    there has been some de tuned to sub 12ftbs and im sure there was a memeber on here that had shot one or owned one and said it was not good to shoot .

    the issue now is legally de tuning . some forces let you de tune a Fac rifle but most said no.once its Fac its Fac for life .

    im pretty sure they all say no now.

    the stroke of the internals are different to say a evolution or a fenman . slightly longer stroke too .it would be a slow lock time and feel wrong in ts shot cycle .

    I heard a rumor about a gun shop importing them from Europe.

    Then removing most of the air and selling them at 12ftlbs.

    With the new owners then being shown how to pump them up again for full power.
