Most recent FX Impacts, updated? Improved?

I received my FX impact on the 4th. It took 9 weeks.
i can tell you the fill port on mine has not been changed. They did supply a plastic thing to aid in the fill process. When following the directions Installing the plastic piece it broke. I was doing this in my garage. I guess it may have been too cold for the plastic.(poopty design)
the case is not larger and my FX didn't come with the telescopic barrel. 
On a side note. I ordered a carbon fiber tank setup from airtanksforsale.com. Spoke to the owner. He was great! My question is how do you connect from the charging piece sent from FX? It's a threaded end. And the end sent from airtankforsale has a quick disconnect. 

I purchased an adapter for $10 that converts the bspp thread to foster before I left the airgun shop when I bought my Impact.
There are numerous adapters available online or at a air gun shop.

That is unfortunate that you received your gun with the plastic extension adapter. I was told FX used those for a period of time, but they were problematic, and have switched to the metal version I received with my
Impact.
Using the Foster connection (quick disconnect coupler) is the way to go,
In my opinion.

What I ended up with is a foster x foster extension of around 1.5" that
allows easier connection of fill hose.

I may at some point have my stock inlet area killed out for clearance.

I have a few hundred rounds through my impact so far no problems other than the regulator pressure gauge is off

I hope FX needs to suck it up and come out with a Impact II and maybe a impact III
I know it will take a impact (no pun) on the first guns sold, But that's just improvement of the breed.
I think that just needs to be done , FX needs to keep improving on there gun and making better and better guns,

They will improve on qc and overall quality of the gun without changing the model name.

I can however attest 100% that the gun comes with the fill port enlarged and a fill port dust cover. It also comes with the larger case.

UK dealer dared to point out the issues in Impact and has stopped selling till the issues are resolved. I think Impact in sub 12 is quite problematic.

One thing I noticed is the case is bigger and seems the be the same brand case Daystate use for the pulsar. 

My local shop yesterday announced they where no longer going to supply impacts for they have had 90% returns on all sold an have finally lost patience.

Was thinking of getting an FX till I heard of all the issues. I mean they don't have the extra expense of a walnut stock so can put more into the shooting parts of the gun.
I'm hearing jams, screws falling out, gauges that are not accurate, leaks etc. They are $1800.00 guns not a 500.00 Marauder.

They need to get all these issues worked out before I will buy one.

After market fix for filler access. 
FX Impact Easy Access Trigger Guard Black (Short)
Need a review to really see if it's better or not. 
Longer version for bipod a good idea. 

FWIW, I just received my .22 Impact from AOA, and it's as close to perfect as I could ever hope for. The biggest issue is the shaky old man behind the trigger

I haven't kept up with all the improvements people have reported, or speculated. AOA did tell me a bunch of things that had been issues when I spoke with them on the phone, but most of those would not be obvious, so my recommendation would be to ask them if you have a specific question. 

The fill port is definitely different from the reviews I saw. They beveled the front and rear of the opening to let you get your thumb and finger on the adapter. Also the port extends from the surface about 1/8" and has a magnetic cap. It's quite possible the port extension and cap is something AOA does, and not directly from FX though. 

The only other thing I noted was that the pellet probe set screw appears to be the same size. I didn't remove it, but it takes a 1.5mm key, and the outside diameter is 3mm best I can measure. The issue on these was a bad batch of screws as I recall, so hopefully the installed screw is the correct material.

The reason we have so much seal issues with FX is because seals are recycled material... Intel came from a reputable MFG. So I am getting quotes as we speak for HNBR 70 Non recycled material and NBR 80 Non recycled material and I will give each one a shot at Valve tube and regulator.

Regarding to the spare air cylinder for FX Impact, y'all should be able to fill your cylinder while on the gun and then unscrew it off, then screw on a new cylinder and fill it up and leave it in the gun or take it off as you wish. You will always have a spare cylinder in the field. 

Apparently the impacts made from May/april 2017 have a regulator with a slightly longer shaft like the one featured in the FX Crown. Should make it a little more reliably. Should be available as an upgrade for others at dealers from august/september.

There was also a change made to the belleville washers. From 8x0.4mm and 3x0.3mm to 15x0.4mm. Should make a more uniform regulation, but if you have no problems with deviation, this should not be a necessary upgrade.
