New Video from Ernest Row for your Impact MK1 and 2
- Thread starter GQ
- Start date
so, the impact design severely limits how much you can compress the hammer spring, and its required to modify a few parts to increase tolerance to allow more compression.
I don't know why the impacts have so little ability / range of compression from the factory...and those two parts look like they can be modified by hand tools, and it also looks like there are at least 2 other ways to skin this cat, but I won't bother discussing alternatives as I am not paid for such
52 mil hammer spring? Older is 57 mm...springs don't work based on length alone...that part of the video didn't help explain the requirements or needs for proper hammer weight + spring tuning... Tell me the nominal range of load the spring is under for peak power, is it 5-10 lbs? 10-15 lbs? 20-25 lbs? If this information was more known, it would be easier to consider alternative spring lengths and ratings to achieve a more ideal range suited for ones particular needs...as not all impacts power outputs are equal, neither should their hammer weight or spring setup be equal...

Thanks GQ and Ernest!
I don't know about "severely limits" My .25 and 30 cal will hit over a 1000 fps each without any mods or PP. I think this would be for slinging the heavier slugs if you wanted to.

I order yesterday these 2 parts for my mki impact x. A small problem is that in official Fx diagrams they don’t specify these two parts with any additional character . I mean both parts are mentioned as 19609 and 19602.Same code for first generation impacts with the latest pp impact mkii. So I have to give a description regarding the length(16mm) and for the second part regarding the 2mm slot.
I order them from Bagnall&Kirkwood in UK and I have been told that I need to wait around 2 months ( not available in their stock the latest type) .
