Not sure about that. But it was one of the things I was looking for. There was no metal fragrments or threads from the rifle inside the cylinder. The threads looked fine on the rifle, and I also looked to see if any were ripped off the rifle. I can't post pictures for some reason, could...

Agreed about safety. But it was funny, AOA seemed surprised this happened, I suspect because this is a 6 sigma type event that I made worse by continuing to unscrew the cylinder. Which was a bonehead move. Thinking back, the sound of the air escaping was very loud and spooked me. As I...

Well, that was a great ending. I called AOA yesterday and they said that the cylinder was out of warrantee (I had purchased my FX-Impact over a year ago), so I would have to go thru FX. AOA then told me my other cylinder could be used, that the rifle was likely fine, and I should go ahead...

After today, I am not sure I ever want to use a high pressure airgun again. In five months, my 300 Blackout (SBR with Silencer) can come home with me - it's a two stamp weapon so it takes a while to clear. They say it shoots subsonic ammo at only 134 DB - how loud (in DB) is my impact I...

Likely my next purchase from AOA. A small pony tank seems to be the way to go here. AOA will likely check all my seals for me. I just don't have the guts to screw on my fully charged cylinder now. I shoot 600 to 800 rounds a week through my 45ACP and 9mm pistols so that will keep me...

Hi all, I have been shooting once a week, I have had my 25 caliber barrel on my FX Impact for the last two months. The rifle shooting great as always. I have two carbon fiber cylinders so about 100 pellets before i have to run downstairs to fill them both up from my 75 cubic foot air tank. I...

I switched to my 25 caliber barrel on Sunday morning after my 30 caliber started to shoot erratically. It was time for a cleaning, I had put about 800 rounds through the 30 caliber barrel, plus I wanted to shoot my 25 caliber JSB Mark II's to see how my barrel liked them. I set the power...

I think my ten year old will be outshooting me within the week. The target was 40 yards out, bench rested at about 14x magnification. Adriana shot at least ten rounds into the middle target and I shot everything else. This was.30 caliber 50 grain JSB's on Max. with the back of the gun...

Lsplyt, I have the Hawke Sidewinder Tactical 6.5-20x42 so I am not sure my scope works the same as yours. But using your post, I found that there is another control wheel on my left turret - this as you look down the scope. The outer dial is the illuminated recticle adjustment and the inner...

AOA shipped a female foster that was specially made for the impact. It is a bit longer than a normal female foster. When that is used on a stock impact, taking it off is a snap, even for someone with big hands and no fingernails like me. I almost did not install my Kraford and Lypt trigger...

Thanks guys, I had been looking at these enough to know what I wanted, and what was a good starting point. That said, I do not envision getting another rifle, yes a .22 caliber barrel and an extra air canister for the rifle, but I think I am good to go here. ​A word on my compressor, it was...

Last post for on this thread, my trigger guard arrived today from Kraford and Lypt - great construction, I will post a follow up if there is an issue with the fill port cover staying on, or if the piece does not fit onto my Impact. If they used a good magnet (hopefully it is Neodymium), and...

How about going a different route? I had the same problem, having to remove the trigger guard per the pic below. I just ordered this, and will post an update when it arrives in two days. Should make things much easier. I was talking to the guy who makes and sells these earlier today. I...

I spoke with AOA today and they are taking care of the issue by sending me another foster fitting. They told me to remove the DIN fitting and replace that with the foster fitting that came with my FX-Impact. I was not sure where to unloosen the DIN fitting but one look at the foster fitting...

Sorry, that discount was for airgun depot. But that did not stop me from purchasing another cylinder for my Impact and two high cap mags from AOA last night.
