.

    Is the UTG bug buster the only sub 10 yard scope?

    My journey as a shooter spans 53 years. It took me a long time to recognize the the benefits of good glass. That said, not every application warrants a $4K+ S&B optic. My air rifle use is mainly small game & pesting, so I don't need high magnification. For close in shots, I like a true 1x, and...

    New to air guns

    I own S510 XS regulated, and have nothing to complain about. I chose .22, which provides versatility for hunting/pesting, and casual target practice. One shot, one kill on even the biggest tree rats.

    Selling on this forum.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm selling a LNIB S510, and went to list it on Craigslist, but they prohibit air/pellet gun sales. Anyone got feedback on CL enforcement on air gun ads? I'm in a large city, so local sales usually yield good responses.

    That's it, game over I'm done, Hang it up

    I've taught several new female shooters. Once they understand how the tool works, they usually get confortable quickly, and do better than most male newbs.
