I’ve heard the M3 barrels have a more precise fit. With the STX barrels and liners from the MKII work with the M3 without a loss of accuracy?

Do FX Impact MKII barrels fit the m3?

They should be the exact same; if anything the tolerance levels are on the rifle and not the barrel system. The only other differences may be the additional support in the barrel system like the carbon fiber sleeves. Now that is just my take on it and I'm sure others will have additional information as well.

Yes they will work 100% my most accurate setup in my M3 is actually out of my old dreamline.

So you are saying that dreamline barrel fits well in m3?
what do you have to change to make dreamline barrel work in m3? Thanks

Yes the pre Super light barrel systems like the MKII Crown Has. Zero modifications to fit. If the barrel is 14mm OD then it will work.

Oh? That’s something I haven’t tried! Good to know! Sadly I’ve been trying to order those barrels for months now with no success.

Yup. I’ve done it many times. Pre SuperLight Dreamline barrels work in all the current FX models. With the Dreamline shroud they work perfectly in the Crown (Mk 1 and MK 2) and the i shrouded barrel is identical to the i shrouded barrel for the Impact Mk 2 and M3, Wildcat MK 3 and Maverick. If you have the right length shroud from say a previous Impact barrel (regardless of caliber) then you can simply put that on your Dreamline un-shrouded barrel. Even better, Dreamline 600mm barrels cost substantially less than Impact 600mm barrels. I recently purchased the shroud parts from FX for a 500mm and 600mm shroud so that i could use my Dreamline 600mm barrels, and also my Wildcat 500mm barrel in my Impact.

I have done the exact same thing and even went to order the shroud from FX directly. The shroud for the Impact and the Maverick are different and my OCD kicks in so I ordered the shroud from FX.
That worked out great but can you guess what happened the next time I tried to order the shroud; out of stock with no date for replenishment; was going for the 700mm for the Maverick. I eventually found the barrel kit and now just have the dedicated setups instead of swapping everything around.
