Morning, how are you today?

@@sergentcolon1 hello , iam not bad thanks ... cloudy here . shooting my kral np03 today ... it`s a great shooter and only cost around £400 lol .. how are you this wk ?

greeetings , have a fine day

Zans are known to be garbage. Made from recycled car battery lead. Not sure where you hear they're great? Unless you're going off paid youtubers/influencers. Only thing I've seen Zans used for is being melted down to make some cast slugs for a big bore

Why is it always .22 cal. light weight slugs? How about .25 cal. with 40 grains or heavier?

Thank you, looking forward to seeing what you think about the Epic too. Andy

Greetings , hope our ok

"Evening all "😊

Welcome aboard!

Me too, got 4..peacemakers 5.5 inch barrels 3 are pellets 4th is bb only they're in black worn x2 one is nickel silver and the bb only is blued. Then l have the Remington 1875 or cowboy model as its sometimes called 7.5 inch barrell in nickel silver. Then l have 3 Schofield M3s, one in nickel silver, one in aged black and the third is bb only and iss in grey metal but looks for all the world like smoked glass beautiful to look at and pretty powerful and accurate for a bb. I also have an 1894 Henry Rifle bought it at xmas still havent shot it yet, waiting for better dry weather as it ejects the shells all over the place lol. I have some more guns l call classic makes ( not a fan of the modern ones Glocks, Desert Eagles etc dunno why but they just dont appeal to me. I have a Luger P08 Blowback. In black but l coloured the grips to that reddish brown look the old ones have and l aged it by rubbing off the finih on edges that would have rubbed over time. Also got the Broom Handled Mauser with Wooden holster/ butt.. I aged that too in the same way and darkened the grips.. I have as well a Webley VI in 22. Keep meaning to age it but someone wants to buy it off me as it is pristine condition he's offered me £300 but l don't really want to sell it, but he's a mate soooo I'm thinking about it. My last few guns are a Walther P38 blowback , 2 Walther PPKs great little blowback guns... A Winchester pistol.. Looks very much like a Colt Python 4 inch barrel In silver Second from last l hve a Gletcher Nagant revolver in black but you can get it in silver. And last but not least the classic 1911 semi auto blowbck Remingtons version. I like them all but the colts are my favorites l wish l could obtain the 7.5 inch barrel version but they are like hens teeth to locate aas was the Broom Handled Mauser l got very lucky. Yep the weztern guns are best even tho not completely historically correct as the grips are longer to house the co2 bulbs as you'll no doubt know. I'd say the barrels are smaller in diameter too but not by much l have a Kolser replica and it's barrels diameter is noticeably bigger, it was 5.5 inch barreled but l dremmeled off the length to 4.38 inches so its in line with the end of the ejector rod shroud. It has the normal colt sized grip and l wanted to practice fastdraw so made it the standard length the Americans use and yes l bought 3 holsters a left and right and a left cross drw as I'm left handed mostly. Im near 67 butlove guns all my life then discovered the co2 replicas about 2 years ago and decided to enjoy my then forth coming retirement. They're gret fun arent they

Less and less will get that and keep it

The barrels are proper barrels, not recalling the OD ( 16 - 18 mm i assume ) but VERY far from the FX straw barrels. The carbon are not just a look pretty wrap, that is actually the barrel tensioning system, a extra on many other brands. When shooting the Two it do dump air back into that shroud, and it do vent in the back of it, something that caught me out at first.

@@peashooter950 thanks for the info, the straw barrels do worry me as I’m looking for a stiffer/stronger setup for field work

@@transformeruk5300 well i am locked to .177 / 4.5 mm so i assume see less of the challenges associated with the thin FX barrel on my Maverick. But it cant be all bad CUZ FX still sell a ton of rifles, and they have also performed well at competitions. The Two are a damn heavy rifle at least in my full fledged long version, i would have to request the strength of my youth back to carry it into the woods or fields. The Two is also a tensioned barrel, so aside for its 16 mm size it is encased in the carbon fiber tensioning system which i assume also add to its tensile strength. But 16 mm i think are it for the regular barrels from Lothar Walter / CZ and so on, only now with the new Karma brand do you get more solid in their 26 mm bull barrels, but they in turn are even heavier rifles as they are made for bench shooting. You should probably also ask yourself. What am i willing / able to carry around. And at what distances do you expect to engage targets. If you are down around 50 yards / Meters, you should easy be able to make so with a compact of some sort ( the Two also some in a short version ) I figure a compact rifle got to be more easy to carry around VS a full length rifle, and so that way also add in a positive way to the risk of failure.

The point is its a stepping stone to getting rimfire & when you get a rimfire there will still be uses for the air rifle.

I was just about to post the same thought , looks well made but a lot of faff when you compare it to a simple.22rimfire which makes closer to 200 Fp

Cost of ammo is a factor slugs will cost you £12 for 500, the cost of rimfire is going to be £40 or more.

​@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo I had to read that 3x till i saw it said £12 then 500 I thought, £12,500 for slugs what the

But then you have to factor the price of the gun in the first place , it'll be 4 times the price of a rim fire . Then the cost to fill it also . You also won't be wanting to carry this out in the field all day . ​@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo

Guugle uk fac itll tell you

@@evzevz06 Now, instead of teasing me, what if you answered my question and you took the trouble to answer it?

@@mohammad-javad-mj would have been quicker for you to google it than reply to me

​@@mohammad-javad-mjWould've been quicker and easier to get more information about it if you did that. Basically, You need a license for it

@@mohammad-javad-mj FAC is the full power version not available in the UK unless you process a license . The UK regulates their airguns much like a real firearm to 12 fpe.

simple…if you can afford a Ferrari, you could probably afford enough land to be able to shoot on and get and FAC no problem! 😉👍

Might just be the very first shots through it or something, I had a different one which from new was wildly inaccurate, after about 1500 pellets it was spot on. Just needed a lot of lead down it before it performed

@@evzevz06 This happened with the old barrels. Now that no longer happens. My Vulcan, RTi prophet and most of the fx barrels I have for the wildcat have the same behavior from the first shot to this day with thousands of shots each of them. They don't get better or worse. They are all capable of making groups at 100 meters the size of that group if not better. I have a barrel FX (late 2020 version if I'm not mistaken 600mm) that makes groups like these at 200 meters if there's no wind. Makes groups (10 shots) the size of a 2 euro coin at 200 meters

@@starlightHT ah I see, any idea what they changed is it some sort of coating inside the barrel or something? And is that still a problem on stuff that can be bought now is there some marking or way of knowing, "out the box this should be spec and out the box that one will need lead down it"

​​@@evzevz06 It has to be asked then why the reviewers don't actually put some lead down range getting to know the gun before e filming? Often they put a few shots through to roughly zero, shoot a group and that's the review??

Own both, find that FAC has its place. Firstly for shooting up into trees, can’t do that with the Rimmy. Also ricochets, .22lr is awful for it so FaC is great around livestock and built up areas. Yes HMR doesn’t ricochet but it’s an awful lot louder than a 22lr or FAC. Completely agree about the cost though .

how are you this wk ?

​​@@simonnoble7589 Hi Simon! I've been all good, thank you for asking. How you been? What did you think of this FAC version Epic2? You'd pay that amount - or would you choose something else instead? Personally, still would rather go for a Huben K1 myself. The K1 still #1 on my "Want - list"..😁

@@brorjordas1979 Glad our doing ok ... iam not bad thanks .. i would not pay that big amount ! it looks like an FX dreamline , So thats whot i`d do and save 1,400 pounds 😁😁🙃 Whot would you buy ? have a nice day

😆
