What is your 2nd regulator set at as part of this tune?
Good question. 120 bar on second regulator. I do have two hammer spacers installed to increase hammer power.
@@68Whiskey are those spacers similar or the same as the spacers that come with the .35 cal barrel kit?
Interesting
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You have achieved this thoroughly! 😳 Seriously well made video. 💪
thanks so much ted. we appreciate you buddy
Thank you Ted!
That’s an extraordinary quote… you are the Einstein of air guns ✊

Hahah. Giles..... deal! But im better at hunting than targets
@@68Whiskey This comment didn't age very well.
@@ashrust Lmao facts! He was being humble
Good stuff Keith! Don’t you worry about the doubters. Make your videos the way you want, so they are fun to do. Screw everyone that doesn’t believe what you are doing. Great stuff man!
Thanks brotha. Sure was fun to prove it though :)
People just jealous because they don’t have a FX. All you have to do is save up to get one. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion.
thanks buddy
@@fathertimencUSA yes sir
Absolutely love this type of content! Thanks for sharing what is possible and what we can expect from these rifles. Have fun making the videos. We'll have fun watching
Thanks Bryan!
Very useful info sir, and thx for being fully open with the data, great job.
Man I can't wait for my M3 to come! Just ordered last week and I still can't stop watching videos on it haha
your going to love it
Me too.
Excellent video, thanks for your time and effort and for sharing. This is going to help the Airgun community a great deal. Cheers from the UK.
Thanks man! My pleasure
thanks buddy
Keith first of all great video but the part that is so much appreciated is the time you took to show and explain the settings and the changes between the two. Thanks so much I love your hunting videos a lot, but it’s the setup of the gun and of course the shooter to make the great hunting videos. Information is key and explaining it finishes it off. Thanks again.
Thanks michael. My pleasure brotha
Love the honesty, Hopefully i can get my hands on one of them soon... Great shooting
Thanks bro
Absolutely incredible and good to watch .all the best from the uk 👍
Great video as always!!! Keep it up!
thanks heath
No games - no gimmicks! Proof the M3 is king. Period.
A good honest video as always!!
thanks brother
no gimmicks? you mean like the LEMON that was the MK1 that nobody wanted to stand behind after they got our money?
I have screenshots that proove Chris from Upnorthairgunner is an alien. He commented commented on this before it was even posted 🤣🤣🤣
@@NOREENULR50BMG I’m from the future and have traveled to your time to bring news about the future of airguns! Oh and Keith and Norm let me see the video before they changed the status of this video from unlisted to public. 😂😂😉
Of all the ambassadors to the sport you guys check every box! I sincerely hope that you are blessed with as much or more reward for your efforts. In the presentation of the M3 platform you clearly enlightened us on the "real" applications toward preference and delivered tangible results in a graphic way. The button head bolt as a focal point is genius, gives reference for the whole array of shots. The "candid" demeanor is respectful, clear, and as I've said before, like listening to my father (in a good way). I appreciate how thoughtfully portrayed this was in that you addressed the "naysayer" components artfully and respectfully. Unfortunate that you had to spend any time on it, but far better to step around that cow shit than in it.
Thanks for the humbling words my friend!
your the man bret. thanks so much for your support brother
So awesome! I see this and keep my motivation to improve my Avenger. Listening to Tay on s podcast and you talking about caliber choice I chose .22 as ammo is easiest to get for plinking, though I do love the JsB heavies. Loving the adjustability of the air rifle world for sure! Keep up your videos drives me every week to get out and shoot!
thanks so much Derek
Thanks for another excellent video. 🎯
thanks heith
Brilliant video mate! And Yes, the M3 is a lovely bit of kit!
Besides the very impressive performance of the M3 and your brilliant shooting...I felt that the best part of this video for me was (and what I hope everyone took away from this) that you spoke very highly of and about the MKII...and I for one really appreciated that!
Cheers, Mark
Farm Pest Management.
Thanks Mark! Its hard not to love the mkII!
Forgot to comment before as I watched this first on Airgun 101 really love these more instructional videos on the finer points of the sport!
