Mullet’s RULE!, UA staff better be sporting them or it’s not legit

Impacts are really great Airguns. FX drama aside (if you even pay attention to that, which don’t) I love them. My first FX was the Impact MK2. Will always own one of those. Have an Impact M3 compact. Really like it. Like the two reg system. I have always liked having less pressure on the second regulator since dealing with reg creep on the Mk2 even after upgrading to the HUMA reg. I will end up buying an M4 I am sure. Why? Because I really like impacts lol. But the RTI Mora in 357 will come first. The RTIs are a very close second to Impacts for me for top all around enjoyment Airguns.

Best part about Impacts, easy to tune, easy to reseal and repair, easy to find parts, east to get customer support in USA, easy to find O-Rings, easy to find PDF schematics. You will really enjoy your M4. Congratulations on your purchas!

@PumaCarl Holy Cow, the Mk3 Explode lol and I'm actually surprised they grouped so well at 50 yards being such a light slug, thanks for the suggestion.

Don't think I'll use them on squirrels because I don't think they'd penetrate enough, at least on these rock squirrels, they are tough.

So here's what I found out today: @1112 fps (High Power on the Pulsar) the JSB 10.03 Knockout MK3 are all over the place at 50 yards, too fast



So I slowed them down to 1018 fps (Medium Power on the Pulsar) and the group was less than 1/2" at 50 yards, under a dime size... Those circles are 3/4" circles.



So I tested expansion of the 10.03g MK3 @ 1018 fps / 23 fpe in 5gal bucket of water and they just blew up. As a comparison I also shot the 16.5g Varmint knockers @894fps / 29fpe.

All the shrapnel is by the 10.04g MK3 knockouts on the photo but I actually think that most of that is from the Varmint Knockers, the Knockers didn't really mushroom much they seemed to fragment leaving the core to penetrate deeper....which you can see helped in the later photos of the squirrel.



So I had a little more time and since the Pulsar was sighted in for the 16.5g Varmint Knockers I just used them, the 10.03g Knockouts were shooting high and I didn't want to screw around sighting in for different distances, I'm just now getting the ranges down for the 16.5g and as you can see I'm a little off on my Kentucky windage.

Squirrel was at 38 yards and I hit him a bit low (I'm zeroed at 50 yards), and here is where I'm glad for the extra penetration because I don't think the 10.03 would have been as effective. Hit him in the neck instead of his head but the 16.5g broke his neck, travelled down the spine a bit and almost broke through the opposite shoulder, slug was just sitting under the skin.

Another squirrel for the stew!



Another fine day.

In my opinion, any o-ring on the barrel that is not used for sealing, but for support causes possible variations.
But a fitting is more costly to make than compensating tolerance with an o-ring.

nice cards / wonderful gun ! I find i shoot a lot more consistently if i take a break between cards (20 or 30 minutes) but i have the time shooting at home range

just reread and found some fat finger typing mistakes

I am also lucky to have a home range - can shoot almost any time I want to, weather permitting. I'm limited to 50-60 yards so travel 100 miles round trip if I want to shoot out to 100 yards. Needless to say, I get much more 50 yard shooting done!

I was trying to sort out a slug problem .My M4 loves h&n 218 and the new JTS slug that has no diameter size just .22 . I tried some of the new corbin slugs 28 gr & 34 gr both in 218 . My M4 and my amigos M4 did not care for them so much . The only visual diff was the corbin had a deeper dish base with shoulders where the other two were slight dish no shoulder. Just a dimple . I decided to measure 10 slugs of each of the three . The JTS were 8- 218 & 2-218.5 OK . The Corbin were all 217 . Then my favorite H&N 218s were one at 218 & 3- at 216.5 & 6 at 217. Any thoughts on this will be pondered greatly ! Thanks

I've had no problems with my past 3 orders...

1. Just wanted to see how consistent I could keep the fps of the first shot.
2. I use the DOPE every time now because it took me so long to get good data.
3. The 30 cal is tuned: Air Valve = 3.0, Macro = 16, Micro = 3.5, 1st reg =150 bar, 2nd reg =115 bar. The only time I have to increase the Micro is when temperature drives plenum pressure up 10 bar or greater.
4. The 177 is a stock M3 tuned for < 12 fpe. Air valve =3.0, Macro =1, Micro =2.1, 1st reg = 120 bar, 2nd reg= 70 bar. When I am shooting multiple days in a row I leave the rifle in the van. The hammer strike on this rifle with normal plenum pressure is so lite the wadcutter striking the target at 20 yards indoors is louder than the shot. If plenum pressure increases 10 bar due to increase in temperature the fps drops from 810 to the low 700s. The next issue is the shot/bar on this rifle is very, very high. I have finished two 10 bull cards before the plenum pressure dropped to 70 bar and one more 10 bull card before the 1st reg dropped to 120 bar. In short, if I charge this rifle to 200 bar at 25 to 30 °F and it warms up to the range temp of 65°F I can complete 60 bulls with sighters before bottle pressure drops to 190 bars.

