Hi Mike and thanks for the great comment and for watching … glad you’re happy with the tac … it is a fantastic. airgun no doubt

No problem Mikey ... in fact it’s pleasure and you know it makes sense mate ... if you need to check one out before parting with your pennies pop down and have a looksee

Great to hear this … hope you get many days of shooting with it … if not years

Hi Peter thanks so much for the comment and you are so right Roger is a great guy and so very helpful ... obviously guided by Shiela all the way 😬 great choice of gun too you’ll be happy with it I’m sure

Hi Craig ... great to hear how happy you are with the DL-Lite and how well it’s performing ...

i have something in the pipeline with some of the Custom Targets gear ... time is so short these day but it's going to happen soon

Hi jimmy and appreciate the comment ... yeah very back garden friendly ... with the DonnyFL on obviously and I don’t have too much range either .. I’m so impressed with this DLC-Tac

glad you liked the vid and happy to have helped ... once i've hacked my way through work commitments i'll be uploading another DLC Tac vid plus some freebie giveaways

Hi Steve thanks for the comment and glad you got sorted with SYSS ... Shiela and Roger are always happy to help with anything ... I was there yesterday having my 6.5cm trigger adjusted and could have spent all day there just chatting ... you’ll love the DLC-Tac

You sound just like me Luis with a great selection of fx’s

Wish I could go out and buy one..None to be had In the US .

@@nizzmo100 Hi mate and thanks for the comment ... that is not good ... it's a great gun but i'm sure it will be available again soon

Hi again Casper and thanks for the comment ... the AA's are brilliant in all mine too ... got to get out with the side shot scope cam and get some footage with the DLC-Tac

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 sounds good Mick, ill be waiting mate, Cheers

Hi Fred and thanks so much for the comment ... I try to be as informative as piss without getting too technical but if it’s required I can certainly do that too, just want to say it as it ya and how I find it ... it really is a superb gun and I’m out n it w with it ... doesn’t want to miss🙄 it honestly is a hunters dream

Hi and thanks for the comment... it certainly is a great air rifle and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the Maverick ... keep us informed please

Hi Ozark and thanks for commenting ... it is superbly accurate and I know you’ll be over the moon with it when you get one

Think you’ll be very happy with it David … it’s my favourite sub12 by far

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 That's good to hear as I plan to tune it down to a sub-12ish FPE for fairly CQ "squirrelling"!

@@davidausterman5915 just be aware that if it’s on ticket it will have to stay on ticket but rest assured that with the right silencer on it will be plenty quiet

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Hoping my Tatsu will keep dB down pretty well. From what I’ve read, sounds like it should. Plan to tune with it in place to control all variables.

@@davidausterman5915 the tatsu will do an awesome job mate … I’ve used mine on fac and it worked a treat

Hi Scott ... yeah i spoke to AA about this but they have their own dies for the AA;s and JSB's ... thanks for the comment too

hi Jakub and thanks for the comment ... i've been planning a bit of a swap around wth a few pieces but just cannot put it down for long enough ... bipod id 1st to go

hi and thanks for the comment ... glad you liked the vid ... got to apologise though as i've been crazy busy with my day job to get the next ones out ... but hoping to get them sorted asap including the next giveaway

Sounds an awesome set up Collin ... thanks for sharing

Thanks David for the comment ... sounds like you have the perfect backpack gun set up ... i'm now looking at swapping out the mounts again ... i just cannot get the right eye relief on the Airmax compact even with the one piece droop compensation mount so i'm looking at 2" reach back mounts ... watch this space.

Thanks for the comment Carl ... I have a lite in fac and it’s awesome ... still early days with the Tac but very impressed and happy with it so far

Hi madman and thanks for the the great comment… it certainly is a superb gun and I know you’ll be happier with it every day … keep us informed on how you fit it out … really interesting to see how others set their tacs up

Very helpful tho mate defo well done

Hi Kyle I have to be honest I have absolutely no idea which white gold you mean … Barry white did an album called white gold but I’m sure there’s not much chance of any confusion between us two although I do class him as one of my favourite performers … thanks for watching and the comments though mate

Got to agree mate … it certainly is a great gun and well priced

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Have you had any issues with POI changes on it? I heard FX switched to the lighter barrel at some point on the dream-tacts and people have issues with that, but if this is one from when they first released them maybe doesn't have that issue

@@supergreatairgunreviews hi again … never had any issues with poi shift and I believe this is the second generation dlc tac with the 300mm barrel and different shroud

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Thanks for reply. I'm in US and trying to decide to go with dream-tact compact or panthera compact in .22 will mainly shoot 15.89 for rats and ground squirrels

@@supergreatairgunreviews great choices … I’ve just got the panthera hunter compact in .22 fac and it is awesome with laser like accuracy … I’m hoping to do a vid on it shortly

Hi and thanks for watching and for the very kind comment … I’m getting around 4 mags from a full air tube … apologies for the slow response too

Thanks for this awesome comment Arthur … the dlc tac is now sporting the InfiRay scd35 Saim nv scope … got a mission planned for it but so busy with things at the moment

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Cool!