Thanks brother
Thanks Keith for another great video and information.
thanks for checking it out buddy
Big thanks man that's as real as it gets.
Thank you Steve
Very impressive shooting, I’ve never had reason to doubt what y’all post, excellent job!
Thank you very much brother
thank you sir
The best thing that I like
Is when you show the target and compare the group's with your hand ✋, that really makes sense overall this gun is really capable of long range shooting
Anyway nice and informative video, keep it up buddy 😎
thanks pal
Thank you Keith, we appreciated your time. I for one believe you guys are on point ... Tom LI NY
Thanks tom!
thanks tom
Excellent shooting and video. Thanks. Many of us would be proud of those groups at far less distance than 175 yards. BTW…you are and always have been believable.👍
Thanks brother. I hope to set a standard as well though, for other content providers that are less “instantly believable” we will call it. Just show the broll and scopecam all at once with the target in sight. Hard to question that :)
thanks Jesse. thats what we are known for is our honesty and telling it how it is. haters will always hate no matter what
Keith, you are a humble individual who deserves respect. That was an awesome display with good commentary and knowledge to back it up. You would do well as a business owner in a location that is lacking such an establishment. I need a neighbor like you. Cheers
Thanks so much Michael!
thanks for the kind words Michael.
Brilliant shooting great video this M3 is really something else especially now you’re just showing me ,man this rifle it just something else, the things you can do with it on the fly you just can’t beat that. 🇬🇧
Thanks brother. You really cant beat it
Your the man my friend, great video.
thanks for your support Johnny
Great job. Nice video.
thanks Matthew
Enjoyed ur video Braddah awsum shooting and mahalo for ur expertise In tutorials🤙
Cracking video Keith, and really shows the m3 off with its versatility, great job my friend, Cheers
Thanks Casper!
thanks buddy
Dear lord!!! how Airguns have changed ,since I bought my Diana 34 Break Barrel 25 years ago ha ha ha, Amazing stuff indeed Sir! ( salutes)
Thank you. Moving up from the old non-adjustable Wildcat to the MK3 whenever it arrives. Will need all the help I can get to get comfortable with all the adjustments. Great shooting.
Thanks buddy
Just remember all those fx power kits are non sense. They provide a hammer which is way too heavy.
Great video Keith thanks for the info 👍🏻
Thanks bro
Great video!
thanks chuckster
That was awesome Keith, especially the birds, I'm on my range at mo & kept looking out thinking was it here or there 🤣😂 great shooting, great rifle. Very true about using metal, physics doesn't lie
Haha thanks pedes!
Very well put together. The format and transparency went well together. Also, I never thought of the cooling effect compressed air would have on the barrel.
Thanks bro!
thanks man
Great video and great information and excellent shooting
Thanks buddy
Great video dude.
😳👍🏻that is incredible distance for an air rifle it got there quick for 175 yards ! very impressive great 😊 video keep them coming
Thank you!
thanks spartan
Great vid man!
thanks so much
I have a MK I that I upgraded to a MKII with a new plenum among other things. I also have a MKII. They both do just like in this video. For me the easy repeatability would be a amazing feature. Thanks for the transparent real world demonstration.
My pleasure jason thank you
thanks for watching Jason
Great video
AWESOME video bud AWESOME shooting my mk2 shoots slugs only cuz I love slugs but to go back and forth is a plus I guess I'm getting one hopefully soon thanks for sharing bsafe
Thanks brotha fig!!!!
Nice vid!
I love the evolution of the impact
Me too man its wild
Dayuuuumn!!!! That is Sweet right there now my Brotha! :)
Thanks bro!
Thanks Keith no b.s. and great explanation for what you’re trying to do
Thanks ray
Killer video and awesome shooting as always. I like the M3 system. My list just keeps getting longer.
Thanks brotha
Dude for the doubters don't watch the channel. Awesome thanks great shooting. Giving myself a break after 8 grand in the last two years 😉
thanks pal for your support
The hunting videos are cool. But this is even better! Love the content
Thanks bro
thanks buddy
good shots congratulations.
