Impact , maverick 30's clarity

[Keyman62421]

When one purchases a 30 cal Impact, Maverick, Wildcat, are the "internals " the same as the 22/25 cal guns? I would assume there are hammer and valving changes.

Thus, if one were to purchase a gun with the plan to switch between 30 & 22 you would want to buy a 30 and go down not the other way.

What exactly are the differences?

Just wanting some experienced knowledge. Thanks.

i can’t say for sure about the valving but my maverick sniper in 22 has been changed from 22-25-30 cals and appears to generate the the factory listed velocities with just the probe change and a change to a 25 cal hammer for all calibers

My Maverick Compact in .30 came with a heavy hammer weight. Fortunately the heavier weight was achieved by a washer looking weight on the hammer weight. When I change to 600mm barrel in .22, I make two changes: (1) Remove one washer from the final regulator; (2) Remove the extra weight from the hammer weight. You can of course buy different weights for your hammer from FX USA directly. Impact also has different hammer weights.

I believe mine is the 25-cal weight. It actually works fine for .22 without removing the extra weight. I just wanted to be move precise.

Hi

Personally I would buy the one with the highest caliber, it is easier to lower power than to raise it.

The video above is right about the Maverick. I have the Sniper in 22 and 25 and the factory hammer weights are not the same. I had FX send me a .25cal hammer weight for the 22cal since it cannot come close to the 71 foot pound max with the standard 22 hammer weight. The 30cal hammer weight is too much in my opinion unless you want to have your 22 or 25 maxed out all the time. You can still hit 66 foot pounds in the 22 cal using the 25cal hammer weight. You can hit 77 foot pounds in the 25cal without using the 30cal hammer weight, maybe even more, but that is as far as I have went.

The hammer weight and some other internal factors (Huma tuning spring, dual vs single transfer port, pin probe vs pellet probe) made the Maverick the hardest gun i ever tried to tune. I gave up and sent it to Ken Hicks at SPAW to tune it (.30) for the 49.5gr NSA slug.
