I followed your instructions on installing the slug power kit on the M3. ( THANK YOU!) I opted to leave the origional spring in and left the ball out.
I am also not focused on hunting and prefer accuracy and shot count over excessive power and stressing the gun. However, the set up I have is more than powerful enough for nearly every hunting condition within ethical limitations of this calibre.
Current velocity using H&N 30grain .218 slugs is between 978 and 985fps.
This gives about 65fpe.
Shot count 70+
My set up is as follows.
M3 sniper version .22 cal. Standard 700mm liner.
1st reg 170bar
2nd reg 135 bar
Macro wheel 13
Micro adjuster just over 4
Valve adjuster 4.5 lines
Down to second reg. I re fill at around 140bar.
Thank you for the video. I always appreciate the no nonsense approach you take when teaching us. I for one have learned a lot from your videos, and I love the M3 series. keep up the good work! and Thank you
Thx for the nice comment, really appreciate it 👍🏻
@@Airbuks cho tao cây mày
Another great video no clowning around no stupid games just real information that I like to learn I got impact m3 and want to start shooting slugs so keep all the videos coming great job thank you from Indiana USA
Thanks for your support 👊
Great video very easy to understand very informative keep these coming love the M3 platform
Look forward to your group testing..
Thanks…have transitioned from a springer to an M3…lots to learn and I appreciate your efforts to guide us.
Thx mate 👍🏻 enjoy the M3
Hi Airbuks, good video!!!... thanks for sharing your procedure. I manage to quiet down my MK II PP 720, by using some parts of the slug power kit, slug pin probe, and the front spring, removing the ball and washers. Regulator 155 bar, the front valve on the 4th line, power wheel, on 5 (Impact MKII), speed 977 fps using Zan 33 grains ammo.
Love your videos!!, Keep up the good work!
Cheers

Your message about removing the ball saved my sanity! I had the gun disassembled and assembeld three times. Second Reg pressure up to 165 bar, first reg pressure 185 and still with the wheel at 16 it was shooting less then 800 FPS with a .22 and 30 gr slug. Couldn't figure out what was going on. Now it seems very obvious but having followed all the different videos about tuning I was getting very annoyed!! (The first shot after removing the ball registerd 1004 FPS.)
@@klandertje happy to help!!!

Excellent tutorial as usual thank you so much. You are correct in your assumption that slugs outshoot pellets at longer ranges. I have excellent results with H&N slugs. Sub MOA at 100m is my benchmark. My best 5 shot group at 150m is 18mm!
I'm happy to share the tune on my M3 if anyone is interested.
Nice mate , I would like to know your turn 🤔
I need your help please.
I live in Cape Town and have Belgian neighbors that spend your winter months here ( like Swallows) They are happy to bring me stuff for my FX from Europe.
Question : Can you suggest an online store in Belgium or shop close by, where they can source spares, service kits etc for my FX.
I thank you again for your excellent videos.
@@mariocesare7669 hi , there is actually only one good place and easy place . It’s Krale Schietsport in the Netherlands.
They have a very big webshop and they can order just about everything you need .
But if you live in Cape Town can’t you get the FX stuff true Patriot outdoors ?
Patriot is indeed just around the corner from me. Super set- up! However, they often only have a limited range of items in stock for FX.
Thank you very much for the prompt response and Krale referral.
I want to try 22 grain FX hybrid slugs in my M3 .22 with 600mm barrel. Can you provide a tune for that ? I’d like to fly around 950-1000 FPS Thanks.
Great as always. Your videos are really the best videos.
Thx 🙏🏻
Cheers brother fox. Mighty helpful.
Wow...beautiful
Muito bom este vídeo como era de esperar! Vou experimentar os mesmos settings na minha Impact M3 Bronze Sniper! 💪🇵🇹 Very nice vídeo my friend! Very good settings! I try this im my Impact M3 Sniper! Best regards from Portugal 🙏💪🇵🇹😉
Thx mate 👍🏻
I dont have a chrono right now so I just went off this and applied to my m3 .25 and my hybrid slugs .25 are shooting sub moa ar 25 yards. I will tighten it up more when I get a chrono thank you!
