FX Royal 400- Like I needed another airgun.

You will have to remove that large block that is at the rear of the receiver before you will be able to rock the action out of the stock.
Just loosening it up may work, but you may have to remove it.
Those stocks are a bit fiddly to disassemble and reassemble.

The front and back parts came off easy. It is the center wrapped around the action. I have all the bolts off but it ain’t moving.

I have a laminate stocked 400- love it! Since you have such a high scope rail the higher capacity mags from one of the other FX models may fit as long as they're the same width as the mag slot and have the same barrel indexing. I suggest you contact FX USA about it. The blue goo looks like loctite.

Congratulations Wild! Very nice Tactical 400! Just hope you figure out how remove the action....

I remember mine being a pretty tight fit, and I had to persuade it out by rocking it to and fro before it would release.
The previous owner didn't glue it in hopefully, no evidence of that correct?

Reinstall the front of the stock, grab it by that and the base of the barrel right before the receiver, and give her the old persuasion.

Looks pretty rough where the pellet enters. Lead shavings laying there. That may need some work. Seems like you might get occasional flyers.

It was all built up lead. I have never seen a rifle this dirty from just usage.

That looks good. Glad that's all it was.

FX Royal line is reliable, no matter the externals. They ara accurate and reliable.

Normally you do not buy with Royal the problems of the FX meccano shooting line rifles.

A few more pictures. Chunks of lead were falling out when I pulled the shroud out. The PO was a firm believer in not cleaning the barrel if accuracy is good. The first patch was saturated with enough lead that I set it aside to melt down.

The factory truck bed texture had to go. I knew staining the wood and not getting blotchy color would be a challenge but I went with a dark walnut and oil finish. I don’t think the squirrels will notice it isn’t perfect.

AOA came through on the trigger pin. The tech was kind enough to go through his stash of parts and mail one out to me. Awesome service!

Great effort on the rejuvenation of that Royale.
I think it looks perfect, ominous and 'been there' are the vibes it gives off in pictures.

Well done!

You should see the 1995 Dodge Cummins I drive.. You described it perfectly. Think Orca from Jaws.
