FYI, his username is powershiFt and not powerpoop, ha ha. Just saying. Anyhow, I am wondering if anyone can tell what the difference is between the FX INDY and FX INDEPENDENCE?
Thanks.

This answer is for kmd1984. I would have quoted you but for some odd reason I can't. the indy is the bullpup or shorty. and the independence is the full length rifle version of the 2. not a big fan of those bullpups myself. I got the independence in .22 for pest control in the back yard farm of mine. juts tossing this out must have got a bad batch of the Baracuda hunter xtremes. some of them are all over the place. had some of those 18.39 JSB'S around and they are shooting straight. guess you can't win them all.

I know that my Independence does not like the H&N Baracuda power 21.14 gr pellets and man are they ever hard ...I would think a lot of shooting them would wear out the rifling

Mine likes them it's just I got some wonky pellets. in a couple of tins guess I might have to start sorting them out. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what fun that shall be.

I will have to save that project for a time and day. when I have nothing else to do. got 10 tins to sort guess I will have to get that pellet gauge doo hickey.

AOA has a video online of how to repair and inspect the pump system on the Independence. I would buy an oring kit from them you will be good for many years.

Edit: The H&N 21gr pellets shoot well after they have been sorted by head size. There can be quite a variance in a tin which I have found contributes to inaccuracies with this pellet. Once sorted, they shoot great - good enough to be my pellet of choice for the Gun Slinger competition at last years Pyramyd Cup shoot.

I wanted to get this gun but AoA dissuaded me because I live in a humid environment. Evidently there will be a lot of water build up in the gun if you pump it in that kind of environment. I'm wondering if any of you have this gun in a humid environment (east coast) and what your experience has been.

I'm located in the mountains of northwest Pennsylvania and during the summer months it can be quite humid here for a few weeks at a time. Certainly nothing like southern states or costal areas, but still humid at times. With that said I have twice had to open up the air inlet of little 22cc reservoir of my Independence to find a very small water droplet trapped there, but it was simple to take care of. Remember, everything that compresses air has to deal with moisture to some degree. Hand pumps, air compressors and even rifles like a Benjamin pump 392. If I shoot my Benjamin 392 in the summer, after about 20 consecutive high pump count shots, a slight moisture stream blows out the barrel with each shot.
