Tominco's FX Crown (pic heavy!)

I bought a Walnut .30 Cal, I had it for 30 minutes and noticed that jagged hole in the top Right back corner of breech. It actually cut me 
I see you have a hole in yours as well, Mine was on the corner and was very poorly done and engineered. apparently these are free hand drilled as they are in a different locations for all of them I have seen

The hole illustrates the thin metal used in manufacturing, it is surprisingly thin. Explains how light the rifle is. -out 


For an $1,800 pellet rifle, I thought it was too poorly thought out, not to mention I had to look at every time I shot it.. so I returned it. Also, Not a fan of the Rotating Lock-out Silencer, it was hit or miss and clumsy, the Base would unthread etc. I also think at this price point there should be a protection for loading a second third etc pellet in the chamber. 
It didn't come with a single shot tray. The walnut stock was VERY thin at many places most noticeable around the O2 Bottle, which brings me to the Carbon Bottle, it looked like it was made by a 5 year old in fiberglass class. It is bumpy, textured, and looked like it didn't belong on a $1,800 gun. ITS UGLY. The fill port is millimeters away from the Gauge on the bottom, be carful you don't break the gauge. 
I am not trying to rip this rifle, there are great things about it, like........... Regulated power, an accurate barrel, and fairly quiet.. but isn't this already done by others for hundreds less?

"archerhmr"Any thoughts on how to adjust trigger for weight and travel?

I played with this a while.

Honestly I was very disappointed that the second stage on the FX Airguns including the Crown are
a second spring that you can adjust when it engages but cannot adjust the preload to lighten the overall weight.

You can reduce the weight slightly by making the engagement of the second spring very short before the break but 
in my experience you cannot get it as low as I like for a great benchrest trigger. My current benchrest gun breaks at 4.7 oz.
It took a while to get used to but now even an 8 oz. trigger feels like a ton.
 
Yes it is a manufacturers “hole” but at $1,800 a poorly designed and engineered one at that in my opinion. Mine was actually jagged and irregular, and cut my skin as it was partially on the corner of the metal. When I first saw it I truly believed the gun had been hit at that corner and damaged. It certainly didn’t look like an intended hole. Anyway, I sent mine back. I emailed the company, the owner of the company emailed me back and asked me to call him, but at $2.00 a minute I’ll buy another rifle :). Long and short of this is in my interpretation and I have had a lot of rifles the Crown seems very delicate and cheaply made. The barrel system is a nice thought, and the shroud works, but the extension of it is very clumsy, the twist to tight and then the base starts to unscrew, so back to tighten that. VERY VERY Easy to jam two or more pellets . Meh ... I wasn’t impressed, if the hole wasn’t there though I guess I would have kept it. 
 
Thanks, I understand what the hole is for, my issue with it is, on my version of the rifle the hole had jagged edges, and for a $2,000 rifle, I think the hole could have been thought out and implemented a little better. For example, how about some sort of cover for it?? A rubber stopper, a sliding access, something!.. To just have a random jagged hole on the top of the receiver is unaaceptable at this level. What about moisture, Dust, debris... falling into this "hole"?? like I said.. it is ridiculous, it appears to be an afterthought in engineering, and for my $2,000 they need to fix it.

I could not agree more!
When I had mine, you could twist the stock and it would rub against the bottle creating a squeak.
I inset the bottle opening enough that it did not do that anymore, but why on a $2000 gun?
Then even after that you can see down each side of the action because there was a 1/16" gap between the stock and action.

I really liked my Crown and the possibilities in adjustment, however I just had to swap to RAW's for the 
extra attention to detail, those little issues drove me nuts!


 
"Glem.Chally"The threaded pin has a hole in a similar spot on the Royale series, I don't think it's ever been an issue (from what I've read/seen). All the holes for the grub screws that hold the barrel are even a bigger more attractive hole for sand/debris. Pretty much a non-issue IMO.
I am not too sure you understand or maybe I don't understand you. I am not referring to a threaded hole, or a spot where screws go in as you have referenced. This is a gaping drilled or punched out hole for apparently no other reason than to reach a screw at the bottom of receiver. There isn't a screw in this hole, it is not threaded! I could literally pour sand if i was so inclined into this hole and fill the receiver with sand. I will say it again, it is unacceptable at this price point to have this in any gun. 
 
"jking"WE GOT IT racingbirds, you don't like the design.

Clearly you don’t “got it”! I keep getting defensive responses that are completely off the mark. You cant compare a threaded, or screw hole to this “hole”. You know why I am harping on it? Because I got harrassed for calling the “hole” out by the retailer and no suppoet from manufacturer. If I have to ssy it 1,000 times I will, and you FX fanboys will defend your over rated over priced guns 1,001 times. It is a hole that was poorly done and makes a $2,000 gun worth 700

I'll give you 750 not a $ more.

My mistake, this is on my Royale thought it was similar.
