What does your FX Impact .30 barrel looks like?

Ernest say's it best!

If that is the case FX should not have offered this caliber and stopped at .25.

Got that right!

Got the .30 barrel early in april-16.
the tp hole is cut exactly as yours Jack. 

I got this barrel a couple of weeks ago from the last batch that AoA recieved. Still the same?

sharroff, Your Oring inner groove shoulder isn't cut like mine. 

the air pressure will force the Oring on the outer shoulder of the Oring groove to seal the blast, so the cut inner shoulder has no play in sealing the air blast---just an eye sore for me.

Ernest,

I have had a few adult beverages (Saturday night thing) so do me a favor and translate that into is the barrel they are making now better than the one you have or are they going backwards?

I am not very comfortable with this, and hope FX will chime in on this thread, Johan for instance..........

Yikes, looks like the groove was cut so close to the hole its compromised. I don't like that...

Jack.K,

Ok. I will put away the cell phone and get a camera to take better pictures.

I don't think there is that much difference in our barrels ports. With the o ring removed you can see I really don't have much material in that area either (.0025"). That is literally paper thin (I measured a piece of ink jet paper and it was .003") The difference between yours and mine might be within the set up of the machining equipment or the error tolerance of their equipment at FX. Or maybe they moved the bit .002" down the barrel in an updated CNC program. Only FX knows the answer to that.





Re your question on sending it back, if you are completely satisfied with the accuracy, I would hold on to it. If AoA decided to declare it defective and replace it like they did with my .25 and .30 barrels you may or may not get one as accurate as the one you have. If you aren't happy with the accuracy, I'd call AoA, and explain your have accuracy issues and what you think might be a badly cut barrel. You might get a new one like I did - and they 'accurized it' too. Not sure what that entails, but they both shoot into 1/2 without me tuning at 50 yards now.

Mine look like this and I have 880 fps average.

I should get my .30 kit this week and it should be as new as it can be. Will post if anything is changed, but despite it looking subpar there should be no performance issues. As Ernest said, it seals away from the hole.

Just got a new .30 cal barrel from my distributor here in Canada.
This transfer port is so thin beside the o ring.
Hope this one will last longer.

Just got mine last week.

They are very fragile.
We must pay attention when we remove the barrel from the Impact and put it back in place.
Just too much pressure whe you push it inside the breach block can brake the barrel transfer port so tiny.
I dont understand why they use brass instead of steel to manufacture this peice .
I dont know if it is possible to remove this brass peice and customized one made of steel.
