I’d email DonnyFL, they have to have the specs.

I believe the original poster is from the UK (Manchester, England)

He knows that he can swap calibers on an FX Impact.

What I believe he wants to know is whether he is violating his FAC (Fire Arms Certificate?) by adding the .22 caliber barrel kit to his .25 caliber Impact.

Its a UK regulatory question the way I understand it.

You're correct
On my UK Fac license for example I can only have the calibres stated and only one of each (.22/.25) I have a .25 cal so the license states the gun and serial number.
If I get a .22 cal that gun identity will have to be filled into the .22 space in the license which has to be filled in by a firearms dealer.
I'm asking if anyone knows if I buy a .22 barrel for the same gun I have in .25
Can the dealer register the same gun details in the .22 slot.
It's definitely a question for the UK fac license holders as shooters from over the waters won't be clear in our gun laws.

Great hunt, and an excellent post. The pics show a text book example of typical fox squirrel habitat. Reminded me of some of my youthful hunts in Mississippi.

Thank you. I think of all the hunting I've done in my life squirrel hunting is the most enjoyable. It's funny around here when I ask to hunt squirrel people look at me weird.

I just went through this a week or so ago. It turned out to be not really the reg it self but the O ring inside the the hole the reg screws into. and it wasn't easy to get out or in....., pack your patience I got it out by using a pick to carefully pick it till it cut it in half.... good luck..mine was OG impact

maybe you shooting your pellets faster...

Mine is the 700mm I shoot them around 930 fps

I have a maverick that came with both 500 and 600 barrel kits in 22cal. I purchased a 30 cal 600 barrel with probe and mag for it. Will come with 4 22cal mags, 1 30 cal mag plus 22 cal slug power kit as well as factory kit. It currently has factory gauge up front and sekhmet reg gauge.
will come in fx hard case for protection when shipping.
more accessories also, just message for pics and more info.

looking to trade for a leshiy 2 repr in 22 or 25 cal. Not picky on accessories, as I enjoyed running my old leshiy 2 in factory format.
Willing to add cash to sweeten the deal.

let me know what you have

thanks for looking.

Sorry to hear of your scope troubles
I was looking forward to a review of the scope as it applies to benchrest.
About the same time you posted, I was also looking at scopes . I looked at the Delta Stryker 5-50 x56 with the moa reticle and turrets since they had a slightly finer adjustment compared to mil ..3.5 mm/5 mm per click. I mainly shoot from a bench. I want the finer adjustments. The Delta has some incredible glass and the turrets are marked in huge numbers. Makes it easy on aging eyes. So if i was clicking, i wouldn't have to put on readers to check the numbers. I have never looked through the Trijicon, but i am very glad to be looking through the Delta.
Hope you get your scope back soon
Mike

The Delta has the same tube and lenses as the Trijicon. I believe the poor clarity of my Trijicon comes down to quality control. I had a friend of mine who shoots the same matches I do, and owns a Golden Eagle, look through the Trijicon. He concurred with me regarding its poor clarity. He went on to say that the Trijicon is unusable in its current condition.

I received the RMA from Trijicon the same day I filed the warranty claim. I'm shipping it back off to them today.

I agree with that statement, however the title of the thread is "why aren't springers externally adjustable", not "why doesnt someone make a niche model that has multiple power settings". There are springers with multiple power settings. If you want one you can buy one. If you think you can do it better than they do, then do it. The answer to the title question is exactly what I posted. Nothing more or less.

One of the issues here is the disconnect between thinking that businesses are able to cater to niche enthusiasts. I see many questions here that are essentially "why don't airgun companies make exactly what I need and want". The answer is always, because they have a business to run and it doesnt make sense for them to try to cater to every want and need. You think like an enthusiast, they think like business people that have to make a profit in a generalized market to survive. It is the answer whether you like it or not. You don't have to agree with me in order for me to be right.

Yes, I did get a bit ahead of myself and forget what the title of the thread was. That said, I think you extrapolate too much about my thinking. I agree that businesses usually cater to profit margins and to the largest addressable market. That said, there is room for niche products at appropriate prices (just check out etsy). An adjustable springer would be a niche product that would probably be priced double of a typical springer.