Hi Steve no problem just give me a shout ... there’s a group on FB too... FX Dreamline with plenty of DLC-Tac owners ... I’m part of the admin there so I’ll look out for you ... thanks for viewing too

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Hi Mick I've joined the FB Group (Buck Buchanan)

Steve Buchanan just seen you there .. welcome mate

Hi Scott and thanks for the question ... kits are available in various shapes.and sizes ... from stocks to buddy bottles to barrels ... I have a lite too and I’m also looking at converting to a shorter barrel and maybe a carbon bottle ... you’ll probably need an offset adapter for the bottle too

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 cheers pal I thought the same loving the look of yours am currently waiting Delivery on Wednesday. Slowest days of my life ..I have the AR stock and the folding adapter aswell as the top rail so the barrel and the bottle will be next ..i Do want to use it in its current format first thin..I’ve never Owed FX ..I have the huntsman regal which I love ..but I watched sicario and now I am tactical all the way lol 😂

@@scottnightingale7235 fantastic film ... looking forward to “sicario 3” keep me updated on how you get on with the upgrade

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 she has arrived and wow am impressed I bent for the mag pull stock in flat earth as there was not green in stock ..I’ve got my 2 point magpul sling on route aswell ..can’t wait to shoot it now

Hi ian and thanks for the great comment ... I have actually done the same thing with the bipod except I used a rubber grommet, as used for socket back boxes, works better and is more solid but I’ll be looking for a something better ... keep me informed on how you get on with the compact ...

Hi and thanks for the question … I’m certain with all the options … barrels, plenums etc it would be great tool. I was knocking spinners at 60-75 yards with it easily straight out of the box

Hi Mark and thanks for the great comments. To be honest all three are superb airguns and the choice is not easy but taking your back injury into consideration then my pick would be the dreamline tac compact, it is a dream to carry round all day if needed, match it up with a good lightweight scope such as the Hawke Airmax compact which works really well with the dlc tac and keeps the compact theme going. Hope this helps but please keep me informed on your choice and how you get on. Take care and have fun!!

awesome Scott ... let me know how you get on with it

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Its fantastic buddy really happy with ive put donny sumo on it and a dark green houge grip and folding stock just waiting for so other little bits there is a picture in the FX group on Facebook the English one lol 😆

@@scottnightingale7235 i'll check it out in a bit mate

hi. great video , just a quick question if you dont mind. i have a fx wildcat mk2 which im thinking of selling to get some funds towards one of these, would you recomend one of these over the wildcat ? . thanks in advance

@@83bluecheese hi and thanks for the question ... it is a tough one too ... I have a mk2 and I’ll not be giving it up anytime soon but the new mk3 with the sideshot mag is a definite plus ... the adjustability is another winner over the mk2 but the dlc tac is a different animal ... being so modular it can be made into any guise to suit your needs ... I hope I never gave to make the decision on having to choose one over the other ... the mk3 might just edge it over the pair but for the time being I’m keeping both as they serve different purposes ... the “warcat” is my dedicated night set up and the dlc tac is a great stalking, hide and vehicle gun ... like I say tough choice sorry to be so indecisive

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 . thanks alot for taking the time to reply and your right its quite the tough choice. think i realy need to see one in the flesh and get a feel for it before i decide. thanks again.

@@83bluecheese I agree that would be the best way ... I think you’ll love the dlc tac though

also do you think a foregrip would fit nicely on the Picatinny rail on front?

hi Tobias and thanks for viewing ... it really is an awesome air rifle ... i think the compact suits more applications but they both are worthy of having in anyones gun cabinet

@@disgruntledoctopus4560 to be honest i think the picatinny rail is too far back to use effectively for a foregrip ... i'm hoping that maybe Donny Fl/Saber tactical might develop an extended under-slung rail like the ones for the impact

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Thank you so much for taking your time to reply to me. It would be interesting is they came up with an M4 inspired quad Picatinny to hold barrel and tank to be honest....

