[@mackquack2929]

Thank you Steve for your contributions to the air gun world. As far as I am concerned you have already created a great legacy. Your videos are the most informative and in-depth.

[@Bearcityman]

Steve, it's so good to see you back. Best airgun YT channel there is 💪

[@redauwg911]

hope you're feeling better nice to see you back

Phteeeve! Good to see you back! Great video, man.

[@fliesarenegade]

Good to see new vids, Steve! Missed them!

[@UpNorthAirGunner]

Awesome video Steve! The FX King has been my go-to airgun of choice in 2024. This video is an awesome deep dive into all the nooks and crannies of the platform!

[@mr.c1642]

Finally you4e back .Thank you for great videos

[@pcpHunArg]

Great great job my friend! As always the best PCP review on the entire network. Congratulations!

[@anthonydefillippis8806]

Glad to see you're back. It's been dry in the airgun world.

[@AntonyLD]

We've missed u bud. I just bought this in .35. So much trickier to tune than my 3 wildcats ....mk2 & 3 . I will be following this vid carefully

[@paulgroth3345]

Gosh I have missed you I am so glad you're back

[@bretlawson924]

Steve, As always you provide an in depth review and how-to for the featured equipment. Much appreciated. I am still happily strolling along with my Wildcat MKIII in .22. I really admire the King's looks in either stock configuration. There is definitely no doubt about the quality and performance. Be Blessed with all that you need at Christmas and always friend.

[@yamaharider8014]

Whatta gun! If I buy another airgun, I want plenty of adjustability for power and ergos etc. The King had it all, with great accuracy.

[@Oregon-airguns]

Thanks for posting man! You have made A LOT of videos, for A LOT of years!!! It’s not easy to make videos when the passion isn’t an absolute obsession! I don’t put 1/10th of the effort into my videos compared to you, and i hardly ever post anymore. Sorry for being soo damn long winded. Just wanted to say, I get it! But above all, I appreciate it! You have done more for the community than most! And it doesn’t go unrecognized. 🍻

[@AEAC]

Appreciate you too brother. I still love it. Already working on another today🙂

[@Leadslinger619]

Man that thing looks beautiful with that Chassis 🔥🔥

[@bluewater454]

Thanks for another one of your thorough reviews. You don’t leave out any details. And thanks for starting where we all wanted to see this rifle go, at the hundred yard mark. Fifty is almost an insult for a sweet ride like this 👍

[@masoodafridi5459]

After long time❤

[@ku4nz]

great review. Hope your back if doing better. You were in a lot of pain at RMAC. Thanks

[@AEAC]

I was. RMAC was really bad for me. Steve

[@ralfvip]

Nice to see you again ❤. It finish buying a new airgun every time I watch your viedos... ohh it is time to buy FX King...

[@stevengoodman3498]

Great video Steve! What a great highly adjustable pcp. Thank you and happy holidays!🎉😊

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

What a badass air gun ... Beautiful in both stocks thanks for sharing be safe buddy 💯

[@rossm1298]

Another great video! glad to see you back.

[@BravoBassin]

man so glad to see you back I was wondering what happened to you?

[@AEAC]

Bad back injury and 2 hurricanes my friend but I'm back at it now. Steve

[@BravoBassin]

@@AEAC Well I can sypathize with that as I was injured in Iraq years ago during the war and ended up having several back surgeries and still have issues to this day so I get it all to well. But it is good to see you back at it as I have always enjoyed your channel and learned a lot from it. Hope you didn't end up with to much damage after the hurricanes. I use to live in lake worth beach FLA so been through a few big hurricanes in my time as well as lived at the beahc on an island in North Carolina as well and hurricanes do suck for sure. Stay strong and stay safe down there my friend.

[@RosemaryStaten-kj4gm]

I'll never be able to afford one...but it is a piece of beauty!!!

[@ahdnoh]

Such a nice looking stock. Curious if they will be putting that dynamic block into a bullpup system.

[@carlmaple9315]

Great review!!

[@janrobertbos]

...AEAC rulez...Hi Steve!!!...😀

[@404nitro]

I shoot those Zan slugs from my Impact MK II and have for a couple years now. They shoot great from my 700mm 1:22 twist barrel liner, and they are the ONLY slugs I have used that actually expand properly on small game. I have quite a collection of them from woodchucks and raccoons and even a couple taken from a couple of old boar fox squirrels. I have tried a variety of slugs on game, but they all fail to expand or if they do, they don't expand properly (like FX Hybrids). It seem that FX isn't offering the 1:22 liner anymore? I can't find the 1:16 anywhere either in 700mm. Thanks for another great, and well detailed review!

[@bluepunk182]

Looks nice!

[@juptristan]

Help steve when reducing bar the bottle must be removed??

[@AEAC]

No. The AMP regulator can be adjusted up and down while under pressure... just go easy. See my tuning guide videos for more details. Steve

[@antpassalacqua]

Great video

[@eitangrinspon1637]

Mr. Steve, Thank you for another fine video I’m in love with both chassis options. I wish they offered the synthetic GRS chassis. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.

