FX Crown – DO NOT BUY
Because it’s an FX, don’t buy it.
Because it’s imported by aoa and ONLY aoa, don’t buy it.
Because someone had an issue with their FX that they themselves caused, don’t buy it.
Because aoa wouldn’t fix that issue under warranty, don’t buy it.
Because aoa charges for shipping, don’t buy it.
Because it has smooth twist rifling, definitely don’t buy it.
Because it’s something innovative and new, don’t buy it.
Because the Bobcat “looks like a Beluga whale”, don’t buy it.
Because a number of Impacts had issues, don’t buy it.
Because an Impact won at EBR, don’t buy it.
Because Iride said so, don’t buy it.
Because leadbetter said so, don’t buy it.
Because it looks like it does, don’t buy it.
Because it has a bottle and not a tube, don’t buy it.
Because it isn’t a bullpup, don’t buy it.
Because you can adjust so many things on it, don’t buy it.
Because it’s not a Mutant don’t buy it.
Because it’s not a Cricket, don’t buy it.
Because Ted’s probably going to have one, definitely don’t buy it.
C’mon everyone, what other reasons can you come up with, before it even comes out, to bash it? Let’s hear it! I know you guys can come up with some real zingers.
Factual or not, it doesn’t matter. Let the creativity fly!

OK, I’ll bite…what’s wrong with the FX magazine? Also, what’s wrong with smooth twist rifling? (Honestly, I don’t know and am looking for an education.)
AirGun Depot is also selling FX now, so you don’t have to deal with Airguns Of Airizona to buy one.
Larry, I saw Ted (Ted’s Holdover channel on Youtube), display some groups. They were impressive. He spoke of using JSB King Heave MK II pellets. He displays the groups at around 4:30.
Cheers guys!
R, Steve
those are not production guns. you see they have names on them for the FX marketing campaign

The fanboys are very excited. If you are one of them sure get one.
The new CROWN has been in the hands of the chosen few, opinion makers, for several days. Anyone seen a shot string or accuracy report yet??
Just asking
LarryW :suprisedn:
Opppssss I see airgun depot has walnut crowns listed in .177 for 1669.00. Still has the messed up mag though.
Thanks Brian,
I appreciate all that ……… made my day coming from someone as well respected in the Gun/Airgun world like yourself !

Greg thank you for saying it , we come here for experience, to learn about new guns and see photos. I only came to this thread to see what you posted because you contribute useful information.
The spring loaded type of mags gets old really fast, a kill joy and expensive too.
Like to shake load type it’s way faster when there’s a lot of pest to shoot.
I have a FX Revo 22 ST and because of the above it’s the least favored to shot in my collection of PCP.
It’s on par in the accracy devison but not the best or the most though.
Not to sure if or when it needs fixing it’ll be worth to do ?
Would be a lot more of intrest to know, want new things have you done with your FX today ?

It’s not offered in .177. It uses a outdated ass backward marauder type magazine. That my friend kills any purchase of FX products by me ever. A 2017 $2000 airgun sporting 2013 airgun tech isn’t innovative my little troll buddy!
Naysayers = little black clouds of negativity
Never listen to the naysayers. Their opinions are a reflection of the things they aren’t willing to do themselves.

FX magazine?
The price of one thing from 63 – 85 $ each.
Cricket, Edgun, Mutant from 30 – 50 $ each.
My FX Revo extra mag where $95 at the time I bought the gun the price has dropped to $63.
My Cricket 8 mags where $240 and if today I where to equal that in shot count for my FX Revo it would cost $588, yesterday it would have been $886 (the price for a very good scope).
Like I said above they take time to load each pellet into the mags.
The Cricket type mag are faster to load when you have many pest to dispense.
My speed loader takes about 30 seconds to load all 6 – 14 shot mags.
In the field with the Spring loaded FX type mags I need someone there to load them while I’m shooting. :suprisedn:
A great hunting feature on the non-spring type mags is that you can single side load them as well.
Strange also if mags are used in speed silhouette shooting at EBR that you need to single load the 2 types of mags …. who’s running the show …. go figure ?
The FX Crown doesn’t come standard with a the Smooth Twist ……..
The new and improved X-Type sleeve barrel …….. which is an improvement on the ST according to FX I’m thinking, I could be wrong ?
It’s ST all the way like a traditional rifled barrel from what I understand, but made from the outside inwards.
I don’t feel that it’s my job to find the right barrel for my new gun that I’m buying.
IDK why FX don’t work together with JSB to find the right barrel/twist rate combo for their pellets instead, which Edgun Ed did for us with his Matadors …. go figure again ….. $$$ ?
Ted was born to impress and now in his adult life he does a great job at it too. :8:
He gets nothing but the best out of his FX, even his Revo seems to be a lot more accurate than mines even if we spent the same time and money on it.
One can just hope to get one as good, but dreaming for that would be foolishly throwing one’s good money on a roulette wheel.
Just my :2cents: worth, good luck ………. and sweet dreams.
