FX Dreamline UK Sub 12 Strip and rebuild.

[@keithdavies1405]

I turn to you for everything regarding my Dreamline, your engineering knowledge and skills with the air guns are exceptional and a great help to all of us who are not so capable. Best wishes.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

This video is a brilliant explanation of the workings and strip down of a Dreamline. You obviously know what your doing, unlike some on certain forums.

[@69madmart]

Fantastic content, with this video I have managed to strip and rebuild my Dreamline tac bottle, replacing o rings and upgrading the barrel liner. Thank you do much, I couldn't of done this without your expert guidance.

[@sub12airgunners]

No problem, glad it helped.

[@tomwilkins3099]

Being a dream tac owner this video is invaluable. Thanks 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Hi there very well done video mate. I own fx dreamline tactical, need to change saftey catch for the longer type , to fit a Grs stock , Do I need to go thru the hole trigger mechanism taking on and off . Would be ever so grateful if you can enlighten me. Thank you

Hi love the video no it’s quite old but just got a dreamline tact in 22 and just wondering do you have to remove the trigger and trigger cier to replace original factory hammer to upgraded fx hammer. Than you andThanks for your time. Hope you can help.

[@dylanrijnberg6933]

Just received my new FX Dreamline Lite (First FX Rifle) and straight out of the box it appears that the Hammer/shuttle is sliding up and down when tilting the rifle forwards and backwards, thanks to your video I can give the agent a detail explanation for my first FX Warranty claim...

[@sub12airgunners]

that's normal on a standard sub 12 gun nothing to worry about 👍

[@dylanrijnberg6933]

Thank you Sir, I was informed by FX this is normal too... It sounds terrible none the less!!! I will check the operation of the power wheel with my chrono@@sub12airgunners

15:54 The hummer the black part after installing back it has some play ? When not cocked, is this normal? Btw thank you again

[@krisgater6891]

Love your videos..can I ask you a question...of the rifles you have worked on.. what make and model is the best engineered out of the box?

[@sub12airgunners]

Difficult question, there are a few that I could suggest, I think for an out of the box rifle it would be hard not to suggest Air Arms ultimate Sporter R, what they make works great and is well thought out and engineered, they are, in my opinion a little boring, but they defiantly do what you want them too. Other than them FX do make very nice stuff, and most, not all though, of FX products are absolutely fantastic, its not until you go back to other rifles when you realize how good the FX rifles are, for a sub 12 rifle, I would recommend the Dreamline classic or tactical, that, I believe is the best rifle FX make for sub 12 out of the box. Thanks for watching.

Great video as usual jake , would like to see you do a disassembly on the hw110 if you ever get your hands on one👍🏻

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks, lots of rifles I need to get my hands on, never had a HW110 before but I do want to do some other rifles in the future so ill keep the 110 in mind. Thanks for watching.

[@happyhalfwit8862]

Great vid and i see you have the same problem with the wear on the main spring adjuster, i find i have to clean it and the trigger about ever 2000 pellets so will try that fix you showed. Was interested to see that you have a hammer weight of sorts mine came without one ex factory.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks, forgot to mention in the vid this rifle is fitted with the 300mm liner so the hammer weight is needed, on the longer barrels its probably not fitted. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesstatham6099]

Great video of the disassembly. How many orange are there in this air rifle and where do you get your replacement or inks from? Also how often do you tear it down like this and how often do you clean your barrel? Thanks for posting this. I just sent MI email in yesterday for a leak. I was only getting 4-5 shots per fill. Also MI email leaked about 1 bar every minute static and about 80 bar in 3 hours static.

[@sub12airgunners]

You can find the sizes and number on the FX website, they give all the different sizes for each model, some of the o rings a little hard to find so I use a few different O ring suppliers but mainly simply bearings,A full tear down normally only happens when we first get the rifle, or when something goes wrong, the reg gets serviced every few months or so, but that's not necessary for every rifle, barrel cleaning happens usually when we start to see excess flyers in the groups, or when the accuracy drops significantly. That's quite a lot of air to be loosing, it could be coming from a number of places so you are best off finding the leak and replacing the o rings around it. Thanks for watching

[@carlvandermerwe9492]

Thanks for the video. From where can I get source that trigger "blade??

[@carlvandermerwe9492]

I have your trigger blade which is great improvement and love the feel but still moving around on me..

