this one of the best channels in tune and making parts fot the airgunner👍👍👍
Thank you, for this informative video 👍🏻👍🏻
No problem thanks for watching.
great video. i just think that as much as we pay for these rifles they student need to be worked on. i know you said that some are good when taken out of the box. it is what it is!
Excellent Jake , you are very accurate and confident doing these things .I will do the same with my new 700 mm poly barrel.
Good to hear, good luck with your poly barrel, I want to try one in my leshiy 2. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunnersthanks, It is unchoked with a suitable twist rate ,making it shoot slugs very well !
@@sub12airgunners hello Jake ,shall there be no lead drag marks on slugs too?
@@weirhauch1002 that’s a good point, I shoot slugs not pellets from the impact 🤔
You're going from strength to strength fella 👍
Thanks people really seem to enjoy the vids, Thanks for watching.
And another interesting polishing video. Thanks!
I've been now polishing my Sig Virtus' inner barrel some - but the damn first 7-8cm or so still feels as if there was sand grit inside. Damn annoying. Surely the Virtus aint no target rifle - but still annoys that the first part seems so gritty and tight compared to the rest of the barrel. Has shot 4cm groups at 30m or so (which is okay by me for just being a plinker) - but I think the first part of the barrel might do damage on the pellet due to the unevenly gritty first part.. But I guess I now oughta get some 5.5mm compatible shoelace and try out that double knot system. I do have of that fine/coarse compound myself - but I think my patience will win and I'll just be using that Autosol polishing paste..
Very informative video
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice work 👌👏😃
Thanks for watching. 👌
Awesome video
Thanks I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Man, i suggest you open an academy for gun cleaning and repair, you are amazing and your videos are quite informative, all full of perfect technique, thanks for your time and great support to airgun community
thank you very much, i am happy you like them 👍
Great content 👌
Glad you think so
Shows the nitty gritty bits of even FX guns (barrels arent perfect from factory), underrated channel.
Now I'm tempted to push a pellet through my Kral just to see if it drags, if it does then I'll try a bit of polishing ^^
Subbed.
Thanks much appreciated, a little polish in all of the barrels I have done, has made them better, be careful to not go to far though, Thanks for watching.
Your becoming a favorite of mine. Lol
Good to hear, more vids on the way and hopefully a little more variety. Thanks for watching.
Look forward to the lw video
Thanks, it will be coming in the next month or so. Thanks for watching.
thanks information brother
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
Great video on this matter have dun this with my stx barrel did it 3x as you say can all ways do it again but can go to far that's the secret well thay do this in the factory so it won't do no harm
That's the way to do it, little at a time that way you can't go too far. Thanks for watching.
Very good
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed.
High gratitude for making these vids man.
Searching for a liner but online options mostly 'sold out'.
I found an FX slug liner, but I'm guessing that's not optimal for sub 12lbs.
Not for sub 12, you want the normal one if possible, they do sell out quite quickly, Sportsman gun center normally gets them first, and its worth a call to the shop if you want one they may put one aside or be able to tell you when they are coming back in. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners Thanks
Awesome video great info 👍
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching.
A really interesting video, you are a very talented young man 👍. I asked you a question about my impact with a Reg that wanted to read same pressure as bottle, you said reg gone! I replaced the complete Reg now it's fine, just thought I would let you know, many thanks, Tim 😀
Fantastic to hear, glad you got it sorted, the regs can fail after being sitting for a long time, but good jobs sorting it out. Thanks for watching.
Hi, thanks for all these videos, it's excellent information 😀 can you pull through the muzzle end or would that damage the crown??
Best 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@sub12airgunners you're welcome 🙏🙏
Nice vid and good explanation. Thank you. I got this superior 22 liner. 70 cm. Its the second that was fitted on my Maverick. Am / was not to impressed with the performance. Second liner was fitted on warranty. Still not doing what it is suppose to do. Had the liner out and found during cleaning a huge lose spot. Actually from about 30 mm from the leade to about 40 mm before the choke.... Am now a bit fed up. Did fit now an “ old pre superior pellet liner, no lose spot, nice and tight. Grouping is a lot better. The 15 .83 and the Hybrids do very well at 50 mtr. Do the 100 mtr later.
