No problem Mike.
Anything we can do to make things easier we are willing to do.
Any other questions please feel free to ask!

Why do you companies Advertise things when they are not available and NOT IN STOCK... So many different companies including fx itself just bait you along. It's discusting and annoying. But the xxxxx will xxxxxx

Just out of curiousity, will you be making a system to fit the .35 cal impact barrel? Those look nice.
Also, was there any testing involved to find the optimized weight for the tungsten hammers? Reason I ask is, I did extensive testing with my gun and my factory hammer and valve springs. I found anything over a total assembly weight of 29.5 to 30.5 grams lost a little power. While it was better than factory, it wasn't perfect. Also, big heads on the hammer weight reduce adjustability/tunability of the gun, specifically on the micro dial.
With the upgraded hammer and valve springs, I am still working on figuring out the optimum sizes and dimensions. However, Huma claims theirs to have 10% more power. If that 10% equates across the board, then a 33 gram weight assembly would be close to peak. I doubt it is that simple though.
I do like the effort companies and people are taking to address these issues though.

The ideal hammer weight design would allow full compression of the hammer spring, while allowing up to number 5 on the micro dial. At the same time, it would be tested to know it is the most efficient weight range for the given hammer spring. Just throwing one in there that is beefier isn't always better.
For instance, when I did my testing I found a 30.5 gram hammer would open the valve up to 165 bar and the peak velocities showed that. Beyond 165 bar the velocities dropped.
When I tried a 33 gram hammer, it lost velocity and could only open the valve at 150 bar or so. This showed the hammer weight was actually less efficient at that point and a beefier spring was needed.

There are other ways to get the ideal hammer weight while maintaining full function of the gun.
Designing the hammer itself out of a denser metal, a slightly longer skirt on the hammer, a tungsten insert etc. This is where all the manufacturers, including FX are lacking. It bugs me personally, when you have a numbering system on the micro dial, but you can't use the entire range. It isn't that hard to do, it just takes a little time and effort to do it right the first time.

BC- when it’s all said and done, fully installed, what is the Outside Diameter of the shroud?
I have aftermarket add ons bolted on my current factory Impact MK2 28mm shroud so I need to know the outer diameter of your set up, to see if my mods will still work
Thanks

Measured a few of the prototypes and we are sitting at 27mm right now
We do have a handful of Tensioned Shrouds out to people who are using them right now to give us feedback..... so they are out there. The tungsten hammers we do have in stock right now so you don't have to wait.
Bigragu..... the inside diameter of your part is 28mm? If so then the shroud should fit nicely under it, and look quite good as well.

No Problem Bigragu!
Let us know if there is anything else you guys want to know. We are always willing to help everyone.

I am taking 1 and just 1 more thing to my FX Maverick, a .177 slug liner, and thats if, if thats not good enough for me, the Maverick will end its days as a glorified dust collector, or a gift to someone i care for.
I already have 2 hammer weights, though only brass, and both are almost too heavy to be of any use to me seeing as it is a .177 i have.

Out of curiousity,
Will a tensioner/shroud barrel design be made for the 800mm .357 at any point?

Another question I have besides if there will be a .357 version is;
Are there any vented barrel bushing in between the shroud and the barrel liner to join the two and stiffen up the shroud?

Yes I just measured up the thread dimensions that are needed for the tensioner and we are getting them made up now. The thread sizes are different on the .357 barrels and the threads for the shroud will be different as well to accommodate the larger Donny units.

Yes!
There is an air stripper built into the tension nut on the Tensioned Shroud unit, as well as the male 1/2x20 threads to accept your aftermarket shroud. If you buy just the Tensioner it will have male threads to accept any after market 1/2x20 shroud. The only bushing would be at the end of the shroud to close up the shroud tube.

On your website; what is the difference between the fx impact with clamp and fx m3 version?
Also. If I order a 800mm version, how do I know it is for a .357 or do I need to call for that?
