Here's a poll for a change,
I often see people posting about their FX leaking, but given the volume of FX Impacts being sold, I'm curious to see how many actually leak within a reasonable time frame.

Over a year or two, there is natural wear and tear of the O rings, and maintenance/preventive maintenance would be necessary, but how many Impacts leak within the first year? When people tinker with it?

As an FYI, my Impact bought early last year (Feb 2021) hasn't leaked yet, it's getting to be nearly 2 years now.
I did face a problem with air leaking once, due to the valve not setting properly, because of low reg pressure (60 bar), but dry firing (without a pellet, with air in the system) plugged the leak. However, there've been no leaks from the regulator, gauges, plenum etc.

Very nice condition. Around 820fps with 8.4gr JSBs.

$299 FTF in WMBG/JCC area of VA. I do not have a box for shipping.

The scope and rings are NOT included

Got this gun 3 months ago everything works as it should no leaks Only selling to buy a motorcycle. Does not include scope comes with speed loader and Donny FL ronin. Only Problem is the case has a smaller crack in but Still works the way it should$1900 free shipping.

It weighs around 6 pounds scoped. I made it for myself for Christmas. It’s a true Frankenstein.

Thoughts ? Opinions?

Haven’t seen either of them post for quite some time. They used to be really active here. Just wanted to reach out and do a buddy check to make sure they are OK?

So sitting eating breakfast and I recall some of my dreams from last night. Melatonin is no joke hahah

It was losing the safety ball bearing of my crosman 1322 in deep pile carpet over and over again. If anyone has had one ping across the room they will know that nothing is capable of inducing such anxiety than this.



I'd find it then drop it then find bearings that were way too big and drop them.

Maybe I need to step back for a while.and focus on something else

Ok so after lots of reading people seem to say the YH with water is the way to go for longevity. I am starting an air gun store next month and don't want to comw out of the gate with new customers having to have buckets of icy water just to make air. I also don't want them to feel like thw price is insane either. Those are things they can build up to as their love for the hobby increases. So that leaves me wanting to buy and stock some small compressors in the $500 or less range that would likely hold up for awhile? Is that even a logical expectation? I would plan on having enough that is one came back for warranty I would just switch them out another as I don't want my customers waiting weeks or months.

1st Gun: What is the power range of the Brocock Ranger XR in .25 & still be accurate at say 30 yards or so. *** I’m not interested in upping the power. Now known to be 20 fpe max. I am only interested in knowing it’s power range from factory and it’s corresponding accuracy.

2nd Gun: How high can you actually tune a Brocock Sniper XR in .177, beyond the stated 18fpe? Does it shoot any slugs accurately? Again, 30 yards or so.

Thanks

Can’t decide which one to get. The Vulcan 3 500 mm or the cricket 2 tactical ( longer one, because of the .25 cal) I want a bull pup, shorter the better. .25 cal ( I think) Wondering which one is easier to work on and adjust if and when needed ? Most dependable ? Easiest to find parts for or have serviced ? Both I am sure are plenty accurate ( don’t need long range) Would-like to shoot pellets mainly, but would like to try hybrids also. I really like the looks of the cricket laminated stocks. Which one would be your choice ? Or others to consider, not looking for any thing that needs to be babied or tinkered with all the time. Thanks and merry Christmas

Hello AGN:

I've been thinking about buying a $2k+ rifle from a member here and have run into what (for me anyways) is a odd but frustrating situation. This seller has been a member here for over a year with decent number of posts in that time - not a whole bunch of them but enough to be a contributing member to the forum. He's only ever listed this one rifle and has renewed the listing several times in various configurations at a couple different prices over the course of many months. He also only has a +1 positive feedback rating and it was for a suggestion he made on a thread, not for actually selling/buying anything.

The latest listing is a couple of months old and hasn't been renewed so I P/M'ed him asking if it was still available. Once he said it was, I asked if he could give me a number I could reach him at to discuss the rifle & potential purchase. He replied back that he was working long hours and couldn't talk - and asked me what questions I had. I told him I wanted to confirm exactly what was included with the rifle, get the specific thread sizes on the moderators included and some other general questions about the rifle. He came back with what's included is listed on the ad and any specs I need can be found on the manufacturer's website. Well, no kidding...who would've thunk it - I never would've thought to go to the website to get specs! Of course, in addition to the questions I had, I was more interested in talking to him live to make sure he was a legit seller and was on the up and up.

