OT but now I know where the groove comes from. Its a defect in the oring. Orings are made in a casting dye made of two halfs. The burrs that occur in the casting gap are deburred throug freezing the orings and tumbeling them together. Rubber vulcanization makes the oring shrink some %. It...

Thanks, I used GL4 leakage foam for welding, it was not enough to detect, but the advantage with GL4 it that it leaves no residue. Using water and soap is possibly better but maybe not as healthy to the gun.

Not sure, didn't find anything. But when I opened up and reassembled third time it was tight. So must have been some small fiber or hair stuck between? Or it could have been the manometer. More torque on the manometer this time.

If the pressure in regulated side goes down, the tank will fill the gap, the reg valve will open. The regulated air pressure is what is sealing the valve cone. If the pressure goes down the valve will open. If the pressure rises in the regulated side, the reg "valve" will only seal harder. ...

Problem solved. The rifle is now tight :) Back to tuning for accuracy. right now with reg.100bar 260mps ( 853fps) std. deviation 1.12 (3.7) :(

I did not push very hard. I used a plastic drink straw. But I think when screwing in the brass housing the housing will push the piston in the correct position. and the smaller diameter of the piston, the rod part will go inside the housing. Opened the regulator again yesterday and tried to...

All parts are new. FX sent me everything,housing, needle valve & piston all pre-assemblied. The pictures above is from the old components. But I think I can make out the same ditch in the new orings after opening it up again. Or at least I think I can see a hint of the ditch beginning to form...

No I have repeated the 10bar leakage many times now. First time I let it go from 200 all the way down to 150 to see if it would stop. After this I have begun to mark the gauge with a strip of tape to see if the leakage is about the same "speed"

What to do when the gun are leaking 10bar in 24 hours. The leakage occurred after a regulator rebuild. Have had no problem with the gun for two years. Then one day suddenly empty and wont take any air, big leakage through the small hole on the block behind the safety lever. I think its the...

I think it could be done by scanning part by part, and then guessing a bit on the cavities. Looks like that because thats where many mistakes are made, on the insides. Doing it this way would same enormous time compared to model everything. Anyways it help alot in understanding the gun.

Is there any way to get this model as STEP file or some other type of solid file format. Having difficulties converting the .stl file in Creo Elements.

Thank you GQ this is exactly what I was looking for. Having leakage problems and with this I could figure out how to pin down the problem. The zoomed in view of the regulator is what did it.

Just woundering if anyone has found or made a sketch or drawing explaining the regulator in the Impact. Thinking about doing it my self next time I have to open it. But everything is so small it difficult to measure inside the cavity. Having problems seeing inside even when using a USB...

This page contains a little bit more than the usual. Recommended basic settings to begin with http://www.airgundepot.com/fx-impact.html

Or better, use your regular nail polish :) and place one drop in the hole where the threads are visable. Then you will see if it has rotated Or even better use a thin steel wire, loop around the threads and twist to secure the set screw. Your regular loctite does not work on passive surfaces...
