177 impact barrel kit for the impact

[markg]

Just can’t seem to find a 177 barrel kit for the impact anywhere. Any ideas or recommendations?

I have been watching for them to show for a long time. I think it is not on FX’s priority, probably because it’s not real popular. Seems like everybody wants .25 and up the most.

I made my own. I had a really good takeoff from an AR2079 , it’s a laser with that barrel. I don’t use the outer barrel sleeve , just a thick barrel ,no thimble or anything fancy. Made a probe to suit also. The magazine was the only thing I needed to purchase. What about getting an older smooth twist barrel . Those might be easier to find.

U R right nobody seems 2 have one. Maybe you can order direct from FX?

I would definitely believe it. May want to machine a Umarex Gauntlet or pretty much any modern 177 Chinese barrel off of a Chinese PCP rifle or perhaps a Daisy 753 or 853 LW barrel as well. I bet they would be way more accurate than a 177 FX (non pre-ST) LW barrel.

FX rifles are a no-show in FT where .177 reigns.
