Has anyone tried getting a barrel blank spun for an impact m3 .22? I am interested to see the results and am curious where I could get one myself?
fx impact LW barrel?
- Thread starter fx guy
- Start date
Imo, ur better off taking a good shooting liner and solid bonding it into a steel tube. They make amazing barrels

Some have tried it but don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze unless you are aiming for a heavier gun.

I have several FX liners, LW and AP barrels. I tried them on a same gun - my L2 (convenience of swapping and cleaning) shooting couple thousand pellets into target rings @ multiple distances.
All results=cards pictured and each tunes documented in a spreadsheet.
I don't think you would gain anything swapping out your .22 FX liners.

What are you looking to do and what gun?
I've installed .22 and .25 in my impacts.
Just bought a .177 off a member of AGN and it arrived 2 days ago and will be milling it down to try on my Impact.
These are blank barrels at the LW website.
I would get the polygonal barrel without the choke to shoot pellets or slugs. They have a weird 17.7 twistrate. The length is roughly 580-600mm in length at roughly 150-70$ without any shipping. There was a post on me buy some 800mm .22cal roughly 280-300$ each include special setup fee and shipping ,with a minimum of 10pcs and I could only get 4-5 guys to help out on the minimum order, so I decided to not fall through since I was going to get stuck with 5 of them.
I will also be trying out a .223 AR barrel and milling it down to see how they perform.
The fx mag should be OK to load them up on.
I'll have to make a new slug probe and slightly open up the brass transfer port a bit to allow the .bigger slug.
I'll see if they have a 1:12 twist rate barrel.
With that being said I'll have to run it hot 1050-1100 in order to make use of the faster twist rate.
With the stiffer barrel as one unit, the POI was minimum compare to the fx tension system. There is a you tuber that I cut down his .22cal to roughly 380mm that he wanted for a subcompact squirrel gun "Hmong Ozark Airgun" I met him 2 years ago and usually go hunting with him on his channel..
Hope this helps.

Hello Guys, Thankyou for the reply,
I have a .22 Impact M3, that came with a 700mm Superior Heavy Liner, and I want it to shoot Benchrest 50 yards and farther, I don´t intend on taking it out for hunting or field target.
I already tested 3 pellets, btwen 16 ~ 21 Grains and 3 Slugs btween 18 ~ 30 grains with no luck on a group (running 880 ~ 1020 fps) I also know that the Suyperior heavy Liner is idealy for heavier slugs, but as I live in Brazil... we got a shortage of options.
Facing this dificulty, I started to consider replacing the Superior Heavy for the Superior STD Liner, and then searching a little deeper, I discovered about the tests and the possibility of diferent barels.
As originaly my barrel is a 700 mm, so I am looking for one with the same lenth. (primeraly).
Thank you guys

You may have issue in your tunes, try that first. Eliminate the excess air that makes a blow by at the muzzle. Shortest possible Dwell and high Reg....

I'll make another one after the. .177 barrel since a few buddies might want one aswell.
II'll let you know when it's done.
Not sure how much or how long it would ship to Brazil. I've never ship anything outside of the lower US states.
Always had stuff ship here but never export out of US soils.
Had a guy awhile back that wanted me to make him some special slugs to shoot out of hiis gun somewhere in South America since I make my own slugs(somewhere in AGN) I've got a post on my slug making.
I mostly hunt small game and use my own fx style hybrid and sometimes go to bigger game with an arrow setup to shoot out of my impact.
I've got alot of time and $ invested in this hobby of airgun.
My buddy is a dealer for FX and multiple vendors with products with Airguns and sometimes get spoil about getting them first hand.
PM me if I can be of any use.
Cheers,