I am going to wait for the MK5 to come out next year, after investing over $6000.00 in my crown and my MK2, this is like the computers were years ago the new one is out before you can even upgrade the old one.
Haha
Apple business concept
#Truth
The mk5 is out right now ! Though it is made by daystate.
I agree on scope cam. Awesome video I would have believed you with a spotting scope but scope can is easy. Great shooting!
Thanks sam!
That was great thank you.
thanks chris
@@normanshanley7417 Could you guys do a vid on getting the liner indexed and in line with the scope once it has been optically centered . Hard to get right and painfull to watch the slug or pellet curving to the target
@@christhomas4260 I think there are a few out on youtube already buddy
You should be pleased, I just bought the fx impact m3, I'm driving thumb racks at 75, still learning, great shooting
Great shooting. I enjoy your channel. I just received my .30 Maverick last week and got scope mounted and rough sight in this morning. I put three in one ragged hole at 30 yards without a super steady rest. Can’t wait to see what it can ultimately do after tweaking. I mainly plan on shooting pests at 50 yards or less.
Awesome man congrats on the new gun!
@@68Whiskey Thanks. And just as I was hoping and expecting, I got one ragged hole (.305) group at 50 yards. FX makes an incredible air rifle.
Muy buen video como siempre saludos desde ARGENTINA 👏👏👍👍
Gracias !
When they transfer this tech over to the dreamlight compact I might buy a new gun . For now I am happy with my mark ‼️ . But when they apply this adjustability to the dream light compact ... I'm in .nice shooting Kieth and enjoy the tech talk .
Thanks George! Oh man i hope they do!
Great video, Keith. AsI await delivery of my M3, the difference that made me finally drop the coin is the second regulator. If I'm not mistaken, you can add the Huma second reg to a MKII. Correct? If not, that would be a major reason to upgrade to an M3. Can't wait for the barrel harmonizer and offset manometer. Thanks again, Keith. Nice shooting.
Thanks steven! People have added the huma but i like the m3 version way better. My experience with huma additions is limited but not pleasing when i did
Do you guys still like the maverick? I’ve had mine for for a month and it is inconsistent going from slugs on high power down to power level 4 or 5 to shoot 33.95 jsb’s at 880. It won’t hold a consistent speed even after taking 5-10 shots after changing the setting. I sent it in to fx USA twice now, first time they couldn’t figure out why it was doing what it was doing. Hopefully I get it back this time and it is consistent. I’m hoping the regulator upgrade in the m3 will solve the issues I’m having with my mav. Looking forward to my m3 arriving, very hard to be patient after watching this vid. Lol Lots of great info guys, really appreciate what you guys do!
good to see the pellets shooting well as at the moment i have not found a slug that works well and i dont have FX
thanks Edgar
Unbelievable 👍👍
Nice quick grouping! You could really fine tune this,good shooting!!
Thanks man!
Chris said it!!
M3 no doubt has advantages but I still don’t see the M3 is significantly better than the MK2 when it comes to versatility. My MK2 can be tuned up and down in a repeatable fashion to many ammo, I usually have mine tune for 1 pellet and 2-3 slugs. Ernest’s carbon liner made this possible and I’m literally just dialing for speed with so many good settings to choose from. In fact I usually shoot the same slugs at 2 different speeds for additional versatility.
Regardless, thanks for another fantastic video. Thanks to you I skipped the M3 and bought a crown instead.
absolutely man. the mk2 is still an amazing platform for sure
Nice 😎 sweet keth
both shoot very well
buddy 🎯 great bit of kit
Thanks bro
1.5 suzuki engine cam chane
I like you're real world explanation. When you have one gun with multiple projectile. Alot of gunnner would have a setup for each projectile/load per gun. Each gun is different per load, slug, pellet and "weight". Everything think it's a sniper rilfe without putting in the work to make it accurate.