At the moment I'm just here to talk about the technical aspects of whether it's doable or not. However, there are a few people on this and other forums that have not only thought of the technical points but are also working on the business implementation. A decade ago, launching a new springer to compete with the heavy weights was not economically viable but I think we've turned a corner. Today, you can draw up a new design in CAD, print a semi-functional prototype from a 3D printer at home. Ensure that pieces fit together as expected and test the ergonomics. Then you send it off to an online CNC shop to make a working prototype. If all works out with the CNCed prototype you can take pre-orders on a place like Kickstarter. There are plenty of services that will do production on a few hundred pieces, and the best part is you don't have to curate sales channels or pay middlemen. You can take pre-orders and not build a single production rifle until there is enough demand.

I think we can agree that you won't get an adjustable springer at standard prices, and it won't come from Gamo, Weirauch or Diana. But it's definitely not an unrealizable endeavor for a small entrepreneur.

Lorsque vous aurez terminé ce projet... La prochaine fois que je peux suggérer ?
Réglez la détente à 45 degrés en mode « tapotement uniquement ». Cela signifie que votre doigt ne tire pas la détente vers vous, mais qu'à partir d'environ 45 degrés, vous la touchez simplement. L'effet sur le couple est nettement réduit.
au fait...je suis en train de bricoler en ce moment pour retirer les 5 chevilles afin de pouvoir intégrer mon propre assemblage

pas l'angle d'une lame de déclenchement, mais l'angle avec lequel vous déclenchez.
Saisissez simplement la poignée, l'index (doigt sur la gâchette) tendu droit.
Au lieu d'enrouler votre doigt en premier autour de l'avant de la gâchette, tapotez-le simplement avec le bout du doigt sur le côté à environ 45 degrés, ou peut-être 30, selon la profondeur de la prise et la longueur de traction de votre doigt.

WOW, nice collection

I know that these instructions are NOT for the rings that are installing, however, there is excellent information on the MOA gain/minus when setting these sort of adjustable rings up.
By the way, I also have used the Eagle Vision adjustable rings with excellent results.

Personally I like sand better than rice, but you need something that is finely woven. I found rice in the sock to be too light and too coarse for a stable rear support. I have a couple old lead shot sacks that I found somewhere and filled them with sand and double-fold zip-tied the end closed. Have been using them for many many years and have won many local matches with their help. Another good bipod for the money is the Caldwell XLA. Kinda expensive when compared to the really cheapy overseas copies you can get now, but still a budget option with far better build quality. I also have a UTG bipod I like that is built really well and is very solid, I think I paid like $90.

I’m currently using this bipod too. It feels really solid, locks into place and rotates smoothly. Performs well at a good price!

Could the Maverick owners that are using these give some feedback on what you think? Anything to consider before using one?

Thanks in advance.

I just picked up one as well! Just got the pvc legs for the quad pod.



Cheers Peter.

Appreciate all of the info gentlemen! I had actually spoken with AOA via email, but they didn’t mention sending it in for service. They did send a quote for all of the items we discussed. As of now I am going to order an o-ring kit and try to go through it myself.


Pretty sure my regulator is leaking as the reg pressure creeps up. There is also air coming out of the small hole between the reg and tank psi gauges. Am going to have to make a tool to get regular out as it is pretty well stuck in.



On another note, has anyone upgraded to a 700cc tank and the adjustable (new) Brocock/BRK trigger? Would like to get it tuned and dialed in then possibly shoot some matches with it.

Thanks again for all the help and input!!

Yes, I tried purchasing one on ebay last year. Turned out the seller had used a picture of a good one and sent one with a broken rear sight. I quickly contested it and he paid for shipping back plus my refund. If you an find a 777 it has a metal sight, one of the best I have seen. I had purchased several using ebay with no problems, 777, 747 and one 717. Built up a series for myself here in Texas and my son & grandson in Ms so we would have enough to have some matches in either place. Stripped all down, new seals, orings, and valves throughout, and adjusted.