You’re welcome mate , get a chronograph it’s a vital piece of gear !
The settings in my video work wel for me , it gives you a good starting point but every gun likes slightly different settings to perform wel
Good video, it was interesting to note the difference in the sound between the different settings. The loudest reports were not necessarily from the fastest velocities.
Indeed , it all has to do with the correct balance at a certain setting.
But in this video sound is difficult to judge as it’s filled in my basement and it amplifies the sound
❤❤❤❤❤សួរស្តីបង
Awesome! I love what you are putting out, very informative.
Thx for the support!
Thanks!
Nice nice 😀
Awesome video I have my m3 22 700mm shooting zan slugs 33 gr at 1005 to 1010 fps first reg is 195 200 bar sec reg is at 165 bar pw is on 3 fine adjustment is on 3. 1/2 lines oh yeah that rubber ball i took it out of both of my fx mk2 and m3 to me it was causing inconsistent on fps
Thx for the comment 👍🏻 other people commented aswel that the rubber ball isn’t needed , love to get feedback and improve my setup thx to it 🙏🏻
👍😊
Excellent videos, good I have informative💪🏼 Suggestion: I remove the rubber ball from the flow valve when installing the power kit and in your same setting I stay at 1020 fps with h & n slug of 30 grein. that allows you not to open the valve so much since the 3m has two rubber balls to hit the c1. it's just my experience friend. greetings from Chile ...
Thx for the tip mate , I will try that straight away , I installed it as it came with the kit 👍🏻
Yeah, the rubber ball is not needed and I found the factory spring to be a better fit with the valve effect changes made to the M3. I currently run mine with the front reg wide open and it is more consistent with fps spread.
@@Huben3DParts thx for the info 👍🏻
@@Airbuks Super! So well install the huma sv2 transfer port and take out the extra hammer weight, it was just wasting more air. Your videos are appreciated💪🏼 a hug🤝🤝
👍👍👍
Parabéns pelo trabalho poderia colocar tradução para português pessoalmente só posso desejar muito sucesso pois está é um sonho meu sonhar não é pecado
I called the airgun store a couple days ago where I purchased my M3 in .25 caliber and asked about the slug power kit and was told the M3 didn't need it and that it was just for the M2. However, I keep seeing videos and forums where it is being used on the M3. I'm pretty sure I saw a video of Ernest Rowe adding it to an M3... I think in that video and other posts that the M3 didn't need to rubber ball and possibly not the lighter spring. If that is the case then maybe all one needs are the two spacers for more power on the M3? Maybe the slug probe adds more consistent slug seating but I can't see how the power would be affected much unless seating depth is important? It would be nice to get a consensus on whether or not the slug kit is needed and how much of a benefit one gets from the kit. Thoughts?
Can you comment on how the gun performed prior to the slug kit vs after using the same ammo/slugs?
I have heard the same thing from some other people 🤔 some people also reported that there is already 1 spacer installed from the factory. Not sure if there has been a update on the M3 installing this from the factory already now compared to mine that is one of the first M3 to be made . If that is the case on yours then I guess the only thing you need is a slug probe 🤔
I guess I need to take my gun apart and see what spacers if any I have…
@@benjaminfarr2586 I installed the slug probe and hammer weight on mine last night it didn’t have hammer weights. I got mine less than a month ago from Utah Airguns. I asked fx about the slugs power kit and was told not to install the rubber ball and spring from the power kit.. with the probe and the hammer weight was fine they said..
@@airgunsgt4108 Thanks for letting me know!
