How Much Performance Does A Slug Power Kit Add? 

Thank you for the compliments and we are glad you enjoyed!!!

Awesome feedback and results! Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the compliment and yes, Logan and I have very different communication styles. 😂

I’m around 155 bar but will probably bump it up to 160 bar this week. Been out of town so I haven’t shot in a few days! Back to it tomorrow! 😁

Thank you for the tips and feedback! We appreciate your support also

Great information and thank you for the feedback and support!!!

The speed increase is minimal however the real selling point is the tensioning system that it has to reduce harmonic vibrations and also we got ours with the slug liners which are definitely worth the investment.

Already swapped it out for the NSA pin probe and like it. Having it to do all over again, that’s all I would have done but not going to take it apart to replace the hammer spring spacers at this point. They can just stay in place for now. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

Thank you so much for the compliment and feedback. We really appreciate your support and encouragement.

We are running 700mm barrels. There was some improvement once we took the little rubber ball out. Continue to run them like that without issue. Thank you for your comment.

@@bowmanoutdoors Something isn't rite if you have to take FX factory tested designed parts out of the rifle to make them work better. It can be defective regulator valve stuff. I've seen messed up regulator parts that are being sold new. Utah Airguns pro shop may have answers for it. Mine shoot superb out of the box but I got them when quality control was a lot better before the COVID era happened. It's hard to find superb parts now . My next tinkering session is with the new FX Panthera model. I do own many air rifle models. The good ole FX Crown is still seems the way to go or the Wildcat mk3

You are correct sir. After making the video, I messed up and stored the rifles for a month or longer without pressure and messed up some seals. Not being able to acquire the correct replacements after hours and hours of research and multiple trials of substitutes, we worked with FX USA and got everything fixed correctly. They were great to work with (so is Utah Air) and things are still running smooth. I’d like to see better regulators across the board in general though.

@@bowmanoutdoors yeah. Good to hear you're getting fixed up. The regulator thing does need to be addressed. I can't figure why in the world such a awesome famous company can let this stuff go on. They've did some changes coming out with the newer Panthera models,I'm wondering if they've done something to counter with it. I hear it has state of the art components! I'm going to test the waters soon. Hopefully it's as good as they claim. I've already heard tho that the .25 cal models are having issues with the barrels? Hmmm 🤔

That’s unfortunate. I ordered and paid for a panthera , but changed my mind after a few months of waiting. Maybe a good thing hearing about the barrels also. I’ll pick one up one of these days! (Maybe the RU-vid thing will eventually bring resources in, rather than always out). It gets costly doing everything times 2, but worth every cent to have the time with my son

In for higher pressures? That maybe the one thing we haven’t tried…. Fingers crossed and we will give it a go

Thanks for watching. I still have some work to do. I want to be under 1/2” 5 shot groups at 75 yards.

@@bowmanoutdoors Geter done ✔️

Yes, 180 degrees. Probably won’t update the video though. We swapped to a huma-air slug port

@@bowmanoutdoors. I have a Huma slug port on my FX Wildcat. I'm thinking about swapping it over and putting it on my 700mm M3 barrel. The Wildcat (Warcat) is not intended to be super high powered anyway.

The little rubber ball hindered our velocities drastically. (100-150 fps). I did not see much difference between the OEM spring and the slug kit spring so we went with the new one. The one thing we didn’t try was the OEM spring with the rubber ball. That might be interesting. 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

Thats a tough question. It isn’t overly expensive, but install isn’t just plug and play. I would say yes, if part of a larger modification including slug liner, slugs over 42gns, hammer weight, and maybe reg 2 upgrade. It alone won’t get you much performance. Ultimately, it’s up to you and if it aligns with the longer term goal. Btw, love the profile pic. I am new to reefing and have a pair of mocha storm clowns. Love them!

There is a .22/.25 kit (we used it here) and a .30 cal version as well. Thanks for the question and support!

Removing the rubber ball was the biggest difference. We also had to end up retuning after install, and we still do not run the rubber ball in either gun.

Sounds like you loved the video. 😂. We will try your suggestions, but I currently do not have issues with getting slugs fast enough. I just want to stay clear of the transonic zone to assist with ballistics and flight stability. I could try going much faster though and see if it helps. I currently have too many variables to get very consistent and precise results. Thanks for your feedback and comments

We have changed mics and audio equipment so future videos should be much better.

Rifles back home so we will be working on that video soon!

Currently we do not have anything in .177 to test. Maybe in the future?!?

If you do the install expecting significant gains in performance you maybe disappointed. If you add it to other modifications or enjoy tinkering with things then the value is there. It’s inexpensive but moderately complex installation. I would do it again but not solely for performance gains. Thanks for your comment!

I’ll go check it out and maybe get some on the way to test. Thanks for the tip!!!!
