I filmed this BEFORE the Saber Rail & GRS Bipod combo was developed (and you will see details about those products in other people's videos) but I will say that they work GREAT with this setup. The top-mounted bipod creates a very stable platform.
And to answer some other questions I anticipate will pop up: YES, the tensioner will be available for other barrel lengths, YES the 800mm barrel will be available for other calibers up to .35 and YES I will be using this setup for RMAC PRS, shooting slugs;)
The fact that his innovation was recognized and then partnering at FX is brilliant! Matt, hats off for changing lives and to FX for not just stealing the concept as most large corporates do. This is a good story, can’t wait to purchase mine when they available 👌🏽
Matt, you are my airgun university! I learn so much from your channel. Keep at it, buddy!
Thanks for another excellent video, Matt. I got my first pellet gun in 1960 at age 12 and have been rather obsessed with airguns ever since, including their significance in history. Now I'm watching history in the making as you and other airgun enthusiasts and manufacturers move the art and industry forward. Very exciting. Jess
I haven't found any other airgun site or channel that presents information so well and gives so much time to the development and practical progress in airgun technology. Congratulations Matt and Hein, FX and Roelf on the slug development and testing aspects. There is no real need for another comment, but this is the second time I have watched this video because there is so much that I am learning from it.
Absolutely love the content Matt! Your content is the main reason I started getting into airguns and I love how you use them in real world hunts and situations but also have the educational side too, for someone like me who is brand new to the air gun world I really appreciate the explanations of how to do things and set things up, it really helps me understand everything and get a better idea on the ballistic and technical side of it too. Keep up the good work Matt!
Great video. I enjoy some of the technical aspects of your airgun systems. Explains how you are able to attain such incredible accuracy. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent story and how everything came together.
Good stuff
I’ve been thinking when something like this would come out for a long time will they be available for other FX models in time it’s incredible to watch fx just moving forward and progressing a lot has changed in the time i’ve been watching your channel probably 7 years now
Well done Matt. It is always a good day in "school" when you explain the advancements in our sport. I just recently purchased my first FX and am totally in love with it after just a couple of dozen shots. I got the Wildcat MKIII BT in .22. Eventually, I will have an impact and I look forward to building it with the latest improvements/add ons. Vote is out on the caliber right now but thinking .30 as I would like to compete in the bench rest at RMAC, etc. Thanks so much for all that you and people like do for us.
Incredible! I am so thankful for all you guys! So awesome to watch this innovation thru the years, I started in 2010 with a benjamin marauder been watching u ever since! I cant wait to get my hands on all the new gear, ive been looking forward to it for the past year, hope i can place an order soon!
I started off watching in my mind thinking what possibly new you could bring to the table, but it didn't take to long into the vid to hook me with the new invention. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Great job gentlemen!
Great video Matt , the Impact with all these new upgrades will be a excellent airgun and yes I'm looking forward to where things will go into the future with these airguns .
Great video Matt very well explained keep up the good work.
Awesome R+D work! Your an air gun rock star Matt. Who knew when I was 12 back in the 1970s and I bought my 1400 Crosman air guns would come so far.
A lot of work and again extra cost and another variable for tuning, just because of a weak, thin barrel. Just make a decent rigid barrel that keeps aim even if you bump it to something.
I agree...I understand the nature of the smooth twist rifling requires a thin wall, but the barrels should come sleeved and tensioned for the premium prices charged. This nickel and dime tactic is very frustrating.
Great air rifles but i think the greatest marketing con. You lash out two and a half grand for a rifle and straight away you have to spend lots more just to achieve what you bought the rifle for. Imagine if Blaser or CZ produced rifles that needed upgrades before you open the box they would be out of business.
@@nollaigbeag... you nailed it!
What a bunch or bullish/t.
@@fishing4happiness610 yep
Love the background story and info keep up the great videos
I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy for him, it is always great to work at job you love. I'm so happy for him.
Another awesome video Matt, keep up the great work 👍
You and Roelf are leading many things, I must say I bought and M3 in December took a while to get use to it and learn the rifle. Can’t wait for you guys to do a master class in Johannesburg.
What an awesome time to be an airgunner!! This is game changing.
