What makes FX Airguns just thát good?
FX Airguns distinguishes itself within the world of air rifles with their drive for innovation. Not in the common sense of introducing a new model with a tactical stock or with an enlarged magazine capacity, but with being always on the search for more. More accuracy, more power, more usability. In short, whatever limit they reach, will be the new challenge they’ll want to tackle.
For this, a technical eye is cast to provide practical solutions that then can be translated into production-friendly concepts. Below we’ll discuss some of the challenges FX tackled:
- Dual Regulator – By using two regulators, the pressure can be lowered a bit before it reaches the second one. This reduces the stress on the regulator, while also adding a substantial degree in accuracy and consistency. Even the durability benefits.
- Power plenum – The plenum is the body of air between the regulator and the valve. This little reservoir is needed to have a certain amount of regulated pressurised air at the ready for the coming shot. As you can imagine, a small amount of air will only push a pellet or slug so far into the barrel before the pressure drops enough to slow down acceleration. A bigger plenum holds a bigger amount of air, which will provide more air at the same regulated pressure, making for a higher speed of the projectile. FX has experimented a lot with plenum sizes and when the power plenum was introduced, this gave a significant boost in power which enabled firing slugs at high velocities. You can still shoot at lower velocities too, with the added advantage of getting more shots out of a fully filled air reservoir.
- Changeable barrel system – The barrel can easily be replaced in order to change calibre or length. The liner features rifling that’s pressed in from the outside, making for a very smooth inner that offers the least possible amount of drag. With this barrel system, it’s also possible to change a pellet barrel for one that’s specifically developed for slugs.
- Externally adjustable regulator – By making the regulator externally adjustable, an FX Airgun doesn’t need to be bleeded before every adjustment. An added advantage is the fact you can roughly see the adjustment on the pressure gauge and after firing one round, you can see the exact pressure right away, before quickly making another small adjustment if needed. It really simplifies and speeds up the process.
- Externally adjustable hammer spring – By making the preload of the hammer spring externally adjustable, you can quickly lower or tighten up the preload, making the hammer hit the valve with less or more force. This effects the time the valve stays open. The longer it’s open, the more air gets to flow, making for a higher speed of the projectile and vice versa.
These, and lots of other technological solutions, together with the adjustability they add, are the products of a constant aim for perfection and the new insights that come to fruit in the process. It may sound very theoretical, and in a way it is, but most FX Airguns innovations are the products of practical questions from users like you. FX has a big thirst for feedback from their customers.
What all FX Airguns air rifles have in common, is that they’ll provide the owner adjustability on different levels and they are built in a modular way. This means future innovations can -up to a certain extent- be retrofitted to older models, upgrading them to the latest standards.
FX Airguns parts and accessories
FX Airguns not only produces air rifles, but also offers a wide range of parts and accessories. We offer tuning parts to retrofit to your rifle, for instance the Power Plenum of Harmonic Barrel Tuner. We also have barrel kits in store with which you can change calibre, length and twist rate. FX Airguns also has a very interesting selection of pellets and slugs. And last but not least, they’re well-known for their handpumps that offer maximum volume for a minimum of pumping effort.
This is FX Airguns
FX Airguns is the brainchild of one man, Fredrik Axelsson from Sweden. As an avid hunter with a preference for air rifles, he just couldn’t find what he wanted in existing air rifles. He set about changing things for himself, implementing a home engineered contraption that we now know as a gasram. But when the realisation hit that compressed air was the way to go, the adventure started that resulted in the start of FX Airguns in Mariestad in 1999, producing high-end air rifles as a serious manufacturer.
There are lots of manufacturers designing and producing air rifles, but FX Airguns tries to steer clear of copying systems of others or even looking at them, preferring to look at solutions themselves to reach new hights. It’s one of those stubborn characteristics that you will only find in a family owned company, but it results in refreshing (and effective!) ideas that keep on pushing the development of air rifles.
The philosophy of FX Airguns is to produce the best airguns they can and when their constant search for better and more leads them to new innovations, they immediately start working on it for a quick roll-out. No strategic waiting for the right moment with a marketing calendar in hand.
This has resulted in the FX Airgun rifles being at the top of their game in lots of disciplines. The fact every FX airgun has multiple adjustment options, makes them very versatile, whatever model you choose. This, together with its power and accuracy, makes an FX airgun one of the best and most practical air rifles in the world.