Now I am thinking to polish out the tight spot in the leade of my superior liner. I do believe that sqeezing the pellet or slug through that first tight spot causes the most of my troubles.
Possibly, if its a scrap liner anyway it may be worth a shot, not much you can do with a loose barrel, and having the pellets travel smooth and consistent is going to give it its best chance. Thanks for watching.
Very educational and great workmanship, I’ve managed to get some light scratches on my impact,can you recommend anything to cover them.Thanks Ste
Depends on where the scratches are, if they are on the bluing of the barrel you can touch them up with some wire wool and cold bluing the affected areas, if its the anodizing its slightly more tricky, some people have has luck with the Birchwood Casey Aluminium Black, you can find vids on how to do it on UA-cam. Thanks for watching.
Can’t wait until you bring out your own rifle put me on the list.
A little ways off yet but its on the to do list. Thanks fore watching.
As always, a great video. Thanks.
I see that there was a pot of valve lapping paste when you were using the string method. You also mentioned removing grit.
Do you also use lapping paste? Is this the same technique as the autosol?
Thanks again
The pot was there just by pure coincidence, it lives on a little shelf just above the vice but must have fell down. I have used that in the past to polish rougher barrels, as it does remove more material, the method is exactly the same, small amount between the knots and back and forth concentrating on tight or rough areas, I will say that you do have to go back through with the auto sol after the lapping compound just to get a nice finish. Thanks for watching.
Am digging your channel , lots of good unbiased information.
Did you get a chance to test the polished liner against a standard one?
We didn't do it for the video but yes the groups from a polished liner were better than a original one, you mainly notice the reduction of flyers, although the main benefits is that the liner does not get dirty as quickly, once polished the barrels will last 1000's of pellets before needing a clean, so in our experience they stay accurate for longer. Thanks for watching.
Hi Jake love the videos as always and some serious skill with the machinery. I wondered in one of your previous Leishy vids you said you maybe making barrels for yours. Would you be making them for sale at all ? Im just down the road from you in Orpington :)
Thanks, good to hear, haven't got around to the barrels yet I have been snowed under, they are defiantly on the way though so I might make a couple for sale. but we will see as time goes on. Thanks for watching.
Great vid!! I have the 600 dynamic in 22 I installed the 8 hammer weight I think it came with the 4 hammer. I’m getting max 920 fps with 38 grain. I would like to get 1140 with 40 grain what upgrade can I do?
Where do you get the small dremel polishing bits for the breach etc? I have just purchased a new lothar walther barrel in.. 22 and ported it for my rapid 7 but need to polish the porting etc.
I found these just on Ebay, I got a big pack of all different sizes link below. Thanks for watching.

Should we Do same process With kalibrgun cricket tactical barrel The entrance of slug or pellet is hard to push in barrel
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Early happy new year to you!
I’m going to try this.
I usually use slugs as my rifle is fac. Should I do a test push through with slugs or pellets as I think I tried it once before with slug and it was quite tight so abandoned the push through.
I suppose, as long as something shows up any rough spots in the liner it doesn’t matter pellet or slug?
i use pellets as slugs can be supper tight with the amount of surface area they have and pellets will give you the same info 👍
@@sub12airgunners makes sense! Glad I aborted it with the slug. Although, could have reassembled and fired it off if it got stuck!
Interested to see if polishing improves it.
Thank you for replying.
Excellent vid, in your opinion do you think a superior liner would benefit from polishing.
Yep, they can benefit from a polish the one in the vid is a superior liner, I just took the sticker off. I would say to take it steady though, a little at a time, its not hard to do but you can go too far if your not careful. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners Many thanks
I’m wanting to make a impact barrel with a .177 600mm liner from a fx crown, would this be possible? With the right sleeve/porting tube
Yep, you will need a .177 transfer port, joiner piece, jam nut and the steel tube for the 600mm liner, but its possible.
