Well explained as always. Step by step you have a good manner showing the correct method. Master class should use you rather than Ernest as I struggle with his explaining.
Thanks for another useful video and instruction . But ....! Did you noticed the action of manometer pointer at 8:02 ?! I think Huma manometer had a problem with even hand tightening !
I think it’s a visual trick to the eye or camera angle that makes it appear to go downwards ( if that’s what you mean ) I have a wika at the back and both read exactly the same pressures so I think the Huma gauge is fine
Dank voor de video! Ik begrijp alleen niet waarom je de druk van de tweede regulator zou willen zien? Tegen de tijd dat die terugloopt ben je eigenlijk al te laat. In mijn beleving is het veel interessanter om je flesdruk te kunnen zien op die hoekmount. Want zo kun je voorkomen dat je onder je regulator druk komt en tijdig bijvullen. De eerste en tweede regulator zijn in principe vaste waarden, tenzij je te lang doorschiet. Ik snap overigens dat jij dat ook niet zo hebt verzonnen! Ik ben me ervan bewust dat ik nog een noob ben in pcp land, maar dit voelt gewoon onlogisch voor mij.
Het heeft een voordelen met bepaalde tunes om in de gaten te houden waarom een shot wat off can zijn . Bv met sommige efficiënte tunes can het zijn dat je plenum niet herlaad omdat er te weinig druk uit het plenum is en daarvoor je volgende schot een drop of raise kan hebben . Bij hogere regulator tunes is dat meestal niet het geval en heb je gelijk . Maar ik ben een gadget freak 😉 en kan er dan beter ook wat andere mee helpen en content creëren 😉
Thank you for the video. I tried to install mine but had air leaking from the atmosphere release hole; uninstalled after that but after watching your video I will try again and this time I will leave the back regulator gauge in place. I didn’t think to try that way when I tried the first install.
I tried to reinstall the kit yesterday but it failed and the M3 is headed back to FX for repair. I installed the manometer and got a reg pressure reading at the new gauge but didn’t get a reading at the third gauge. No air was getting to the plenum; uninstalled and then the leak was worse but the gauge in the rear was reading. Regardless, at this point I am sending it back today for FX to get this sorted out; second time I’ve sent it back for leak’s but that’s part of ownership. At least FX is awesome with taking care of their issues with leak’s and what not…
Airbuk is right. It sounds like the problem is with the o ring in the reg. Could of easily take the reg out, clean and inspect the o ring and replace of damage. Save money and time shipping it back for a simple fix.
this is the easiest fix - some rifles chew on that Reg Piston Oring - last night I wrecked 2 on my mates impact but mine has never gone - all you need to do is replace NBR 70 4X1.5 Oring on your regulator piston. its the only oring in the rifle that moves back and forth when the reg opens and closes - so I guess it will wear out eventually, - dead easy to do 30 mins max
I didn't actually think it was a glue ;-) but was curious as to what type of lubrication you were using. You've got one of the best channels here. Thanks for the reply.
I use a high regulator pressure because because I like a short air burst for shooting slugs . Is not that I need 150bar to get 30gr slugs to the speed I want but with a high pressure short burst I find that the tune is easier to get right
Thanks for the video! I ordered a bracket to install on my M4. They should have come like this from the factory. The hole that is plugged by the middle grub screw leaks air on mine. I tried blue loctite and that didn’t work. So instead of trying other solutions like using a different thread sealer or dropping a piece of oring in front of the grub screw, I just ordered a bracket. Like I said, should have come like that from the factory. I plan on using the wika reg on the bracket. Can you or someone reading this share with me how to install the blind plug? Thank you! Gabe
Thanks for the video!! Is the fill pressure on the 580cc bottle still 250 bar?? And what reg do u watch to see when it falls off ? 1st or 2nd ? Thanks again!!
Question do they have that gauge mount with a magnet so your handle stays back or is it one or the other I have the saber top rail I want the full backbone one as u know it all comes down to having the money to get it done and then you don’t have to worry about a magnet tu Midas
Hi and thanks for GREAT videos. I wounder how you let the air out with the insex and pulling the trigger? Is there any point to place the insex on? Please let me know ! Have a nice day and best wishes from Rolf/Sweden.
@@Airbuks hi. It looks that you have a insexkey in your hand and put it behind the trigger. Or do you turn out the reggscrew so the air get out? Its hard to see. Sorry for my bad english.
Hi im wanting to add the angled manometer bracket to my fx impact but still keep the reg 2 gauge in place as well.Do i still have to completely drain the gun of air or just remove the bottle.
Good morning Mathias I have a question my m3 I just went to fill it up for the first time in months and my first reg went up to 225 and the fill gauge was only at 205 and the second reg was at 145 so I stopped filling it up and set it aside I wasn’t sure what I should do next any suggestions thank you Del
Hi , it might be that after all these time not being used the 1st reg is acting weird and probably needs a rebuild ( new oil) what you can try is fire it a few times and see if the reg starts cycling or take the bottle of and put a drop of silicone oil in the bottle adapter. When screwing the bottle back on the air pushes the oil true the reg and might get it working properly again . Hope it helps keep me posted
Yes indeed , but I don’t have access to my range at this time 😔 I can get there in 2 weeks . There are already great shooters showcasing the M3 , I am more a technical kind off guy 😉 but I will still bring the shooting videos when I can
Hi buddy. I just bought impact M3 sniper .22 power block edition..I'm thinking to change the Calibre to .25 .Apart from barell and pellet probe is anything else that i have to change like hammer weight? Etc . Because for my maverick.177 i had to change the hammer weight aswell when i changed the Calibre to .25 .. please advise
how do you take off an m3 manometer when it is stuck without braking it .. i have the first reg manometer and it is stuck i cant turn it . i have a small leak and only the one under the manometer i did not change . a response would be much apreciated. keep up the good work and thanks in advance.
Strange 🤔 you could heat it to loosen the loctide. Best way to do it is to stick a Allen key inside the screw and heat the Allen key so you don’t have to pouts flame directly at your impact . Maybe stupid question but you did bleed the entire system right ?
I'm guessing this won't fit on mk1 and mk2. What a shame. M3 got all the cool stuff like dual reg, 16 point wheel, easy micro adjust on the side, 72cc airtube. Us older impact owner got none. ;(
The angled manometer is exclusively for the M3 as the previous models don’t have the mounting points . But make sure to check the video I made on upgrading the MKII to the M3 with every possible part of the M3
Awesome video buddy I think in my opinion it will get in my way cause of the way I cock my gun and how I shoot maybe if I was a Lefty it would work for me ... thanks for sharing bsafe ty for the info
Fx needs to have this guage mod directly from the factory. The underside 2nd reg is in a terrible area. "Finger tight?!" I would not finger tighten a guage with 150 bar pointing at my face. I had to tighten my guage with an adjustable wide-jaw wrench to stop it leaking. Hand tightened with all my strength and it still leaked.If you notice the other guages, they are basically seated all the way in. Remove the plastic guage housing cover and you all will see a surprise.
Finger tight is good enough. The o ring is what seals it. I'm guessing you are talking about other pcp cause fx impact do not need to be tighten to stop leaks. Other pcp doesn't use a o ring, they are seal with thread tape and tighten with a wrench.
@@hightidelowtide6380 Bottomed out doesn't mean they are tightened really tight. Could mean they have less threads than the others. Finger tight should be just fine with an o-ring. If you crank down on ANY of these screws in the Impact, you're going to have a very bad day when they strip from overtightening.
@@hurricaneaquatics I guess you haven't looked at your guages on your Impact M3? I finger-tightened my guage and it wasn't even close to seating-thus leaking. I tightened it all the way down like the factory and zero issues since. Finger tight with an o-ring is hilarious 😂. I guess when I build my engines from now on, I'll finger tight any part using o-rings!!!
@UCSJDM7QcXDycoDDl1D0mgSw You think what you think and do what you wish. I won't describe to you about threads as it's a technical spec. Anyway, if you Torque down a gauge you have a few issues. One, busted oring, they are made to squish a bit not flatten. Two, stripped threads, as these guns are aluminum and take it from me, if you strip a thread, it's a very bad day. Three, the gauge has no nut to tighten. So how exactly did you bottom them out? If you're going to tell me you gripped the gauge and twisted somehow, that's a great way to damage the gauge. So, up to you friendo.
Yes the bottles have a check valve inside of them , as soon as you unscrew it a few turn you hear a his an then that valve closes keeping the air inside the bottle
I think it would be more useful for the gauge to read the tank pressure instead of the plenum pressure. To watch and notice BEFORE it drops under reg pressure. Just my thoughts.
@@Airbuks What causes that to go bad ? I had a slow leak coming from the bottle manometer . I degassed the gun and tightened it a little . As soon as I put the bottle back on air was coming out like crazy . Does one thing have anything to do with the other or was it just dumb luck. ?
@@andrefigueroa7315 I am afraid it’s dumb luck , if a oring seals well releasing the pressure might loosen one or move slightly. When a oring is in for a while it deforms to seal and might not be able to seal again once the pressure is applied again
Pls help me with my Order No - PO#1504 OC#201193 with FX Sweden, paid advance to their dealer in India and still waiting for my fx Impact M3 from last 7 months...pls help anyone..

