FX Impact Barrel Kit Question

[egovro]

I was told today that all barrel kits from FX are mounted in a gun first and tested, leaving a set screw imprint and scuffs like the barrel has been used. Is this true? Or can anybody honestly say they have recieved a barrel without set screw imprints and that did not appear to have ever been fired?

I bought a 22 barrel kit about 1 year ago

It did not have any set screw marks on it

I recieved this today from one of the more “reputable” airgun shops. They said they were sorry for the damage on the transfer port, but said it had to have happened at FX during testing. they are going to exchange for another, but I’m concerned it will be the same.

I just got a FX .30 barrel kit a month ago. It had the set screw mark, besides that everything else look brand new.

Are fx barrel kits supposed to include the suppressor? This is a compact .500mm. And it did not include the moderator.

If I remember correctly, the barrel test rig at FX isn't a full gun, but they do need to attach and tighten the barrel. That might be where the set screw marks are coming from.

This is an old video, but go to about 10 minutes in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XljMMcgwWx4 Shows some of the barrel testing.

Has anyone called FX to ask them? Im pretttttyyyy sure they don't shoot the guns when they get to America at least. I remember having a convo about this not to long ago.
