Somebody posted this same video a few days ago. I took it to mean that FX is now sponsoring Ernest to make instructional videos on how to maintain and repair our own guns and save us the cost of shipping and labor. If that's not the case, I will be sorely disappointed. Let's face it, that's what Ernest was doing for us all before FX gobbled him up. In that case, FX did us no favors and deprived their own customers of a most valuable technical resource. But if FX is going to sponsor Ernest to continue to do for us what he did before at his own expense, then I have an even greater respect for Fred Axelsson than I had before.
What has kept me from buying an FX Impact is the fear of costly repairs and high shipping charges. But if FX is serious about sponsoring Ernest's videos, that fear is gone and I'm ready to pop for an Impact as soon as I can scrape up the loot. But if this video is an empty FX promo, I'll pop for a less complicated and less troublesome gun, or make do with what I have.

Beeman R7 ... Just sent my Impact in to the new FX USA repair center here in NC for some warranty work on the regulator and the trigger and also to get Ernest Rowe to do a full tune and re-seal on everything as well as replacing some parts that have changed since I got my Impact last year ... like replacing the valve seat to a titanium one, polishing the barrel and transfer port, the trigger, the valve rod and hammer, polishing the o-ring seating surface in the regulator and replacing the hammer spring ... as well as enlarging the probe set screw to a M-4 for safety and then tune it to whatever speed I request for a given size and weight pellet. Heck ... they even paid the shipping charges because it is under warranty.
I never got anything like that from AoA. Last year I had to send in my Omega Super charger shortly after I ordered it because it had a chip on the bottom of the piston which was keeping it from building up pressure ... it was under the full warranty but I still had to pay shipping charges and insurance fee to send it back to them ... a total of $120.00. Now they did pay the shipping back to me but still ... I don't think it is right to send you a brand new expensive defective compressor and then make you pay freight to send it back to them.
Mayhap the folks at AoA could gain some valuable insights on how things OUGHT to be done and it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to take the Master Class themselves.

Yeah it's promoting knowing your gun better and being able to fix things on your own. Isn't that a good thing?
