The New FX DRS MK2 — Britain’s Most Talked-About New Air Rifle Just Got Better
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect compact PCP air rifle that combines classic good looks with genuinely cutting-edge engineering, the wait is over. The FX DRS MK2 Classic Walnut is here, and it’s set to become one of the most sought-after new air guns to land in the UK market this year.
Built on the foundations of the hugely popular original DRS, FX Airguns have gone back to the drawing board on the bits that matter most — airflow, efficiency, and everyday versatility — whilst keeping everything shooters already loved about the platform. The result is a compact, beautifully balanced PCP rifle that feels as good in the field as it looks in the cabinet.
Classic Walnut. Modern Engineering. Zero Compromise.
There’s something about a proper walnut stock that no synthetic can replicate. The Classic Walnut on the DRS MK2 isn’t just there for aesthetics — it’s shaped and fitted to give you a natural, confident hold whether you’re hunting, plinking, or shooting from a hide. The grain is warm, the finish is refined, and it sits alongside the over-the-barrel air cylinder in a way that simply looks right.
At 500mm, the barrel length hits the sweet spot for a compact PCP. Long enough to extract every ft/lb of performance, short enough to manoeuvre through hedgerows, woodland rides, and tight shooting positions without a second thought.
What’s New in the MK2? A Proper Step Forward.
FX haven’t just slapped a new badge on the original. The DRS MK2 introduces a handful of genuinely meaningful upgrades that any serious air gunner will notice from the very first shot.
Updated APB System with Dynamic Block Barrel Inlet The revised Air Pressure Barrel system draws on technology developed for FX’s Dynamic Block platform, delivering a noticeably improved airflow path into the barrel. The result is more consistent power delivery, better shot-to-shot efficiency, and — for FAC shooters — the headroom to make the most of higher power settings without the usual compromises.
Larger Power Plenum More plenum volume means more air working for you between shots. In practical terms, this translates to improved shot string consistency and better efficiency across the fill — fewer pressure fluctuations, more predictable performance from the first shot to the last.
Quick Change Liner System This is the feature that will genuinely change how you use this rifle. The DRS MK2 allows you to swap calibres without depressurising the cylinder. Whether you want to shift from .22 to .25 FAC for a different job, or simply fancy running a different liner for a change, the process is straightforward and tool-friendly. It’s the kind of practical thinking that separates a rifle built for real-world use from one built purely for the spec sheet.
Redesigned Picatinny Rail — 30 MOA Elevation Bias as Standard The new Picatinny rail comes with 30 MOA of built-in elevation bias, giving long-range and FAC shooters the scope elevation they need without burning through adjustment at the turret. Mount your optic, zero it up, and you’ve still got plenty of adjustment in reserve when you need it.
M-Lok Slots on the Fore-End Practical, modern, and increasingly expected on any serious new air gun. The M-Lok slots let you fit bipod adapters, sling mounts, or other accessories cleanly and securely without drilling, clamping, or compromising the rifle’s lines.
Available Calibres — Legal Limit & FAC
The FX DRS MK2 Classic Walnut is available across a full range of calibres to suit sub-12 ft/lb and FAC licence holders alike:
| Calibre | Power Level |
|---|---|
| .177 | 12 ft/lbs (Sub-Legal Limit) |
| .22 | 12 ft/lbs (Sub-Legal Limit) |
| .22 | FAC / High Power |
| .25 | FAC / High Power |
| .30 | FAC / High Power |
Whether you’re after a clean, sub-12 ft/lb .22 for garden pest control and general plinking, or a hard-hitting FAC .30 for longer-range quarry work, there’s a DRS MK2 built for the job.

Who Is the FX DRS MK2 For?
This is a new air rifle built for the shooter who wants a serious, capable PCP without lugging around a full-length sporter. The compact 500mm configuration makes it ideal for:
- Woodland rabbit and squirrel control — where a shorter action is a genuine advantage in and around cover
- Hide and seat shooting — the over-barrel cylinder keeps the overall length down without sacrificing shot count or consistency
- FAC pest and quarry work — particularly in .25 and .30 where the improved airflow and plenum pay dividends at longer distances
- Calibre-versatile shooters — the quick-change liner system means one rifle can serve multiple purposes across the season
Why the FX DRS MK2 Stands Out Among New FX Air Rifles
FX Airguns have built a well-earned reputation for producing new air gun platforms that push what a PCP can do, and the DRS MK2 is no exception. Where many competitors offer a walnut stock as a cosmetic upgrade, FX have used the MK2 as an opportunity to refine the internals as thoroughly as the exterior.
The side lever action is smooth, positive, and fast to cycle. Regulation is consistent across the fill pressure range. The over-barrel cylinder keeps the weight centred and the balance neutral, which pays off particularly during extended outings when fatigue starts to creep in.
For UK shooters — whether you hold a standard firearms certificate for sub-12 ft/lb use or an FAC for higher-power shooting — this is a new FX air rifle that genuinely earns its price of entry.
A New Air Gun Worth Getting Excited About
The FX DRS MK2 Classic Walnut Compact 500mm joins a short list of new air rifles that manage to be genuinely better than what came before rather than simply different. The walnut stock gives it lasting appeal. The mechanical upgrades give it real-world relevance. And the quick-change liner system gives it a flexibility that most competing platforms simply can’t match.
If you’re in the market for a new FX air rifle, a compact new PCP, or simply the best new air gun available in the UK right now — the DRS MK2 deserves a very serious look.
Available in .177, .22, .22 FAC, .25 FAC, and .30 FAC. Sub-12 ft/lb models suitable for use without an FAC. FAC models require a valid Firearms Certificate. Always comply with UK airgun legislation and local shooting regulations