I'm new to air guns, I'm an archery and powder gun guy for what seems like for ever. Got into air guns because our son wanted to help grandpa with his pest control problem (chipmunks and now ground hogs). I got him a .177 cal barrel break that we love to shoot, but need to get him and his sister a smaller youth size gun for them. I'm looking a a couple different guns for them and a couple for myself (for me in .22 to .30 cal) to do some small game hunting this year. This video was very interesting to me; with powder rifles I prefer longer barrels typically, that there is so much you can do to improve your setup! Great video and impressed how much collaboration went into this 800mm barrel! Very nice to see that people still share ideas if for nothing else as their love of the sport!
This is awesome thank all you guys for your hard work !!!!
MATT ALL I CAN SAY IS A BIG THANKYOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU ALL HAVE DONE FOR THIS GREAT HOBBY OF OURS. JOB TO SOME✌🏼🤩
I love that Hein is getting to do what he loves and that you helped him achieve his dream of working with air rifles for a living it’s a beautiful story
Fantastic Matt!!..... I love stuff like this and found this video HUGELY Entertaining and extremely Informative ,thank you sir!
Very informative, great presentation.
This is the longest commercial I've seen in years
Good thing nobody’s forcing you to watch it then
@Duke Smith Where would the assumption that I watched it all come from?
Nevertheless, the point is: The collabos with different manufacturers had a big positive impact on Matt and this channel in general, but in my mind, he stray far from what this channel used to be.
There was a time when this channel wasn't as much commercialy, but content-driven.
Sure, it's a subjective observation, and without any doubt, he deserves what this channel provides him with.
Yet, it's not for me anymore.
Great video and details keep up the great work
Waiting for FX to start using solenoids in their air guns like we've used in paintball for almost 20 years. Airflow, dwell time (how long the solenoid allows the valve to stay open) and volume are all controllable at the millisecond level.
Daystate use that system on some air rifles
i had solenoid activated triggers in my paintballing days. Always looking for new batteries for it. It added complexity while improving little.
Lots of great information I'm a big fan, maybe when I retire I'll be able to afford the FX Impact
Great video Matt.
Equipment from another planet; Amazing!!!!!!!
Big Hug Matt Dubber!
Awsome insight I think I’m go ahead order my impact in .30 I ve learned so much from this channel my maverick I point 25 is ok looking more power
You're the best Matt 👍
As usual with you ..the pcp rifles world seems wonderful and very technical
I love the series.
the barrel holder idea for mr.badr falah from saudi arabia
Awesome i love it that kind of barrel
Love you bro ♥️
Jidanha thought the engineer Badr Falah from Saudi Arabia👍👍
Fascinating!
The idea of installing the barrel in the iron piece was for a person called Abu Omar from Saudi Arabia. I would like you to mention his name, a person who worked hard until he found a solution to the problem. Thank you
I am SO confused, this is the third name I am hearing to have claimed to have invented this🤦🏻♂️ Sami, Abu, Badr, are there any other names you’d like to throw in the hat?
@@AirArmsHuntingSA all are for the same person since he has diff nicknames.
Nice work matt dubber, maybe theres a barrel for the 30cal 700mm slugger with the same set up as your 22cal with barrel tensioner kit..
You are just great at explaining things as I listen to you which is amazing considering your accent and my hearing. Thank you for your explaination because you speak my language even with the accent and I am from Oklahoma. I get a kick out of listening to Gerhard which I wouldn`t pronounce his name that way except my english teacher always said pronounce a person name the way they do and I always try to do that. That german accent gives me a little trouble.LOLS
perfect, greetings from Indonesia👍👍
Nice video brother👍👍👍 👍👍
matap...rancangan yang sangat bagus.... 👍👍👍
Yeah tensioned barrels are awesome if they are tensioned enough some projectiles become less speed sensitive. Especially slugs.
Felicitaciones. Terrible trabajo 👏👏👍👍💪💪👷♂️🇦🇷
That tensioner works like n dream love mine on my impact !!!!!
I've been following your channel, for fun and to learn. Lately your focus has been in slugs, nothing wrong with that. Maybe you have the time to share with us the same thinking on the same equipment and make it a dream rifle for .22 pellets?
