So I bought this in .22 Cal and enjoyed shooting it, alot. Now with things warming up here and having a little more time to shoot, I now have a real question for people here. I found that it has 2 leaks and am needing o rings replaced. No issues sending it to someone to get it working. Talked to a guy and he sounded like he wasn't interested in fixing it..no big deal. I also would like to upgrade to slugs. Now do I fix it and sell it, or try to find a 1 stop shop to get it running and set it up for slugs? Or what is my best option? I'm not going to say money is no object, but if I didn't have this impact now. I would have bought a new mk2 impact and been done with it. And if I fix mine up, can it run like a mk2, or will it not handle the upgrades? I really appreciate your guys input here because I read about alot about the new stuff on here, and frankly, I'm having a hard time keeping up. Lol

What to do Gen 1 impact

I'd say keep it and fix it. The Gen1 Impact platform can produce as much power as the MK2 with power plenum. Upgrade ur valve seat to a bigger bore, c3 delrin bumper, 6-7gram hammer, and an external plenum from eBay. Theres no need for a MK2

Ok, got any sources for o rings? I watched a lengthy video on replacing them, I just wish there was a "kit". If try it myself

Alright! Now I'm on to something. I will admit, once .22 ammo became cheap, I sort of forgot about my impact. But after watching videos from Air Hunters, I became super interested in the heightened performance lately.

Go to FX airguns.com under support find the schematics for gen1 impact and it should have all the orings listed. Order from oringsandmore, watch FX masterclass to disassemble/reassemble the rifle and you’ll learn how it works/fix issues urself. It’s pretty simple since there’s videos on YouTube and requires basic tools. No need to send in for repair or have to worry about it anymore once you disassemble it a few times (you’ll figure it out). There’s ton of people here that will help if needed. As for 22 (slugs) NSA has the best pricing and they shoot extremely well once you figure out which one you barrel likes.

My 2nd Gen impact smooth twist 30 cal is shooting the 50 grain jsb at 920 fps with a 600mm barrel reg set at 147. You can get the o-rings from the o-ring store and have a lifetime supply for like 30 bucks.