Yessir thats right. Have to know them and tune them!
wow good shooting
thanks man
THANK YOU for not sharing some kind of "music" while you were shooting. When I saw that you were gonna share some "tunes" I misunderstood, lol! (Kinda behind the times, trying to catch up...long story) Good shooting and good vid. Thanks!
Thank you! Haha thats too funny
Releasing compressed air comes out cooler than ambient.
Very nice 👍🏻🍻😎
thanks mike
absolutely sensational
Thanks bro!
Wow, that's amazing. I'm really impressed with air rifles.
Thanks man. They are getting better every day
@@68Whiskey you welcome. I have a Gamo Magnum 22 cal. Break barrel.
Wow 👏!!!
Great shooting man. Pellets did great
Thanks bro
@@68Whiskey Yup. After I seen you shooting I had to go out myself. 💪
Got my mk2 shooting 27 grain slugs really well, was thinking about keeping the mk2 but tuning it for pellets (.22 hades) Then was thinking about getting a mk3 for heavy slugs, also in .22. That way I don’t need to muck about with different tuning. I.E. having to change reg pressure all the time 🤔. 🤷♂️.
Yup. Or sell it and go m3 to do what ibwas doing. If you can afford to do both guns all the better. Who doesnt like more guns
Impressive!
thanks man
Sempre vídeos excelentes é equipamentos de fazer inveja. E um atirador esplêndido estou ligado sempre nó canal é sempre desejando muito sucesso a você é todos da turma muitos já estão vendo seu belíssimo trabalho fique com Deus like garantido sempre
The statement at 10:00 minutes was something else I to am not really understanding how this happened but it is really something else to see it happen , excellent work and really good shooting .
Thanks Dale, fx really got this one figured out!
thanks dale. hope all is well brother
Teach me oh great impact master
lol marc
Haha
68. Whiskey. But I mean it LOL
The versatility is absolutely incredible, thankfully I do not need it... And my wallet thanks me !!!!😁 Great video and this will probly fill more peoples wants than needs but nevertheless ... Amazing shooting and amazing gun and thank you for the video
...
thanks so much
Thanks brother
I should of waited longer and not bought the fx crown mk2 .25. But it does shoot very good so screw it.
the mk2 is awesome man
Great video! What caliber are you shooting? And what slugs are you using? Thanks for the information!
Thirty cal hybrids! Thanks man
to be considered: Precisión (or the lack there off) is also caused by the barrel harmonics. Fx uses thin wall barrel. liners that are very sensitive to the harmonics sinus wave. This is the reason why their liners are tensioned and supported to reduce the height of the sinus wave (=amplitude) conventional heavy wall barrel would (almost) eliminate or greatly reduce the effect of the harmonics due to its own inertia. A heavy wall precision barrel is sufficient "robust" enough to be accurate without additional tuning.
In other words..
Due to the thin wall barrel liner, barrel tuning becomes a must. Whereas for a heavy precision barrel accuracy is an intrinsical part as long as the twist rate chosen suits the projectile. For slugs is a different twist rate required than for pellets...
The fx thin wall barrel liners are easy and cheap to produce.... but must be separately tuned for each pellet or slug.
Heavy wall precision barrels are rather expensive to produce but very accurate when the twist rates are suitable for the projectiles to shoot with.
Personally I prefer a heavy weight precision barrel in combination with the matching projectiles for hunting since it is a no brainer.
Example : edgun matador in cal. 30..... or the agt vulcan 2 in
30.....power and accuracy are there for both guns.
the fx m3 must be carefully tuned to the projectiles to get the accuracy required. Once this is done, power and accuracy are there.
The fx impact is rather delicate and must be specifically tuned for the power level and projectile weight, whereas the edgun matador/vulcan is always accurate and powerfull enough for hunting even without meticulous tuning
I am the heavy wall precision barrel type of person. If you like to to tune your thin wall barrel to the max and shoot on a bench rest... The fx system may be more suitable for you.
Do what you like guys.. That's what shooting is all about.
You clearly understand what you are talking about. All points are valid. I prefer the thin wall to get length and save weight. And now the m3 quick tune makes tuning simple so no big deal there. Im happy there is a gun for everyone
The gun shoots great. My fx Maverick sniper shoots pellets and slugs with just a hammer spring adjustment. FX has it going on.
