I have an original-version FX Crown that has developed a very slow leak. Can anyone recommend someone, preferably in WI or the Midwest though I can ship it anywhere, who does good work on FX guns these days?
Thanks, I'll probably do that.
I haven't developed the skill to get inside PCPs yet.FX US wrote me back right away, will send to them...
They’re easy to repair but there are small details that you need the answer for right away when assembling or disassembling late at night that only a tech would know then your stuck with a gun disassembled at 11pm. That’s why I usually just send my guns in. I’ll do simple things but total disassembly =no thank you
Well I am pretty much livid with FX USA right now. A bit over a month after I got the gun back and I've noticed it has the same slow leak. It went from 200 BAR down to reg pressure in a few weeks.How is this possible? I would imagine that service of this type involves disassembly of the air system and replacing all seals, gaskets, etc. I was clear with them that the issue was a slow leak. They gave me a service number, had me send it, charged me (I think) about $120.They never answered specific questions I had, like exactly what they were going to do. I just thought it was bad communication.I've got about 20 airguns and firearms and this rifle is my single most expensive gun. It was more than my primary centerfire rifle, and more than my Aero Precision AR. This is BS.
Think I might just demand a refund and go with https://www.trenierairguns.com/supportnext time.Now I likely won't have it for squirrel season.
Just mashin' yer taters.
Don't beat yourself up. Like most platforms FX is not for everyone. FX platforms are more geared towards the seasoned air gunners that like to work on them and modify them with optional power accessories and such. They don't typically come highly refined and ready to shoot at their max potential right out of the box like some other platforms may. Maybe try a different platform from another maker. There are plenty of great guns out there.
