Reximex Ixia 1.77 parts

[Msconnect]

Hi – Approximately 2 years into this hobby and wishing I’d just bitten the financial bullet and brought an FX Impact from the get go. Dipped my toes in and purchased a Reximex Ixia 1.77, if I’m honest was very impressed with the accuracy, build quality and value for money. At the plus 2-year mark I’m noticing a decrease in performance and require a service and while I’m at it applying some upgrades but finding parts are not exactly readily available off the shelf in the UK.

Example: I wanted to compare slugs with pellets and managed to get a couple of slugs stuck in the barrel, after numerous efforts with brass rods I resorted to the nuclear option and applied a blow torch to the equation. (problem solved, obstruction removed but do I need a replacement barrel)?

Require a full-service kit and possibly a 1.77 barrel, hints, tips and suggestion welcome and the best place to order Reximex parts please.

I would persevere with the barrel you have.
Rod a pellet through feeling for imperfections, then polish out the imperfection.
Using slugs in choked barrels is not always a good idea.

Stuck pellets should be extracted and not hammered out.

100% worth a go and dead right. Reximex barrels are often "choked", ie pressed in at the muzzle to ludicrously small amounts. I have seen 4mm, so a 4.5mm slug is going to have severe problems getting through! Some folk say that the choking is to set the power level, others to get consistency of aim. I don't really believe either, but it's not impossible.
If that guess as to cause of jam is correct, then any damage will be at the choke end, and a max of 15-20mm only. So that could be examined, cut off as required, and the barrel end recrowned. That's what I had done to my Reximex.....several forum members will do that job, and the barrel removal is not normally difficult. I used Mick, the @Logunator who did a lovely job. (However the gun had been cr4p before and it was still cr4p afterwards!). Such is life.