To be honest, this equipment is wasted on pellets. You don’t need this much barrel length, OR power, OR rigidity for shooting pellets.
@@AirArmsHuntingSA Oh no, sure you are right. My point is, based on the same FX platform to go as far as this one but for pellets. To take to the same upper limit, or is it that pellets have reached their limit?
Great channel of yours.
@@toolbox-gua Pellets suck.
Thanks Matt
Most of all the review to a pcp talk about the specs of the gun, information that is provided by the manufacturer on there website or how accurate is the gun that is which you can verify by trying one, that is to own one. There is so few that explain about the HOW and WHY on the deff parts of the gun.. a designer's perspective is really very informative to watch..
Your videos are always so insightful. Was hoping to ask a pretty basic question: once you set up an M3 for heavy slugs, can you still use pellets and lighter slugs without making any further changes (other than just the tuning)?
I can’t wait
I like to watch your hunting videos specially when you used the fx impact and i really like the fx.the problem is so expensive specially her in my country Philippines. i cannot afford to buy one 😂😂😂😂
Hi Matt, great videos! Hey I have a FX Impact M3 with 800 mm barrel .35. Which I just got in Dec 2022. I have made a few mods to it, I added the saber Backbone rail and the GRS over bore bi-pod. I am only using pellets right now. "Exact .35, 81.02gr" with factory tuning. 870 fps/30.3 ft lbs. My question is do pellets need a tensioned barrel or should I add that when I go to slugs? Also from what I have been reading it seems like I should be doing a little better velocity and power.....
Excellent video Matt.Do you still need the carbon fiber barrel sleeve ?
If FX built this exact same setup I'd be in.
Do you use the single or dual port transferport with the power block? Greatly appreciate all of your videos very informative
The javelin 40 gr slugs fit the magazine of the impact, but then it is a hard squeeze to get the magazine inside the gun, and because of that, the magazine won't rotate anymore to take the next slug after first one being fired..
Just a few thousandths of play on the barrel can be inches or even feet off. I rested the whole weight of my mkii on its barrel and it caused it to shoot off by about 2 feet at 60 yards. Shot 2 feet high.
very good gun
Mantap bang👍👍👍
nice vid very good info , matt is fx goin to make a new mag cover too suit the 40gr slugs rather than 3d printed ones also ive just ordered this full power block kit and plenum for my mkii will this be ok on 700mm barrel
Hi matt, If I was to buy an fx impact/maveric from patriot would you be able to de-tune it to sub 12? I only ask because if I buy a rifle from fx or buy one in the UK they are essentially half a gun with no power plenum, no power wheel, no valve adjust basically no tuneablity at all....
Hi! Greetings from Finland. Thanks for your informative quality videos, seen just about all of them 🙂 I'd like to know where I could purchase that gorgeous red 'n' black grip that you have on this video? I also have an Impact M3 (.25 and .22) but the grip it comes with is slightly on the smaller side (I have big hands) and I'd also like to get something that would add a bit of colour as well. Cheers!
hey Matt hope you are doing well. when wil this be available for the rest of us?
Mantap broo,👍👍
Senapan yang sangat bagus👍
Amen to every word Matt !! Now just one question... where the hell can i order an 800mm barrel with tensioner, power block, tungsten hammer, regulator pin to allow higher regulator spressure. Thanks ! ;-)
Not for mortals,
This guy is just on a Trip himself, selling a channel with a bunch of videos on dreams to us 😂
@@eliteknowledge7298 I start to think you are right... i could not order any of these parts in Belgium or Holland so far...
Hein is a Geneus that the pcp industries need to learn from, & tap into his innovative mind set!
Lovely😊
A couple of folks have mentioned that simply making the barrel stiffer would obviate the need to go to the need for a barrel tensioner. Presumably it is because a stiffer barrel would have to be thicker and therefor heavier, or is it something else? Perhaps the nature of how the FX barrels are made prevents them from being thicker?
Please give us every details about M3 35 cal slug best silencers for 35cal power block
😊👌❤️🇬🇧Excellent ideas my friend 🇬🇧
I would have thought the liner is the one that needs to be put into some form of tension. Wouldnt it be better to incorporate thread on the liner at breech and crown end to tension the liner.
