Hi Steeve in your message did you say you have 200 yard range? If you do I’m interested in shooting at your range. I’m in San Marcos where about are you at

So I gather that with the purchase of a fx impact they do not supply a selection of o-rings?

San Marcos Guy-----Come on out. I am in Ramona. email is [email protected]
No O-rings supplied with new impacts.... I did get a nearly complete selection from the above named supplier about a year ago when I started having problems....Still having leak issues tho. I think it is the regulator internal O-rings which did not come with the O-ring package I ordered, and part number is not shown in the diagram I have. so I just ordered a new reg from AOA. still a bit scarred to try installing it and making something worse or loosing tiny parts that shoot off in every direction or fall on the floor and get lost... I think I ruined the reg O-rings the last time I had it apart. I was an engineer but all "thumbs" now with this gun. I recently bought a cheap Chinese gun, "Liberty/Nova" or something, that has been doing very nicely on the squirrels, bunnies and Quail....it probably has less than 4 o-rings in it and already out-lasted my Impact. It is regulated,(externally adjustable), has switchable high and low range lever, gets 150 shots on 3600 psi fill and uses universal mags that cost 12$.

The original post is almost 5 years old, but since there is 2 identical O-rings in there, doing the same job, where one is completely destroyed, and the other is undamaged, it looks to me being a user error where the adjuster screw has been adjusted to far out, and has lost sealing surface. If you look at Ernest Rowe`s video, and compare it to the picture, you will see the O-ring is plit in halves, just like he shows will happen if you turn the adjsuter screw to far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubNmXuZ_iI0
