Hey guys video today about making a FX Crown Shroud. Thanks for watching, getting close to 500 subs so thanks to everyone that comments and subscribes.

[@gateopen9874]

Wow man. I say again. WOW. Such keen expertise. Wish I were living next door to you. I d immediately request you making me one like that. Top job. Regards, Len.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks, I do enjoy a bit of machine work and the shrouds are quite a nice little project. Thanks for watching.

[@leec8592]

Great video Jake. Thanks for posting

[@sub12airgunners]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching.

Cannot wait for some more videos on the maverick. Great videos...keep it up 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

More maverick stuff on the way, Thanks for watching. 👍

[@le3045acp]

in the future the machining is the most enjoyable part to me please put the detailed machining in for us machinist you never know when we might learn a trick from one another

[@sub12airgunners]

Glad you enjoyed it, ill keep making the machine vids, they are a bit time consuming to make but next time I make something ill bring you guys along. Thanks for watching.

[@waynefraser867]

Love your work. Its a shame you dont live in the states.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you 👍👍

[@and8630]

Very nice shroud your engineering skills are top notch very professional wish you made these to sell been wanting for my 25 crown for a while

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching

[@1001space]

work of art that great video

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@philbate5555]

Wow jake, the work you do would make any engineer green with envy, brilliant my friend brilliant.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks Phil, it did come out nice if i do say so myself. Thanks for watching.

New to your channel, I spent 3 hrs watching various videos and love the no BS talk. Have you ever thought of fitting one of your shrouds to a red wolf, I have a .25 safari, which is like carrying a spear around the fields, and it hates any type of slug. Your shroud with 500mm fx heavy slug liner that fits a redwolf safari would very interesting.

[@sub12airgunners]

Yes we have fitted the stx to a few guns now but not the redwolf would be an interesting project 😀

[@greg105]

Hi so how do the baffles in the shroud make it quieter if there are no holes in the end of the shroud?

[@PATAGONIAAIRGUNSCHILE]

Wow my fiend very nice work!! I like it

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks I appreciate that, it was fun to build. Thanks for watching.

[@andriessluiter4269]

Very fond of the Mk 2 lite weight barrel system. You stepped it up quite a bit. Would love to have it on mine Continiuum. One thing though, you dont need to squeeze the snot out of the Orings with the brass lock nut. Leave a few mm before the hex nut hits....

[@sub12airgunners]

I am still undecided on the Super lite system, it has its benefits but I think i prefer a traditional barrel system, I have yet to do a aback to back test between a STX and a normal barrel but I do intend to. I find unless I tighten the nut right up after a few hundred shots the liner moves forward, this normally results in low power or erratic accuracy so as a precaution I always tighten them right up. Thanks for watching.

[@andriessluiter4269]

I never noticed that my liners move. Have them in .22 and .25. One 38 cm .22. One 50 cm in .22 And one 50 cm in .25. I do have some 70 cm liners but find them very awkward on my Crown. Did shot them but it handles like a musket..... have the Crown Continiuum for a year now. My outdoor range has an 50J limit so that is what the Crown is on.

[@jimstewart5008]

@@sub12airgunners I will be very interested in seeing what you discover with the super light I am looking for some place with the 700mm in stock so I can order one, but perhaps I will hold off and see what your take on them is!

[@airgunslugslingers]

thank you for watching 😀

Incredible

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks much appreciated. Thanks for watching.

[@Freewheeler1973]

Absolutely love your videos Jeffsky , you need to link them on the AGF 👌

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you so much 😀 it always seems a bit cheeky to me when i link them🙂

[@fredlewis8929]

Have you ever made one for an HW97K? Awesome work

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks for watching😀 no we haven't done much with a 97

[@numizaairguns1373]

Brilliant buddy

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks, finishes the rifle off nicely I think. Thanks for watching 👍

[@smokkelaer1]

I'm curious to what the weight difference is between the original and tha carbon one.

[@sonofscotland67]

That carbon looks spot on …well done excellent job👍🏻

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you, glad you liked it Thanks for watching.

[@AntonioSantos-ih5mf]

Amazing..how much to make one for my dreamline 500mm ?

[@unballisticr.i.pdadloveand7055]

Your videos are very knowledgeable hopefully you have covered yourself with copyright you no what they’re like 👀👍 great video’s

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks for watching, as long as people enjoy the vids I don't mind if anyone borrows the ideas, most of this type of thing is freely available information if you look hard enough, and I like making the vids. Thanks 👍

[@peetje28021970]

Nice

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks for watching. 👍

[@sniperrunduk46]

good

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks for watching. 👍

[@weirhauch1002]

I think that liners are complex and unreliable on the long run .LW barrels are heavier and sturdier .This is my mere opinion .And as always ,great video 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Probably right, in my experiance in sub 12 you don't really gain anything from the liners but they do work quite well for what they are. If I had a choice though I would go for a poly barrel from CZ or LW. Thanks for watching.

[@daveevans1665]

Have you put any bleed air holes in the carbon shroud?

[@sub12airgunners]

Hi yes we do put 3 small holes in the back end of the shroud pointing down 😀

[@daveevans1665]

Keep up the brilliant work! 👍

[@jeffhello1444]

👏👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks for watching. 👍

[@robindavies485]

Hi, thanks for the great video. Can I ask what adhesive you find best for CF?

[@sub12airgunners]

supper glue is very good or 30min epoxy is great for shrouds and stuff like that

[@marcfelstead2546]

Fine but of engineering 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks, it did come out nice, if I do say so myself. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@and8630]

Hi please would you consider making me a shroud for my 25 crown doesn’t seem to be anybody else in the uk making these cheers Andy

[@johnnytaaikop]

no blow-out hole in the back of the carbon shroud?

[@sub12airgunners]

Yep, I forgot to mention it in the video, but I always put a couple of back vents in the shroud, good spot. Thanks for watching.

[@contoin]

Can you make one for someone for a 800mm

[@sub12airgunners]

sorry we don't make bits to order, thanks for watching

[@lesmo9627]

Tidy work... Warco lathe?

[@sub12airgunners]

Yep Warco GH1230, very nice bit of kit. Thanks for watching 👍

[@scottbolden1]

When do we get those in the US?

[@sub12airgunners]

The MK2 Crown should already be with your distributors, they have been out in the UK for ages. Thanks for watching.

[@paulbennett7213]

Hi I don’t suppose you can answer a question I have I have a sub 12flbs maverick before I cock it the hammer spring is rattling around is this normal many that’s paul

[@jeffhello1444]

That is normal it's a floating hammer and it rattles around when not cocked nothing to worry about👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Yep that's normal, just the hammer spring and weight clanging around, not the most elegant of designs but perfectly normal. Thanks for Watching.

[@JoePatABC]

The super light barrel system is okay for sub-12 but it's absolute rubbish on FAC guns.

[@sub12airgunners]

I thought it may be, if I am honest I don't really like the liner system for any power, I think it looses compared to a traditional barrel, and the new carbon sleeves coming out just prove this point that the liners are a bit flimsy. Thanks for watching.

[@smokkelaer1]

Why is that?
