Title: Picked up a stray airgun yesterday
Post by: GadgetX on July 09, 2020, 07:48:38 AM

I picked up a stray airgun yesterday.  I adopted a FX Crown Blue Laminate in .25 Cal.  Been many years since I had an adjustable airgun (all electronic airguns currently).  Clear back to the MROD days.

Right now I have it disassembled cleaning and such.  Photos will follow this weekend. This one has the sliding shroud 600mm barrel.

Wonder if some member could share their best guess at initial setting of regulator pressure, front power adjuster and rear power adjuster for the JSB MKIIs.  All my guns are shooting JSB MKIIs and would like to keep it that way if possible.  The trigger seems great for a mechanical one so I will leave it.  Been using electronic trigger for many years.

Thank you.  Stay Safe !!

All kinds of videos on YT about tuning the Crown should be able to get you started

yea I know.  A BUNCH.  Just seeing if someone has good results with MKIIs and what they tune at.

Well I installed a new set of BKL Rings and shot the Crown at 30 yards in a 10-12 mph wind left to right.  Very please with the airgun.  Shot from slightly shaky tripod.  The sliding shroud did make some difference in POI.  See #3 where I retracted the shroud.  Quite the machine can't wait to tweak it up some using MKIIs.