Very good video, like all the ones you do. Although I have a question, having the MK2 PP version is it worth switching to the M3? I have seen many videos of the M3, and the fps differences between shots are very similar to the Mk2, the power adjustment of the M3 is true that it is somewhat less cumbersome, but the same result can be achieved in terms of speed, the double regulator for my is not something that I would miss, I use the huma gen3 in my mk2 and it works very well. The liners are the same, the final power is the same, I don't think anyone wants to shoot pellets at more than 880 fps or slugs at more than 1000 since the transonic zone is very unstable. What does seem like a success to me are the tolerances of the barrel and the magazine are smaller and that is something positive, but enough to change the platform? I do not think so. It is true that if I did not have the mk2 I would buy the M3. For me, spending money is not justifiable. Keith Gibson won the RMAC with the Impact mk2 already having the M3 in his hands for months. 🤷 Sorry but it's my perception of things, your videos are very honest but some youtubers talk about how much better is the M3 in comparison with the mk2 and this things is what i was talking about not honest reviews. Thanks
Sorry for my English im from Spain.
Hi , indeed I feel the same as you . Some people are really disappointed about the fact they just bought a MKII before the M3 came out , I understand if they have spend the money and could have the M3 instead .
Yes the M3 has some advantages over the MKII like the tolerances/ quick tune system/ 720 plenum and some other minor things .
But I do strongly feel that the MKII can still hold his place against the M3 as Keith has proven at RMAC .
If your MKII is tuned correctly you can easily get the same performance out of it 👍🏻
I do hold on to my MKiI as it is still a awesome gun , I am planning a few videos to update it as much a possible with the M3 parts .
@@Airbuks I bought my Mk2 just after the pandemic, in my case the M3 came out a year later if I'm not mistaken. The only part that I would like to update is the ambidextrous block of the M3, as I really like its design and it seems more ergonomic to cook. The Fx distributor in Spain has confirmed that it is compatible with the MK2 version, the 72 plenum does not interest me since apart from the power plenum I have installed an external 68cc plenum, slug power kit, dual transfer port huma, upper heavy liner , and some internals of the .35 version. The huma regulator is also doing a great job since I bought it over a year ago.
@@tomlpnexus to be honest I am not 100% sure but I think the block isn’t compatible with the mkii 🤔 , saber tactical has a aftermarket one specially for the mkii that does the same thing . I have a video about that aswel
@@tomlpnexus hey , I just went to ask and I got confirmation that the M3 cocking block will fit the MKII 👍🏻
@@tomlpnexus hey , I just went to ask and I got confirmation that the M3 cocking block will fit the MKII 👍🏻
the manual says dont exceed the 170 bar on regulator 1, when i sat my reg1 to 175-185 the reg fills up to 200bar if i leave it over night, maybe exceeding the 200 mark as well as i am limited to read only 200.
🤔 the first reg can go to 200 bar without issue. But there shouldn’t be any creep .
I have my 1st reg set to 185-190 bar and have no problems creeping.
The only time I have creep is when I come from outside to inside and change temperature. The air between the regulators heats up expands slightly pushing back on the first reg opening slightly until the pressure equals, 1or 2 shots usually fixes that .
A fix to your problem if it’s different then mine could be a quick rebuild of your 1st regulator
I admit that I know very little about high powered air rifles and what they are capable of doing,as I watch this video I have no idea what is going on here and what the point is in all these adjustments that seem to never get to where you want it to be.
All these adjustments on the gun seem to just be too many options that really seem to be unnecessary and complacated just to get at hitting a target and be accurate at doing so...but maybe im missing the whole point here,in doing all this is just fun and make you feel( lack of a better word) Smart? 🤔
I got interested in doing research of these new air guns with the power of actually using them to hunt medium and larger game without the big Bang that lets everyone know in a one mile radius that you are there....But after watching this video,I think I will just stick to my rifles and handguns,the ammo that they shoot do have several differences for types of game which do include grain amounts and distances but seem to be a lot simpler than All these issues with air power adjustments,guages,pellets vs slugs and their grains,and then all the parts to make these air guns work...A whole different world here...wish I was a lot younger,then maybe it would be worth getting to know both worlds...👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Thinking about switching my M3 from pellets to slugs. Do you notice more fouling in the barrel from shooting slugs then pellets? Do you have clean the barrel more often? How many shots before cleaning?