Been doing okay brother, thank you. Glad to be back!

[@Joker_Mindz69]

@AEAC That's Great my Brother, Glad to see you back in Action God Bless💪🏼👊🏼💯🙏🏼

[@scotthubert1516]

What great timing I'm going to get one of these and always look if you have tested it first!

[@randycombs112]

Wish mine was as consistent in all the testing and shot strings over the chrony as the one they sent you. Did however end up putting in a Huma Reg which did tighten it some, and no Reg creep that I'm always getting with my other FX rifles with their AMP regs. Found it surprising that you were getting those speeds at that low of a reg setting and hammer adjustments. We've had to increase our regs 130-140 bar and hammer to almost full adjustments. We all know that no two rifles are the same. But seen other's in the same ball park on their rifles as mine. Its a lottery game to get one that is consistent and accurate. And noticed in the notes that you stated stock has to be removed to adjust regulator. There's other's who thought the same. No need to remove stock. Just remove the one cap head screw that holds trigger guard in place. Trigger guard lifts right up and out, and then you can adjust the reg. This is with the GRS stock. Another well done quality video.

[@AEAC]

Well, as ya saw in the video, I cleaned up my tune as received and worked to find the right ammo for the combo. That's all there was to it for me really... oh, and learn how to shoot it, lol... hold, grip, follow-through, etc.. Steve

[@andydannemiller6295]

Steve, I’d love to see your thoughts on the JTS airacuda standard!

[@topdragster365w]

Hello I just bought a FX Wildcat mk3 VP BT in .30. You happen do a test n tune on .30 wildcat mk3 VP BT ? Thx

[@AEAC]

Check out any of my late tuning guides. They are linked in the video description and will help! Steve

[@FreeFloridaAirgunner]

I've always looked forward to your videos, and no disappointment with this one. I did notice when seating the projectile there seem to be a little extra push. I switched out all my magazine on the FX airguns to the STUD Mag Loader system. They just seem to line up the projectile a little better, and no damage to the pellet. Finally, have you tried the AEA pellets?

[@ezrabrook3993]

150gr would be nice @800 fps or more. Need 215fpe. Texas hunting. Guud vid Brother 👍🏻🤠✌🏻

[@randycombs112]

Give Rti mora a look. Have one in 357 and 22. Power house's.

[@ezrabrook3993]

@@randycombs112 cool ty

[@andrewvardzik9947]

How is this rifle able to shoot pellets at that fps without the pellet spiraling? I thought pellets shouldn’t be shot over or around the 890 fps. Could someone explain. Thanks

[@AEAC]

I thought that was cool too. Somebody's figured out somethin' Steve

[@Clippedmovies5463]

Would you be willing to review and show how to tune the Barra 1100z gen 2 version now regulated

If you keep the gun and wanna sell that grs stock I been looking to buy one!

[@hectorli9707]

Awesome review ! I thinking to buy the king in 22 caliber, 500 Mm barrel. Any complete review like this one available ?

[@AEAC]

Not specifically but this one on the guides will get you where you need to go. Steve

[@hectorli9707]

@ My doubt is if I will be able to shoot slugs efficiently with the 500 mm barrel. Thanks Steve for your response !!

[@stephens3045]

Just a couple questions if you don't mind me asking them. I own an FX Panthera HC in .30cal. just wanted to know if this kit fits on my particular gun. For i know that they do fit the regular Panthera.. but id like to step it up a notch. Already have the folding stock adapter with Wilson combat rear stock, also have both bottom save a tactical real ARCA Swiss as well as top Sabre Tactical rail. (Both saber tactical) This particular rail only allows me to have or use a 300 CC bottle with it and would like to use a bigger bottle in the front. Again not sure if I need to make some sort of modification to cut out the front piece to put a larger bottle on the front or if I can get something more suitable for my needs without having to fabricate. Another thing I do have the 300cc bottle but it's rated at 250bar.. the gun also says on it that the max pressure is 250 bar. Was wondering if I could get a 300 Bar bottle and fill it to 300 bar? Without messing anything up as far as the internals. The barrel on my gun in 30 cal is 395 mm and I don't know what slug liner I should get for the heavy slug liner one to 1-16 twist rate. Id love to know what exact size FX heavy slug liner to get, as well as the 300bar fill on my new bottle. (Any Internal damage to gun) If filling that high? Also in doing all this will I need an heavy tungsten hammer, spring, & are probe kit? Thanks in advance -SS

[@AEAC]

I would double check with Utah Airguns or FX Airguns, but It's my understanding that the guns themselves can handle 300 bar but "250" is printed on the side of the gun due to the bottle limitations. Steve

[@KarolKrzysiek]

Zgadzam sie z fabiosantosem, i nie wiem tez po co robic w dzisiejszych czasach film jak celna jest jedna z najdrozszych pcp wzbogacona o lufe do slug na odległość 100yardow czyli niecale 90m. Jak nie czarujmy sie posiadam Vulcan 3 .25 wzmocniony do 140Juli i celnosc mozna cwiczyc na 150metrow badz na 200m a nie na 90m jak tu kolega pokazuje. Czysty sponsoring a nie pokazanie tego co nas interesuje czyli budzetowe bądź w realnych granicach kwoty zakupu. Mam snowepeak m30b o mocy 60Juli kaliber .25 koszt 400$ i na 60m bije mi na 1cm skupienia jsb heavy king pellet. Więc to co fx king pokazuje za cene 2500$ nie jest nic nadzwyczajnego zwlaszcza w kalibrze .30

[@derrickmitchell-k6k]

@AEAC yeah it is nice. The lake area is a nice and relaxing scene. I'm in Tallahassee now.

