FX Maverick Hammerweight - Must Watch! They are all different weights - FX Airguns Maverick

[@crypto_creep8222]

Fx really should have added the correct hammer weight with the caliber change kits

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

[@tnsharpshooter8517]

I bought fx Maverick compact 22 cal in May 2024. It came with 11.4 gram hammer based on my scales. Shoots knockout 22 cal 25.39 grain at 958 fps with around 123 bar in rear reg, with hammer spring aftermarket tuner dialed to 5. Shoots well too. Too much hammer weight for 18 grain pellets imo. I am liking the slug performance so well I can live with the 11.4 gram hammer. 600 mm barrel superior stock barrel 1 in 24 twist.

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Yes, FX has changed the hammer weight configurations several times since the release of this video. You can decrease the hammer spring pre-tension screw and lower the regulator if you are needing to shoot lighter pellets or lower velocities.

[@steventhompson3507]

Something I would take great care over is the inside surface of that hammer housing. I'd be tempted to hold the rifle verticaly and drop it in rather than to insert anything in their.

[@Nico-Max63]

Super explained 👍

[@mickeyhager6701]

Hello..I added the heavier hammer weight to my wc.mk3. 22cal. From the slug kit I bought,but haven't added the pin probe yet. My reg is around 115/120. The weight added speed but my PW has no affect on velocity now. It shoots same speed at all settings. I've now run the adjustment screw all the way in and it still shooting the same speeds.? What's up with this? Do I need to decrease reg.

[@timwilson8740]

I have a Maverick 22-caliber I can put the 30 caliber weight and get more power that's awesome thank you

[@stephenbrown5844]

Cheers mate for the footage my friend 😉👍🇬🇧❤️Excellent

[@n2shooter]

Well, my FX Maverick VP .30 cal came with the .25 cal hammer weight. I had to buy the slug power kit for the .25 cal in order to get the rated power out of my Maverick.

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Sorry to hear that! If you are in the USA, FX USA is more than happy to send customers the correct hammer weight if the rifle was received with the incorrect weight.

[@n2shooter]

@@910AirgunTuningandRepairs thanks. I already bought the slug kit and used that hammer, so I'm good. I do have another issue with my Maverick. I wanted to install the carbon fiber liner stiffener, but for the life of me, my slug liner will not come out of the gun! I've removed the retained screw, and even locked the tip of the liner in a vise and pulled with all of my weight and it wouldn't come out! Have you ever heard of such a crazy thing? It's like they arc welded my barrel liner to the barrel! I just put it back together and will revisit this later.

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

No, I have not heard of a liner getting stuck inside of a barrel before. If the liner lock is removed, and the liner is exposed, it should easily slide out. Shoot me an email if you would like me or FX USA to take a look at it, FoC.

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

How heavy is the weight in the slug kit?

[@davidbraswell1481]

is this the .30 cal 8mm hammer they want you to use in the new Dynamic instead of the tungsten hammer spring for the .25 Dynamic express 600mm I know they keep saying the 8mm head but never say the weight .

[@Mike-kl1qc]

Is it normal the hammer power adjustment wheel to turn past 7 and 1. I’ve only had gun for 1 day and notice the t turns past??? Thank you for this video!

[@brianfurth2839]

Great video, maybe you could tell me why my Maverick .22CAL power wheel is working in reverse..4mm hammer weight 1st reg 150 2nd 125? thank you.

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

The hammer spring preload adjustment (the internal adjustment screw) is likely over adjusted (backed out too far), thus the hammer is over powering the valve.

[@crypto_creep8222]

Great video with great info well done

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tracyr5594]

Does the wildcat MK3 bottle have same internals?

[@shawnb6944]

My .22 Maverick compact came with the 11gram hammer. The slug power kit came with a 26 gram hammer. Is that over kill?

[@antj211]

Any information to the stainless steel screws for the maverick?

[@abuagil1496]

GOOD LUCK.....FROM INDONESIA

[@diverinblack]

Greetings from Portugal! Do you know if the air tube parts (plenum, regulator, etc...) from the Maverick are compatible/interchangeable with the Wildcat mk3?

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

I spend nearly 2 grand on a new 22 Wildcat MK3 BT compact and was told, just get a barrel kit if you want to change caliber. So I spend 300 on a .25 kit and my hammer will not shoot the .25 pellets for anything. Nothing in documentation. My MK3 BT 22 came with the 7gram weight. Just learning about the heavier weights from this video. Why on Earth would they not include the heavier hammer weight with a barrel/caliber change kit??????

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

I am not sure why FX does not include the hammer weight in the caliber change kit, but the dealers (in the USA at least) all know about the different hammer weights, so the dealer should have warned you. Sorry to hear this happen!

[@VikingAirgunner]

Is it the same story with the Wildcat that the different calibers has different hammer weights?

[@clubbyboi1]

Good video mate thanks again 💯

[@bobjoatmon1993]

My brand new .25 had the .22 hammer with a thick washer so it matched the .25 your showing

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Yep, a spring washer plus a .22 weight now be about the same weight as the .25 weight, and the same thickness

[@bobjoatmon1993]

@@910AirgunTuningandRepairs my biggest problem right now is I installed the Sekhmet digital gauge, (degassed the gun obviously) and ran the 2nd reg open to flush then repressured and filled to 250 bar and started adjusting first reg slowly up with a target of 175, but as I got to 159 bar the adjuster screw was close to flush and just a half turn more it cut the oring and started leaking. Even though the gun was new I'd bought two rebuild kits so I pulled the regulator out and replaced the top one on the adjuster screw which was sheared in two. Ran the adjuster screw in four complete turns and repressured gun to 250. Again as the 1st reg adjustment screw reached flush with the rest of the assembly and the pressure was only 160 I stopped because obviously something is wrong. I did go ahead and finish the procedure to set the second regulator but set it to 135. I'm shooting the NSA 36.2 and can only get 905 to 910 (two other local guys are setting their regs higher and getting 965 to 970 with awesome accuracy. I do have the FX Slug Kit installed and both the FX Universal tuner and the CF barrel sleeve. Any thoughts on the regulator that will not go higher than 160?

