That one I have no ideas....I got three of mine from FX and through AirgunofAtizona, US.

"weatherby"I suppose they are mixed up all the way

The current Royale series in full power .25 versions seen in NL/Be have mostly 2 power settings.
However I have owned Swedish 10 joule .25 versions of the Bobcat MKII and a R500 black pepper, which both had 3 power settings.
I currently own a full power .177 R400 field target, and that one also has got 3 power settings.
Never seen a .177 or .22 Royale/Bobcat with only 2 power settings, I think it's a .25 thing only.

Kind regards,

NL/BE as in Netherlands and Belgium???
Interesting that the versions vary from country to country. Anyhow, can you "upgrade" a 10 joule gun to a 45 joule gun, by simply changing the regulator?! (Assuming that that is how they lower the power?).
Now that you are mentioning it, I remember reading something about it as well. .25 only comes with two power settings and the .177/.22 in three. At least here in the USA, I guess...

Thank,

Yup, indeed, Netherlands and Belgium
To crank up the power, the inner transfer port has to be drilled to 4.5mm, the valve retainer has to be drilled open to let it vent to atmospheric pressure, and a extra hammer weight has to be added.
The R500 was unregulated, the Bobcat MKII is always regulated.
I had to play around a bit with the reg pressure as well to get the Bobcat at the desired 60 joules.
Great guns though, I currently have 2, a Boss and the R400FT. After holidays in Sweden this number might increase again


To upgrade from 10j you need a Kit of parts to replace the Old ones.

Here are kits for different types of FX rifles

Hi Tony, I made/changed these parts myself.
The parts in the kit are the parts I mentioned which need to be changed.
I drilled the transfer port to 4.5mm (the "static" transfer port inside the power wheel), turned a hammer weight for the hammer, and drilled a hole in the valve retainer to let it vent to atmospheric pressure.
If I'm not mistaking, the hammer weight is only nescessary for the .25 cal.
But it is a lot easier to just buy the kit, not everbody has got access to a lathe and milling machine.
