Tungsten Hammer weight M3 question

[johnp]

How hard is it to install a tungsten hammer weight on an impact M3?

It isn't hard to install, as long as you are comfortable taking your rifle apart .

It's not as bad as you think. Highly recommend picking up Ernest's C1 tool from 910 Airgun Tuning and Repairs. That and a good set of metric hex drivers. Also will need a set of vise grips wrapped in tape for clamping down on your valve rod. There are several videos on YouTube.

You can 3d print a C1 tool as well that way you don't have to pay $40 for the most simple device on the planet.

I made my c1 tool from a free aluminum bottle opener...

But you would have to buy a 3d printer and the resin? I'm thinking I'm fine with the $40

Don't have a friend with one?

You can make one like I did the first time I needed one. Find a tube in the garage or junk draw.. drill a hole in it and run a m3/m2 screw into it.

I bought the C1 tool from 910 along with the reg tool. Works great and is a well made piece of aluminum. However, if your on a budget after buying your IMPACT then you could always hack something together I guess.

Not hard at all. Watch the instruction video a few times, make sure you've got all the right tools for the job (caliper, grip pliers, locktite, etc), follow the instructions step by step and take your time!, if you are running into problems; don't panic, post them here and wait for replies until continuing.
