About the FX Crown
The FX Crown is a regulated pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle introduced in 2018 by FX Airguns of Sweden. It pairs a traditional sporter stock with the company's modular internals, including the Smooth Twist X (STX) interchangeable barrel-liner system, a removable carbon-fibre air cylinder, a reversible side-lever cocking action, and a removable rotary magazine. Its externally adjustable AMP regulator and hammer spring let shooters tune power and shot count, making the Crown a highly accurate platform favoured for airgun hunting and long-range target shooting.
FX Airguns was founded by Swedish airgun designer Fredrik Axelsson, and the Crown brought the firm's modular, tool-tunable PCP technology into a conventional rifle-stocked package aimed at hunters and field-target competitors.
