Got it all o-rings replaced. I'll air it up tomorrow to see if it holds air. Wasn't too bad to do. About the same as my Gen 1 Mrod in difficulty I'd say. We got 17.5 inches of rain here in southern Somerset County Pennsylvania last month! Had major flooding! Washed out main roads and bridges. Worst I've seen in probably 35 years. Our usual monthly May average rainfall should be around 5 inches.

Just checking Gerry, since you did not mention the gun model - are you sure it is regulated? That could have a lot to do with it . . .

I have a .22 caliber Air Ranger with a 17" barrel, and it came from the factory set up as a 50 FPE gun, and it could do that with heavy pellets (it made 48 FPE with JSB Beasts at 33.9 grain, and I was able to tune it up to 50FPE). It is an unregulated gun, and the sweet spot of the power curve was 2900 psi at that power level (so a 3175 gave me about 25 shots with an ES of 1.5%).

I found I was able to easily tune it down by making shorter hammer spring spacers, and could set it up as low as about half the energy shooting 16 grain pellets at about 24 FPE - using about an 1800 psi fill for the same count and ES as above).

By the way, the gun stated that the max fill was 250 bar (so 3625 psi), but it would always be in at least partial valve lock at that pressure - it would fire, but at a much lower speed. I found no matter how I tuned it, the max fill for keeping it under 3% ES at max power was about 3300 psi. Also, the hammer in those 50 FPE Air Rangers is heavy - a bit over 100 grams if I recall correctly. That said, it has a great snappy shot cycle at the lower power tunes and is a joy to shoot like that, so that is where it lives now (~32 FPE) - I even fabbed an internal SSG for it so it works great as a very high shot count plinker too - if I'm willing to tolerate a ~70 FPS ES on a 930 FPS max speed, I get over 100 shots on a 2400 psi fill (shooting from 2400 down to about 1500 psi). That SSG made a huge difference on the backside of the curve, as the hammer used to bounce and waste air like crazy, but now it just fires once with a little less speed . . . .

Anyways, that is an unregulated data point at high power with a shorter barrel . . . .

If I’m reading that right looks like 6 shots on reg. Honestly not as much as I’d expect, but still clearly showing the merits of a 7000psi fill imo. Compare this to an umarex hammer which has roughly the same air capacity and reg setting but a 4500psi fill, it’ll only make 2-3. I’ve had my own experiences with aea/bintac qc shenanigans but I can’t fault them for trying and bringing to market something new. They’re certainly not known for air efficient guns so it’d be cool to see other brands exploring the higher fill pressures as well.

I'm working on holding 3-6 card local matches. 3 relays in the morning, 3 in the afternoon. I was trying for this summer but I have to wait for September to gain membership at the club with the facilities to do so.

I haven't had mine long, and have so far only shot it on my backyard 25 yard range. And with .22 cal JSB 15.89's it stacks pellets in semi-auto mode as I have it set up with a scope (I'm using the zero eye relief MTC Viper-X 3-12). 15.89 domes only slightly more accurate as compared to FX Atomic hollow points. About 1"+ groups @ 25 yards with a full-auto magazine dump if you hold things as steady as you can. Both of these figures are shot off a bench with front bipod and rear sandbag. So measuring accuracy of the gun more than that of the shooter.

At the power my gun is set for (22 FPE, and I haven't tried to adjust it since receiving it), it would really only be good for the small pesting (ground squirrels) I have been known to do. And I'm darned certain that it would have at least 'minute of squirrel noggin' accuracy at 50 yards.

The Mordax was my introduction to SubMOA barrels. Since then I have also traded for a Brocock Sonoran, also with the SubMOA barrel, but this time in .30 cal and of rifle length. I enjoy the accuracy of both my guns with SubMOA barrels.

OK any of you Impact guys making your own slugs with Corbin press ? I like reloading and fiddling thats why I have an Impact just love fiddling ! Thanks !

Sadly, you won't find one, and I have not seen anyone brave enough to do a full teardown video on their guns like Gregor did with the Huben either . . . so we are on our own when it comes to working on these things in any way not mentioned in the limited owners manual.

Western Airguns appears to have a policy of not releasing any parts diagrams - the Rattler and Sidewinder have been out for years with no parts diagrams released yet, despite AoA saying it would happen years ago . . . bottom line, don't hold your breath.

I'd at least contact the retailer (AoA?) about it to get heir advice. I did that back with my Sidewinder a few years back on an issue that needed a part (magazine indexing mechanism) and they sent it to me and told me how to fix it, which I was good with - that way I did not have to send it back. In your case it may well be an o-ring, but it is not worth voiding the warranty over it, especially since parts are not available for easy direct purchase (since there is no parts diagram) . . .
