Slugs with FX Bobcat .30?
- Thread starter yoteloco
- Start date
Mine is MKII so post of reg setting and how much hammer tension past factory setting would be helpful too

Smooth twist has never been good with slugs. Only slug that may have a chance it the hybrids. Who know when they will come out.

If you're madly in love with it and with the idea of shooting slugs you can probably buy an STX barrel assembly in your caliber and sand down the barrel house for an inch or two on the breech end ever so slightly. (Hows that for a sentence!)
That way it'll slide right into your breech. (Assuming its the same size as Boss breech) And you'll have a smooth twist X system and be able to use any liners in that caliber.
You can then re-blue the sanded or turned down area if you have the means. CHUCK did this then Jking sent it my way a year or two ago. He modified it to fit an early Streamline i believe and works great in my Boss which i believe use the same block. Just be careful its thin already because the threads are there and won't be much material to play with. Shoots great for me.

Hi Glem
The poor thing about the Bobcat MKII is that the front of the rail that mounts the scope is attached to the barrel with a bushing. The Boss has the floating cannon

Thanks. I'd probably leave it as a backyard pellet shooter before all that! I'm picking up the FX Impact whenever it comes in because I like the slug liner idea that those will have. Who knows how long till thats out in the 35 but it will be cool
