I wonder if it's the plenum neck feed hole causing it I seen some guy drill it out to 2mm that he said fixed it

FX fx impact m4 first 10 shots are slow

The plenum neck is the only issue, all other parts are not relevant.
It has been proven for so long. Mubhaur his part fixes the issue without replacing 5 parts.

Wish I would have bought a different rifle now. Next time I’ll do more research. $3k on a gun that can’t be trusted is crazy. Didn’t have this issue with my Benjamin marauder

If you search about the solution on AGN you will find that some differently designed parts resolve the issue.

OK From what I have read many times is that you mubhaur have the once and forever fixed parts ! Typo maybe ?

Pretty sure he meant there is a solution. I agree with your first statement. For the price you shouldn’t have to tear apart your gun to make it work right. Correct an ongoing problem that has existed for quite awhile now. FX should be taking in these guns and putting the new parts in free of charge, including shipping both ways. I’ve said it before, a lot of fault lies right with us consumers. People have a lot of forgiveness for companies major shortcomings. The general attitude towards this is ahhh whatever they have parts and all you have to do is tear apart your new 2400 dollar gun to fix their mistake. No big deal. Reality is, it is a big deal.

I didn’t do my research so the ignorance is on my part. I didn’t realize this was problem. Had I known I would have purchased a different and cheaper gun. Probably a marauder and go back to shooting pellets. Cheap and simple. That gun I managed to do 1.25 MOA 5 shots @ 100 yards my extreme speeds didn’t help me

I advise anyone experiencing this problem to contact their dealer and get the repair under warranty.
The new parts from FX fix the problem. No more slow shots after the change.

Do you have the new part numbers? My M4 is out of warranty, so I want to order the new parts and fit them myself
Thanks

I bought my M3 August 2023 and are still under warranty. The M4 was released after, why you tell isnt covered by warranty?

Because, in an effort to resolve this issue it was first sent to a "reputable" tuning company (not FX agents) who had the gun apart and failed to fix the issue.
I then stripped the gun myself and used the special o-rings developed by a former member, which improved the problem, but didn't solve it.
I'm assuming those "unapproved" strip-downs will have voided the warranty

Such “unapproved” disassemblies will not void your warranty unless you have left particularly visible marks, such as stripped screws.Because, in an effort to resolve this issue it was first sent to a "reputable" tuning company (not FX agents) who had the gun apart and failed to fix the issue.
