FX PANTHERA BARREL LENGHT CONVERTION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2024
- In this video i am showing how you can safely convert the FX Panthera as we know it to a FX Panthera hunter compact.
This procedure can be used as wel if you want to convert your FX Panthera to a different barrel length as wel .
This is a great step-by-step process for barrel conversion.
Thanks! Finally the myth is debunked - we can with a lot of caution change calibers and barrell lengths whitout leaving the gun at a certified fx dealer. This is a sales pitch for fx and good news for the end user. As always a very informative and well done hands on video. Cheers from fx country 😊👍👌🔫🇸🇪
Never heard anyone say a dealer must do it
Thx mate 👊 indeed in the beginning it was mentioned only a licensed dealer could do the conversion but if you know what you do it’s not a big deal
@@Davidtheinfidel early official fx supoirted videos stated this clearly, comp gun- barrel change only done by cerified fx dealer. the specific video im regering to with Jon fx usa and Hein Frohmann , i can not find anymore on the fx airgun youtube channel.this was the first official fx policy for the panthera when it was released in december 22, they have now obviously given the instructions to partners that this CAN be done but with caution so now they even have a fx masterclass video released how to do it.watched every video on the panthera so fars o i know this. still eaiting for my 30 cal panthera- im in sweden which is not their priority 1 market.
I did not hear anything about changing the caliber. Only changing the barrel length. Did I misunderstand the video? Can the caliber actually be changed? It seems that a caliber change would also require a different probe size. Love to hear what others say.
@@johnsullivan9320 yes you are correct! Caliber change is possible by replacing the probe . I just keep mine in 22cal so there was no need to do it
Your instruction was absolutely perfect. Very easy to understand and follow first class. Thank you very much.
Great video, Mathias! I just had to rip mine all apart to replace the V1 valve with the V2 style valve. Since I was only removing my barrel/plenum to access the valve, I simple loosened the screws on each side of the block that hold the barrel and I unscrewed the plenum and barrel as one piece. Thanks for showing what was under the front shroud, I didn't open that up but it's good to know everything about this rifle.
Hi buddy , thx for the nice comment 👊 as by coincidence I just received a new valve as I bend mine 🫣 and the new regulator piston aswel .
Will make a video about that soon 😉
and here's another comment from the other me 👍
Awesome tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Thx mate, this way I also can see who watches the videos till the end 😉👍
Clear concise video yet again. Thanks for your professional approach to these rifles.
Thx for the support 👊
Thank you for the video... I think you have spens alot of money and time for us... Appreciate it...
And the funny thing is that you're video make me buy the m3.. It is a great gun.. Thank you
You’re welcome 👊 indeed it can be very costly indeed sometimes and RUclips doesn’t like the subject so not much help there . Luckily I have some support left and right to make these videos possible 👌
Thanks for the "doit yourself" video. Best wishes from Switzerland 🇨🇭 René
Thx for the support 👍
Quality demonstration of the conversion process👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎
Thx 👊
when it comes to saying & doing it you are man, thank you,
Thx mate , I appreciate it 👊!
Thx mate , I appreciate it 👊!
Here's a comment. Awesome tutorial 👍
Thx 🙏
Nice conversion! You could walk all day with that
Yes it’s pretty compact and carry’s easy
You did an excellent job with this conversion.
Thanks 🙏
Very thorough & to the point. Great videos
That looks awesome, I love the looks of the shorter version.
Yeah , I have a soft spot for compact aswel 👊
Thanks for sharing, clear presentation
Thx
I do enjoy watching all your vids - well done sir!
Thx for the support 👊
❤ Always enjoy your video instructions.
Thx 👊
Beautiful setup. I always prefer compact setups. I'm considering purchasing this rifle, the one that shoots pellets because I'm not into slugs. I own the Dream Line compact with the folding stock and it is by far my most used air rifle.. Thank you as always for the video.
I also have a soft spot for compact rifles 👌
Great video as always
Great instructions as always. Nice job.
Thx 👊
Excellent tutorial video as always 👍🏻
Thx 👊
Excellent tutorial video. Greeting from California
Likewise 👊
Nice video. Simple and clear
Thanks 🙏
Interesting to see the differences from my Wildcat. Wondering/hoping for a bullpup version, but the the decision on caliber :)
Great video! Thanks for a educational lesson.
Thx 👊
Awesome video I learned a lot about the panthera hunter compact.
