OK Guys finally put a CP 4-16x40 on the 60c pcp and got her set up and done some 50 yard shots and it was shooting weird so i removed the pickle and cleaned the barrel a little as i wondered if the pellets were clipping the pickle so this morning i set up and got started to shoot and shots 1 to 5 were high and to the left a little on 12 power and one mil dot down so i adjusted the scope a little and took 5 more shots so that took care of it now hitting in the center of the 1" target at 50 yards with JSB 15.89gr pellets and is plenty good enough for Rabbits and Nutters!

What  ammo are you using?

[Mark Ward]

That target i used JSB 15.89 gr and so far JSB pellets are the most accurate in my gun.

OK shot some 70 yard shots with JSB 18.1gr and it took me a while to figure out the scope power setting and mil-dot needed to be on target and the gun done ok took 5 shots i just have a hard time keeping from moving the gun off target.

I bought the XS60 about six months ago. Here is what I got. I opened the box an seen a pretty good looking gun. As I took it out of the box I smelled fresh paint. The air tube had been painted and had fingerprints in it from handling while the paint was wet. Hmm. I took it out to the backyard and was surprised how well it shot after a few sight adjustments. I shot at 15yrds. and it grouped well. Happy,happy. I was going to give it to my son for some tree rat hunting. Well in short order it leaked every ounce of air out of it. Eventually I could hear it leaking. A few turns on the fill port I couldn't hear it anymore however it leaks down quickly. The valve seems to not be working properly. When I first fill it the shots are not powerful and get stronger after shooting it about 10 times or more. You can hear the difference. Overall I'm not happy. I'm not a rich guy and a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks. I'm glad to see this info on here and will try to fix this gun myself. I love to tinker. Its nice to know that you fellas seem to like this gun and if I can fix it I'll like it also. I guess I am disappointed with the company that sold this gun in this condition. I understand he was probably rushed to get them shipped but not even letting the paint dry, let alone its painted kinda cheapens it.

All unregulated PCPs work that way.
If you have too high a fill pressure for your hammer setting you will see velocity go up from fill to peak then down again.
Also, louder does not mean more powerful. A short high pressure burst will be quieter but push the pellet faster than a longer lower pressure burst of air.

For $100 I am happy with the painted airtube. I am sure you can find someone to refinish it in another way.

If you still have a leak, contact Mike he will send you the seals you need.

Once again.. this gun was advertised and sold as a "tinkerer's gun". This is plainly posted on the site "as is". If you are not prepared, or willing, to tinker... "DO NOT BUY THIS GUN". Some of us were fortunate enough to get our hands on some that needed nothing right out of the box. Some of us got what we paid for instead. The airtube is not from the factory, they are after market and part of the conversion from C02 to HPA bulk. If you haven't talk to Mike about your gun yet, Please do so. I predict that, in the end, you will love this gun. I also predict that, if you talk to Mike and let him work with you, you will be a repeat customer. As of now there are no more of these guns to be had and a line of people wanting them. If you can't/don't get satisfaction, post it in the classifieds here on the GTA and you WILL get your money back by the end of the week if not by the end of the day.

All I can say is for $100, I don't know what you expected.... The next step up in PCPs is a Disco at nearly 3 times the price.... The FD-PCP is a great tinkerer's gun, and you actually get more than you paid for.... providing you can get it to stop leaking....

If it is a .22 I am sure you will make money on the deal if you decide to sell it. The supply of those disappeared long before the demand.

@Avator, Fortunate enough to not have to do anything? That sounds boring. I would not have learned half as much as I know now if mine had worked out of the box. I think those of us who had to do a little work are the fortunate ones.

I will say the aluminum barrel band and the painted air tube do not get along. One of these days I need to polish that band and get the tube powder coated. For $100 though, I feel like I robbed Mike.

Steven,
I agree on all accounts. We had a thread somewhere about how boring the FD-PCP was. Of course we were bragging, not complaining. Mike is great about hooking you up with extras if he has them. I bought extra .22 and .177 barrels (all 3 of ours are barrel swappers), extra muzzle breaks (the set screw threads strip and I also left the one on Black Mamba full size, I notched it for the fill cap), an extra stock (to mod for and external power adjuster), extra barrel bands (I stripped out the aluminum threads) and he sent several small items for various reasons. I even had a bad .177 barrel and unsuccessfully tried to recrown it myself, I sent it back to him along with a check for a new one. He was out of stock so he recrowned and choked mine, sent it back to me along with my check. We did some minor mods to ours, I didn't say we didn't. I said we didn't need to ... lol
Like I said, we own 3 and I bet if I was offered another one, I would buy it.