I have bought multiple airguns off ebay, mostly high end, vintage Feinwerkbau's. Firearms off Gunbroker.

Awesome shooting on those marauding squirrels!

Ed,

The tin I have is the domed not the "hollow points". I got some decent targets with one tin of the 10.5s in my P35-177 but then subsequent tins were terrible. That's one of the reasons I soured on Crosmans. I had the tin of 14.3 Crosman domed in the coffee table my Prod is in. It doesn't shoot them quite as well as the copper plated H&N FTTs but well enough. But it doesn't matter if they are the hollow points or the domed. They shoot to the same POI and they take squirrels exactly the same. The hollow point does nothing at Prod velocity, in other words. I also worry about being able to buy more Crosmans that shoot like the old tin I am using.

I tried 18 grain Baracudas this morning and shot a 188. Wind was a little worse and I wasn't consistently judging it right but I don't think the gun likes them as well. Next will be JSB 18s. Today they were shooting great, mostly. 25.4s were poor, 15.9 were OK, and 13.4s shot really well. But I only have a few of the light ones. They were going over 950 fps. I will probably get a tin. I've never had a gun shoot light pellets fast and well like this. I wish I could shoot at 50 yards at home, it would be interesting to see if the accuracy holds up.

Okay Rich, I see that on your website now.

So i guess not going to consist of this part ..lol

My guns do not care. I have a tin of the normal FTTs but none of my guns shoot those well. But my Prod really likes the copper plated FTTs and my P35-177 and P35-22 really like the Baracuda Match which come in multiple head sizes and they don't care which I use. The P35-22 shot a 3 shot group at 25 yards with both head sizes into a hole that looks like only one pellet went through it (two different groups, one with each head size).

I’m shooting from the kitchen table into the garden so I’m always in her way “
That when she said let me have ago !
I should have said No”
Because I haven’t heard the last of it ! Lol
Her favourite is when we have guests is show them my target I shot hunni .
Bless her I say it’s beginners luck

I have been successfully using one of these.
Currently at 67 hours without missing a beat
No wiring required
The meter starts running when the compressor starts
Sensitivity can be set so that when running the fan only the meter does not clock the time
It is attached to a magnet using the double stick tape provided and the magnet attached to the CS-4 case

just my too seconds

I kinda want one of these for my car! Would be interesting to see hours logged for the year, and overall.

I wish there are reviews of filtration systems that are as well done as rifle reviews. Pretty hit and miss out there. Here's one unit I'm finding that looks reasonable. My end goal is to find a good filter that does not cost more than my gun, is portable enough to take along shooting, and does the job of drying the air. 90%+ humidity days are very normal around here.

I got that one a few weeks ago, works like a champ!

I bought a used Velox and am having some issues with it cycling. I did a full teardown and silicon regrease, "mostly "replaced all O-rings with "like" sizes (trying to order a parts kits for factory rings). I fixed the leak, but have an issue with cycling.
I get 2 shots back to back. Fast enough you can't register them apart, can only tell by mag count. After the 2nd round it does not go to battery with the third. It requires it to be re-cocked for the next round. It's not doubling up in the barrel. Not too sure what's going on with it. Questioning if its free flowing through a cycle with the blowback causing the second round to get chambered and blown free on a single pull.. but not sure that can happen.

I've tried high and low settings with the hammer spring with same effect, Adjusted the cocking piston forward and back on threads (same effect). Regreased everything (over greased?). Im not getting any air out of the bottom valves Allen bolts. Pressure is full for all testing and seems taper fast but normal?. Not too sure where or what else to test, tweak or replace. Anyone have any clues on what might be happening here? Any thoughts to rule anything in or out?

Please post your Non-Aigrun chatter on the SOCIAL page.

I have some of the Maple Magazines for my Challenger PRO LB 30 cal.. They are very good and solve all the issues with the OEM ones. I personally really like their single shot loader.
