    FX FX Impact M3 - fired with bolt open

    My buddy just purchased an Impact M3 from this site and was shooting it for the second time so it’s still brand new to him. He accidentally fired it with the bolt open and now it’s leaking at the first regulator gauge. He emptied the magazine (25 or so shots) and it functioned fine. It‘s...

    Shout out to Fireduck

    Fireduck (Tristan) had an FX Impact for sale here in December. A buddy of mine was looking for one (after shooting mine) and found Tristans. We talked to Tristan on the phone and determined he was legit (it was a heck of a good price for a gun with upgrades and a great scope included so we...

    Benjamin I degassed my Benjamin Marauder and now it leaks.

    First time I ever degassed it and now it won’t hold air at all. Is this normal and do I now need to take it apart and replace o rings?

    Fittings for air hoses…

    I recently bought a water filter and a longer hose to attach to my air compressor. To make all the pieces work together I needed a coupler with female ends. Ended up going to my local auto parts store and they pulled one off their shelf and it cost me 6 bucks. Used it today and it worked...

    Just filling my guns, not a tank.

    Wondering if I should have have something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q221JFX/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A39CP3T8JONR46&psc=1 I’m pretty sure I should, just a lot of different models and would like to know what others are using.

    95 yard pigeon

    I arrived at a neighbors farm today and saw one pigeon on the nearest silo. Got my 25 cal Impact out and snuck down to the equipment shed for a rest and a closer shot. It had flown off the nearest silo and landed on the farthest one that I ranged at 95 yards. Lucky for me, unlucky for the...

    How to fix Benjamin Marauder bolt

    I broke the pellet probe on my Benjamin Marauder .177. Called Crossman and they didn’t have any replacement parts because the gun is a “generation 1”?? I think that was the reason, too old is what he meant, they didn’t have any regardless… It still fires but I haven’t chronographed it yet to...

    To sell or not to sell…

    Most of us have sold a gun we regretted selling. I have one I’m thinking of selling and tying to come up with the pros and cons. Pros: My first springer. Still in like new condition. Still as accurate as it was new. Worth more now than when I bought it. Never runs out of air. Cons: After...

    Rats on a boat.

    I’d like to setup an outdoor range like this. Has anyone done anything like it?

    Son shoots my Impact for the first time.

    My son is home from college and we finally get around to getting the Impact out and shooting it in the basement. He thought it was pretty cool. I handed him my FWB 124 and said “ here try this.” He shot it a couple of times and asked about the Marauder which was standing up against the bench...

    Red dots on springers

    Would a red dot sight hold up to the recoil of my FWB 124? I’m thinking this combination would be good for pigeons in a barn. Shots are pretty close but the crosshairs in a scope can disappear inside a dark barn. And I have a red dot laying around but I have to get a picatinny base for the...

    Diana Model 48 .177 Caliber

    I purchased this around 2012 or 13. It’s stamped with 07 07 which I’m told is the manufacture date, July 2007. It’s in perfect shooting condition as it’s been shot very little, easily under 500 times. No modifications or tunes have been done, it’s factory original. I’m moving away from...

    Time to get a .22 cal barrel for my Impact…

    Rsfrid convinced me with his 8 yard .177 hole group thread… I’ve been resisting shooting in my basement for years but had to try it tonight just to see what I could do… I shot 4 air rifles, my Crossman 760 I bought for nostalgia from my favorite local gun shop that closed up when the owners...

    .177 Marauder vs .25 Impact on a windy day

    It was gusty and cold today but shooting from inside my heated shop was quite comfortable. Wind was blowing from about 3 o’clock. .177 just can’t handle the wind like the .25 can but even with no wind the Marauder isn’t as accurate as the Impact. But of course the Impact should shoot better...

    177 Prometheus pellet (and others) pictures

    The box… left to right Prometheus 6.1 gr, JSB Diablo Exact Heavy 10.34gr, H&N Silver Point 11.57gr, FX 13.4gr (JSB Exact Monster copy) I had 3 types of the Prometheus pellets. One was in a green box just like this one and the other was in a round “bottle” about the size of a 35mm film...

    Wind drift question.

    I pulled this from this article: https://hardairmagazine.com/ham-columns/the-external-ballistics-of-slugs-in-airguns/ The drift was calculated using ChairGun. Note that the least wind drift occurs when starting with a muzzle velocity of about 900 fps, and increases when the MV is either slower...

    FX Impact - which hand do you cock with?

    I shoot left handed, I’m right hand but left eye dominant, and have been shooting this way for 45 years. When I got my Impact 2 months ago I kept the cocking lever on the right side. I shot it like that for the six weeks and then thought, ”hey, I could make this a left handed gun so I should”...

    RWS 48 question.

    Is it possible to convert this from .177 to .22 caliber?

    Crazy accuracy from Impact

    Disclaimer first. This is my first .25 caliber and it’s an FX Impact M3 700mm barrel. Before this and for 52 years I’ve only shot .177 air rifles, 2 springers and a pcp. So I’m not familiar with this kind of accuracy in an air rifle. I have a Kimber (of NY) 22 rimfire that will shoot like...

    Velocity - an interesting change…

    Has anyone noticed the new sub sonic powder burning ammunition coming out? New bullets designed to expand at very low velocities in cartridges loaded at those same low velocities. It’s almost like they are competing against air rifles…
