Just got confirmation from FX that the mini magazines (14 shots I think?) are actually a little deeper so will fit all 40gr slugs. Plus, they say they will be making the full size mags slightly deeper too๐๐ผ
-
the sound of that weapon with that musslebrake is just totally amazing! amazing, content! you got me in to airguns, bought an MK1 SN185 FX crown, im very happy with it
-
This was an epic series of videos. Could you do a similar set up/tune video for the panthera?
-
We still have a raw product. I see the following upgrades: 1 Installation of firing pin preload from Maverick or Wildcat-Mk3. 2 Make a port in the MDT chassis for adjusting the pressure of the regulator. 3 Isolate the barrel from high pressure with a carbon pipe. Installed inside the reservoir. The barrel remains suspended in the pipe.
-
Very interesting video. I really enjoy watching the details on how you set up an air rifle. Thank you for taking the time to share.
-
There is an aftermarket brass jam plate for the Dreamline hammer adjustment screw, maybe it fits the DRS because it looks the same. It prevents the hammer spring adjustment screw from backing out.

You can get one hell of a 22lr for the cost of this, but I am lucky enough to live where you can own firearms
-
We all would love to have these guns but who has 3grand for a air gun, when you can get top line rim fire 1/3price.
-
Looks good. 910 airgun tunning & repair makes a brass locking nut for the dreamline maybe it will fit the drs?
-
Ahh, spring tension like the good old days with Typhoon... :)
-
You'll be hard pressed to get this little amount of variances between shots with factory loaded center-fired cartridges. It really AMAZING the leaps and bounds that are happening in the air gun world thanks to you and others Matt, keep up the great work!! Now this part I'm just kidding you, but yah gotta learn how to pronounce aluminum, LOL ๐๐๐

This is like Christmas morning haha thanks Matt
-
Amazing bro
-
Super interesting video and the way in which the topic of weapon tuning is shown. It would be great to see the same thing with the Impact or Panthera, although it is surely the same method, but the set and hammer results are not. Congratulations and slds from PCP Hunter Argentina

Fx should make something upgrade kits for them older model, royale 500 and bobcat etc! It would be nice to customers and it will give respect to Fx. Everybody have not money buy 2000โฌ gun to change to shoot slugs and so on.
-
Great work mate! I love this kit, I'm def getting one of these one day. Thanks for your 2 part videos. I'd love to see this gun compete with a rimfire in range and in accuracy. Maybe you could do such a vid this year, pls? But anyway, keep it up! Best Regards
-
Absolutely love air rifles but I really wish one of you guy's on these forums would answer the biggest question I get from Rimfire shooter's? Why air rifles over Rimfire besides they are quiet ? After they (the Rimfire shooter's) see the prices on what you need to get set up properly, they instantly get turned off. So why wouldn't you just buy a .22RF? No one on these forums can answer that question? That's what these Rimfire shooter's want to know.

Man i can't wait for the impact m4, if they do it right it'll be a beast.

Thank you Matt for this great miniseries about this airgun! I learned a lot from your videos. ๐ There is one thing I cannot understand though! How and why FX Airguns missed such an opportunity with this gun! As you explained the regulator pressures has to be high to compete with rim fires, but then you also need a very high pressure in your main cylinder (barrel shroud in this case). I really don't understand why the carbon shroud is not made so it can go to at least 280 Bars, ideally 300 Bars?! You'll get much more shots on your settings or you would be able to push the velocities of 40gr slugs even higher! I hope at least the internals of the gun are built tough enough to handle pressures around 300Bar in main cylinder and around 200 in regulated part and there will be some upgrade kit later this year... Otherwise it's really a sad story about missed opportunity... ๐

Wow!!! ๐๐๐โคโคโค Will that carbon cylinder fit over my new 700mm FX Dynamic? The empty shroud up front feels like a waste of space which can be used to store more air volume = more shots, after all... Most of us will use a moderator at the end of the barrel. What an awesome idea that DRS!!!๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐๐๐
