Adjusting the FX Impact

I'm not exactly sure how all the fine adjustments work, but I am certain of one thing with my impact. 25 shooting 25.4 kings @870 fps, I'll shoot a man's finger tip off at 50yrds. My gun doesn't like loading the MK1 pellets. But the MK2'S spitting in the low 850 fps range are also tack driver's @ 50yrds. I messed around with the adjustments to try and keep my speed and shot count high. I'm no longer worried about a high shot count, just repeatable accuracy. My speed numbers were different than what was posted on this forum. They were on average 20 fps faster on all the settings. Although if I was only going to shoot 50 yrds or less I would go back to 770 fps for the 25.4 kings. I had pin point accuracy at this speed and I'm sure it would still create enough power to humanely anything legal in my state.
 
good to hear that there are at least a few impacts out there that are working well, but it looks like a good business opportunity is shaping up for some gunsmith or machinist who is willing and able to fix all the problems on these. I too am hoping that FX is reading the forums; Mr Axelson, I would rather wait longer for delivery of my impact than get one sooner that needs fixing.
 
Roger that! I'm working on a pellet probe right now, about 90% now, but I have to go visit a buddy's shop tomorrow to try to get the right size cutter. in addition to setting too deep in the barrel and the transfer ports not lining up, the main body diameter of the pellet probe is a few thousandths smaller than the carrier bore it sets in. 2 1/2 - 3 thousandths may not sound like much, but in this application when you tighten the set screw it pushes the probe off center and leaves a rub mark in the brass chamber on the end of the barrel.

There is some opportunity for a smith here, or even better for the factory to step in and take ownership. with the barrel and pellet probe out, I can look through the gun and see with a naked eye that all of the bores are not in alignment, and what I see also shows up as a rub mark on the barrel. This thing should be assembled with a precision ground arbor, holding all of the components in perfect alignment until they are tightened. Or, line bored after assembly.
