Shooting With Phil, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!
I'm working on this stuff day and night🤣......glad it was helpful!
Great stuff!! I find your videos very interesting.
Glad you like them!
Thank you very much for the video is very informative about hammers, cheers
Very welcome
Your video is a breath of fresh air…. I have been saying the same thing for the past few months…. It is always good to hear someone else share your findings…
Have you considered changing the valve return spring to a lighter one that is cut precisely to the exact length needed? Also changing the spring to a a more consistent spring (eg mizumi)… You can experiment with different spring weights until you find the one that balances perfectly…. I shoot 25m Benchrest and reduced my spring weight to the lightest spring, changed the valve return spring to the lightest and found that my standard deviation is consistently below 1…. I agree with you that the weight of the hammer is not as important as the preload… The key is to get the lightest hammer weight that can fully open your valve at your desired plenum pressure…
Thanks for the comment? Where do you get the lighter springs? I have not seen those available anywhere but would like to try them.
If I had a Maverick I would be, though it might on my list as you have made it so easy to adjust, thank you
Give Tom a chance for your business if possible! Thanks for commenting!
Fantastic content!
I have both the maverick and the wild cat I have the VP in the maverick like yours. Funny my wild is compact bottle version and I have hardest time tuning my Maverick from what you just showed us centimeter or meters make a big difference. As soon as I’m able to bring my finances and budget back in order I will order two quick tune sets and hammers. Your system is Genius!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it!
good job / info. thks
Great Video. Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
So maybe you can clarify something. Your quick tune system which you sell on Ebay now. Basically turns a Maverick into an Impact lite? I own a Maverick VP so if I buy your kit then why would I want to spend more than 2K for an Impact? The reason for the Impact was the tooless external adjustability correct? Because if that's true then a Skout Epoch would be a better use of 2k.
Impact lite? Yes, mostly. There is an extra layer of adjustment with the Impact (valve adjuster). The Maverick/Wildcat is a simpler build as well. There are around 40 o-rings in the Maverick and closer to 70 o-rings for the Impact. The Epoch is about $800 more then the VP and there are used Mavericks/Wildcats available on Airgun Nation for an even lower price point. I like the idea of learning on the mechanical systems and then moving to the electronic systems. From what I have seen, both are good platforms.
Great job 👏🏻
Thanks for commenting!
Hi Phil, interesting video, thanks. Will your quick tune micro adjuster fit onto a Wildcat Mk3? Thanks, Pete.
There is a different kit for the wildcat. Will be available in approximately 4 weeks, keep an eye on the channel.
Great video. I’m in the UK. How do I get the mods for the FXs. I’ve been on the site and it doesn’t even want to chat or accept my phone number ! 😕🇬🇧
Hello,
If you are in the UK you have to use the eBay links in the description of the video. Here are the links just in case.
Maverick Quick Tune Kit - www.ebay.com/itm/256409282679
Wildcat Quick Tune Kit - www.ebay.com/itm/256525606304
Wildcat Quick Tune is out of stock until November and Maverick Quick Tune are available now. If you are interested in the hammers, I have not started to sell those yet, let me know if you are interested.
In tuning, it makes a difference.
Thanks for commenting!
I love the idea of the quick tune system.
I'm slightly newer to pcps (as of last August) I own an original avenger in avenge X tactical and a FX Maverick sniper all in 22 caliber.
That being said speaking about the flange width, would I be correct in assuming that if you added a brass washer or two or three depending on the width it would do the same thing as having a wider flange? Pretty much just adding a little bit more preload to the hammer spring?
Answer is yes. My first pcp was the Avenger BP, started at the beginning of last year.
@@ShootingWithPhil2023I remember I watched your videos on that PCP as well. Your videos were part of my TH-cam research deciding which PCP I should try out first.. that rifle made me fall in love with PCPs. Thank you very much for sharing your vids
I will be installing your quick tune kit on my maverick sniper soon. Id definitely be interested in buying a hammer if you decide to sell them. Id like to find the holy grail weight for .22.