Oh yeah baby. The mav is a great gun
Bro which one is best maverick or m3??
And which calibre is best..
Please guide me
I haven't seen any videos on people adjusting their turrets/scope magnification for different distances. Can you share your preferences on this topic? Maybe create a video around this?
Im a disl the turret guy, and magnification at whatever films best lol
Had to watch this again the shooting is so good . I have a guest ion about the new harmonic barrel tuner . Does it come with the MK3 or do you have to buy it separately . I trust your answers completely . Dun Dun !
Thanks man! The barrel tuner is an accessory you get separately. Its still not quite available yet. I cant wait to get mine. Hoping in a month or so!
Keith great job!! Hey what slugs ? This is a great 1st intro to the schooooting school...just sayin
Thanks gil! Those were the 30 hybrids!
If people don't trust your word.....that's their problem. You need not go out of the way and waste your time to prove to the doubters. Done, done. On a different note, UA is getting a .25 M3 Impact ready to ship to me. 700mm heavy slug barrel liner and a slug power kit. Thanks for the video, stay safe.
Awesome james! Thanks for the words bro
thanks James.
I live in the UK l have been shooting a FX verminator MK1 .177 running at UK legal 11.4 ft lbs for 8 years and still thumb nail at 50 yards . Engineering at its finest
Thats awesome
Hey buddy, to to hear from you, hope your well. Tom
thanks. back at you buddy
Can you please do some with the dream lines preferably 25 caliber to show the capabilities of long range slugs and pellets 🙏🏻
Norm has a dreamline thats a laser with hybrids!
Very useful vid thank you. Question was barrel used set for slugs or pellets? Interested in knowing the effect
Awesome video! Curious as to what liner/turn rate you are using with pellets and slugs?
Thanks! Its the 1/22 twist superior
👍👍👍 Sir
Did you say if you were using the pellet or slug transfer port? As always a awesome video! Thanks.
I didnt. The thirty is right now only available with one porting if im up to date. So mine just has the normal everything. Except i added two hammer spacers for more power
Awesome shooting my friend. You're shooting real-time and your rhythm is excellent. I kept thinking if I shot this vid there would be a lot more time between shots and listening to me breathing.
I've just ordered a Mk 3 and started the waiting process. Was unaware to this point that both pellets and slugs could be ran through the same barrel. Had been led to understand that slugs liked slug barrels and pellets liked the STX. What barrel are you shooting and are there any internal mods like the slug kit or is this just a stock Mk3. Trying to get an idea of how to set up the new gun. Would love to sling both from the same barrel.
Thanks again for the great vid and nice shooting👍
Thanks brother. Im shooting a 1:22 twist superior liner. And i have the two hammer spring spacers installed for power but thats it on modifications internally. As you can see it liked the slugs and pellets quite a bit !
Straight superior...or superior heavy? What slugs/pellets? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to find a starting point. From the results you're getting, your setup seems to be a great place to start. Thanks Brother.
Downright Sick Brother! Better groups at 175yds than most can do w/ a powder burner... Whats your luck been with Nielsen slugs? I recall a vid of you guys using them a while back, but you seem to launch FX Hybrids exclusively now. Keep up the great work! 👍
Thanks man! Nsa makes nice slugs nothing against them at all. We are lucky enough to get hybrids provided for us because we would go broke buying all the slugs with how much we shoot. I feel like the hybrids pop hardes on impact that nielsens do, but the nsa come in so many different weights you may find one thats magic in your gun.
Yeah that’s what I call awesome 68 whiskey
Keith what's the final pressure regulator set at? I've got my Mk2 Slugger in 25 cal shooting similar size groups at 170 yards. Now I've got the M3 in 30 cal, have installed the hammer weights just looking for the pressure level for shooting Hybrids at 960fps.
Well done Keith. Man if someone is to think your videos aren't real.😁😆😅🤣😂.
Haha i know man. Thank you!