Thx 👊
Barrel Length - great video
300mm 😉
thanks you for your time and efforts.
Your welcome
Keep up the good work my friend!!
Thx 👊
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thx
You forgot one screw on that barricade at the end of the assembly, the one that is horizontal. It's very important since it is what makes the barricade acts as a reinforcement by securing the guard rail to the body of the panthera.
Great video! Thank you!
Thx 👊
Good job. Very informative.
Thx 👊
Interesting🤓
Thanks for sharing mate 🙂
Thx buddy 👊
Algoritmebooster voor jou vriend:) ik ben geabonneerd maar kom nu pas je video tegen, ik dacht net hetzelfde, RUclips steekt je stokken in de wielen😛 keep it up👊🏻
Bedankt voor de support makker 👊
Can you please do one on just caliber change? You may excellent, perfect videos.
excellent video, thanks !
Thx 👊
They are messing with for sure due to the content. You are not the only one
Yeah it sucks , the last 2 months I really notice it that I get shadow proofed 😡
great video
Thx 👊
Nice tutorial my friend.
Thx buddy 👊
good job..
Nice video. If you put something on your table that is a bit thicker it might reduce
the 'drumming' sound. Even a piece of cardboard might help a bit.
I do not own an air-gun but am considering buying one. Since there are no shops
nearby I depend on sites like yours a great deal and appreciate all your information.
In that vein, could you explain the difference between the 'Impact' and the 'Panthera' and
why you would consider one over the other?
Anybody is welcome to help me understand the differences between the units. Thanks
in advance.😎
Hi , thx for the tip 👌 I might put a piece of carpet underneath 😉
In order to answer your question what is the difference between a Impact and a Panthera , I would like to ask you if you have any experience with airguns and if this will be you very first one ?
Thank you!
👊
Airbuks.... Your information is very good, here is the drama behind FX and the Pantera dynamic King block. The different barrels are non-existent or the barrel kids are non-existent. Are you receiving these barrel because you have a channel for it or are barrel kids really available for purchase?
Very well done! The only omission I see is that the short barrel cuts the Velocity/Power to less than half of the 700. I shoot the H&N 40gr slugs at 980fps, and this would reduce the power level to a BB gun.
I can easily shoot 18gr pellets at 890 fps with 125bar on the regulator, so it has more then power enough. It’s also never meant to be a slug shooter with this 300mm barrel . Mostly for pesting with pellets
I have the Leshiy 2 with 350mm barrel in .30 and it shoots the ZAN 49 grainers at 900 fps with ease. Yes a shorter barrel decreases the speed, but with the shorter plenum you can up the reg pressure so you get max acceleration via a short dump of the plenum.
@@jbhk7977 I have a Leshiy aswel in 30cal running the reg at 155bar to shoot 50gr at 850fps .
What jets and reg pressure do you use ?
@@Airbuks Hi my friend, we had contact via e-mail a few months ago (John). I have one L2 with 350 mm barrel and two 0.2 jets. Raptor reg set at 170 bar. My other L2 .30 has the FX 600mm barrel, two 0.1 jets, raptor set to 195 bar (pushing it hard hahaha) It shoots ZAN 49 grain at 1020 fps.
I'm debating with Matias and francisco about ditching the plenum and external reg and fit the Edgun HP POWER PLENUM for the leshiy 2 with the internal regulator. I think it can shoot faster with less regulator pressure.
I have the feeling that this larger plenum will fit the 600mm barrel more because it can dump air longer before the slug leaves the barrel yet with 170 bar pressure (I hope) The point is that when it fails, I lost about 400 Euros . . . I hope we can figure something out.
Whats the max the FX regulator can be set at? Thought i saw 170 somewhere.
I definitely do this one.
👊
So nice!
Thx
Wow. You make it look easy.
Can you tell me what ammo you would use it the short version.
Also what reg pressure would you set it to in order to have efficient use of air in a shot configuration
Thanks 🍀💪🇮🇪
It’s almost as easy as I show 😉
I am shooting 18gr pellets with the reg on 125bar macro 13 and micro on 2,5
@@Airbuks thanks very much for the reply.
Keep up the good work 💪🍀🇮🇪
thanks
Thank you very much for your videos, they are the best I have seen for your detailed explanations. I have some questions that I'm sure you can answer with your knowledge:
-Regarding your video, is there a difference in shooting power between an original Panthera Hunter and the Panthera conversion you show in the video from 700mm to 300mm? Because I have the doubt of buying a Panthera Dynamic 600mm and move the bottle forward with the adapter and a folding stock; or buy a Panthera Hunter and buy a 600mm barrel.