What barrel length do you have?
@ShootingWithPhil2023 I have the 700mm. I know the tune will be a bit different than your 600.
This has been one of the biggest misconceptions of these guns for a while. In some airguns with much larger hammer systems, you could use heavier hammers with lighter springs to get lighter cocking pressures and such, but with such minute differences in the weights on this style gun it is pretty useless. The preload is the key to getting high end and low end velocities and where you can make certain pressures viable. You could also accomplish the same thing with different spring lengths and strength, but it is a whole lot easier to know exactly which one you have in there when using an easy to measure hammer weight.
Thanks for commenting!
this was very interesting. just what i needed...would you ship a tune kit to the uk..
Please use the eBay link in the description. Kits will come back into stock in about 4 weeks.
Thanks..just noticed that in the description 👍
Like it. Very informative. I'm just about to subscribe
Hi Phil I would be interested in getting a hammer from you I bought your quick tune kit . Would you be doing a hammer for the 22 cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍🤠
Hammers have to be tuned to caliber and length of barrel. Trying to work out the details. Is the Popgunmick?
@@ShootingWithPhil2023 Hi mate yes it is Popgunmick enjoying the video and information content,be interesting to see how a 700mm would go with the different hammer weights thanks for sharing 👍cheers
When can i oder the kit for my maverick
3-4 more weeks is the current schedule. Keep any eye on the HPP and eBay links.
Where do i get a replacement teg.adjustet
@@nicknall6044 ebay. The link is on the description of this video.
is not available for sale. product out of stock. Could you send me the quick tune?
More stock available in 2-3 weeks.
OKAY
Where I can buy this powerweel is much better then the original from FX
There are links in the video description. Will be back in stock in about 4 weeks.
Could this be done on our 22 cal uk rifles cheers sir u k
As long as it has the power wheel on the back of the rife, the quick tune system should fit.
Cheers sir
I believe the heavier the hammer holds the valve open longer.
You can tell how long the valve is held open by the max FPS. The velocity of the hammer is more important than the weight of the hammer because when you calculate the energy, the velocity is squared and weight is not.
ISN'T THE TUNGSTEN HAMMER TOO HEAVY FOR THE SYSTEM? THERE IS A VIDEO ON TH-cam THAT THIS HAMMER BROKE THE SCREW ON THE SLUG PROBE
Not sure what you mean. Link the video if you can, I'm not familiar with it.
I don't know if it's worth spending on a kit like this because the manufacturing quality of the FX Maverick and Wildcat is very poor, the worst defect is the barrel of these weapons, when it hits anywhere you lose the accuracy of the shots because the barrels are Very fragile, any touch takes them out of position, a shame, they should get rid of this naughty liner, and have good solid barrels like the CZ barrel with low twist which is also used for slugs, pellets should end up being out of use.
I agree with you, I wish it was a little more sturdy but I have owned my Maverick since the end of December. I have put about 15K rounds through it so far and have only hit the barrel one time. I tipped it over on the bench because it got caught on my sweatshirt. P o i did shift about 1/2 in to the right @ 30yd . I put two clicks to the right on my scope it was dead on for about an hour then I cut the grass and did shooting the next morning and had to put two clicks back to the left (the exact original poi) and it has been perfect ever since. So I guess the thing is if you're not smacking your Barrel into things constantly you should be okay. And yes I do walk through the woods with my rifle I just try not to bang it into things.
Yes, that is the nature of their design. No worries though, aftermarket barrels will be available sooner or later. Maybe fx will offer a solid barrel like in the new DRS. I bet it's coming for folks that don't like the current system. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for the lesson Phil. Does your tuning system work with the Wildcat MK3? I’m supposing it would.
@@trshuster The Wildcat kits will be coming out end of April, beginning of May if everything stays on schedule. Stay tuned, there will be a video for the Wildcat kits.
