M4 presented as a sensational improvement in Airgun Evolution on every YT chanel but: New Top Rail: M3 Rail sideways move, M4 now not really fixed against back and forth move New Slots: How often do you change Pin Probe and Trigger Setup? New Grip: This grip also fits only one type of hands New Reg: Huma Air sells a high quality brass 2nd Reg for 2 years or longer 750 Plenum: No need for it, probably only for .35 Cal
I've had a sliding Picatinny rail for 3yrs. The AMP GEN2 is not an upgrade on the M4, as it was installed on later M3s & then you could get them for the other rifles for the last 12months. The M4 is a MK2 with a sliding rail, new trigger & grip. But it still won't be anymore accurate than any other Impact as it still has the liner system

Hello my friend. How are you? My name is Joselito, I'm Brazilian and a subscriber to your channel. I need your help to clarify a question. I have an FX IMPACT M3 in .22 caliber and I recently bought a Liner Heavy and received it in the 1.18 version in the 700mm size. I haven't seen any information about it or about the difference between the 1.18 and the 1.16 on any website or forum. I noticed that the shock of the 1/18 is much greater than that of the 1/16, because the velocity decreases a lot with the 1/18. Could you explain to me what the technical difference is between the Liner 1/18 and the 1/16? Thank you
the sliding pic rail is a silly gimmick. just give me a full pic rail so I dont have to worry about POI shifts when swapping optics that need very different eye relief. The M4 disappointed me, i was planning to buy it but this is not what I was hoping to see.
There is a very interesting information/testing at the middle of the video. This is extremely useful and you could make an entire video about it. That's food for thoughts for the people who likes to learn. Keep that content up and coming 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I like the adjustable rail system that’s a big plus and probably the updated magazine but why didn’t they manufactured it in metal wonder if they include extra magazine. How about reliability and customer service does FX pay for shipping while it’s under warranty that’s the big question with new buyers. Great review thank you
Customer usually pays for shipping to the company then depending on what the issue is it’s shipped back free. The ultimate goal is to not need to send it back ever with the amount of videos at one’s finger tips doing maintenance or repairs is an option
The impact platform is like the Iphone, the company keeps refining them from previous versions. I have had many brands of airguns over the last 52 years and there are some great manufacturers producing some outstanding airguns, but i just cant understand why some people have to trash FX, i have 2 impacts and a crown and they are phenomenal! I plan on purchasing my third impact MK 4 soon and look forward to many hours of enjoyment with it. I'm not a fanboy of any company and still purchase other brands of airguns but If you prefer another brand...great, but stop trolling the videos on FX guns!
Great review, the best on youtube! do you know if the new magazines will work on the Impact 2? thanks for the info, i may buy my third impact, just cant decide on whether 700 or 800 mm on .30.
Can this be easily used by a left handed person? There are no air rifle shops in this state(SC), and the magazine seems a bit big on the right side. TIA.
@@steveyountz9184 The cocking handle is ambidextrous. Fredrik Axelson the inventor of the Impact and founder of FX is left handed. With that said, the magazine location is not ideal.
Chris, Excellent video, but I need one clarification. Shortly after the point where you say you jumped down the slug rabbit hole, you then say "But, there's nothing better than a perfectly tuned ……." and I'm not sure whether you are still referring to slugs or if you have switched to pellets for that particular application. Please clarify. Thank You.
@@rauljrstuchlik2671 Yup! I’ve tested them and they are awesome! The price point though is crazy. I get it though with the cost of a CNC process. The cool thing about working with Corbin is that I have my own press from them and can tweak designs and hitting crazy high BC.
Hey Chris, what do you think works better for slugs in the 30 cal Impact M3, the Fx slug liner 1:18 twist or the Fx liner 1:40? I’ve been hearing talk about the 1:40 twist liner saying it’s good for zan 56gr pellets, how is it for slugs?
I use the pellet liner for Zan 59gr at 920 or 950fps & it stacks at 110yds easily. The Heavy liner prefers the Hybrids 44.5gr 1004fps, again, stacks at 110yds. You can only but test as it doesn't follow heavy for heavy or light for standard, tolerances are too great between liners
A lot of these changes - yes. The brass piston in the regulator would be the first and easiest one I would do. I am not sure about the trigger mechanism, but I will find out.
@@UpNorthAirGunner the brass piston is already in the later M3s & it's been available for about 12months, i put one in a MK1 crown last year & i have had spare regs for same, just never used them
@@waynelinsenbach153 The King (and all other FX Dynamic variants) have a higher power potential due to a larger valve and advanced flow engineering in the actual block. The level of precision and accuracy possible are the exact same except that the Dynanic block can push heavier (higher BC) projectiles thus making them less susceptible to wind drift.
@@UpNorthAirGunnerdual reg was always a bad idea, been tried by other manufacturers & failed. Clearly didn't work which is why they reverted back to MK2 set-up
After 9 years and a very good shooting airgun why is it still so ugly? The panthera and king prove they can make a good looking gun but the m has to be ugly?
@@UpNorthAirGunner I like chassis/skeletonized rifles but I just don’t like the impact. My opinion really doesn’t matter much. I tried FX and it was a nightmare that I’m not going to repeat
It’s funny because Utah air basically trashed the upper rail upgrades without literally saying it. They did this by still changing all their personal m4s to air marksman rails in their debut use video. Why if the new rail is better? Really poor marketing for FX from the major importer of the brand.
Be nice to have a 35cal the size of the 30cal you have in the video, putting out the same power....I know it can be done,the ataman 35cal is putting out 144fpe - 900fps 82g
That’s a lot of trigger screws. To me it might be something that gets you lost in the weeds once you start messing with it. Ending up with a garbage trigger and being stuck there.
Most I have heard are disappointed with this. Not going to get one as my M3 does everything this does. You can make your M3 trigger that good. They already had a brass piston in the amp reg. Just put the Huma XHP Reg in place of AMP reg. Get a Stud magazine for slugs to fix the FX mad issues. Studs are all round better and same price.
@@kevintravis2154 This brass piston upgrade is a proven fix for reg creep. I haven't taken this one apart yet, but with some really basic polishing it helps with creep and rebound.
@@UpNorthAirGunner So which is it then? You say the brass piston has proven to eliminate reg creep but then say give it a polish to help with reg creep??? Complete contradiction.

Sad thing we didn't know anything about this m4 coming out and four of us just bought 4 M3s over the past two months very disappointed
It’s business, do you think they’d tell you. Lol 😅
That's what I thought. Great business! They'll never sell anything to all four of us again, so it worked out perfectly. 😂
@@cotrevor1 I asked Airgun businesses before I bought my king 3 weeks ago and everyone said no m4

It's was done this way to keep the sales of the M3s going. Shady business.
I thought we'd be running regs at over 200 bar by now since we have the 300 bar bottles