-Does the 300mm Panthera Hunter come with the same probe and slug hammer as the 600mm Panthera Dynamic, or do I have to change the probe and hammer of the Hunter to get the same power?
Thank you very much
Greetings from Spain
Hi , thx for the support! In theory there is no difference in internals buying a hunter or a 600-700 mm but the 300mm barrel have a normal liner inside that shoots best pellets or very light slugs . The longer 600-700 barrels come with a heavy liner to shoot slugs . The probe is exactly the same no difference between the 300 and the rest .
It’s up to you to decide what you are going to use it for . You can swap the barrels as you have seen in the video but I wouldn’t advise it to do it every other weekend 😉
@@Airbuks Thank you very much for your response and the attention you give to those of us who follow you. It is a pleasure.
What I am looking for is an FX PCP to shoot heavy slugs at long distance but using a manageable gun that weighs little. Hence the above question and doubt:
1) Buy a FX Panthera Dynamic 600mm and change the stock for a folding one (folding AR Stock), buy an adapter to put the bottle in front as you show in a video.
2) Buy a FX Hunter and change the barrel for a 600mm.
What would you do to assemble that gun small and handy but with power for big slugs at 100m-150m?
And the last question: to hunt rabbits, doves.... (although in my country I could not because it is not allowed) would you use 5.5 (0.22) or 6.35 (0.25) caliber with the above assembled gun?
Thank you very much again. I will use your answer for the master purchase.
@@JC-OPT Hi , so a compact slug shooter for long range.
The first thing is that the longer the barrel the easier it is to get slugs shooting wel at long ranges . This for 2 reasons.
1. The longer the barrel the lower you can keep the regulator pressure and the more relaxed your gun will shoot . Helping in accuracy.
2. The lower the regulator pressure the more shots you can get .
Now 25cal is a good hunting caliber 👍if you want to shoot .25 heavy slugs (40gr @960) you can’t go with a 300 as it’s a pellet liner and in my opinion will only be oke up to 75m anyway. Specially with hunting when you need ethical kills .
You might get away with a 500mm as in range but this one also comes standard with a pellets / light slug liner .
So out of the box only the 600-700 have a heavy slug liner, but even with a 600mm you have a pretty long setup 🤔
So for me you have 3 options :
1. Buy a 500mm version with a extra heavy liner to shoot slugs heavier the 34gr ( in my opinion good to 100m )
2. Just buy the 600mm which is ready to shoot heavy slugs right out of the box .
3. Consider buying a bull pup style like the impact that even with the longer barrel is shorter Dan the Dynamic with the same barrel due to its bull pup design .
PS : my favorite combo will be a Panthera 500mm with heavy liner and mount a extra 300cc bottle at the front . No Ar15 folding stock but the fixed end from a Panthera with the bottle . This way you have 600cc of air to shoot slugs in a medium size package.
It’s a very difficult choice I know 🥴
Great video :)
Thx
nice work!
Thx 👊
Which bipod is that and does it attach directly to the arca rail. Where in the EU can I get it. Thank you for a great video
That’s a MDT bipod I picked up at Utah airguns when I was at RMAC
nice video mate 🫶🏻
where we can find shroud and plenum if we want to convert our panthera to bigger or smaller length?
Nice video thank you. I really like that. We can do it at home that easily. Am I missing something or you just didn’t put any liner inside?
Thx 👊 , The barrel comes with a liner 😉
Good bro
Thx
Good video keep them coming
Thx 👊
So do I understand that you can change barrel lengths of the same caliber on the panthera only? Or are you able to change barrels as well as calibers also? Just asking as in looking at ordering one it says that only an authorized dealer should do that. Great video. I am a subscriber and have gotten a lot out of your videos.
Hi , you can change barrel length and caliber 👌
@Airbuks thank you for the clarification. When I look at the description it says that u need to have a dealer change calibers, so thank you.
@kirbysands3197 That is initially correct as the way to do it is a little more complicated then on a impact for instance as the plenum is around the barrel . So only do it when you feel comfortable doing this procedure
@@Airbuks thanks. Great advice.
