Fx impact x Mk2 availability?

So I did it. Pulled the trigger and ordered the MK2 in .30 cal 700mm barrel. I ordered from Pyramyd on June 6th. The day I ordered the availability was estimated to be the 19th I believe and would roughly receive the gun around the 27th. .. Well this availability date keeps creeping back and back. Guy at pyramyd says maybe mid July. 

My question would be does anybody on here have any inside info on production and availability? Like when am I gonna see this thing?
 
You'd think after selling 2k guns for nearly a decade, you'd have your production ramped up to meet supply. You certainly cant state its because they carefully go over every gun in production, because their quality control is far from industry leading. You certainly can't defend them for their predatory sales and marketing tactics...



With as much disdain as I have towards FX, the demand for some of their models (mainly impact) is unrivaled and a piece to your puzzle as to why there is back log. Oddly, Apple never has a shortage of iphones..and they're infinitely more complex to design, build, market, and warranty/repair.

FX is a boutique not mass produced manufacture, NO ONE expected COVID and the demand that came with it. Then air freight prices have more than tripled so everything is in a container on a boat which slows everything down way more. On top of that there are less people working so it's the perfect storm.



However, just call around I'm sure someone will have one in stock. Utah air gun should have the 30 in stock and check airtankforsale guys, they are less known so good chance they have one in stock.

apple has about 2000 +/- chinamen building there stuff, FX has about 40+ sweden's from what i've been told..

so thats the ratio that equals reality 🤘
 
So Pyramyd and AGD sell with fixed moderators? Wow, I guess I'm a blatant noob. cancelling now

That is incorrect. The Impact comes with the FX Stackable Moderator (Basically a hollow tube), it does not come permanently affixed. The only FX models we sell with fixed moderators are the Dreamlines (and that excludes the compacts). Those come with FX branded DonnyFL moderators and are loctited...very easy to remove with a little heat.

And to address your availability question: what the website doesn't show is how many folks have also pre-ordered ahead of you. So in this case, the original date displayed does account for an incoming shipment from FX USA, but does not account for how many are coming or where you are on the list. This is why the date appears to creep back. And while it does, you also move up the list. Sadly, that's just how it is with FX Impacts right now. Hopefully that makes sense, we are always looking for ways to improve our systems to account for these things, but it's not there right now. That aside I am glad you were able to find what you were looking for, even if it wasn't from us. Hope you enjoy it.

THEY BOTH ARE STRONG RELIGIOUS ANTI-SILENCER COMPANIES FYI... Don't be surprised your CAN at the end is only for DECORATION and HOLLOW ON THE INSIDES. Yo!

Just because we do not sell them as stand alone items, does not mean we are Anti- anything. If that were the case, we wouldn't sell anything with a can of any variety on it, loctitied or not.

Get ready for awesomeness! These Impact guns rock, and is why such a large demand.

Sorry then, I stand corrected. I remember awhile back reading Q&A's on AGD and PA with questions and answers about the non-removable moderators.. That combined with the description " FIXED, Stackable Moderator System " made me believe you two sell a different variant of Impact. I guess the correct term would be "Non-telescoping (fixed) shroud, stackable moderator system"
 
As a Pyramyd Air customer, I can confirm that the Impact MK-IIs that they sell 
most certainly do not have pre-installed / fixed and/or thread locked suppressors..
They are in fact 'included' in the case with the rifle and accessories.
[I received 2 MK-IIs from them. 1 Non-Power-Plenum model & 1 Power-Plenum model]
Screw them on or leave them off. The option is there, and totally up to you.

[I just wish that FX included a bbl thread protector.]

PS: The way it works at P.A. 
If you're interested in purchasing an FX Impact, it's best to call and speak with them.
Using the site is fine when items are in stock, but, that's usually not the case with these.. 

X amount are ordered in at a time.. 
When people want one, P.A. puts them on a list, and those on the list are 1st come 1st serve. 
When the shipment comes in, they'll be notified and the transaction can be done.. 
If more people try to obtain one in between shipments, they'll be bumped to the next arrival date, 
and then within a few days, they'll be notified, and so on.. Remember, they're in very high demand..

I had to wait both times, but, it was a relatively quick time frame.. 

I dealt exclusively with Greg, and he was always great. 
We also had fun playing games of 'phone-tag'. 😀
 
Update: zero buyers remorse what so ever. Here's my 5 shot group from today at 160yds. 4 rounds inside 1 inch until the last one decides to do it's own thing. This is only my second time shooting the impact or ANY pcp other than my Hatsan. I'm so happy with this gun. Bought from and tuned by SPAW. JSB 44.75gr @ 900fps
