Edgun Lelya 2.0, free floated tension barrel system

[Goldwing]

Can anyone tell me what other PCP air rifles have the free floated tension barrel system that Edgun began using a decade ago?

I hate how barrels rings can effect the accuracy of a good air rifle, or if I grab and support a bottled rifle it can have a devastating effect on pellet impact, so who else marches to the same beat as Ed dose with the free floated tension barrel system?

Thanks

"Free floated"..."tension barrel". 

A contradiction in a single sentence -

A "free floated" is..."free" floated. That is, it has a "single" connection to the gun.

A "tensioned" barrel, has two connections to the gun. That is, one at each end, equaling, two...contact points !

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how that would work, lol.

A free-floating barrel is one where the barrel and stock are designed to not touch at any point along the barrel's length. The barrel is attached to its receiver, which is attached to the stock, but the barrel "floats freely" without contacting any other gun parts (except the front sight, which is often mounted on the barrel). This minimizes the variance in possible mechanical pressure distortions of the barrel alignment, and allows vibration to occur at the natural frequency consistently and uniform shot-by-shot.

American Air Arms also uses a tensioned barrel system on their Evol and Slayer guns.

FX tried to play the buzz word game too but they were equally wrong. A free floating barrel is mounted to the receiver and has no other support. Any other description is BS.

 

[heavy-impact]

Free floating in relation to the air res.

There is only one definition for free floating, anything else is meaningless to the purpose of being free floating.

Here we are an answer over the nit picking of words, all I want is who else makes airgun like Edgun?

The video at 7:20 explains it, no one even mention that

1) American Air Arms

2) keep it coming.........

I just let my wife's shooting with her Lelya 2.0 speak- essentially stating: Superlative is a good enough description. Arguing semantics over what is an excellent mounting system that reduces barrel harmonics and enhances durability is the same as arguing over whether Canadian Bacon is just ham. I like bacon of any type, American Air Arms and EdGun both produce excellent airguns, and a rigid mounting system reduces the chance of barrel deflection.

Terminology sure can cause touchiness

No touchiness here whatsoever, I'm just helping to stop the spread of misinformation.

I only see an addition of American Air Arms as helpful information... and not from you

I deleted my post not to cause more drama than needed. There are many guns with floating barrels. Having a tension nut is still floating, even if MikeVW does not think so.

Bingo. My Daystate Red Wolf is free floating. All three of my EDGuns are tensioned. Simple. Heavy-Impact is correct. Free floating is only attached to the breech. Nothing else touches the barrel between the barrel and the rest of the gun. Tensioned is putting tension on the barrel with something (a nut and shroud for example) like EDgun or AAA. The FX STX system is not tensioned. If anything there is compressive force on the liner from the barrel nut. The Impact is "kinda" free floating but not really...

Great we have three free floating so far:

1) Edgun

2) American Air Arms

3) Daystate Red Wolf

Mine was around before any of those on the list … free-floated all along.

What rifle is the "Mine" air rifle?
