FX PANTHERA: Unlock FULL potential with Pin Probe + V2 HUMA-AIR transfer port 

Thanks man 🙂 They really make some good parts, so I would not mind it at all 😎 Kinda excited to see if this video will empty their shelves with pin probes 😜 Have a great weekend 🙂

I expect a positive review on your channel will increase interest and sales. However I’m not sure how many have these new rifles. I think a lot of FX owners have for example, the Mk2 and then got the Mk3 - but had to keep the Mk2 as well because there is no 2nd hand value in it. So if they were to get one of these latest models - then they would end up with 3 rifles 😊 But anyone with this latest model will for sure be tempted to fit the probe at least, based on your findings! Have a great weekend in the snow

@@nonickname6154 But then again - 3 rifles is not that bad 😜😃 And a great weekend to you 😎

@auntysocialist The dynamic block is the same in all 3 guns - Dynamic, Panthera and King, so the pin probe will fit yours. Im not aware of other performance enhancing parts so far. For the 2 screws at the end of the plenum I have not heard about not tightening down, but I saw somewhere that new guns comes without these screws (?) I would not leave them untightened, but I dont make them extremely tight anyway 🙂

@@VikingAirgunnerMaybe the 8mm hammerweight (not the tungsten) I got some great results combined with the Huma Port and pinprobe. 30cal 60gr slug easily to 1000 fps. Reg on 150bar and macrowheel on 16. Micro on 3.5.

Amen to that 😃 Let me know what difference it makes in your 30 cal 🙏🙏

Thanks for your comment Andy🙂 I really appreciate it. And thank you for sharing your experiences 🤗

I dont want to sound defensive of FX, but I still havent had a gun of theirs that absolutely needed upgrades. All can be shot perfectly fine the way they are. Upgrades are nice yes, but not 100% nessecary. Buying a car is the same thing - no matter the brand. I dont mind this, since I can build the gun to my liking. And in this video it is not FX making money from the upgrade - its Huma 😉

@@VikingAirgunner I have to agree with your comment 100%. They create options for those who want more but you do not really need them.

Thanks Robert 🙂 Wish that I was a bit more skilled in producing tools - but as long that it works 😎😜 Have a great weekend 🙂

Thanks buddy 🤗 So funny - I was actually considering the 700 mm barrel kit for mine last week 😃 A buddy of mine, Jamie from the UK did the Huma upgrade on his 25 cal with good results. Started with a slightly heavier hammer before installing the Huma reg, and aparently it had a positive effect on consistancy. I love my Panthera after installing the Huma reg, but the 700 mm and 20 gr slugs would be a good match for the gun/plenum. It would be interesting to test that setup for the max power 😃😎 My 700 mm M3 could push 20 gr at 1060 fps. I would not be surprised to see the Panthera go past 1100 😎

You have to take the whole trigger system apart for that and it is not faster. I tried it so I know all about it.

Im sure that you will gain some velocity with the kit 👍👍 I will install a reg from Huma pretty soon and if that turns out to be the succes that Im counting on, I might do a tuning video. I have not had the Panthera for that long, so Im not really an expert on it yet, but when I feel 100% comfortable I will do it 🤓

My guess is that there is some Loctite left in the hole where the probe is attached - or the rotation is off. So either a cleaning of the hole ora 90 degree turn will solve the problem :-)

Thanks Pat 🙂

With the 600 mm liner that I have currently installed I would not consider shooting anything heavier than a 16 gr slug. For a slug heavier than that it would require a longer barrel. It is possible to shoot a heavier slug in the 600 mm liner, yes but it is not made for it. In the 700 mm liner it would be great. I have seen it - even tuned a Panthera myself with a 20 gr slug - and it worked very well. The Panthera has a huge advantage in terms of supreme power bcs of the 156 cc plenum. You dont need a heavier hammer for the 20 gr. You can get a slightly heavier hammer which is supposed to make it more stabile, but the tungsten hammer is not nessecary for 177 - like not at all! I actually think that it is too heavy, so you can adjust the hammer down enough 🤔

Thats a great project! I hope that you will get the same effect that I did 🤞🤞

I put the pin probe on my FX King .25 and the velocity increased to about 35-40 fps. I used ZAN 37 grains. I am satisfied with the result. I had problems with the installation. I had to thin the mountingpin about 0.1 mm. Is there any difference between King's and Pantera's parts? This pinprobe was intended for Pantera. At least I thought they were technically exactly the same

@@kallemattila3687 So about the same increase that I had. That is good info - thanks for sharing 🙂 To my knowledge the block is the exact same in all 3 guns, but from what you experienced there might be minor differences. But I dont think so. Did you share this experience with Huma? I assume you bought it from them?

@@VikingAirgunner I contact Huma and this is their answer: Dear, yes this should normally fit. But we have found that in some instances the carrier in the gun is slightly undersized. Of the several hundred we have sold we have gotten feedback of 3 or 4 that exhibited the problem.

​@@kallemattila3687, I have had the same experience,had to grind of some material to made it fit And contacted Huma, they said exactly the same thing

I never thought of that but they actually do 😃 I just wipe them with a micro fiber cloth if it has been raining, so no cleaning agent of any kind 🙂

Tak Michael 🙂

From the end of the jam nut to the end of the shroud itself it is 3 cm 👍

Its the same🙂

@@VikingAirgunner thks

Thanks Richard Its a normal 480 cc bottle that you can get anywhere. But to keep your rail you need the drop down bottle adapter from Saber Tactical 👍 There is a detailed describtion in the my first video about the Panthera.

@@VikingAirgunner Thank you very much for your answer! I have the double tactical saber!!!

Yes 🙂

Its one way to go 😃 But yes defenately the pin probe. I havent tested to throughly that I can tell the difference in accuracy between the two transfer ports.

@VikingAirgunner Yeah, I got both and I'm thinking of putting the factory TP back in. In your short testing, you gained the most fps with the factory TP and HUMA pin probe correct and lowest spread?

@@wsmc8275 yes that is correct 🙂

Thank you so much and thank you for your question. If you loosen on of the bottles the air from the other will leak out, so you have to loosen both bottles at the same time to avoid air from eacaping. Its very easy and no problem at all 🙂

@@VikingAirgunner .that's bad news. Ok thanks you.

It is usually the valve leaking when air come into the barrel.

Thanks

Why is that important for this test?

@@VikingAirgunner It's always nice to know what velocities people are getting with what settings. I understand that for this test it may STRICTLY not matter, but when i hear 1000 fps at 140 bars, i'm automatically interested in the weight of the pellet. Maybe that's just me though

@@tmright18 It is not like it is a secret 😃 I was using the 16 gr Zan

@@VikingAirgunner Thank you. Also, i am reading bck my original post and i could have phrased my question a bit more polite i see now. Allright happy shooting

@@tmright18 No problem at all 🙂 I seem to forget mentioning details from time to time, so thank you for reminding me to keep focused 😉

Or like Peter Schmeichel, or Ronald Kohmann, or danish Mads Steffensen 😂 Aparently I look like a bunch of people, but Fantomas was new 😃

Always 177 on my channel ☝️

What do you mean? 🙂
