A while back I realized that I wasn't using the power adjusting wheel at all on my FX. It was a small knob that was hard to turn. So I just left it on high for the most part. The power on level one was way to low for me. Level two, I would use in the backyard every now and then. So I got to thinking.... Why not make a new wheel that's easier to adjust with slightly different power levels? Level one is now what used to be level two, level two is now what used to be level three, and level three is now.....MORE GOODER! Machined from solid stainless of course....
Then I made a stainless cover to hide the hideous screw in the center. Stock size was @ .950ish, it is now 1.125. Much easier to get ahold of with my big cookie grabbers. The power adjuster was fitted with Viton (75) O-rings and lubed with krytox. It turns smooth as silk now.
Now its time to get it laser etched with the power levels. Haven't decided on what ill put on there yet. The levels on the stock wheel were a lame series of dots . .. ... I was thinking of low, target, and vaporize. Or maybe pictures of critters that some ammo companies put on their ammo boxes. i.e. a bird, rabbit, and deer (Browning buck mark?).
May just burn the FX logo into the center. Don't know yet. Any suggestions??

Well done !! .... tho have to say those pictures with the mirror reflection are tad distracting to what parts looks like for fit & finish.
