I'm a newbie with an FX Impact and I ordered along with the rifle a DonnyFL Stainless Steel Extended Quick Disconnect with Foster fitting because I had read that they are needed on the Impact because the male foster fill port is deep within the trigger guard. I have a shoebox compressor on loan and I'm almost certain I used the Extended QD fitting to fill the rifle after I received it.
Today, I tried to fill the rifle again and the extended QD fitting's collar won't seat in the locked position. I even pulled the trigger guard (4 screws) to be sure it wouldn't. No joy, I couldn't get it to seat. Since the trigger guard was off I was able to fill using a standard length QD foster.
Anyone ever experience a troublesome fitting? I looked to be sure there wasn't some debris or other obstruction. No contact on the walls of the trigger guard. I'm stumped because I'm nearly positive I was able to use the extended fitting for that fill.