I'm shooting a W'cat3 bt. I have 500 & 700mm barrels and the tungsten weight. I can keep the same tune @150bar, for both. The 500 does not like slugs but I just use a lower power wheel and get sub moa at 75m for pellets. I put the 700 on and get sub moa @ 100m+ with 46gn slugs. not tested past this yet.
Preferred to see the shroud screw right onto action or chassis. That way the barrel will not flex and stability not an issue when bang or lean the barrel against tree. Other airgun manufacturers already doing that by screwing the barrel right to the chassis.
Hay matt you guys are killing it at fx... the innovation is crazy bro qell done... so the 800 barrel was designed originally around d the 25 caliber for the 40g sliugs?
Hi there great informative video thank you. do any of the fx rifles come standard with this option or do you have to have it installed? i would like to purchase it from factory installed if possible? thanks
This is the unit that hunters like us covet, woww.
What about the 25 and 30 cals like we have here in the USA? Are they going to get a tensioner system designed for them as well? 800 MM?
Matt dubber.. Am I getting this right?
From what I understand the power stuff is more for 600-800mm barrels? Where the more air doesn't really work with a 500mm barrel.... because you get more air time from adding a heavier hammer so the valve stays open longer so you can lower reg pressure and still get the air needed for +600mm barrels.?
My MK 2 with a 35cal valve housing, 500mm barrel, reg 140, line 4, V2 port, 10gn at 1095fps, 16gn at 965fps.
So I won't get much benefit from the power kit.?
Another wonderful FX product that is not available to the General Public. I am have been waiting for my 700 mm. Barrel tuning shroud since Sept 9 2021!!!
The whole point of this video is to tell you that this IS available to the general public😑
if only i can afford such guns. i really loved watching this but getting envy because i cant afford something like that.
Can you use this kit with the carbon fiber sleeve that is installed between the liner and the barrel because I have that already installed I want to know if that carbon fiber sleeve can stay in between the liner and the barrel while using the tensioner kit with the new tension nut that goes on the outside of the barrel that's being replaced?
Matt, I see that your accuracy is quite good but 1100 ft/sec is 0.98 speed of sound at sea level 1 atm.
Aren’t you getting transonic pressure waves along the slug causing dynamic instability-yaw and pitch instability?
Does FX have any Schlieren photos of these slugs at that velocity?
Accuracy is very good at that speed. I do prefer to keep it a bit slower, 1030-1080fps
I can only imagine what your slugs will do the avenger long in the avenger o’clock .21 6.215 have been my best goes so far curious to see what happens if you are slow in the event here for me to work on either one. Will be very interested to see how they perform just how accurate they are sir.
When will they come out with the 800 for 25 cal?
Hello my friend, I have a question regarding the difference in speed at different temperatures with the same regulation.
For example, my gun was firing at 270 ms (885 FPS) regulated at a temperature of about 32 Cº (90 F), I had it stopped for about 1 month and I went to shoot and the gun was only 255 MS (826 FPS) ), but the temperature was around 15ºc (59F), I even changed some orings thinking it was a leak but it wasn't the case.
Is all this variation normal? OR is something wrong?
Yes, cold air is denser and moves slower, you will also get less shots
congratulations for all you, there are no words to apologise ur job. your conquests dont have definition.
I feel like the FX M3 is going to be the AR15 and the 1911 of the airgun , all the manufacturers are going to copy this format ... I think eventually FX M3 receiver are going to be available in the market and other vital parts piece by piece made by different manufacturers, shooters, hunters, and hobbyist are going to start assembling their own custom FX M3 ,just like AR15.
Hello Matt! A few days ago I bought an 800mm, .22 STX Superior Heavy barrel from Krale and the TR is 1:18. Do you have any info on which 800 barrels are made with 1:14 TR?
does the barrel tensioning system work on the FX Maverick
After long time
Do the barrel come in kits with the valve for S&P on it as you did say, is the 800mm barrel just for a slug?
Are the barrel kits going to be in .177 .22 and so on or are they going to set to one difference cal.
Keren pakde..smangat jangan lupa bernafas 🙂🙂🙂
