I thought for sure that the FX STX Lightweight barrel would fit on the first version FX Crown. The one that had the barrel that extended to provide moderation.
Looking at them, the tubes that slide into the receiver looked identical. But when I slid the lightweight barrel into the receiver it was short of engaging with the alignment pin. When I looked closer there is like only ⅛ inch difference in the length of that tube. Just enough that the alignment pin wouldn't engage. Why in hell would FX not make the barrels interchangeable between model versions?????? Or am I missing something?????