Wäre interessant die schussbilder zu sehen davor und danach
Hi, what was abrasiveness of tuse paste you used? Here in Europe we mark it like 600, 1000, 2500, 5000 more bigger number its finer.
yes we use 2000 and 3000 to finish
I am having problems with my M3. I can not get a stable group of more then about 4 without flyers of up to13mm left,right,up and down at 20 Yards ! Took the liner out and pushed a pellet through. The first 50mm was as expected then the pellet fell through and tightened at the last 10mm. Sent the liner off to be checked by Sportsman gun center who say there is nothing wrong with it. What do you think ?
Was it Rob who inspected it ?
@@tyrantwitness2482 No idea. I have now resolved the problem. I tried another liner and it was the same. The problem was that the shroud and end can were out of align causing a very slight collision with the pellet and the exit hole. Made a carbon shroud with a decent silencer and now brilliant. Anyone else who has a similar problem look for lead dust in the can.
Do you find that bigger plenum on maverick outpowering M3?
Hi we only do sub 12lbft so a small plenum is what we need 😁
Hi, what kind of material is stx liner?
Hello sir. I want to buy a tube. barrel. 22 but I did not find. Can I make a lathe please answer as soon as possible
Hello guys !!! Do you make barrels? Or just modifications? I been looking for a slug liner for my lcs first generation i have no idea if its possible but probably you guys can help me whit.
Hi, sorry we don't take work on for people 😌
can nickel plating be a good idea?
Can you damage the barrel crown this way?
I have done this a few times and never seen any damage to the crown after I was finished, FX liners don't have much of a crown anyway, the barrel end just needs to be clean and smooth, and unless you are very heavy handed I don't think its possible to damage it using this method. Thanks for watching.
Grouping results before and after?
Coming soon, I can only get to the range on weekends, but next time I go ill do some groups with this liner and a standard one. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners Any news?
@@sub12airgunners Any news?
Can I ask, why didn’t you just cut the other end off that was you wouldn’t have to do the pellet leed.
I wanted to keep the choke, I can put a lead back into the liner but I cant re-choke it. Thanks for watching.
Rather obvious one would have thought !
Buenas vende los productos por EBAY ??
Great video ! How do you feel about the STX liners wobble ? I kinda think you have to be lucky just to get the good ones... 2:00
Yeah liner wobble is a bit of an issue, the main problem for the liners is rigidity, FX are addressing the issue now with the carbon sleeves and the fixed barrel, but having said that when you get a good liner, its really hard to beat, my best liner is at least as good as the BSA barrel, but you do have to get lucky with your liner. Thanks for watching.
@@sub12airgunners I knew it from the moment i got my .22 liner that is was a no good piece... I got my .25 liner i ordered and it is ingraved from Fx the .22 did not have any label or whatsowever. The .25 looks almost perfect for as far my eyes can see so as soon as i receive the barrel housing for is to make a complete barrel i'm gonna try it out. Think i'm gonna buy a new .22 liner because i'm sure i'll never get acuracy out of it. My Lothar Walther on the Hatsan also is not that super rigid. But with a heavy silencer that gives it some weight on the end i'm sure the pellet left the barrel before the tip of the barrel jumps up to whatever the direction it jumps from the hammer movement. So sometimes it might gives some advantage in my opinion. I already got the carbon sleeve, i atached the tactical rail to the bottle and i think that i might make a barrel suport just like the Hatslan Blitz has. But then it could be too rigid i guess. Thanks for the reply !
How much fx barel .22
sorry we don't sell them
Just let your pellets break in the liner. I’ve NEVER had an issue with an FX liner…never.
Can you send me this berral .
One thing I don’t understand is if you’re spending so much money on an expensive gun why do you have to polish the barrel in the first place? FX should be doing it for you before it’s delivered to you unless they don’t believe and polishing the barrel for some reason?
Jezus you shoot sub 12. What can you improve?
to get a 5 shot 1/2in group at 50 yds with a sub 12 FX, there's lots you need to improve 😀
Anyone get a poi shift after having the liner out?
Yes that is very common
@@sub12airgunners ty i did find a bumch of videos on liner indexing.
these fx barrels are not useful in any way, long or short, I only use #TJ barrels for me it is the best barrel on the market, better rifling and better precision at long distance it is not affected so much by the wind
Never tried a TJ barrel, but I do agree the FX ones have some limitations. Thanks for watching.
Would love to converse with you one on one... Any chance you'd email me please?