If you want someone to send you well over $2,000 for something, you'd think you'd make the time to have the conversation. Yes, I understand it Christmas and all but I asked if he was available at anytime in the coming week and he just doesn't seem to have an interest in talking or apparently in selling his rifle. I honestly don't think this is a scammer situation - it's just a guy that's not on this forum very often and doesn't want to make the effort to move his for sale item. I'm certainly not going to be sending the guy this kind of money if this is his general attitude towards selling on the forum. Now I think I understand why this rifle has been sitting unsold for so long. If he would've taken the call and spent 5 minutes on the phone with me, I most likely would've paid him right after the call but as it stands, I'll just spend that money on the next interesting thing that shows up that's being sold by a friendlier/more responsive seller???

What would you guys do in this situation: hit him up again or just move on?

Hello guys
Having issue with Maverick shooting at cold weather.We have 10F outside in NY area.
I am still trying to figure out the slug shooting consistency on this gun.
While doing that - the gun having issue keeping the same pressure on the second reg.
The first reg set to 150 and second 120.
I can see the pressure is going down to <100 while the bottle gage is 170..
When I took it home everything went back to normal.
Does anyone has an idea what could cause this?

For some reason my cricket first gen stop shooting
Feels like the hummer doesn’t have enough power.. does anyone has experience with Crickets? Or may be you know who do I talk to?
This happened to me 2 times after Derrick Wall has power toned the gun (it’s shooting 44 grain slugs at 900 fps).
First time I took it apart and put it together and it fixed itself somehow..
Now I have no idea - need help

Was looking to add a little carbine to my collection. Was leaning towards the prod. But wondering if I should try out the new Notos. Or hatsan jet. For a little truck gun/swing out the back porch door for little critter getter type gun just seeing if any of yas had suggestions one way or another or a different direction. Thanks In advance and merry Christmas!

Finally got my 100 yard target set up for January first start up practice. The plan of the steel frame swivel target frame holder came out so so sweet and as planned. Between the two set ups, I’ll have plenty to shoot up before i have to swap out target sheets.

It’s at a perfect location, as the winds come off the hills to the right and swoop down and across my parcel.

It’s going to be 2023 soon, and I want to ask you all…what lessons in life lead you to succeed?

My name is Mustafa and I am 21 years old, so I’m fairly young relative to other members here. I want to lead a life built on success and knowing the lessons that will lead me there is a head start that I’d like to have. The airgun community has always been kind to me, and I have never run into someone bad in this community. Maybe I ran into 1 or 2 people having a bad day, but I believe everyone in this community is good overall.

I want to get help from everyone here as this community is filled to the brim with well accomplished individuals. I appreciate your time in advance.

I intend to start my own business (kind of like Utahairguns) and also offer repair and tuning services as well. I am an aspiring doctor who is optimistically about 2 years out from medical school and as a side business after Med school, I want to make a successful business in this industry from the knowledge I have and will have gained from all of you.

Regards

Edit: Thanks guys…you’re all awesome

What would you say is the biggest challenge to overcome when you first started shooting pistol ft?

They sat quietly under the tree. Time to let them sing against the spinners!

Ive got several scopes recently in a trade, all in very great condition. 1)UTG 4-16×50 w/1piece rings,asking 75$ shipped. SOLD

None of the scopes have the original box, but will be packed up great. If interested in more than one, we can work something out on better price. Thanks for looking. Open to offers or trades

Nice Benjamin akela.22 with 3 magazines and Donny fl adapter. Shoots great. Sell for $350 shipped PayPal. Message or text for faster response 828-455-4459

Here's a thought how about not using a 100% soft lead but a lead alloy instead for lighter weight slugs that are the size of full size slugs. For example you can have a slug the size of a 40 grain 22 but only weight 34 or 30 gr thus allowing higher bc. Easier to obtain high speeds? And with the new Pantera magazine even longer slugs can be made but still maintaining lighter weight.

Thoughts?

Hopefully, a maker will read this and make one!

For a police officer like myself, along with fellow CCW civilian shooters, such a pistol would be a dream come true since we would be able to practice at home with a copy of the gun that we carry every day

I have a Umarex Glock, which is close, but because it is a CO2, the trigger feel is very different than that of a real Glock, plus we need to have an endless supply of cartridges.

Why hasn't anyone made one yet? My guess would be limited space for the air source, but I would gladly fill it with my compressor every 30 shots or so

What do you all think about this??

I would be interested to know

And Merry Christmas

I got a Chinese air tank and got grief from a paintball store saying no because they felt it wasn't regulated, so I had to fill it myself
Has anyone else run into this issue?
I don't mine filling it myself but I got no warning when purchasing it about this fill problem but hear some place will fill it
Thanks

This morning I have been trying to install the integrated harmonic barrel tuner. From all the videos I have seen it should go on to the impact the same way the oem threads on. I have been trying to install the new shroud for a while but it does not seem to line up the same way the oem one does. When looking down the shroud during installation I notice the holes do not line up with the barrel so it seems like the integrated tuner is defective. Seems as though I need to return it. Has anyone else had this issue?
