FX IMPACT COVERTING TO LEFT HAND

[Fordcnc]

Ive been studying the FX IMPACT for some time now.
Will be placing a order very soon now. 
I'm looking for two bits of info. 
1st) Does anyone know about getting a new FX SMOOTH BORE TWIST X BARREL in 25 cal. ?
I think that new design would be a great addition to the FX IMPACT setup.
2nd) I have a idea how to covert the cocking system to the left side. 
Has anyone out their tackled this issue already?
It's because I'm left handed, part of the minority race.
I know FX doesn't make one. 
Plus I have a CNC machine shop to make it happen captain.

Check out this video from side-shot mounting on an Impact converted to left handed.

I was thinking to really top off your conversation I think the new Crown magazine will push in from the left hand side.

i havent heard of it being done ,,,,cool idea,,, we lefties are always left out,,,, ,its sour,,,,,you would think FX would understand ,,,,Frederick the guru behind FX is also left handed,,,i was born with ambioplia in my right eye,,,,i throw and bat right and write with my left ,,,shoot left but prefer a right hand action ,,so Utah airgun is sending me a fX Wildcat right action left cheek piece ,,,they told me left handed wildcat are sold their on a regular basis ,good luck on the lefty impact keep posting please pat

It has the cocking on the left side but he is still shooting it right handed, I think the magazine is going to be your biggest hurdle it would have to be redesigned to be loaded from the left side. this is the video of him using the gun at EBR.

Thanks for all the info.
I found it interesting.
my idea will be a little different.
Side-shot system and their mags were a well thought out design.
I'm trying to schedule a trip to the Dallas air gun show on 8/26/17.
Thanks again every one.

Xarus. Just for reference as I said. The Crown magazine is the mirror image of the Impact magazine and although I haven't actually tried it 99% sure it will load from the left side. 
I think side shot mag is a good option.

Good news for us lefties. You can now buy a delrin cheek piece to cover the right hand butt plate for your cheek.

I'm left handed and have an Impact and have no problems shooting the gun. I installed a Side Shot Magazine and still have no problem. If you shoot from the bench you have a advantage over a right hander because you don't have to remove your hand from the grip to cock the rifle and shoot. This lets you fire very fast and never have to break your grip.

Here’s my left hand cheek piece.

Nicely done. Any chance of a low volume production run?

Yes I have blanks already machined out, waiting on the carbon wrap.

If you are willing to ship across the pond, please do count me in.

Very true, but I have found in the field I prefer left handed action. I do wish more airgun even powder burners would come interchangeable. Good luck with the left handanizing that FX

I think impact is designed for left-handed people, because:

1. You don’t have to remove your hand from the grip to cock the rifle and shoot.

2. Safety latch is designed for left-handed people because it is designed according to the AR15 model, using thumbs to manipulat.
