    smooth twist X barrel assembly?

    Greetings, Regarding the smooth twist X barrel, I know the brass TP portion of the barrel unscrews, but how about the silver portion it screws into? Does that unscrew from the black tube on the barrel? I'm assuming it must, because with the borescope I can see that there's an o-ring way up in...

    FX Impact external regulated air chamber options?

    Greetings, I've modified everything I can inside my Impact, but I'm not yet at my goal velocity. The plan is to be able to push 30 gr .22 cal slugs to 1050 fps. I started around 820 fps (150 bar), and I'm now at 923 fps (180 bar). The next option I need to try is an external regulated air...

    heavier hammer or stronger spring for Impact?

    Greetings, Does anyone know of a shop that sells either heavier hammers, or stronger springs for the Impact? Some of the tuners have come up with solutions, but they don't seem to be readily available to buy. For the stock spring, does anyone know how close to being fully compressed it is...

    Huma regulator performance in Impact

    (make sure you read the later posts, because the reg worked normally on the next tests) Greetings, I got my Huma Extra High Pressure reg yesterday, and installed it with no issues at all. Today I had a chance to do some velocity testing, and I was somewhat surprised at the results. The...

    Impact high power mods for slugs?

    Greetings, I'm starting to play with slugs in the Impact, and I'd really like to shoot the .22 cal 28gr boat tail slugs from NSA due to their excellent BC. The problem is that I'd like the ability to push them up to maybe 1000 fps if possible. Currently, my rifle is all stock, and can only...

    Impact Side-Shot magazine- max pellet length?

    Greetings, I've been trying to find out if the Side-Shot magazine for the Impact can handle longer pellets/slugs than the stock Impact magazine. The Side-Shot folks don't seem to reply to their contact page inquiries, and I can't find the info anywhere else. Specifically, I'd like to know...

    Early Impact .22 slug liner report

    Greetings, I wish I had a glowing report of success, but I don't think that's the case, at least not yet. Patients is often required with these things, and I know how long it took to get good results with pellets, so I'm remaining optimistic that I'll get this sorted out. This is a 600mm...

    What velocity for slugs?

    Greetings, OK, so you have your new .22 slug liner for your FX rifle. What velocity do you tune for? My understanding was that slugs can go as fast as you can push them, at least below the speed of sound, but I don't think an Impact can push them nearly that fast. I have my Impact set for...

    Impact vs Impact-X for slugs?

    Greetings, I have an Impact that's just over a year old, and it's been excellent. I have the .22 and .30 barrels for it, and it shoots both pretty darn well. I've been interested in shooting slugs, which of course you can't (by most accounts) do with the original smooth twist barrels. Now of...

    smooth twist vs smooth twist-X accuracy?

    Has anyone seen a direct comparison in accuracy between the original smooth twist barrel and the new smooth twist-X? There probably aren't too many people who could do such a test right now, since you'd have to have both versions of the barrel and swap them in the same rifle. Ernest mentioned...

    4500 PSI tank o-ring

    Greetings, I'd like to replace my tank o-rings, since they're all pretty old, but I can't seem to find an official size, if there is such a thing. These are 4500 psi tanks using 7/8"x14 threads. I've found some packs of o-rings that claim to be the right one from one valve manufacturer or...

    are all valve threads the same?

    Greetings, I need another tank, and I've been looking at the Carleton tanks listed on Ebay such as the one below. They have abnormal valves, so that would have to be changed, but can I be fairly sure they're the same thread everyone else uses? In other words, will a typical firefighter SCBA...

    Impact vs Crown power?

    Greetings, To maximize 100 yard accuracy, I've been considering moving up to .25 or .30 cal, but I worry that my Impact doesn't have the power to launch the larger pellets at the highest speed I might want to test. Is the Crown any more powerful than the Impact? Say you have a Crown, and...

    How realistic is a 1" group at 100 yards?

    Greetings, I have a .22 Impact, and the thing is just a drill bit at 50 yards. Groups of 3/8"-1/2" are pretty easily doable, even for me. The problem is when I try to shoot at 100 yards. The best groups I can get are in the 1-3/4"-2" range, and nothing I've tried so far can improve that. ...

    JSB 18.1 FPS with Impact .22 ?

    Greetings, I'm curious what speeds others are seeing with JSB 18.1 pellets in the Impact .22? Mine is shooting 875 fps on max, and the regulator looks to be 130 bar. I know they're reported to come set to 140 bar, and I've also read that they use instruments that are more accurate than the...

    Impact, help me resist...

    Greetings, I've been out of airguns for a few years, and recently decided to get back into them. Naturally I sold off everything I had, so I'm pretty much starting over. The last rifle I had was an Evanix Max ML in 9mm/.357, and it was nice, but loud and heavy. I definitely want to stay with...
