Glad you happy with your New to you FX CROWN .... another model in FX's history to find customers in an ever expanding world market for higher end PCP's.
The Crown is on my short list. It has many features that i really like. Justifying the price (with myself AND the wife) is the only hiccup. Thank you for the review on it. I like to see shot strings and targets (wish distance mentioned)
Hey GTA Peoples,custom carbon fiber wrapped barrel shroudAccuracy (one hole groups @ 70 yards),
Dilly Dilly! Nice gun!Does that carbon fiber custom wrap lighten the gun or add more support? Really 1 hole at 70 yards? Incredible, don't think I've ever seen anyone do that in a 10 shot group. Nice shooting.
One more question,Does that have the telescopic shroud? Thought I saw a video where if you pull the shroud out it gets more sound suppression. If yes, how does it compare to the huggett you have on the other FX?- All the way in vs huggett- pulled out vs huggettThanks, Dilly Dilly!
Joe, dilly dilly....and, congrats on your new awesome .25 FX Crown! She is beautiful just like your Streamline, enjoy!

Except for the Crown being a .25 caliber and a bit more powerful sounding ( moves more air). The Streamline .22 w/ Huggett and Crown with shroud extended have the exact same sound output. Both backyard friendly moderated. Now either gun with shroud retracted (Crown) and Streamline w/ Huggett off are loud! Very noticeable! Too loud for the backyard, a pretty bold “POP!” I never really shoot un-moderated.
Is there any need to have to extend the crowns tube? How much louder is it if you just shoot it with the tube all the way in? Is it still backyard quite?

Any changes to POI with the shroud in/out?
Good question, anything that moves has the potential to change the POI. I know most LDCs when put on a gun change the POI a little bit.
Congrats Joe, that's a beautiful gun! Thanks for the review! Any plans on experimenting with different barrel liners (twist rates)?
