Was really looking for guidance on bedding my 93R17 and you’re video could have been really helpful had you shown the details of taping and pouring epoxy
You guys don’t know anything about safety. Here in Texas you will go to jail. They will take your weapon and you will get a very hefty fine. Your next to a road with vehicles going by and then your in a neighborhood shooting towards an intersection.
Thanks very much for this. I just bought a used Impact and found that the safety didn't work so the gun would fire even although the safety was on. Thanks to your video I fixed the issue and the gun now has a working safety
Firstly, great videos, keep them coming. I watch them over and over again and each time I have more questions to research. Secondly, if you want more power, change the hammer spring compression to a higher k value and compress the hammer spring compression to 50% ' give me your hammer spring free length. outside diameter, wire diameter and total number of coils and I will tell you the springs K-value, which will probably be between 8 to 30 pounds per inch then increase the k-value two notches above your springs k-value and start bringinging the regulator pressure up until the velocity plateuse then regulator back 4% for maximum power and air efficiency. The shot count? what about it? Power and shot count are on each ends of a teetertotter with the fulcrum being the amount of usable air from cylinder pressure down to regulator pressure. Do you know the main tube and plenum volumes? if you give those values plus the great data you give in your videos along with the ambient temperature in your shop range, I can calculate down to the number of average air molecules per shot and per fpe then you can compare apples to apples. Lastly, numbers don't lie, but you can lie with numbers, and the laws of physics are not just really good ideas. FJB Out!
I just ordered this gun yesterday, won’t be here for about two weeks but I’m excited to get it set up. I have a Bergara BMR Carbon and it shoots unbelievable with Norma tac22. Very fun gun to shoot. Hoping this B14r shoots at least as well. Great video by the way. Thanks !
Hola amigo, me gustaría ver los arreglos que le hiciste a su rifle por favor, si tienes algúna red social ya sea facebook o Instagram donde me puedas mostrar que arreglos se le pueden hacer para mejorar el rifle, te lo agradecería mucho. Yo tengo un FX DINAMIC y me gustaría hacer lo que tú le hiciste a tu rifle, si es que tienes algún vídeo donde muestres y así yo pueda hacerlo en el mío...muchas gracias y saludos desde mi país CHILE 🇨🇱🇨🇱
Great review. I like the ones where guys put a few thousand rounds through the rifle before talking about it. Nice job. 👍 Now put a moderator on that thing. You won’t need hearing protection.
Hey helo, could you provide the dimensions of the spring you changed in the TEXAN? Outer diameter and wire thickness? I can't find it anywhere. I have the possibility to make one cheaper than AAO sells. Sorry for my English, I use a translator :) Greetings
I have been using just .25 cal 34 grain pellets @ 960 FPS with 70 FPE, and frequently take groundhogs past 120 yards. The drop is just crazy at that distance also, but I have yet to find a slug that my LWMG Polygonal choked barrel likes. I watched 1 video a couple years ago that used a NSA 38.5 grain slug with good results so I got some and duplicated the speeds in the video but could not duplicate his accuracy. I just have to accept my LCS SK-19 is NOT a slug gun sadly. So much power and ease of adjustability and can't use a damn slug! The .22 cal version uses a LWMG barrel but it is grooved and not a polygonal barrel. It would be much better for slugs IMO than a polygonal that is choked. I have used both but sold the .22 cal SK-19. It loved FX Hybrids. Both guns are ridiculously accurate , powerful, and a blast to shoot being semiautomatic. Follow Ups when needed are instant and appreciated greatly v/s manual cocking a side lever which are still very nice over a bolt action IMO. Good information bud...thank you.
Have you had any luck using the fx hybrids? I know their not heavy for better bc, but they seem to expand and grenade. Good for close range? I've taken out racoons out to 80yds with head shots using them. Body and head shots at 50 and closer. Dropped opossums at 80yds with head and body shots. Shooting them at 900fps out of a kral puncher breaker silent. Just curious if you've tried them.
Yes, I ran them when I first bought the FX impact and the Pantera. I really didn’t mind them. I like the fact you could shoot them faster than most Ammunition. And the tuning they weren’t as fussy on. It seemed like you could just load them up and shoot them. After I learn more about tuning is when I switched to different ammo.