[@Edgunsuk]

FX swedish for over rated . Still holds the record for THE most returned gun on the UK market for faults.

[@SniperPantura991]

Amazing 🎉🎉

[@peterhickson1691]

So pleased to see you back, however, you are preaching to a very very small market with that setup, and the whole video just seemed to be for your sponsors benefits, unlike your historic raw, tell it how it is reviews for mass market models. . But like I say, good to see you back on the channel.

[@AEAC]

I was curious myself how the video would perform when I was working on it. Views and participation are great though. I think FX is #2 in the world right now after Umarex so they're about as "mass market" as it gets but I started on a new PCP from Diana Germany today. Hopefully you can enjoy it with me 🙂 Best, Steve P.S. I invite Umarex, Crosman, and Gamo to send me guns all the time and they never do. Hatsan however told me last week they'd be sending a few this year, so that's good.

[@NasrudinMamas]

Nice

[@ice.._]

I haven't seen you do anything on "American Air Arms" they make all these other brands you've reviewed look like plastic toy gun's in comparison. Why not show some support for team "EVOL"? Made in the USA and is without question second to non in every way. The quality levels of the EVOL are off the charts and are actually worth the price of admission which can't be easily said about most airguns being reviewed in this price range.

[@Peter-tb3pq]

Air rifles are advancing. AAA is the top company. F is going backwards. They’re slowing their FPS down to get accuracy because their liners are terrible. Aea Oregon’s now filter 7000 psi are regulated to 4500 psi and will take that 30 grain slug you’re shooting and push that 1300 FPS.

[@Amirjojo-d4h]

❤❤❤

[@bigearl8687]

2025 u can't be doing us like this, no reviews 😂

[@AEAC]

I'm feeling better now. Started on a new gun today :-) already. Steve

[@SKYHUNTER26]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Peter-tb3pq]

It’s not a myth that you get more accuracy. The faster you go with a slug. It is a fact which quality conventional rifle barrels. With the jump liners from F it’s the opposite. You have to shoot slow because they have a choke. Everybody knows that Steve, why are you trying to make it like that’s not a fact

[@AEAC]

That hasn't been my experience personally or when observing other shooter's tunes at RMAC & PAC. Best, Steve

[@Peter-tb3pq]

@ well there would be your problems are Mac what does anybody there know about anything. Those are a bunch of guys who picked up an air rifle have done nothing to it and don’t know what to do to it to get him any more performance side of it. They pick up the gun they shoot of the competition and most of those guns can only shoot 950 FPS with slugs. Pellets are different . The problem is you have an experience or anything you’re in a small segment of corrupted salesmanship and that’s all that BS is

[@joelclark2130]

The stock sucks,leaving out the lefties.

[@AEAC]

You can pick a left or right GRS when you buy 👍

[@randycombs112]

I'm a leftie. They have left and right in the GRS stock option. No additional cost either. And now at a greatly reduced cost, you can get one in the new synthetic stock that is ambidextrous.

[@fabiosantos8591]

It's hard to understand how an experienced person like you advertises FX rifles, and worse, using pellets. When will people wake up and see that FX, despite having good disposable performance, only opens their eyes when they've already spent money buying a rifle with a crappy barrel that loses its point of impact overnight. It would be better if you made a video of a Vulcan 3 or Epic 2, which has an exceptional barrel and costs much less. Why use pellets? When you know that the best thing is slugs. But of course you spend a lot of money buying a rifle like that and then have to spend more on a liner to be able to shoot slugs. This is shameful.

[@deaczorz]

wtf are you babbling about? pellets are the main ammo for airguns. they also delivers the best groups

[@tshooter4419]

I own several of both. Sorry bro, but you don't speak for everyone. FX is a good gun. So is AGT. Peace out bro.

I just can't understand why countless reviews are done in the wind!!! It blows my mind... A waste of everyone's time. Either do it indoors like some others or with no wind. I stopped watching immediately 😮😢

[@AEAC]

lol, wish this comment could be posted side-by-side by the ones I get that read; "unless you review in the wind, it's a total waste of time for everybody," lol. Can't win I guess! Seriously though, personally, wind-testing is the ONLY way to really see what you've got cuz they all shoot good when there is no wind... but in the wind, they don't all shoot good. Best, Steve
