FX IMPACT COMPACT

[Lemensd]

For those that may be interested, I got mine this week from SPAW and asked to be set to shoot JABs 18s @ 920-930 fps and came in averaging 923 so check that box. I'm getting 50 shots on the reg from a250 bar fill.

Mounted a Donny Tatsu and is plenty guite enough for me and only adds 4.25 inches to a stubby just under 25 inch IMPACT and looks just right to me.

Can't report on accuracy yet as just mounted optics today.

Couple rifles I currently own Cricket mini carbine and a Vulcan gen3 in .25 and the impact is the lightest and shortest of the three, no extra mod on the mini but a 4 inch mod on the Vulcan.

The IMPACT is the least comfortable to hold and handle as it has sharp angles with machined edges, but not saying I don't still like it, it's just edgy and awkward feeling in hand but I'm warming up to her, have a new grip on the way that I think will help, the FX one that came with it feels to narrow and small.

Cool! pictures please. Ken At SPAW is one of the best dealers ive delt with, never snarky when you have a question or need advice. I would compare him and his service's to Donnyfl.

My .22 Compact from Ken was supposed to be here Thursday, but should arrive tomorrow. Had him tune it for the 18.1 JSB.

Sorry for the no pics as I'm ignorant as how to post pics.

My shipping was a few days delayed due to the covid.

I shot a few with a different scope while waiting for my new optics, and looks like she's gonna be a shooting jessie.

The weight comparison was with the same optics btw

Once you shoot it for a while you will forget the others b

Thanks so much Nick, I'm going to try and post the only crapy pic I have on my phone, as I'm not home now. Man that's so easy. Thank you!

My Compact arrived today. it is sweet. The small grip works for me. I am only 5’5” and weigh 120#. My hands are small, almost child size. Ken gives you a printout in a plastic sleeve with lots of good info. Mine shows an ES of 6, and an SD of 2. If those numbers hold up, it ought to be a shooter.

I would be very interested If you got the .22 and if so what speed of the JSBs 18 grain and your shot count from 250 bar fill? 

Thanks Don

I only fired 10 shots today sighting in. The printout Ken sent me says min speed was 911, max was 917, average speed was 913. I’ll have to let you know the shot count on a 250 bar fill.

I can tell you this. My reg is set at 98 bar. When I got the gun, it had 220 bar in it. After firing the 10 shots, I have 198 bar, so I used like 2.2 bar per shot. By extrapolation. If I fill to 250 and go down to 98 bar using 2.2 bar per shot, I expect to get about 70 shots per fill.

You were right about the sharp edges. Mainly the lower Picatinny rail. LaRue Picatinny rail indexing clips fixed that issue.

Gotta say, I am quite envious of this gun. Love the compactness and power. If I had to guess, I would think the Wildcat MKIII will look a lot like this....

Thanks guys for the input, my reg pressure is at 110 bar, really seems to suck the air down at the beginning shot string , but I have seen this before on some other regulated rifles , drop down the fill pressure to around 230 and not near as thirsty at the.beginining.

The sharp edge that bothers me the most is the trigger guard at the point where my middle finger rest against it while holding it one handed, ouch!

Shimed my rings today to get close to zero without using my scope turret's plus accurately marked my scope for parallax at various yardages.

Fired a few shots at 50 yrds and holy smokes 3 out of 5 hit my dime sized spot, that's me standing with a front rest only looks like a shooting Jessie at this point for sure.

Oh and yes that's a pizza target

I know it’s ghetto, but I grew up in the ghetto (Chicago). Maybe a nicely applied piece of black electric tape on the trigger guard where your finger hits? If you ever take it off to sell, a little Goo-Gone on a Q tip should remove any tape residue.

I was surprised how short it is. It is heavier (of course, with the 300cc bottle), but the same length as my Edgun Leshiy in the 350mm barrel. The way I see it: a 41cc reservoir giving 18 shots fired single shot out of a 350mm barrel, or a 300cc bottle giving 28 magazine fed shots 70 shots on a fill out of a 500mm barrel. I still love my Leshiy as a backpacker, but the Impact Compact=WOW!

read about this on GTA..... and immediatley starting lusting after it.... Only checked UTAH Airguns... and they are almost the same price as the Impact.... 

ok, so who needs a kidney?
