Fx Crown slug liner .22

[Arvid]

Hi

Need some help regarding slug liner. Planning to buy from Krale Sport (I live in Norway). I have FX Crown .177 and would like to uppgrade to .22. Will 700mm fit my Crown? Or is that length just for the Impact? Is 500/600mm better? This is not for hunting. Its for plinking at steel targets at 150 to as far as i can It seems like the 500mm is the only one that will fit my gun?

All impact barrels will fit on a crown. But you might not find a 700mm barell kit for crown, as it is probably not recomended by FX. What you can do, is to buy impact kit and a separate crown pellet probe. 700mm is very long om a crown, so a 600mm might work good with some lighter slugs?

Do NOT put a 700mm impact barrel on your crown, you will have accuracy problems.

FX had to reinvent the wheel with the new crown 700mm barrel they sell with the contiuum package.

Just wait it out for the 700mm crown barrel, im sure they will be selling the upgrade kit for them soon.

Just because there's been an improvement in barrel securement doesn't mean he will have problems with the existing system.

That said, a 600mm barrel will do just fine with 23 or 24gr slugs.

You can btw get pellet probes from https://shop.luftvapen.se/ if krale doeas not have them.

Yeah, this exactly. I've experienced zero accuracy issues with the new 700mm and the standard 600mm barrel systems.

Like Bob says, you can shoot 23-24gr without issue, if you want to maximize power you'll need to increase hammer tension or introduce a hammer weight (or both, depending on whether or not you want to mod your hammer spring guide).

FX themselves I think reccomended not using the 700mm barrels on the Crown at one point, however you must also consider the 480cc Korean bottles are not perfectly round and in some cases can be extremely close to the shroud assembly, unless of course you shoot without shrouds.

I have not tried any of my 700's on my Crowns, simply because the 600's work so well there is not really any point VS the very long length of the gun anyways, I found even with a 600mm barrel on the Crown you have to be careful not to bang it on things in close proximity.

I had the same concerns that Mark brings up, but I discovered that it was a non-issue on my Continuum. That said, I use McNett camo wrap on my bottle guns hunting (where I have greater concern over possible damages being incurred).

#1 if you want to caliber convert, you're gona need a whole nother barrel kit (comes with probe too) 

#2 700mm barrel kit is not out yet. I have one, but only because I bought a continuum.
