19powell90 89 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 it can be converted but personally i would buy a standard fac as daystate do them well over 40ft/lbs atb scott Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Is this a new caliber? 2.2? Or do you mean .22? Leave it as standard. They can be converted, but in FAC guise only put out about 20 ft.lb, IMO not a worthwhile power gain for turning a good rifle into something that's almost impossible to sell on. I don't see the point of FAC air, except for a VERY few situations where you simply can't use a .22LR, but in those situations there's little to gain from the tiny power increase. Quote Link to post

Point in wrong spot e no flys on you then ,the thing is my mate has a bullet gun with a muz on it and it still makes a good crack, i am thinking that a air rifle at 40 ft.lb will be a hell of a lot quieter. I see your point, 20 ft.lb is no gain and if thats what my gun is only going to give me then change it is Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 A .22 air rifle running at 20 ft.lb will be on the verge of supersonic, so will make a good crack. A .22LR with properly subsonic ammunition is far quieter, pretty much silent except for the sound of the firing pin striking the round. What calibre is your mates gun? Quote Link to post

eddiej35 10 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 As above, with a good mod on it you wouldnt hear the rifle at 30 yards. Quote Link to post
