It would be interesting to see the bottom of the top cover where that raised area would fit. Could there be a bur or other foreign material in that area? Why would they make the block with a raised area on top if it was an interference?

FX Impact MK2 pellet probe problem
- Thread starter mike4406
- Start date
Great questions,. Actually the area the block attaches to is perfectly flat, no burs, no leftover loctite, spotless. That made me question "why" that raised area on the block was there in the first place. Also, note the pic below, the block was 15.1mm before any sanding. If anyone has a block out, it would be interesting to know what the measurements are. (from top to bottom, the side to side is not an issue).
also, I did not write it down, but as I recall, after sanding the raised area down, my measurement was 14.75 or thereabouts.

I was all set to buy an Impact MKII this month, but have decided to wait and see what improvements are going to be introduced when the new Impact MK3 version comes out next year. I don't have any insider info on the subject…I just know that if things go the way they normally do it is inevitable that FX will come out with a brand new Impact MK3…or maybe an MK3 High Power version? The IWA next March will tell us if my prediction is true or false.
I am personally hoping FX will come out with a version of the Impact that gives us the option of ordering it with the current carbon fiber bottle…or with a carbon fiber air tube that holds 480-500 cc like the FX Bobcat does now. And wouldn't it be nice if they came out with an air tube for the Impact MK3 that fills to 300 Bar like the Edgun to allow us to get more shots?
Anyway I think, that because of the problems people are having with the current line up of Impacts, and the fact that we know every year they come out with new versions of their guns, and the fact that the new year is fast approaching, that a whole lot of people like me are taking a "wait and see" stance before shelling out $2,050.00 for a new pellet gun. I know a lot of guys were lucky enough to get a problem-free Impact, but I am just afraid of being one of the unlucky ones that gets an Impact that has problems. I am hoping the new MK3 solves all the petty little issues like what C3 bumper or delrin washer needs to be used…I feel like for $2,050.00 that should be an issue for the manufacturer to deal with, not me.
I guess I am mostly afraid of getting an Impact that has problems, and getting stuck with shipping it back and forth for repair, like the author of this topic. But I have high hopes that FX is going to reveal a new Impact MK3 that solves all the issues next March at the IWA in Nurnburg, Germany.
All the best, Chuck

If it were me I would just box it all back up and call for a free return shipping label and send it back for a full refund, do to the fact that it is defective and therefore unusable, and then I would either wait until next year to see if the new version of the Impact is problem free or not, or else just spend my money on something else now.
One of the things that's causing me to "wait and see" if next years version of the FX Impact is problem free or not, is the Exchange/Refund policy being used by the dealers and retailers that sell the FX Impact. Here is an exact copy of the pertinent part of one company's policy…
"Exchange/refund policy
1) So, to return the item for a full refund it has to be in "new condition (unused)"…so that means if I even shoot a few pellets through it to see if it even works right or not, I lose the right to return it for a full refund of my $2,050.00 because it is no longer in new "unused" condition. Seems like a Catch-22 situation to me…
2) And, unless the item is defective the shipping charges are not refundable, and unless it is in new, unused, salable condition I am subject to a 20% restocking fee. That would amount to $410.00 + shipping charges I would lose on the deal. What is the seller's idea of "defective" differs from mine?
3) And, any attempt to disassemble the item to change its appearance or function, such as disassembling it to change the C3 bumper will void the warranty and I will lose my right to return the item for a full refund.
4) And, I am also required to get the seller's permission to even return the product, and if I return it without the seller's permission they may refuse to receive it and send it back to me.
I am just afraid of laying out $2050.00 on a new pellet gun that may have problems and then possibly being forced to take a $410.00 loss if I have to then return it. If I am going to lay out that much of my hard earned money on anything I want to know that I can return it for a full refund with no questions asked, and without having to pay a 20% restocking fee. I truly wish someplace like MidwayUSA or Bass Pro Shops were selling these FX Impacts, because they have a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. With this kind of return policy it would take all the worry out of getting my money back, or having to possibly sell it on the classifieds for hundreds less than I paid for it just to get rid of it.
