    Taipan Veteran Standard As Good As They Say

    My history with PCP airguns began with an Airforce TalonP and progressed to a Condor and two FX Impacts (which are amazing). However, in the never ending pursuit of learning in this great sport of ours, I kept coming across posts touting the reliability, accuracy, and greatness of the Taipan...

    Could a carbine be any more fun than this?

    I am a fan of AR style airguns and have two FX Impacts that I absolutely love. However, last week I got a Crosman 1701P pistol and added an RAI adaptor with side fold and AR stock, a TKO 6.5" moderator, wood grips, and a Sig Romeo 5 red dot. The whole set up comes in at at a whopping 4 lbs. 8...

    Yong Heng mods update

    I completely agree with the benefit from high flow ventilation. I took out the stock fan and have this high volume blower blast air directly from the back. I also have a separate computer type fan blowing directly on the compression chamber, but I don't know if it makes as much a difference or...

    Great Job, FX!

    The problem was in regard to a sudden dumping of air after taking a second shot as detailed in these series of posts: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/m3-suddenly-dumping-air-help-please.1262270/

    Great Job, FX!

    I recently had a complex problem with my FX M3 .22 cal and contacted FX customer service by email describing the issues. Their response was prompt, and recommended sending my gun back to FX for warranty repairs. The process was swift and efficient. Several days later I received a call from the...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    @KenBrenner thank you for asking. Yesterday, I received the gun back from FX after its warranty repair. I never could find the problem and sent it in for repair. The technician who repaired it spoke with me for about 15 minutes explaining everything he found- absolutely excellent customer...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    Thank you all for your assistance with this. I'm not sure what the bushing is on the valve stem. I've had the same results trying two different bottles- the original FX bottle that it came with as well as the 700 cc bottle that a lot of us have been ordering lately. Same with both with different...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    1. Listened at the breech after the 2nd shot and could not hear anything. 2. Changed the Sekhmet gauge out for an FX gauge, and it didn't make any difference. 3. Watched the gauge after the 2nd shot, and it took between 0.5 and 1 second and then it suddenly decompressed to 100 bar, but I...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    @Bigragu, I essentially ended up spraying the whole gun especially under the gauges, inlet port, valve adjuster area, bottle connection area, breech, plenum, and even the bottle itself. I took a flashlight and a magnifying glass and carefully examined each area while filling the gun and after on...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    @Vetmx thank you for your suggestion. It's definitely the second shot that drops the tank to 100 bar, and I was able to tell that it is not coming from the barrel. It's so strange. I have great hearing (recently tested), but I absolutely cannot hear where all this air is leaking from. It happens...

    Tuning M3 Suddenly Dumping Air- Help, please!

    FX Impact M3 Sniper, 700mm barrel, .22 caliber I have throughly enjoyed my M3 and have had absolutely no problems until now. I treat it in the most pristine manner- bench shooting only. Two days ago, I charged the tank to 240 bar (I never go higher than that), and started a shooting...

    Another happy yong Heng owner

    Thanks, @ezana4ce, I don't monitor the ambient humidity, but I live in Mississippi so I know it's high. I have my set up in an enclosed "workroom" in which I run an air conditioner. I also use ice in the water bucket. When I'm finished, I take a little bottle of compressed air to blow out the...

    Another happy yong Heng owner

    @Ezana4CE, the dark gold filter is a primary gross water separator and the light gold filter is filled with molecular sieve to collect the water vapor. Both "seem" to be working well- at least I hope so. I haven't had any problems with any of my tanks so far. The blower puts out a huge amount of...

    Another happy yong Heng owner

    I completely agree with @biohazardman regarding posterior ventilation. Since I had my YH, I made detailed records each time I've used it including maximal temperatures based on the temp gauge and measurements taken with a digital infrared thermometer. Recently, I removed the round black cover...

    Is the M3 bottle compatible with a Mk2?

    I've tried to find the answer to this question in the forum without luck. I recently installed a 700 cc tank on my M3 and was wondering if I could use the original M3 tank in my Mk2? I know it wont work in reverse, but I would like to use the M3 tank on the Mk2 if possible since it has a little...