Hi Julian and thanks for the great words glad it helped ... yes the hogue was from SYSS ... roger and Sheila are ever so helpful

Hi Phil and thanks for the comment ... it certainly is a great walk around gun like you say ... the folding stock is solid but a long one would catch the fill port if left extended ...

sorry Derek i thought i'd replied but must have missed the send button .... the gun retails around 930ish i believe ... the stock can vary in price but generally around 100+ c/w buffer and castle nut ... some will be more ... much more and a few will be less ... scope can range from 70 upwards but don't cheap out on bad scopes ...

Hi David ... great to hear you’ve got one yourself ... still loving it and actually had it out this weekend ... be perfect for your barn work

Hi Dan … try South Yorkshire shooting supplies aka Rimfiremagic they had everything I needed … tell them I sent you … in the meantime I’ll look for the link … in fact here it is … www.rimfiremagic.co.uk/

Hi Simon and thanks for the question … in all honesty I have not found flex and issue with the dlc tac … it is a shorter barrel than my Dreamline lite which does get effected by flex if you hold the rifle by the barrel and air tube … a good friend of mine was missing the target with it and it wasn’t until I watched the video I realised he was gripping the barrel and air tube … one I pointed this out he was bang on target. The dlc tac is much shorter and I’m conscious of correctly holding the rifle to avoid flex. I have also got a barrel band for the lite from black arts design in the USA which helps prevent any kind of flex … I believe that precision rifle systems (PRS) also provide some similar and they are based in the U.K. www.pr-s.co.uk/about-us

Hi and thanks for the great comments ... I guess I should promote the channel more but I do t like pushing myself into others faces ... I speak to Phil quite regularly but I know he’s going through.a tough time at the moment but I always pass on peoples comments

Hi and thanks for the question ... it did indeed come with the folding stick adapter but I have heard of some coming without but I’m guessing these weren’t the DLC-Tac

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Thanks for the quick reply mate, yeah i rang SGC, apparently the older ones didnt come with it but now they do. Glad they ditched that ugly flared shroud aswell..

@@RevolutionIsTheOnlySolution as always it's a pleasure mate ... i was so chuffed when i saw my DLC-Tac had the slimline shroud

Hi graham and thanks for watching and for commenting ... regarding the folding stock it is a question that has been asked a few times and it would not have been allowed through the scrutiny of customs and excise if it contravened regulations in any way. Hope this helps mate

Thanks Mick - you’ve just cost me a fortune - but thanks😊. I’m very much into the back pack idea. I’ve got the original AA’s Tdk and very useful it’s been over the years but this looks a major step forward so I’m going for it. Looked at variations of it just before lockdown ( City Air Weapons - B’ham) but your’s is exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t do all the social media stuff so I’m grateful you put it on RU-vid.Thanks kiddo👍.

Graham Edwards great to hear this mate ... it is an awesome gun and even if I do say so myself a superb set up ... let neck mow how you get on with it

👍

Not sure if I understand but I think the calibre change writing will be standard, they generally come with just a single multi shot magazine and no single shot tray. new multi shot magazines will be available from your supplier the black and white gauges are indicative of age and we’re changed progressively.

Hi Patricia ... the length without the mod and stock is 550mm with the folding adapter folded you'll save another 20mm ish ... hope this helps and thanks for the question

Thx...by the way, great video¡¡¡

There will always be the haters and many of the issues stem from some of the “home tuners” that are not qualified to be messing with an Airgun … I’ve seen so many bodge jobs it’s unbelievable… sounds like yours is a good ‘un though so hope the fun continues 👍🏻

David!! i haven't yet as it went straight on the DLC-Tac ... it was briefly on my rimfiremagic 10/22 but it was a brief fitting ... probably going to fit it on a .243 which might get some sort of add on NV ... ;) thanks for the comment too

thanks Larry ... appreciate you saying that and glad you like the vid ... the attachement is a magpul qd system ... not cheap but probably the best out there ... seen a few Chinese knock offs failing and the gun dropping to the ground ... certainly not something you want for your £1k+ gun ... just for the sake of saving a few quid ..