Nope , I barely clean my barrels. I do clean them when the gun is new from the factory and maybe if the accuracy starts to drop I do a quick dry pull true and that’s about it
Hi! Just bought a M3 .35 cal what reg pressure do u recommend on Reg 1 and Reg 2?
Maybe a stupid question, if i tune at high regulator presure, i get less shots.
If i would turn the powerwheel down from 16 to 1, do i get more shots per fill?
Yes correct
Hey bud. I noticed on the video you were having trouble getting a low SD. I’m having exactly same thing. Looks good then start getting random high numbers. What’s your suggestion to fix this. Turning Valve knob slightly or micro wheel.
Yes it’s pretty hard to get it low , I don’t know if you have seen my harmonic tuner video on the private range ?
Between this video and that one I spend a lot of time getting it better and I managed to get it much better .
How I have done this is with opening the valve to number 5 then looking for the regulator pressure I needed and balance between the hs tension to get the velocity I wanted . Then I slowly turned in the valve until I sa the velocity drop . Added another 1/8 turn inward on the valve know and raised the regulator 2-3 bar . I tend to get a better es with pellets then with slugs but I think that’s due to the sealing of the skirts inside the barrel
Thanks a lot I appreciate your help. M3 is tougher to tune than MK2 for me. Still figuring it out. The barrel tuner looks like the way to go I’m thinking.
Hola
vídeo muy interesante
Pero sigue sin poder leerse los subtítulos en español
The FX mk3 gun that I am purchasing comes with a 25 caliber FX Smooth Twist X Superior (STX) barrel. I was told that I can shoot shoot 25 caliber slugs with this Barrel or do I have to go to the heavy liner? I was also told I need to pick up the Slug Power Kit w/Tungsten Hammer. Is this correct?
Net de slugkit geïnstalleerd op mijn m3 .22 sniper. Blijkbaar heb ik enkel de slug pin nodig. Want met de valve spring en rubber bal is mijn snelheid niet consistent en ik heb eigenlijk minder power😂. Een h&n 23 grain en mijn m3 is op max settings om 980 fps the halen. Ik denk dat ik de spring en bal er terug uit haal maar de tungsten hamer voorlopig laat zitten en opnieuw tunen. Een heel blik verschoten om erachter te komen dat het voor geen meter werkt 😅
Om 23 Gr slugjes te schieten is de slug power kit een beetje over kill zeker met de tungsten hamer . Met een 700mm en 23gr moet je makkelijk 980fps kunnen halen factory standard
Ja ik denk het ook dat 23gr slugs perfect te schieten zijn met een standaard M3. Ik ben nieuw in de slug wereld en wou met lichte slugs starten om ook in mijn achtertuin te proberen tot 160 meter. Ik heb toch al wat opgestoken van je video's. 😊👍
@@iiimilleriii275 top ! Altijd fijn om te horen dat de video’s mensen helpen . Ik schiet liefst in .22 de 34gr tegen 1005fps 👌 zeer accuraat op lange afstand
Hi mate hope all going great your end ,
I want to get shooting slugs 34 g ones at the moment 1st reg is at 180 2nd reg is at 150 ; macro is at 10 micro just over 4 on quick tune, valve is maxed out I am shooting jsb king heavies with that tune 34g very accurate at 90 yards FPS are 840 53FTLB is that right for the JSB heavies would you say?? Also got a power kit put in ?? But looking to use 34 g slugs now any suggestions thanks mate ..
What barrel length are you using ? With those settings you should get faster fps 🤔 With that tune 840fps can be accurate with pellets, although I like to shoot them around 880fps .
To shoot slugs you need some more velocity in my opinion 🤔
@@Airbuks Hi mate 700mm barrel. 25
What tune would you suggest to try ??
