My background: I shoot exclusively offhand (99.9%) in competitive air-rifle metallic silhouette and have used a .177 FX Crown since 2018. About 2 years ago I purchased a FX Impact M3 in .22 (knowing full well that it was not the "best" rifle for offhand). Very recently I sold it as I just...

Hi Crazyhorse Just wondering if you can assist me in making a purchase decision. Please bear in mind that I shoot exclusively offhand!!! - only use a bench occasionally for zeroing. I shoot competition air-rifle silhouette 6 times a month (competition 2 nights a month and 4 practice sessions...

Hi Everyone Many thanks for your thoughts and suggestions - all worthwhile. Hope to procure a new rifle in the new year for offhand silhouette shooting. To JPS: unfortunately I cannot request Martin or the factory to make a special tune for me as I live in Australia. Also weighing the pros...

I shoot exclusively offhand in competitive metallic silhouette out to 45 yards. I presently use a MK1 FX Crown in .177 (since 2018) and wish to purchase a new rifle in .22; again exclusively for offhand competitive shooting. I am seriously considering a RAW HM1000X LRT rather than another...

Hi Umair Thank you for your very prompt reply. Your help and videos are very much appreciated. Tomorrow I will attempt to replace all the O rings. Thankfully I have these orings, as I purchased them earlier this year for a different air rifle. Best regards Matt

Hi Umair I have just watched your YouTube video about the hidden Oring inside the M3s first regulator. I have a leak through the breather hole on the side face of the nut on the first regulator. I wish to replace ALL O rings but, unfortunately, FX in their parts diagram do not show the O...

Many thanks for your prompt reply - much appreciated. (y) 🙏🙏

Hi Allen Who is Elis? And do you have a web address for them? I would be interested in having a look at any left-handed products they make. Thanks Matt

Hi I am a very much right-handed person, but have had to shoot left-handed for nearly 55 years because of a vision issue - so left hand shooting is "natural" for me. I have a Crown in 177 and about 18 months ago had some spare cash and purchased a M3 for offhand shooting. Yes, I well knew...

Hi Triggers You are correct about a cheaper gun to do the same job for 18gr pellets. I have had a Crown in 177 for 4.5 years, but had some spare cash 18 months ago and decided I required a 22, and rather than purchase another Crown I bought an M3 for the heck of it. At the moment, I am...

Hi Steve. Excellent work and much appreciated. I've had an M3 for 18 months, and recently for some reason it has lost velocity. Once I sort that out, I will definitely be following your tuning methodology as you have described. I shoot JSB 18.13s and will be aiming for 870fps. Cheers Matt

Hi Everyone On the first regulator of my Impact M3 I want to replace the oring that sits on the inside face of the bottle connector - see attached pdf file. For some reason, FX do not show the first regulator orings in their Parts Diagram, only D96 - a wonderful oversight. This oring is...

Hi Everyone Thanks for the very worthwhile suggestions - very much appreciated. Here is my next plan of attack: (1). Watch some good videos on dismantling the M3. (2). Dismantle and check the C52 (hammerseat) and check various orings and seals etc and replace where necessary. And then...

Hi Thanks for all the suggestions to date. When I removed the bottle to depressurise the gun in order to reset the reg to 75-78 BAR, I also took the opportunity to remove the barrel and I replaced the breech seal as I thought it may be the cause of the issue. However, the breech seal was...

Hi All I am in need of help as my 16 month old FX Impact M3 600mm barrel (.22 / 5.5mm) has suddenly lost velocity. FACTS: (1). M3 - .22 - 16 months old - 4000 pellets shot - never had a slug in the barrel (2). All original factory settings - Never adjusted, tuned or changed. Hammer...
