Marley29 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Lucky sod. I would get the maxus if I had a girlfriend as good as yours. There's an almost new synthetic one for sale on here at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an almost new synthetic one for sale on here at the mo. Gun or Girlfriend Swiss ??

Batch Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Another vote from me for the Maxus, mine has been faultless and such an easy gun to adjust to suit. Can't comment on the SX3, but as others have said it would be worth trying both guns before you committ your's and your better halfs hard earnt cash. But which ever oneyou plump for I am sure you will not be disappointed and will be constantly gagging to get out and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Your looking at guns that are to most intents and purposes are the same as regards the mechanics both FN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I chose the maxus over the SX3, sod all between them really, I just prefered having the mag cut-off switch and the speed load, which helps when in the hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Whats that turn key thing in the Vid of it that removes the 3 shot stop, presumably not the same on the UK version ? Can you stick a hi cap mag on them ?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you stick a hi cap mag on them ?.. on mine you can;t take the 3 shot stop out of it you need a FAC to get it converted to a 5 shot but i have noticed you can put 4... 2 and a half ins carts in it.. 3 in the mag and 1 up the spout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thought so shame, I reckon that would have been a winner in the Hi-Cap market for pest control and PSG.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangey Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Its a plug, remove it and it becomes a 5 shot. B) UK versions dont have it No hi capacity tube available due the the forend the uk 3 shot still has the plug but the end cap has a smaller slot in it so the plug wont fit through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 the uk 3 shot still has the plug but the end cap has a smaller slot in it so the plug wont fit through it Mine doesn't. It has the slot in the end cap, but under it a thin metal plate secured in place by a small lock pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
