After sitting for 6 months my Impact M3 developed a massive leak while trying to fill with air it just rushes back out from around the trigger?!?! Have had it completely apart twice including the regulator and can find no O ring that doesn't appear to be pristine......any thoughts?

There is an o ring inside of the regulator body. The best thing you can do is change all of the orings, regardless of what what's they look like.

Typically a leak from the trigger area means one of the orings are bad, but if these are bad, then the oring that's inside the housing will also be damaged.

My Maverick did the same thing, 2nd reg was bad, it was fixed under warranty so don’t know what oring actually failed.
Mine had a slow leak from the beginning, found it after a year or so lol

They don’t have to look bad to have an oring failure. Same thing happened to my m3 after storage. Replace the regulator o rings and the housing o ring. Take a good look at the delrin rod and sand it if it’s too imprinted (Ernest has a video on it).

Better yet, replace the delrin piston for the brass one. @PalmBeachAirguns has all the parts in stock as I just rebuilt a reg for a buddy last week.
