I'm surprised there is 61% as of writing this that are getting same speed. I own an fx impact (says in my name lol). I have use fx amp reg gen 3, also used huma reg, and then tired m4 reg with brass piston. All will creep about 5 bars over night and speed will be lower by about 40-50 fps using 33.9gr jsb heavy mk2. So I find it hard to believe that there is 61% getting same speed. Woozers. None of my other guns does this. I believe the fx impact have this issue due to the small reg. It's like 3 times smaller than any other regs on my other guns.

Based on what I've researched on this issue, the cold shot symptom goes way back to the M3 days, i read some owners decided to take apart their M3, thoroughly clean the valve rod when they found some grease on it and the o'rings, put them back together, and no longer see the discrepancy after overnight, same fps for cold shot, while few others only had the issue developed few months later, they did the same thing to take it apart for cleaning and lubing with silicone oil, but installed the "fix" made by mubhaur, which look like a plenum cap holding the valve rod, the "fix" also mitigated the issue.

I really appreciate this photo, the first I found comparing the sizes directly. Thank you very much for sharing it!

I know for a fact the impact and crown use same reg. Cant say for sure for the panthera since don't own one. But if you already have both the impact and panthera. And you replaced the panthera with huma reg. That means the panthera reg is sitting there. Why not just put it in the impact? Am I missing something here?

Click to expand...

That was my next step after someone confirmed that what I am considering will work. I see that HUMA does list the Panthera and M3 as different regs...but beign there are no part numbers listed - who knows? I don't want to just blindly throw in the AMP 2 account I don't want to damage my M3.

Just to be a little pedantic.
Firemen work on trains, primarily very old trains. The fine ladies and gentlemen at your local FD are firefighters, not firemen. Most all the guys I know prefer firefighter. Cuz that is what they do!

This aftermarket design is unappealing not to mention the high cost in todays Euro currency rate converted to 747.68 USD??? I rather buy a Saber Tactical @ $300 than this Aeron which aesthetically doesn't measure up to the Saber Tactical. I have been thinking about getting the Saber Tac. but haven't pulled the trigger yet. And at $787 plus shipping and VAT for a Aeron, I could buy another collectable PCP for that amount. My needs doesn't warrant spending $$$ on a Aeron I think most would say it's ugly. Now my wants is another matter. (i.e FX) I keep a balanced perspective on this hobby.

Click to expand...

I respect your opinion but I would much rather have a Aeron (which is why I have two of them) over a Saber Tactical any day as they are lighter and much better looking in my opinion but to each their own. Of course that was just an example and it's for a firearm and you are right that price is too high but they would not need the butt stock or the grip since they could supply that themselves to keep the price down. If MA could offer a metal chassis in the $300 range I think they would have some real interest.

26 grain slugs with all stock internals.......991 fps.
Second reg at 108, hammer micro at 4.
You are wayyyyyyy over hammered.

The issues with Chinesium products? The materials themselves are highly suspect. Is that brass...or leaded brass? If Chinese leaded brass as it is easily machined and cheap.
A friend years ago had replacement jet ski impellers made in China, his first article samples were awesome, superior or equivalent to the OEM part and cheap. His container of impellers were not the same material and failed rapidly. Bankrupted him, oh that container? Could not even be sold for scrap stainless steel. The scrap yards (several) stated we don't know what it is, but it is not Stainless Steel. Buyer beware! Again the first article samples were excellent.

I think that the PP700S-A is a really great pistol!
I have one in .22 and made it a compact version.

I like it, wish I had the skill to do something like that, I like the grip, Does the Atom hush the 700 pretty good?

This listing has been renewed

The first returned gun wouldn't cock. The troubleshooting was covered in this thread. I might be crazy, but I swear the fill port on the first Notos was directly at the bottom and the gauge was perpendicular to the rifle, which is why I started this thread with questions... Also, both rifles were purchased from different suppliers.

If gun won't cock doesn't mean it broken. Look under the trigger. There is a small hole. You use an Allen key 1.5mm and stick it inside the hole. When you feel it line up with the screw, you turn it counter clockwise. Then try cocking. Keep turning till the gun cock. These are simple fix. I don't think your 1st or 2nd gun is broken. You just new and don't know what you are doing. Try doing research b4 buying a gun. That way you don't go, oh it's broken when it's not.

Same, but the Megalodon still hasn't released in Europe yet. It was supposed to arrive in july/august... but there have been massive delays

While flex seal absolutely will not contain air pressure, it will contain the tank gnomes. So glad we finally have photographic evidence of their existence.
He is a scary looking little guy, he needs to be wrapped in flex seal and contained appropriately. I've also heard they are primarily Blue, wrap them in Flex Seal, release on Nov. 7th

Just be sure to have a righteous priest or shaman exorcise and bless, or have a shaman cleanse and curse the flex seal. Unless they have a Vatican approved anti gnome medallion or ancient Hutu talisman against "pygmy demon" they're not legit.

Interesting, I still get out on new construction jobs. The commercial electricians are now saving all their scrap wire. I had a big box of scrap copper wire from my home remodel, I told the electrician Hell yes I want to old wire. That box got me 80 bucks at the scrap yard and that was a couple years ago. Foolish to throw any metal away nowadays, it is quite valuable.

@Echo Are you using the On X app to do any of this?

To scout yes but for the trail cameras I don't. Based on what I see in the field I'll set my cameras.

A lot of the first low shots and not being able to hunt is way overblown. There are very simple fixes for it. I had a BRK Ghost for awhile and it would get a bit of reg creep which would give me a low first shot. It’s worse with the Impact, but that Impact will outshoot a ghost any day of the week.

That's funny! I enjoy seeing reviews on inexpensive guns very much. Stoeger is setting a high bar with a 5 year warranty, that's impressive. We are always looking for the next gun. I'm on the verge of selling off a few of my powder burners, there are several that could go away and be replaced with PCP. Not shooting powder burners much at all of late.

I run about 14 fpe to 15fpe in my TX200. I tried JSB Knockout 10.?gr and Jan 10gr and 13gr. at 50 yards along with various pellets. For me, at 50 yards the most consistent player were AA 10.3 Field Heavy Pellets. An early batch of 10 gr Zan performed well, however I have never been able to locate another batch that performed as well. So for me, now I am sticking with the AA 10.3 in 4.52 head size.

I think so. Talontunes has/had a .30 drop in kit for the Condor, but one would have to cut their 24" barrel down to 12" to fit the Talon-P format. Their biggie .30 top hat and valve fits the Ring-loc type bottles like on the Talon-P, and that little bottle should get maybe 8 powerful shots. As a guess I bet it would put out ~50-60 ft#.

Click to expand...

I found a paintball bottle that was 100cc larger than the one that came on my Talon P. I had to buy an adaptor, but it worked well.

As for cutting down the barrel, I would try it at full length first. I would definitely not cut it down to the 12 inch legnth of the Talon P barrel if power is the goal.

Impact M4 is more for competitive shooters, not for hunters.....there I said it....this is why they don't care to fix it because the valve break away friction is fault of a design that benefits competitive shooting.

There is NO part to 100% completely fix this due to the nature of balanced valves for the entire slope of the tune, only mitigation or a non-balanced valve. Period.
