Panthera My FX Panthera MKIIWith Bull Barrel Being Shipped Tomorrow

[Billm]

Newman notified me that my Panthera is being shipped back tomorrow. I saw that there is finally a video discussing the Bull Barrel. It’s By Europe Airguns and so it’s in Spanish with subtitles. It gives a lot of good information about the Bull Barrel. In all honesty, it is the video that FX should have produced. It discusses the plenum insert and the loss in plenum space. Apparently the Plenum adapter has a hex inside it to aid in removal and installation. I’ve seen estimates that the Bull Barrel reduces the plenum space by 20-25%. That estimate is incorrect. This video explains the math and how it reduces the plenum size by 50%. I’ll reserve judgement until I get my rifle back and see how it shoots. If you’ve heard or seen the reports about FX sponsored shooters shooting their Pantheras/Dynamics with Bull Barrels and no shrouds, it’s because FX gave them access to an enlarged plenum. The stock shroud doesn’t fit with the extended plenum. Even with subtitles, this video is worth watching.

Math is fun! I wonder if the extended plenum was always part of the conversion kit.

I did not get an extended plenum with mine.

I'll be interested to hear how not having that affects ES & SD especially after filling.

This opens the door for a lot more of questions. Does one get the BULL BARREEL or not.. This definately explains the delay of BULL BARRELS. Looks like FX should of done a lot more of R&R before they jumped the gun on release. This Gentleman figured this out on his own. We here discussed the PLENUM volume here before . He just explained it with much more detail. FX didn't even explain all the hick ups that you might have, when they introduced the SOLID & BULL BARRELS. Like I said before FX is great @ MARKETING. Buy all the latest & greatest . You need this , you need that. When does it all stop? I know now FX is not as good as they claim to fame. This is certainly my opinion. I am totally awed about this mess. I will end on saying this . Why on earth would you get the BULL Barrel with no extended plenum. Or for the fact of FX not selling the extended plenum with the kit, Shame on FX for not dis-closing all this. YA GO BUY THIS TO AFTER THE FACT NOW < THAT YOU BOUGHT THIS. Go figure. In my opinion , FX showed their trust colors. I wiil end up probably selling the Panthers 700 .22 that I never took ownership yet March 26 to Date what a joke.

Yes they should have. They should also be more transparent about what happened with the coating on the Bull Barrel.

I have to learn re-straint from FX . Just ignore them @ this point Bad for business MY 2 cents. Maybe by not receiving the Panthera as of now, I can kiss this rifle GOOD BYE. & stay free & clear from anything that says FX on it !

I don’t know i really like the drs tactical. I think its better to just realize they rush products to market then forget fx all together. If you wait a yr you will be happier

It should of been included, but shame on FX I also agree with you 100 %

Yeah, they do a lot of stupid crap, and I don't actually like how they build their guns, BUT, they can blow you away when they are running right. Don't get rid of the one you've been waiting for until you have actually shot it. You owe it to yourself to shoot one when it is on.
