Thanks for this new video, really enjoy your comments and answering forum questions. My Impact is still factory warranted but I know I will be using the knowledge I learn from your videos when the time comes.
Thanks Ernest! Had a good laugh at the part where you said how can they use a fucked up o ring hahahaha. its best to understand how these things work. I have accidentally turned in my reg under pressure, getting replacement kit next week. Thanks for all your videos 🙌🏻
@@gordy1961 I understood how to adjust the reg but one day I took a chance to decrease reg pressure without releasing the air. Needless to say I stuffed up the reg and needed to source a replacement which took weeks. Now all working 100% and not taking any shortcuts, VERY intricate little regulator. Learned a LOT.
@@djrautenbach2407 Mine literally blew all 140 bar out in one "explosion" have checked most things but not had the reg out. It will not refill with air, just leaks out into barrel port....
@@gordy1961 If all your air leaks out through barrel port reg is not closing and simply bypass through. (if im not mistaken) You will need to remove reg and inspect. Under a magnifying glass if you have. What caused this to happen?
@@djrautenbach2407 Thanks so much pal, thats what my buddy thinks. I have looked everywhere else so I will strip the reg next. I had just upgraded to slug barrel, carbon sleeve, tungsten power kit etc, was at 160bar using 44gr in .25. It was going off like a shotgun so reduced pressure on reg but obviously too quickly? Didnt regas. A few shots later bang, thought it had exploded! Will update on my results. Thanks again, really appreciate your time. Gordon
I almost bought one of these guns a year ago. I decided against it, and ironically, inherited an impact X in .25 that was purchased about a year ago. The receipt is nowhere to be found, so the warranty is no good. When I got it, both the regulator and the cylinder showed 145 bar. I filled the cylinder to 250 bar, then noticed the regulator pressure was creeping up to over 200. I removed the cylinder, and the regulator pressure went down to zero (probably damaging something else). After watching hours of video on these air guns and all of the problems with leaks, I’m glad I didn’t buy one of these frail pieces of crap. One leak of a thirty cent o-ring can cause a chain reaction that costs who knows how much. I now own a $2000 paper weight. At least it came with a nomad compressor that I can use on my Akela that I ended up buying that has never had a single problem. I can now get rid of my hand pump. VERY DISAPPOINTED in the fx impact X.
@@GreatLakesLogger I ended up sending it to North Carolina for repairs…. They are going through it as we speak and replacing every O-ring in the gun. $200 including shipping both ways. I’m gonna see how it goes once I get it back.
I know this is an old video but as the impact is now sold as mk2 i feel this video is still relevant if not now even more so. I've seen people install the Huma regulator in the quest for more consistency. I've found my mk2 impacts first shot is a lower velocity than the rest of the string is my regulator damaged in need of a rebuild or just poorly setup?and would you recommend installing a huma regulator or sticking with the amp regulator?
Yesterday i blew piston O-ring 2 times . I did not adjust it over its limitation . But the problem is why a piston seal is blown instead of that small down in the regulator adjuster screw ? Now i dont know what to do . Whenever i change piston seal and assemble it . It just blows .
excellent but still don't know where exactly is the leaking in my impact. I hear the leaking inside next to the power wheel. So I don't know where o what o ring is the problem.
My impact goes from 130 bar to 200 bar with only a half turn on the reg and it is not close to being flush is there something wrong with my reg. Also I almost sent it back when I got it because it leaked from the reg
has anyone had problems with the stock reg mine can be turned up from 50-around 90 and the power is still only 6ftlb 😂😂 also on my brother when its fired the needle jumps a little down mine jumps up any ideas cheers

Lol 😆 I've never heard you cuss before ernest that means when you do you mean business lol thanks for sharing
New Impact owner here... Great video.. I'll be following Ernest..
Great info, I sure did not realize flush was it for damage zone Thank's.
WOW just about to do what you told us not do do 🤭 Cheers Ernest ✌🏾

Did you loose all your air pressure? Think I have done the same... lost the lot when firing after not adjusting by the book...

Thank you very much Ernest.
Hey. Can you explain me the adjustments? Must the lock nut clockwise to increase power?
Great vid. Thanks Ernest

I'd be happy to take your "paperweight" off your hands

@@crsddabc5568 gotcha. I just got an m3 yesterday. Pretty good so far

Buenas tardes Sr Rowe.
Se puede ajustar el Impact .30 cal para que de 90 FPE sin dañar o perjudicar la precisión ó el pcp?
excellent but still don't know where exactly is the leaking in my impact. I hear the leaking inside next to the power wheel. So I don't know where o what o ring is the problem.
This isn’t completely true. Fx sent me a rifle with the front reg with 2 or 3 threads past the reg housing and it didn’t blow out.
Nice to know stuff!! Thanks!!!
Hello, I would like to ask the regulator back pressure is slow what is the reason, how to solve this problem?
I have a problem . My impact regulator gauge matches a tank gauge . What is a problem . What o ring to change
Thanks ernest
earnest what about the low end adjustment i heard i shouldnt set reg under 100 bar is it true it will realy damage gun?
My impact goes from 130 bar to 200 bar with only a half turn on the reg and it is not close to being flush is there something wrong with my reg. Also I almost sent it back when I got it because it leaked from the reg
Tom Iliff hi, nothing wrong with reg. No set pressure when regulator adjustment screw flush with body.
hello :) did you know what to do to turn the reg over 150bar without blowing orings ?? i want to test my .25 over 900fps on jsb king heavy.?
What do you think about huma regulator
Tks❤️❤️❤️👍
what combination of disc springs mk2
AMP reg. ()()()()()
has anyone had problems with the stock reg mine can be turned up from 50-around 90 and the power is still only 6ftlb 😂😂 also on my brother when its fired the needle jumps a little down mine jumps up
any ideas cheers
Hello can you please tell me the size of the oring
Hi, go to FX airguns website/support select your AG
Can give me how todo it sir? I want make it
If you can direct me about my fx impact
The gauge of the reg is equal to the gauge of the main bottle.. and if I screw out the bottle the gauge of the reg goes to the zero .
