Hi
Surprisingly it was not the case with Impact mk1 and mk2 but three M3 have come to me with bottle threads stripped.
When some incident happens three times with three users in a country like mine, it makes me think about the reason.
I understand that it's the first time in M3 when the bottle threads perhaps made out of mild steal are screwed on the stainless steel part of 1st regulator.
I understand that upto mk2 both the threads, male female were made of mild steel. In those models this incidence was very rare.
I feel that stainless steel is a hard metal. When the bottle is tightened on the front stainless steel part of 1st regulator, the nature of combination of these two metals doesn't suit each other.
It's just like some metals get seized with certain metals while with the similar clearance other metals don't get seized.
I don't know whether anyone else in the world has faced this issue with M3 or not.
If there are more such cases, FX should change the combination of both metals being used in male and female threads.
As the regulator body is perhaps made of stainless steel, in all cases that came to me, the threads of regulator part are good but the threads inside the bottle are ruined to the extent that the gun has become very dangerous.
Please users keep an eye on this issue and play safe.
