I didn't buy the FB2 for its looks and length but rather out of curiosity and for comparison with the Sumo and Ronin on my M3 Impact. Using it with the added extender tube and muzzle break it gives me the best performance out of all other DFL's. It's very quiet and more importantly has minimal...
I got the same thing initially but replied with a request for a special order. Usually, if it has an FX part number they can get it. I believe they had the 700mm in stock because they shipped it the same day. Contacting FXUSA may also work. Very good people.
In case anyone is interested in epoxing the CF liner sleeve to the outer black barrel housing, UAG sells the barrel housing by itself ($29 for the 700mm). This is a good option if you got multiple liners. I will follow wooferocu's method and epoxy mine. Will report back with any results.
Won’t happen… FX is making a fortune by making cheap barrels in house and then making even more profit selling us the accessories to fix the problem (-; But I still love that gun. It is very doable making a real bbl for the Impact. Here’s a YouTube video showing one made and the expected results:
Just to verify, you said “I ended up bonding the FX liner and inner carbon tube permanently to the steel barrel tube”. Did you epoxy the liner to the carbon sleeve and the sleeve to the metal barrel tube? Regarding the tensioning sleeve, I found that it acts like a tuner and depending on the...
Here's what I did to fit the CF harmonic tuner shroud over the CF tensioner sleeve: This project was done on FX Impact M3 .22Cal 700mm I use the stock (empty) FX moderator because it works just fine and does not affect accuracy as much as every other moderator I tested. First thing was to tune...
I don’t need to copy anybody’s setup to be able to tell if my gun shoots better... I just check it in my back yard. If you don’t experiment you’ll never know. FX is field testing every product they put out and there are many pro shooters involved in the design and using the tenssioners.
The barrel includes all the sections that surround the projectile as it is being propelled. The more rigid the entire barrel mass is, the less it is susceptible to whipping or harmonize with the energy of the moving projectile. It is advisable to stiffen the liner by removing any flexibility...
I assumed it was epoxied since you wrote: “The aluminum shroud tail cap is threaded in and easier to work with than the carbon harmonic tuner shroud's epoxied in tail cap. I modified both, using the alminum shroud as my prototype.” Did you remove the CF shroud tail piece with heat? Same way as...
