Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

ok, got it figured out and i first bow my head in shame :-( the replacements work fine, kind-of fine, the issue is with the initial fit of the Lead-Free pellet. The head of the pellet fits fine, the skirt is real tight. If you use a setting tool get it past the breach and into the rifling, it moves ...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

I'll be very curious to hear how the cocking force is. These would be a cheaper, lighter, and from the looks, better balanced alternative than the IZH for juniors. My club has a program to introduce kids to air pistol, and they are using Crosman 2300T's, which are absolutely atrocious. It was all t...

Lead Free Ammo - Does it damage steel barrel more than Lead

Tin is harder and lighter than Lead but they are both in the soft metal area of the periodic table. From my experience the softer material will wear faster than the hard material so the steel will wear on the tin. Abrasives between the two material will cause both to wear significantly. In airguns w...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

3 for 3 with these, all have the same issue, the first one did ok for a while and got progressively worse, the other 2 were just total frustration. they would misfire 3 shots before actually sending the pellet toward the target. all sound like they are relieving pressure into the grip. one had no si...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

It seems like the valve is venting into the grip instead of into the barrel. I'm not seeing signs of blowby on the breech seal. I'm hoping I have more than a warranty as I'm a reseller, will find out today what that gets me. I have 2 of 3 units that are doing the same thing, will try the third tonig...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

a bit disappointed with my first try of this pistol, every 15-20 shots I get a misfire (or misair). not sure what is happening, the pellet is still in the breach and it sounds like it tried to shoot. Recocking without doing anything else it then shoots. any ideas or does this require a call to the f...
