    fx Impact mk1 valvestop has no effect anymore, hammerseat sits at 4.3mm?

    The ball seems fine. I'll do the loctite at 6mm.

    fx Impact mk1 valvestop has no effect anymore, hammerseat sits at 4.3mm?

    Hi, I have a fx impact mk1 700mm in .22 sniper and I used to use the A20 Valve adjuster knob to finetune the optimal speed. Recently this has no effect anymore. At 1 or full open 4 bars, it's all the same. I tested with reg pressure at 90 -> 140bar. Hammer spring tension is 18.7mm, changed it...

    Carette Longevity

    The maintenance schedule that I received was: change oil every 20 to 30h. check the belt every 40h and replace if worn change cooling fluid every 2 years change dryer contents every 40h I would buy it again. The only thing that’s a bit annoying is that I can’t seem to find the...

    Carette Longevity

    Removed everything and there is nothing wrong with the check valve. Did a test with it and it functions fine. I suppose the line wasn't mounted correctly the first time?

    Carette Longevity

    Thanks for the info. It literally just happened 2 hours ago so I'm going to disassemble it this weekend and have a detailed look at everything including that check valve. Nice to know it will be a simple fix.

    Carette Longevity

    Hi, mine also just went with a bang after 3 years. The fitting got separated at the condensor. No idea what happened, it was building up pressure just fine and at 200bar it just went bang. Do you have any contactinfo of the original vendor so I can order spare parts? Or is this something I can...

    Alpha-Carette compressor is here

    I have mine for 4 weeks now and also very happy with the quality. The air filter was also in the package. I opted for the base version but I have added my own PMV valve. The price difference in Europe here is huge between the base and auto-drain version, like 600 dollars! Mine is mainly for...

    JSB 18.1 FPS with Impact .22 ?

    if you can set it like this, then it is not the valve stem. measure the distance from the probe block to the back if the gun. Mine sits at 44.53mm. It should be between 44.40mm and 44.70mm. If it is not then the probe is misaligned.

    JSB 18.1 FPS with Impact .22 ?

    Strange, my max speed with the jsb 18.1 was also around 880fps with regulator at 150bar before fastening the valve stem. Now it sits at 135bar and I achieve 920fps. I am very curious what AOA did to this impact...

    JSB 18.1 FPS with Impact .22 ?

    I think it was your valve stem that was loosened by some turns. You checked all the other known problems. I had the same power problems and fixed it by fastening the valve stem. Esting Rowe shows it in

    Fx impact brass adaptor help

    Nothing goes inbetween, it is simply a sort of drilled internal line that needs to be plugged by the two brass screws. Do not put too much force on the screw , it is the small oring that make it plugged. a36 and a37 are inside the breach.

    Shooting at an angle and calculating the trajectory, energy and distance

    Hi, I'm looking for an app or calculation that gives me the trajectory of a shot placed at an angle. I've found lots of sites where I can calculate the distance and drop in inches of a shot but they are all for horizontal shots. I would like to take shots at pests in our trees but I have no...