So when I purchased this bipod, the only options they had was the PRS version, standard, double pull, and triple pull. I never seen a heavy duty one although I imagine that would’ve been a better choice for me as well cause I need just a little more weight out the front end. But this height has been perfect clearing the beans in the fields and also Shooting PRS matches.
Nice video and explanation the math behind pellets, slugs and the damage they can do with different weight, speed and distance. I think they FX king will be perfect for the different application you like to do and I bet you come up with so more awesome videos. I be watching 🤙
Yes thank you! The FX King is something I almost wanted to purchase solely for woodchuck hunting because of the larger tank and the beautiful Woodstock. I really want that gun.
I can't wait to see more hunting other than birds. These air rifles are capable of so much more then some dang birds. I like the content brother. I recently got a Dynamic 700 mm .30 and it's a monster. Shooting Griffin 78 grain boattails at 985 fps 168 fpe and that thing slaps. I just dropped a groundhog at 90 yards and the last groundhog I shot was last year with the .22 M3 800 mm and I hit it twice at 80 yards. 1 in the neck and 1 in the heart and it still made it down the hole so I switched to .25 caliber on the M3 and it hits like a truck. Shooting 50 grain AVS boattails at 1008 fps for 112 fpe. It dropped 2 coons at 50 and 120 yards. I'm just yapping now. Lol! Can't wait to see more.
That is true if indeed you are shooting them at the same speed, but when you push it up there near max, the 34 becomes flatter due to you being able to shoot it faster. The 34 grain Griffin boattails I'm shooting only have 5.2 inches of drop at 100 yards vs the 40 grain Griffins at 1040 fps have 5.7 inches of drop but the 40s do retain more energy downrange with the higher ballistic coefficient. Get you some Griffin boattails in .217
So far range time this rifle shoots well, the dilemma I’m having right now is the hammer spring is worn out from being probably left cocked for so long before I bought it so I can’t get every round to detonate. I am looking for a spring that will fit it and once I do, I will probably update the channel on the rifle.
Good stuff. I also enjoy budget builds on my stuff. Have almoat the same rifle. Just mine is a 16.5 in barrel, bull barrel. And accu trigger. But ha e definitely got some good idea from. Eps 1&2 going be watching eps 4 next. Will probably do the bottem rail. As i have a tripod for my camera and it would fit nicely . Very cool and well done video/videos. Like the style.
I'm 1000% with you! I could give a F less about any stupid airgun that sends a pellet downrange in the 700 fps range! 1,000,000,000% not interested!! "I shoot in a barn", So what! I don't! To me, if a .22 PCP won't shoot 900 fps with a 18.13, I'm not interested. Have a nice day. Just shut the "F" up! Don't care! "All you need is 12 ft lbs to take small game." Good! You go ahead and use that stupid, anemic bullshit. I will use 32 ft lbs in .22 and 55 ft lbs in 25. Because I live in the land of the free, and the home of the brave, BITCHES! Good Night Now!
I measured the distance needed and bought a cheap arca rail off of Amazon for like camera mounts. Then drilled and tapped my rifle stock for a 8-32 screw. It’s the same size as the sling studs. I made sure I was deep enough to hit the aluminum inside the rifle stock.
I'm planning on changing out the trigger screws. What size set screws do I need. I know it takes 1.5mm hex drive but I don't know the screw size. Thanks!
I use the same brand of ammo. When you went from the aluminum tank to the Airforce carbon tank (not your Africa Ordinance tank) what was the difference in speed, as well as accuracy. Did accuracy remain the same? I want to upgrade my original aluminum tank to the carbon fiber and want to make sure the upgrade is worth it. By the way, I have the same suppressor on mine and man the gun is long, but quiet.
I did not have a chronograph when I had upgraded from the aluminum tank, so I am not sure what kind of power and speed differences. I do remember I had valve lock with the higher pressure and had to adjust my hammer spring, but that’s about all I remember.
What are your impressions of this now that you have had it about a year. I really need to get a compressor (have used a hand pump for years, and it sucks). That being said, I only use my .457 Texan for coyotes, so we aren't talking about many shots when I take it out.