For jsb king heavies 34 gr, and 34 gr slugs ?? Thanks for your help ..
By chance could you do a .177 tuned fx m3 shooting 20 grain slugs 🙏
🤔 not for the moment sorry
@@Airbuks ok np
I have a question, they say that the pressure of the capsule should not be lower than the pressure of the regulator, so how in the video is the pressure of the first regulator set to 185 bar, but the pressure of the capsule is lower about 160 bar, does this not cause the first regulator to fail?
Hi , what they main is that you can shoot below the pressure off the second regulator. The first regulator doesn’t matter .
To explain a little bit :
The first regulator in the bottle adaptor is to prereduce the pressure of the bottle and prepare it for the second regulator.
The second regulator is setup to shoot , so the gun is tuned to be balanced to the pressure of the second regulator so if you keep shooting when the bottle pressure comes lower then the second regulator you are overpowering the valve and could damage it . Hope this makes sense
thank you you are the best
Bye 😂 Don't miss the next episode because neither will us.
please let me know how to set 953 fps on jsb 13.43grain pallets. 177 cal on fx m3 600mm barral.... please reply brother waiting your correct answers 🤔

@@Airbuks thanks for reply.
Hi mate when you adjust the hammer spring I noticed you don’t pull the bolt back first does this matter if you don’t as I thought any adjustments it had to be uncocked .
Thank you ..
Indeed any hammerspring adjustment must be made with the impact uncocked to prevent damage. Don’t get this the wrong way but I am not sure out off your explanation what you understand what’s uncocked .
If I would pull the bold back I would be cocking the impact 🤔

Didnt u observed hammer spring ovepower?
What exactly do you mean , after installing you need to retune the hammerspring offcours
@@Airbuks if I will use your approach to tune my gun(sniper M3) then I will have horrible incositency no matter what I will do. For my gun, if I need to shoot knockout 25.4gr. 300m/s(980fps), then open Valve MAX(6mm valve seat on mac/mic 1/1, FX slug kit with polish hammer/spring/rod, superior heavy barrel, carbon sleeve,harmonic tuner), set macro/micro to 8/3 an increase reg only. then I achieve avg:300m/s,spread:4,STD:0.8(21shots), if you touch PW then PW 10 if ne, 12 increase DEV and 14 and move is crazy(STD/Spread). I dont know on what BAR I m on 2nd reg because gauge broken but if you change only a spring tension then is it a spring over power(or behind progression)? I dont know...

@@saviofalcao670 I haven’t tuned mine to that as of yet but you could try 170bar on the second reg, valve at line 4+ ( 5 ) , macro on 16 and micro on 4 just be aware that 170bar is about the max capacity of the regulator
@@Airbuks thanks
Hi mate.i have finally tuned mine to shoot 900fps as I'm scared to set the reg above 170bar ....it shoots great ..only question is there is a set screw near the trigger just before the second reg adjustment screw which is obstructing to put the Allen key in regulator screw. I think i just stripped the regulator brass screw because of that
Its a 2.1k euro airgun why does it need a kit to shoot slugs? I want to get the 30cal will i need to install a slug powerkit to shoot slugs?
I have a weird question...I just installed the slug power kit on my M3. When I put the bottles back on,it leaks air from where the micro adjuster is located....leaks bad.

please help me im exhausted because of my impact m3, i have impact m3 sniper edition, and H&N slug 25, cal 34 grains, please tell me how to tune it because im getting sick, for more than a year almost im going back and forth to the dealer here but they don't even have a practice range to check the airguns and the guy working there to be honest doesn't have any idea about how to set the accuracy for the m3 ( im looking for maximum power & accuracy), remember i have the H&N 25 cal slug with 34 grains
That is very difficult to explain mate in a message 😬
There are a few things to take in consideration, first is that the 25 cal is the most difficult one to tune for slugs . Why I don’t know 🤷♂️
Second it all depends on what parts you have in your setup?
