    FX 4 + Years with the same FX Impact M3

    What did you do about durability? I just posted a thread about the flimsy barrel and my on going progression to get it rigid. I added a carbon fiber barrel sleeve, then a carbon fiber shroud sleeve, now I fashioned a clamp that finally solved the issue.

    Thank you for your input by the way. You were the only one who read the post and answered accordingly......my complaint wasn't tune related it was barrel flex, can't tune that out.

    FX Flimsy fx impact barrel

    To clarify, I'm by no means a bench rest shooter. I am an avid hunter who big game hunts (deer, hogs) pest hunts and small game. I'm setting this Impact M3 500mm barrel up for Cyote, pigs, squirrels. I hunts deer and hog with a Airforce Texan in 9mm with a 170gr hollowpoint. I said that to...