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Thanks, didn't know magpul had one for the QD attachments. Agree high $$ but not worth finding out the hard way, :) Love that rifle setup and you are correct....what a sweet hunting rifle it is! My Wildcat has requested one as a stable mate, lol I am obliged to listen. :)

@@larrycoleman2225 listen to the cat ... it obviously knows her stuff

Hi Ryan ... thanks for watching mate and for the question ... its's the superior barrel and it actually measures 320mm from breech to muzzle and 350mm with the shroud on ... it's the latest barrel and the gun came direct from FX ... i originally said it was 300mm which may be the length without the brass inlet at the breech

Hi Neil … good question mate … I fitted a riser on the impact to clear the air bottle the Dreamline lite and tac just have the arca Swiss attachment as the air tube is narrower in diameter

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 thanks for the quick reply mate 👍

hi and thanks for the great comment ... glad you liked the video too .. the buffer spring is not needed mate it's basically in there for ar15 use

Hi Kurt ... thanks for the question. they come from the factory with just the folding adaptor but no stock or buffer tube and no DFL Mod ... I'm assuming this may be added by the suppier/distributor as an extra

Mick Garvey Air Attack MIA I’ve just ordered one for delivery next week and I don’t even know what it comes with 🙈 Are they loud with the shroud? Lol

Hi and thanks for the comment ... it's the new superior barrel which will be standard fitment on the next batch ... apparently the length of my barrel is 300mm but measures 350mm with the shroud ... so 50mm of shroud ... i'll strip things down to confirm all this once i can stop shooting it ...

But, the thick one is 380 mm. barrel, so the ´slim´ one is shorter? Just 300mm... ?

Patricia Cristobal yeah that’s right but I haven’t had it apart to 100% confirm but the length is 350 from end to end including 50mm of shroud...

Hi Stuart ... thanks for the question mate ... the gun comes with the folding adapter but you need to buy the stock and buffer tube separately... I got mine from SYSS in Barnsley

Mick Garvey Air Attack MIA-cheers for that mate, mine has arrived without one but the sportsman gun centre Has said They will send one in the post.👍

Stuart Gray was it the DLC-Tac? Either way good to hear SGC sorted it for you

Hi steven ... yes mine did and it was fitted as standard at the time ... don't think anything has changed

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Thanks Mick, looks great

hi and thanks for the question ... it's debatable whether there would be any significant gains by installing a plenum on a sub 12 ... most say not but would definitely fit on fac power

Hi Stephen and apologies for the slow response … The barrel is 350mm long and 470mm long with the Donny fl Folded length is 530mm and 650mm with the mod With the current InfiRay saim thermal scope the folded length is 620mm and 750mm with the mod … thanks for watching and I hope this helps

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 Yeah that info is a great help, thanks for that. I'm assuming the barrel must go all the way to the end of the shroud?

Hi Terry and thanks for the great question mate ...it's one i'll honestly struggle to give an accurate answer to as i've never run it low enough to judge but i have had 4 mags from it easily on a single fill so i'd say 80+ shots depending on tune at sub12 ... it is without doubt one of my favourite airguns and a pleasure to be out with ... hope you decide to get one and i'd interested to hear your comments.

Not sure if this is what you mean but the bottle thread are 18x1.5 … hope this helps

Sorry you missed it but at least it was only one ... I had more 😳 thanks for the comment and for watching

hi and thanks for the comment ... all thew way from Slovenia too ... awesome .... you'll not regret getting yourself a dreamline ... which model are you thinking of?

hi David ... he's been in confinement with NS6 standing guard ... maybe he's up for a spot of yard time if his good behaviour continues

Hi Gavin … with all the right power increase accessories then yes but it would need to be added to your fac

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 thanks mick its just that av seen a lot of vids where people are getting at least 900 fps and if I buy a fx I'd love mine to do the same, Cool vids mick good info

@@gavinsenior50 you would be better getting a fac model to start with rather than upping the sub12 power … IMO

Hi and thanks for the question ... it is indeed a .22 superior ... one of the 1st here with the new 20mm shroud

Hi … it’s .22

@@mickgarveyairattackmia4722 interesting so you did get the new slimmer barrel yeah I was nervous about ordering because in the photos you see the old barrel with the huge taper that prevents you from putting a power plenum and bottle on it Utah air guns also said I would receive the new slim down barrel and a power plenum but I don’t see a power plenum on yours so I don’t think you get that…

@@recklessjunkie the vid was a while back but we do get the power plenum here although this tac is sub 12 ftlb

can't please everyone but thanks for the comment

Thanks again for the comment and you are right about the cheapo bipods ... can be ok but generally not so
