Thanks Gumby, and yes I do believe the boys at AOA did have my best interests in mind. I actually believe they got the short end of the stick with regards to the Impacts. Just hope they are well compensated by FX for all of these headaches. Wasn't all too happy about them filing down my magazine...

Assume you meant me? But yeah I have no idea what they did. I had very little confidence when I got it back that anything would change, especially since I got a 20 yard test target back as well and not 50. Whatever the accurization process is, I'm convinced it's pure witchcraft, because it's...

Still haven't had a chance to put out targets yet but couldn't resist shooting a few rounds out in the field. From what I can tell so far, AOA all but fixed my corkscrew pellet issue. Don't know what was involved in accurizing the barrel, adjusting the action, and adjusting the magazine did -...

Right on... these toys are cruelly addictive. Still trying to convince my old lady that we don't need the cool new front load washers just so I can get another gun! LOL

Ginuwine - That's a funny analogy because my BMW actually does drive a whole heck of a lot better than my Altima or my Fusion at any speed (especially at 55 and above), and yes it does look better as well, but that's really besides the point. All 3 cars do what they are intended to do. The fact...

Hi Iride, ​Yes and that is definitely an interesting gun. Looks to be built like a tank. Oddly enough, I've been looking at the Edgun Leshiy but have not made a final decision yet. I'm not a fan of traditional bullpups with the cocking lever in the back but might make an exception for this one...

I think the expectation is that a $2k gun should consistently outshoot my $500 - $1000 guns. Unfortunately that isn't happening so it's very frustrating. What's even more frustrating is when I have to pay to send it in for repairs and get my brand new magazine back that's been filed down to...

Agree with you. $2k is a lot of money for anyone. When you pay this kind of money, you expect not to have to fix your own stuff or have to send it back for warranty repairs right out of the box. I spent $75 bucks to send mine back for repair after first months ownership. Going to get a...

Good point about the "hit or miss" with the Impact - I think that's exactly what it is. And what that points to is terrible QC by FX (assuming they actually have a QC dept). Brand new out of the box I was getting 2" groups at 50 yards even though the manufacturer claims to be 1/2" at 50. Had no...

Are you having accuracy issues with a brand new gun? Just asking because mine hasn't shot straight since day one and it's already been sent in for repair once already..

Thank you. I've been scouring the web for a solution and this might be it. What is disconcerting is that the gun literally just came back from repair. They replaced the probe screw (not really sure why), increased reg pressure, adjusted the magazine opening, and accurized the barrel. For a gun...

Regarding the magazines being out of stock- that's an entirely different story. When I initially received the gun, I had several tins of JSB Heavy MK1's and MK2's to test with. I noticed that the MK1's were sticking during loading which caused me to have to push the first pellet the rest of the...

The gun is shooting Heavy's at ~850fps and Kings at ~953fps on Max power. I think it's actually a combination of several factors causing my problems and the ST barrel being the biggest one. Velocity, twist rate, projectile size, weight and shape are all part of the equation. If you dump any...

travels4fun - not sure if I missed the post but did AOA eventually replace your magazine or did you get stuck with the original one that's filed down? I got my brand new impact a month ago and it's been shooting corkscrews since day one with about 2" of deviation in all directions at 50 yards...
