    FX FX Impact Re-seal Question

    Anybody out there ever had any experience sending a FX Impact in for a complete re-seal? I talked to Pyramid and their first response is a caution on how long it would take to get it back. Is there a best place to get this done that won't take forever? I would love to do the work myself, but my...

    After Shooting Preference?

    Is afterwards considered air gun talk? (Hope so). For you old "Poots" like me out there, what is your favorite adult anti-depressant for after the guns have been put away for the day. Probably the Royal Hat for the northerners but what about you southern Gents that have access to the "good stuff"?

    Help, M1 Impact Leak Solved, Thanks jphef

    I purchased my Impact in 2017, had the Power Plenum upgrade done in2019 and (due to continuous regulator creep) I replaced the AMP regulator with a Huma in 2020. Since then, I do not know exactly how many but there have been a bunch of tins of pellets through it and it has functioned flawlessly...

    Robots

    I was just looking around the site and looked at the Current Visitors page. There is a heading Robots and when I click it there are about 10 pages of them. Just curious, what are these, are they a bad thing?

    What About Cleaning the Moderator?

    I just read ThomasT's thread about barrel cleaning and yes, just like most of the posts I clean when accuracy demands. Last time I cleaned I opened up the Donny Sumo just to see what it looked like inside and WOW, what a gunky mess. So, I spent the next half-hour scrubbing the internals...

    Tuning Gammo Whisper Barrel

    I was given a Gammo Whisper that the breech seal is severely damaged on. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a complete barrel for this rifle? I went to the Gammo web site and cannot find a part # for the barrel. I'm thinking that replacing the barrel will probably cost about as much as a...

    Pick Pic

    Next time you get your teeth cleaned ask your hygienist if they have any old cleaning picks they will part with. Mine said she just threw them in the junk drawer when asked this morning then pulled these out and gave them to me. O-ring tools for life! Oh and if anybody needs their teeth...

    Reborn Carbon Fiber Tanks

    Does anyone know what the current requirements are at the 5 year interval after a CF tank has gone through digital wave corps MAE test and been re-certified? I have a neighbor that bought a used cylinder that was re-certified in 2017 which means he will have to do something next year to...

    This Could Get Ugly

    I was indexing a new superior liner with a CF sleeve and when I went to make the second turn I found that the liner is stuck and will not come out. I have put as much pressure on the liner as I dare and it absolutely will not move. Has anyone ever had this happen? If so, how does one fix this...

    Tuning New Install-Superior Liner and CF Sleeve

    I installed a new superior liner and CF sleeve in my .22 MKII Impact today. Very pleased with the 50 yd results. After the sight in shots, all were in 5 shot groups using 18.1 JSB's with Avg velocity of 912. Had a slight headwind so I will blame the flyers on that. If I could get my scope...

    Have You Encountered Aftership?

    I was wondering 1) has anyone else seen this and 2) what do you think about it. I placed my first order with one of our larger airgun suppliers last week and when I got the shipping info yesterday I found that the package was being handled by Aftership. So, naturally, I googled it and got this...

    FX Impact New Magazine Issue

    I bought my .22 Impact in 2017 and had the PP mod done in 2020 along with the addition of the hi cap side-shot magazine. Last year I decided to do a thorough barrel cleaning so I pulled the complete assembly and gave it a scrub. When I re-inserted the barrel assembly the only way I could get...

    Just how cruel can Mother Nature be?

    This is kinda gross but I thought I would share for those that may have never experienced this. I live in North Florida and in the heat of the summer about 6 out of 10 squirrels will have what we call "wolves". I don't know if those of you in the north(or other foreign countries) ever...

    Jethro Bodine Shot

    I had just finished re-tuning and sighting in my .22 Impact this morning after a regulator replacement and a good barrel cleaning when this guy lit on the top of my pellet trap. Now I realize there might be just a little luck involved here but I'm thinking that shooting the head off of a 3/4...

    Survey Sez

    Did a quick survey this morning and in a unanimous 3-0 decision I have found that my squirrel friends prefer JSB 18.13's.

    FX Impact MkI Regulator

    Question to FX MkI Impact owners; Is this good performance for a regulator? I have parts ordered to rebuild this reg because it is creeping +/- 15 Bar overnight. I want to know what to expect after the rebuild, should I expect the exact same speed every shot with a +/- 1 minute interval...

    Parts From FX USA

    I want to purchase parts to rebuild my Impact regulator. For anyone that has ordered from FX USA, are they the best source? Ease, price, & delivery all OK?

    Tuning FX Impact Questions

    Why does the Impact manual say that using regulator pressures below 100 bar will void the warranty? I'm past the warranty but was wondering if this can damage the regulator. I recently did a pp upgrade and with a 100+ bar reg setting I can't tune below +/- 915 fps with hammer spring...
