[Vetmx]

I would just like to verify my conclusion on my M3. Bottom target yesterday top target today, both 18 gr pellets, same distance no warm up shots either day,
30 yards because of wind 10+mph. Pulled the gun out of the safe by the moderator. 9 shots on top target 19 on the 2inch spinner @ 60 yards without a miss. You could say the spinner isnt a perfect group but really? its windy and I dont claim to be a pro. Your results may very

You may not claim to be a pro but if you can shoot 18gr pellets like that in a TRUE 10+mph wind, you might be a level above a pro.

I always shoot a couple of shots from all of my regulated guns before shooting groups. It takes a bit of time if the gun has been sitting for a while for the reg to settle in.

Last time I cleaned and polished the Reg in my .25 MK2 was about two years ago, that is well over 20 K shots. I just noticed last week the creep started again, about 2 K shots this season so far with this Impact. Checked my records the Reg was set to 145 bars last summer and now climbs up I don't know maybe in 2-3 days sittin in a hardcase to 175. Time for a quick surgery.

I hope replacement of O rings will fix it.

The Impact was sitting in a locker over six months winter time without recirculating the pressure.
Polishing the mating surface between two piston parts - especially around orifice - will do. With 3M polishing cloth, I bought and used last time back in 2021.
Every oring I remove from its position I never put it back, replacing immediately with a new one - recipe for happy life
