[ferreting1888 7]

hi guys wondering if u could help.i have an fac and im looking to buy this type of gun because the great power and handling with it.

the problem is i foned a shop and they said to buy it as an fac air rifle from hull rather than power it up my self.

they also said buying one of those at the 12ftlbs limit every thing inside is rubbish for a power up.

any ideas???? need some help

thanks sean

Have you used one in FAC...don't believe a word of what anyone tells you!!

This all comes down to personal choice and there are those that will argue with me here, but I struggle with a FAC springer.

 

Forget it and buy a PCP if you want to go FAC!!!

i had a 12 ft/lb one and fitted a FAC v-mach kit in it,

did a few other things and the gun shoots very sweetly now at 22ft/lb.

 

the best ones to get would be an old gun thats been tunned by SFS ,venom or v-mach, but other than that it's very simple to do it yourself with any HW80 just by fitting a kit,wuld take about 45mins first time

 

this is a step by step of working on a HW80(called R1 stateside)

with the FAC kit your replacing the piston seal,spring,top hat and spring guide