Nice one👍🏻👍🏻
Thx
Good
Thx 👊
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thx
What’s the shortest barrel for Fx dynamic or pantera. I’ve been checking out the Leishy 2 250mm. Wanting something short for my son. I have the impact sniper.thanks for great content
The shortest will be a 177/22 cal with a 300mm barrel
Hi man.
How are you .
Can I use bottle adapter of fx impact MKII to convert my fx panthera to hunter ?
Fx panthera accept the bottle of fx impact m3 or bottle of fx impact mkll???
No , the adapter is specific for the front of the Panthera, threads are different
Where can I get the barrel conversion kit? How much is it?
Is it safe/recomended to change the barrel kit multiple times (back and forth between lenghts)?
Id like the 700 mm barrel for competition and sometimes the 300 mm for backpacking hunting
You should be able to ask your local FX dealer to order it , don’t have a part number.
Changing the barrel frequently isn’t a issue as long as you do it carefully. With the impact the barrel doesn’t have any sealing parts unlike the Panthera .
So if you take care when replacing the barrel and keep the orings in good condition you will be fine 👍
I saw that you had an electronic pressure gauge for your regulator pressure. I had wanted to install one on my Panthera but could not get it off. Are they gluing them in now. If so how did you get yours to come off. As always you make the best videos.
Yes they are glued in place I am afraid not with much glue but enough to make them come off not so easy 😬 I slide the black cover off and use a socket wrench
Love ya know how. Top stuff.
Thx
I'd like to buy a Panthera Hunter 25 with larger plenum and convert to 22 cal. Unfortunately, UAG said caliber change kits are not available.
Yes they are , check one of my latest videos on the FX RUclips channel
My compact rail came with two tiny black bearings or balls. Any idea what they are for ?
Also i see FX has a smaller 170 cc cylinder, would that fit under the front rail?
There are no balls needed for the compact rail as far as I know 🤔
Regarding the 170cc bottle take a look at this video I made around minute 16:50 . Just remember the 170cc bottle is only allowed to be filled to 230bar
ruclips.net/video/dJPrTt4SfDY/видео.htmlsi=BYMMkgqQSddQZrfI
Love your vids mate their fantastic to watch thanks. Have a question I intend to put the small 300cc bottle on the back of my panthera and a 480cc on the front but not sure what pressure to fill the gun at??? hope you can help. Brian
Hi Brain , it depends on the bottles you use but generally the max fill pressure is 250 bar unless you have bottles rated for 300bar
I have a 300bar fill pressure bottle on the front and a small bottle on the back that comes with the Panthera rifle.
Thank you.@@Airbuks
@@brianfurth2839 So then your max fill pressure is 250 bar because of the small original bottle at the back
ok thanks, waste of time getting big bottle then?@@Airbuks
@@brianfurth2839 you need to have both bottles rated to 300bar in order to fill that high . They are linked and feed the regulator together with air , so if you would fill one to 300bar the other one fills to that aswel
Grate tutorial
Thx 👊
How is the trigger on this small Panthera?
Can you compare it with the Dreamline/Crown?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Lari.
The trigger is great just like any Fx trigger that doesn’t use the linkage like the Wildcat and Maverick although these are also still oke
Great video , my question is if you had the panthers 700 in .22 can you just get the compact hunter conversion in .177 and still use the same block/probe as I can only find 22/25 and 30cal probes as extras????
You can convert it from caliber if you have all the parts . Barrel / liner / probe etc . The 22 cal probe won’t work fro the 177 😉
Where did you get your barrel/insert? I contacted my local FX dealer to make an inquiry to convert my 25cal Panthera to a 22 cal and they stated there are no barrel conversion kits.
There are as of yet no conversion kits available but your local dealer should be able to order the parts needed for the conversion
Do you have the part numbers you could share, from when the parts were ordered
Damn this is tge one I want but with the bigger plenum you get with tge 600 and 700 models
The 700mm plenum is to big for the barrel length but a 600mm might work but there is actually no need for a bigger plenum as this one comes optimized for the barrel length
I am in Canada and I cannot find this kit anywhere. Can you suggest me a place to order it?
You should be able to order it true you FX dealer from factory
Will this work for the 600 dynamic?
22. So I would need barrel kit, plenum? And arca rail? Part numbers please?
Yes it will fit the Dynamic aswel , it’s the same rifle . You need matching parts as the plenum sized on different barrels lengths are different in combination with the shroud etc .