Nicely made instruction video. What kind of "Glue" are you using on the o'rings?
The lube I use is a silicone based lube from Huma air used for orings an regulator rebuilds .

Hi any tricks to getting the center grub screw out, mine is very tight I'm scared of snapping the Allen wrench in the grub screw.
It maybe glued , so put a Allen key inside and heat that Allen up ( indirect) to soften the glue and the screw should come out

Because for my maverick.177 i had to change the hammer weight aswell when i changed the Calibre to .25 .. please advise
Hi , the 22 cal power block edition should have a hammer that is heavy enough
I hear air coming out of the atmospheric hole on the angle side. Is that normal? I hand tighten the nanometer as much as I can.
I am afraid that’s a regulator issue 🤔 you might need to change the orings
Thanks for the videos
You’re welcome 🙏🏻
how do you take off an m3 manometer when it is stuck without braking it .. i have the first reg manometer and it is stuck i cant turn it . i have a small leak and only the one under the manometer i did not change . a response would be much apreciated. keep up the good work and thanks in advance.
Best way is to put a hex socket that fits over it to put equal pressure all around
Hi do you know the size of x ring under the manometer? I have leak bcause my xring is broken...
You can find all the correct sizes on the FX website under support . There are schematics with everything you need to know

Great video, Could you tell me what scope mounts you have on your gun.
These are medium height , I like to have it as low as possible 😉
How high preassure can you safely have on the second regulator?
I wouldn’t go any higher then 165 bar

They are very comparable 👍depending on what size . I found the 25-28mm the most accurate
@@Airbuks how about huma air 23mm gauge?
@@erwino024 the smaller the gauge the more difficult it is to make it accurate. That’s why I chose for a 25mm digital one
