The great thing for guys with early impacts is if you add this kit you can lower your regulator pressure. Even the first smaller regulators will handle 140bar and lower pressures with a lot less issues.
Great upgrade for the mk1.
With this upgrade the very first Imacts ever produced can be equal to anything produced after.
Well done FX

With the exception of specialized PCP’s like a Thomas or Texans and lower cost guns like the Gauntlet; FX has just made everyone else’s lines obsolete. No one now shoots harder, faster or more rounds than FX.
It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes for this to move through the rest of their range. Maybe more interesting to see how long it takes to jump to some other brand’s products.

This is rather annoying considering I just paid FX-USA to upgrade my rifle to MKII...
I bought the rifle just before MKII was announced and now this. I can’t catch a break lol.

Complete MK 1 to MK2 upgrade can only be accomplished on latest MK 1 that also had the MK 2 regulator (after a certain serial number). I.e certain newest MK 1 had MK 2 upgraded reg, without people knowing it. IIRC it was around Serial number 184xxx or something like that. If it is the older type reg, then gauges etc. can be upgraded, but not the upgraded regulator, and bolt carrier with Mk 2 stamp. (if anyone would confirm the serial number would be great).
Before a certain serial number, the regs were the older style and the bolts may not be stamped MK 2.
Now, with that said, ALL the other mods (other than the reg) can be done on the old MK.

I did upgrade from first generation up to MK 2 ....changing the master trigger block that can fit the MK2 regulator.
So yes you can totally upgrade from Impact to MK2.

You change part number A-1 for an MK2 and you set the larger MK 2 regulator.
Again, yes you can completely upgrade from Impact to MK 2.

It should stay the same .. I would think this was inevitable they were going to need these power upgrades I would imagine to push the .35 cal platform at decent fps . Thanks for talking me out that Wildcat mk2 and steering toward the impact Chuck . Looks like I'll be getting on this long line .

Your are certainly welcome Phil. I owned a Wildcat MKII .30 cal. for most of this last year...I bought it to learn on so I could help other guys with theirs. And having now owned both the Wildcat MKII .30 and now the Impact MKII .30 I recommend the Impact MKII .30 hands down. I am very happy you decided to wait awhile and think it over before you spent your money on a gun, and tuning, and shipping, etc, and then wish you had gotten the Impact. I used to think I couldn't afford an Impact...now I know I can't possibly afford not to own one.
The Impact MKII has the power, adjustability, balance, simplicity, points naturally & effortlessly, is so simple to work on, and to me is superior in every way. I have disassembled and reassembled my gun over a dozen times in the last month, and even looking at it all apart that many times I am yet to find even one single thing to really criticize. This is the most well thought out - most powerful - and one of the most accurate airguns I have ever had the honor and great pleasure to work on, shoot, and own.
There is only one improvement that I would have recommended, and that was to increase the plenum size by using a larger offset plenum - which FX has just done. The only option I would like to see FX offer on this gun would be an adapter that would allow the use of a 480 cc air tube, like the Bobcat .25 and .30 cal., for guys like me that don't like the looks of the air bottle. I have always thought air bottles were ugly and promptly made some neoprene covers for mine. I will show you a picture of her below...
So Phil, to you and everyone else reading this that respects my opinion on this subject, I once again encourage you in the strongest terms possible to get an Impact MKII. You can buy one today and worry about having it retrofitted with the new Power Plenum later if you please. And who knows...maybe FX will give their dealers permission to sell off their current stock of Impacts at a discounted price to allow them to clear out the old ones to make room for the new ones...with the understanding than anyone that buys one on clearance will have the option of getting on the list to have it retrofitted with the upgraded plenum later if they choose. But there are a lot of guys that will buy an Impact and use it as is and never upgrade it to the larger plenum whom I am sure would appreciate the opportunity to get one on clearance at a little 10% discount...hint hint.
Here is picture of my baby Phil...and as you can see for yourself I modify things to please myself, without a second thought about reselling her because I never will.
All the best to you Phil and Happy New Year to all, Chuck
