    Done buying PCPs...

    At least the airguns are a little cheaper than the other addictions (cars, motorcycles, guitars) that I've had. What hurts is having more than one of these "hobby addictions" at the same time! "Sorry hon, the house will be fine for another year or two without painting..."

    FX Impact C3 Bumper Replacement Warning

    What I found with some of these valve stop housings is the female threads in the body have an incomplete tap at the very rear of the threaded hole, making a mechanical thread lock of the valve stop housings (and also damaging the last couple of threads on the housing slightly). Wish I had taken...

    Catch 22 with Power Tuned .30 Impact

    I've been using Teflon tape on the barrel screw on my Mk II, but in addition file a slight notch so that there is a tiny ridge behind the point where the set screw contacts the barrel. My set screw did have at tendency to loosen, which is somewhat alarming but probably not dangerous to the...

    Everything about FX Crown!

    In my experience, an o-ring that is frequently disturbed (dismantled, adjusted, exposed to outside contamination) is more likely to fail than an o-ring that is left unmolested and untouched. So were you to constantly remove the bottle and de-pressurize your rifle (by tweaking the regulator...

    Filling pcp

    You said all the seals are right, but most commonly, the o-rings on the probe get nicked if you are not careful how you insert the probe. A new AT44 comes with spare probe o-rings, might inspect the ones on the probe and see if there are any nicks/chips out of them and replace if necessary. ...

    Impact MarkII Compact

    Custom kitted sets are much more expensive than buying individually from o-ring stores... It's a time savings/convenience Vs. cost thing I guess.

    One of those perfect afternoons...

    All was perfect until the realization that the target was upside down.... now it's all for nought, maybe another day... Jus' kidding ya, sounds like a good afternoon for sure, great to get some shooting in when the weather is Fall crisp, beats the heck out of being indoors!

    Plenum

    It is a little odd that while it can cost very little to produce a larger volume plenum in the original design of the rifle, that the manufacturers choose not to do that. Downsides? The Impact could easily have a larger plenum tube (as is done by the aftermarket supplier in Poland), but FX...

    What's good hammer weight for the impact?

    For what it's worth, I did one per the specs in the FX Impact Mods for More FPS/FPE thread and it came out at 5.6 grams (turned from brass rod stock). Seems like a good design similar to what E. Rowe had been producing.

    Utah Airguns or FX Airguns USA

    Most dealers don't service FX airguns-- not Pyramyd Air, nor does Airgun Depot; the vast majority of repairs will end up at FX-USA. When a gun is very new and has out-of-box issues you can sometimes get refunds or exchanges from non-service dealers like the above. To quote from their...

    problems with Impacts!

    Exotics don't really have to be very reliable since they are weekend toys driven on average less than 1000 miles per year. Of course breaking down on the road is never a good thing, but almost no one depends on their Ferrari or Lambo to get them to work every day! Customer satisfaction is...