Great video Jake, can I ask where you got the trigger blade from please

[@sub12airgunners]

I made it, we do sell them on eBay but we are currently out of stock. Thanks for watching

[@IanDFryersingersongwriter]

Great video - clear and precise - thank you - Subscribed! A quick question if you have the time regarding replacement gauges - Wika gauges are more accurate and much more ‘readable’ due to their larger scale but you would know if the 28mm Wika gauge can be used to replace the existing FX 23mm gauge at the cylinder position, or does the increased diameter prevent the cylinder being fully tightened. Thanks in advance.

[@sub12airgunners]

Very good question, I have just had a look on my rifle and the Wika gauge will just fit, it sticks out further from the body and the cylinder goes behind it, if that makes sense. the only thing is I don't know if you could guarantee that you could line the logo with the bottom, it may be rotated one way or the other. but on my rifle at least it fits fine. Thanks for watching.

[@IanDFryersingersongwriter]

@@sub12airgunners Thanks for taking the time to get back to me - it’s much appreciated - Good to know it fits - I think knowing I have an accurate fill is more important to me than having the readout ‘vertical’ - Thanks again 👍

[@leszekzajac7772]

Great video. Best I've seen. Can I pick your brain? I have dreamline with reg set to 60 bar(just of 50 bar line) shooting 8.44 jsbs @760 to 800 FPS. How do I approach reducing that extreme spread? I do have unistalled power plenum. Tbh my smk xs79 is more consistent...

[@sub12airgunners]

Sounds like a reg issue, you could try rebuilding the regulator and making sure everything is alright in there. second have a play with different reg pressure and hammer spring settings. Thanks for watching.

[@sasquatch5863]

@@sub12airgunners Thanks, it settled down a bit after upping the pressure to 75 bar, Still 20 fps spread. It will shoot with 6 fps spread when dialled down to 8 fpe. something is wrong here, or my chrono reads over 100 fps low. Ordered full service kit and new chrono, no airgun shop around me want to compare chronos, and they say they will destroy the gun if i come in to check it and it shoots hot!!!

Mine is leaking really fast out of fill port ,any ideas ?

[@shahriar907]

Very informative video it helps me a lot. You are using a fac hammer spring, does it increase the power? Thanks

[@sub12airgunners]

With the short barrel you have to use the FAC spring to get 12 ft/lb out of the rifle, I believe the Dreamtac compact will only achieve low power in the short barrel configuration, with the larger calibers and longer barrels you get more power but in the .177 barrel you need the FAC spring to get 12ft/lb. Thanks for watching.

[@StrathpefferJunction]

@@sub12airgunners That's interesting to hear. Does it come from the factory with the fac spring? The .22 short tac compact barrel too?

[@yamahabigwedgy]

Fantastic video very informative, I have an fx dreamline fac and have the same issues with the metal paste stuff do you happen to sell the modded part with the derlin insert, at first I thought it was lead build up but as you have shown its not.

[@sub12airgunners]

Sorry I don't sell it, have you spoken to FX? Someone else I know had the same problem and he got a replacement part from FX, not sure if it was modified though as he had it fit by his RFD. But worth a Email at the least. Thanks for watching.

[@1977kops]

Great video as always. I am torn between dreamtac and maverick, any recommendations please?

[@sub12airgunners]

100% Dreamtac, no question, its a much better built rifle with a more stable chassis, it performs better than my maverick and I have never had a problem with this rifle and its done over 20,000 pellets. I personally don't like the maverick and can't recommend them. Thanks for watching.

Hiya bud I'm really enjoying your videos such a wealth of knowledge and information, I'm looking to buy a Dreamline is there any pointers you could give or advice on them

[@sub12airgunners]

To be honest everyone I have seen has been good out the box, you obviously have to check the rifle does not have any cosmetic damage but apart from that if it hasn't been messed up by the previous owner or shop it should be good to go, I would go for the Dreamtac or Dreamline classic with the wood stock, as the Dreamlite is not very comfortable to shoot. But apart from that I think they are great little rifles. Thanks for watching.

[@samtucker615]

Can this be change to fac by just removing reg AT and stronger hammer spring

[@sub12airgunners]

If you have a spot open on your FAC ticket then yes, but you are better off buying an FAC rifle from the factory, you will get the right spring and reg pressure set for FAC use. Thanks for watching.

[@StrathpefferJunction]

Remember, once it becomes FAC it has to stay Section 1 and can never go back to being sub12. Even if you drop the power sub12, it has to stay on an FAC slot.
