FX T12 whisper synthetic

miltoncaniff · Feb 9, 2019

I just ordered a used FX T12 whisper synthetic .22 from AofA. I did a little research and they originally came with a Lothar Walther barrel. Now that they come with the smoth twist barrel I was wondering if I so chose, could I install a smooth twist barrel after removing the Lothar barrel? For the price I paid I am fine with whatever barrel is installed (one really can't go wrong with a Lothar, right!).

Drop in replacement, I'm not sure. A good gunsmith can do miracles, just depends on how much time, effort, and money you want to spend.

Has anyone found and installed a regulator for the T12 Whisper. A number of regulator manufacturers specifically say they do not make one for the Whisper.

You are going to love your T12 Whisper. I have one in .25 and it shoots beautifully. The first thing I would recommend adding is a pressure gauge.

I've not yet bought a regulator, but I found 2 options. Both brands get good reviews.

Glad I can help! This forum has been a godsend for a lot of people.

My Whisper doesn't have a pressure gauge and I'm not the best about counting my shots.

It shouldn't be that big a deal since I top off my airguns every time I use them, but it is. The Whisper is my only gun that doesn't have a manometer. The others have spoiled me.

AOA has them and they are easy to install. This is a pretty simple rifle to take apart.

I put the manometer for AofA on my wish list and as soon as I have had a chance to shoot the T12 I'll consider the regulator. Funny you mentioned not installing one yet. Everythimg I have read about the T12 say that even without a regulator it will put out 30-50 shots within a respectable +/- FPS.

I have a T12-FT, which I feel sure uses the same diameter reservoir, and I purchased an Audrius regulator from eBay. It arrived from Lithuania very quickly, and looks very well made. I have not installed it yet

Search eBay for "FX pressure regulator". Price is $69, and I waited for a 15% code.

I love my whisper!! In .22 no need for a reg Gaige maybe I have had no need in the last two years

Having owned 2 of FX T12's with LW barrels ... Nothing wrong with them & actually prefer a conventional less pellet picky LW barrel to a ST barrel.

Thanks for the input! We had another round of snow so I haven't had a chance to shoot it much.

This rifle is a shooter! How would I tell a Lothar Walther barrel from a Smooth Twist? I'm sill leaning towards a regulator with a 45cc extension and maybe the guage. I actually get between 30-40 shots between 850 and 860fps. If I go beyond that, it starts falling off from 850 to 820 in the next ten shots. I just wonder how much better it would do with the extension and the regulator?
