Old Fx X barrel system in new FX breech?

[darkcharisma]

I have an FX Crown VP coming. But someone told me that the old X barrel system won't fit snug in the new breech and won't shoot accurately due to that. 

My current FX barrel is .536 or 13.60mm outside diameter. What is the new OD of the 2019 X barrels? Can someone measure that? Thanks

Hmmm....not certain if this applies, but I just measured a Crown brass breech diameter from 2018 and compared it to a brand new Crown Continuum and there is about .0055" difference with the 2018 brass breech piece being larger by that margin.

I was told that same story about a spacer being needed to tighten it up, but FX didn't make the spacers yet. I'm thinking that is a BS story, but you make up your own mind.

Hope this helps.

if the 2018 brass piece is larger, it means if i use the 2018 barrel in the Crown. it should fit snug. 



thanks for the measurement