[@mark2046]

After swapping the standard pellet probe in my. 22 fac maverick to the slug power kit, should I then turn the hammer adjustment screw all the way in to start the tuning process??

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Yes, I always recommend restarting after installing new parts

[@SoulSniped]

Hey 910ATR! Kudos on the very important information You brought in here… helped… Would help if You could share the length of springs too… in my .177 Maverick the Spring Cap (guide with micro adjusting screw in Center that goes over spring) rattles back and forth when un-cocked and the gun is shaken… Could be the shorter spring length?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Hello! That is actually normal for that to "float" while the rifle is uncocked. This is part of FX's free-floating hammer design

[@davidbraswell1481]

thats the floating hammer going back n forth as you hold the gun up or down

[@abuagil1496]

Nice review

[@alessandrofae2621]

how much power can i get from a .22 maveric fx?

[@adarshpb8895]

Can we swap barrel and probe from .177 to .22 in maverick compact and see increase in energy?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Yes the Maverick has interchangeable barrels and calibers. .22cal, with a proper tune, will provide more energy than a .177cal.

[@douglasmaguis4435]

What is the diameter of this hammer at the base and body?

[@nigelcundey9710]

hi can i use the heavy .25 cal hammer wieght in my .22 to ramp up the power will it fit and work cheers

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

You certainly can! It will fit and work. The .30cal weight is most of the time a little too extreme for the .22cal, so the .25cal weight (11gram) is a great addition

Hey brother no upgrades for the dream power pup yet? Thanks 🙋🏻‍♂️

Only thing you can do for the Power pup would be adding a heavier hammer weight. Besides that, the platform is already being pushed to the max from the factory

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

I installed the huma .30 14 gram hammer and the spring that came with kit. I put it back together correctly and on adjust PW setting I'm getting 991 fps.😒. On 7 it is at 881 more or less. I put the power wheel back on as the took it off. What's up with that?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Too much hammer tension - I have found that typically the Huma weight and spring combined is too much hammer tension unless you plan on running over 200 Bar regulator pressures.

[@wissammhd1293]

Anyone used the 26 grams hammer weight????

[@skyungjae]

Is the power wheel supposed to stop in either direction or spin forever?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

The power wheel should only turn in an increasing motion (1 -> 2 -> 3, etc). The indicating setting is the number at the 6 o'clock (bottom most) position.

[@maurocervantes1544]

Thanks for the information quick question my rifle is very inconsistent past 100 bar I have it set at 120 shooting slugs if I get it lower it won’t get the speed I want and the weight it’s around 11 grain if anybody can point me to right direction thanks a lot

Is it normal for the hammer weight to move freely. I mean, i can sense it moving forward and backward when i wiggle the Maverick

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

Yes, it is a free-floating hammer system. If the rifle is not cocked, the hammer system will slide back and forth

[@mustafakhan7953]

Dont we need to change the hammer spring to me it more powerful?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

.22 and .25 already have the strongest factory spring, so the hammer weight is the only piece that adds more force to the hammer

Just put the slug kit!!! Fits all calibers!!! What is this for?

[@Mike-yq6jg]

Would you fit these as well as the liners on a 30 sniper maverick as part of a tune.

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

The .30cal sniper will already have its appropriate hammer weight. For .30cal, you do not need to change the liner unless you are shooting over 50gr projectile

[@nokainketerakum7267]

What if I want high power in 177 cal ?

[@910AirgunTuningandRepairs]

It is not recommended in an FX barrel, but the most you would need is the 25cal weight aka 11gram

@@910AirgunTuningandRepairs hi, just a supplementary question, - will change from single to dual port transfer system, change pin probe and a stronger hammer spring not help? Thanks in advancee

[@allenhaymond5934]

THAT ON FX WILDCAT MKIII BOTTLE

[@pliashmuldba]

Well with that original .177 hammer weight, you are not shooting 16 or 20 grains at speed for sure, but 13 grain slugs will be just fine also 16 grain beast, but 16 - 20 grain slugs, i find that just are not working, either from lack of speed or more so the barrel being a pellet barrel as no slug liner exist for .177 shooters. Putting in a heavier hammer weight in a .177 maverick, well you get more push power but i feel ability to flatten shot string speeds go out the window. Also HW click ball, so stupid, hole should have been deeper and steel ball should have been a steel pin with a rounded end.

[@rajivkotwal]

You are abs correct. But I believe change from single to dual hole transfer port, pin probe and a stronger hammer spring can help the .177 calibre Mavericks to handle 20 gr slugs without the slug liners

[@pliashmuldba]

@@rajivkotwal well i had no problem getting to over 1000 FPS with the 20 grainers, and so getting damn near to 50 Footpound of power. But both 16 and 20 grain have never been as accurate as 12.5 - 13 - 13.43 have been in the regular liner. 16 grain i have tried H&N and Zan, 20 grain only Zan.
