#1 FX Cyclone project
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:26 am
few weeks ago I bought a secondhand Cyclone. It's a bit rough around the edges so I'm going to rebuild it into a target/HFT gun.
The first step is already completed: gathering parts.
On the picture are:
1) An FX Cyclone without its reservoir
2) A "spare" reservoir with an FX regulator in it which I formerly used for the regulated .20 Typhoon (which is a .22 ST barreled unregulated Typhoon now )
3) A 24" Lothar Walther choked polygon .177 barrel
4) A Revolution breech
5) A pepper laminate Boyd Gunstocks blank
I picked up the breech from FXOC forum member MG7, thanks for that! I need it because it gives me more clearance for single shot loading (added benefit: It'll fit the 16 shot .177 FX self indexing magazine too!)
The To Do list is obvious:
1) Port the barrel
2) Make a Single Shot tray
3) Fit the stock (which might turn into a headache as the trigger ends up too far from the pistol grip to be comfortable...I need to work on that. Maybe a setback trigger, or else I need to move it further back).
4) Make it shoot 11.5ft/lbs for HFT work. Remove the power selector.
5) Pretty it up