They aren’t regular available yet but you should be able to order it true your FX dealer
Can you please tell me how much these costs. Please with the two bottles and the short barrel two
This you have to check with your local FX dealer
Where can I buy complete barrel kits? I want to change up to 800mm and 7.62
There is no 800mm for the dynamic block max 700mm . You can order the barrel kits from your local FX dealer
❤
Informative Video ! Such a nice looking gun! A shame im not allowed to own one. Must be a pleasure to shoot!
Anyone know where the liner o ring is positioned on the hunter. Or does it even matter ? Mine only has one.
Also the spacer with the large o-ring on the end .. thats not needed ? Noticed after a few thousand shots the shroud gets coated inside with lead dust. Removing the shroud to clean with the spacer is a pain. Be nice to remove it all together.
The oring on the liner doesn’t really has a dedicated spot , but I would put it in the middle . Regarding the spaces on the barrel nut , it does serve a purpose to make sure the barrel stays centered so you don’t get any clippings. Now on the compact hunters short barrel it’s not really a must as there won’t be much flex . On the longer 700mm barrels I do see it useful especially if you run a heavy moderator.
Anyone know the answer to? are saying that the FX Pantera has a low shot count but I just looked at the FX website and the 22 caliber has a shot count of about 80 shots using 600 mm barrel 22 gr hybrid slug at 900 fps.
Yes this is lower than the FX impact but it's not horrible. I tend to shoot 22 caliber 32, 34, 36 grain slugs. Let's say I'm shooting 34 grain slugs 22 caliber what do you think the shot count would be for fill with the standard bottle? If it's too low and I added an additional 300cc bottle in the middle of the gun what would you estimate the shot count would be then?
Thank you
Torn between the 2 rifles panthera compact hunter or m3 impact compact?
That’s a difficult choice 😉 I think it’s more a personal opinion. The only advantage is that the impact has more aftermarket parts and one more tuning option ( which can also complicate stuff 😉 ) on the other side the Panthera can make more power
Your video absolutely help. And i have a question, can my fx panthera change the barrel from cal 177 to cal 0.25?
Thx , yes you can swap calibers aswel . But then you need to change the probe also 😉
@@Airbuks Thx 👍
Can I remove the barricade block while pressurized. I think it’s Cosmeticly ugly. I have the arca rail on the 600 dynamic, what’s the purpose of the barricade stop block? I want to delete it it’s ugly, can I?
Yes you can remove it while under pressure. The barricade stop is as the word says . The block is there as a stop /barrier to push into a barricade or something when shooting PRS stages
where did you get your parts for the conversion?
You can order them from your FX dealer 😉 I have made a video for the FX RUclips channel showing all the parts and corresponding part numbers 🤙
Nice one. Will it affect the ftlbs? Ie put it over 12 ft?
I don’t have any experience with sub12 and only shoot FAC
Where can I buy this barrel kit from? I’m in the uk and of course everything is harder to get hear.
How to get covers off gauges and change gauges for digital?
I'm assuming 300mm is probably ideal for 50 yards and okayisch till 100 yards, correct?
Yes correct, I see it more as a max 75 meter accurate and oké at 100
Can you shoot slugs with that barrel? Seems like the 500mm and smaller are only pellet shooters.
Yes the liner inside is a pellet liner but you should be able to shoot some lite slugs like 21gr in 22cal
I am in the process of trading my maverick .30 for this in .30 with the ar style folding stock and 480 cc bottle
will all this work the same on the .30 model
Yes it wil work exactly the same 👍
Was wondering where we could get the kits at.
You should be able to order it from your local FX dealer , they can order it from factory
Sweet
Can I change calibers on my Compact Hunter? Now it.22 and I also want .177
Do you have the part number for the eagle vision scope mounts
Love your spirit buddy! Good work!
I have a question about the sunshade extanded 4" of your Element scope. Where can i find it please?? Thanks in front!❤
The sunshades come included with the scopes and I don’t think they are available separately , if you want a extra one try mailing element optics to ask
@@Airbuks yea! That what i did. They are amazing! They shipped it to me 2 days ago🙏
@@stavsoo Nice 👍
My plenum is not draining when I turn it counter clockwise
who do I order the barrels from? I got the dynamic express 600 because all the hunter compacts were sold out
Thanks for the work, do you know if there is any difference in the blocks of the Pantera and the Dynamic, if so, which ones they are, thanks
No difference, exactly the same block 👍
