FX Maverick question

[IPA55]

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Found a Maverick under the tree today(whata wife). Only got to play with it for a short while. Question, sounds like something sliding in the cheek piece area when the barrel is moved up and down (floor to ceiling) when not cocked, is this normal? I wouldn't think so, will call tomorrow, but for now I'm just curious.

Completely normal. It’s the free floating hammer. The wildcats do the same. I have a MK1 Wildcat that does it and my Maverick does it also.

Oh, thanks you just made my day even better. This is my first higher end pcp.

You're going to love it when you shoot it. I have a 700mm .30. It's a hammer. congrats.

IPA55 -

Just to verify, as others have said, yes, the sound that you hear is the hammer moving around in its bore. It's designed differently from most other designs.

You should really like it. I have the "Compact" version.

when the Fx (most of them) is cocked that stops. I have a bearcat, Impact and a maverick. They are all great, at 72, I prefer the Maverick not as many adjustments as the Impact but enough to do what I want.
