Maverick first impression from an (spoiled) impact owner
- Thread starter qball
- Start date
or be like you and have an impact with valve adjustment so you don’t need 3 different hammer weights.
Finally got the Maverick out shoot and boy did it shoot! 30 yards slug on slug 1 hole no matter the wind and the wind was 6-7mph swirling with gusts of 10-12 MPH constantly shifting so challenging condition for sure. Put out a target at 105 yards and the 23 grain slugs @870 FPS is definitely under 1 inch if the wind stay consistent long enough so got clusters of 3-4 shots touching then the wind would change direction then another sub 1 inch cluster. Tried 28 grain which only shot at around 800FPS also 1 hole at 30 and sub 1 inch at 105 yards if the wind doesn’t shift. Over all extremely impressed!!! This is with little tuning if any, just the medium weight hammer with reg at 120 bars so not even pushing it at all. Shot count is about 3 mags at 200 bar fill because my buddy’s tank is low.
this little gun is absolutely amazing!! So amazing it decided to stay at my buddy’s house from now on(he called dibs the day I received it)! Hahahaha
WOW is all I can say when it comes to how well it shoots and this is from a rather spoiled Impact owner!

qball,
Glad to hear your Maverick is shooting well. Got to love a clear sunny day you can shoot a new Airgun and it is putting a smile on your face. Enjoy.

Thanks! It literally floored me on how good it is! Weather was nice but windy but it also showed just how good even light slugs are in the wind Vs pellets. With the wind today I doubt half of the pellets would even make it to the target.
However the Maverick is no longer mine, I sold my buddy my dream-tac compact and I took that back and he will just pay me the difference. He has 5 acre property so he actually gets to shoot slugs any time he wants. Guess it’s a great Christmas for him!!! He really wanted and it simply has too much overlap with my Impact.
for consolation I just got ernest Rowe’s tensioning sleeve to add more stiffness to his carbon liner sleeve on my impact 700mm .25 barrel. Can’t wait to try it now!

I totally get where you are coming from. The Maverick will supplant some Impact owners,not most. Both are fine AR style airguns and I appreciate the innovation.
Your Impact is an AWESOME example. Excellent details.

@2l8 thanks!!! I got it to how I like it mostly and I think I got just a couple more small things to do and I’ll be done. Ok, who am I kidding I’ll find new things to do to it. With how good the Impact and now the Maverick is I’m salivating at the mere thought of next impact! Can’t wait!

factory .22 light hammer weight is 7 grams
medium weight hammer labeled 19215 is 11 grams
heavy hammer labeled 17003 is 13 gram.
stock 7 gram hammer weight will shoot 18 grain pellets at 900 FPS with reg at 100 bars and hammer NOT maxed with 500mm barrel!!! that is super impressive power!!!!
Installed medium hammer and this thing is going to shoot HOT! Will see what it does with my NSA sample packs all the way to 28.5 grain. With medium weight think it’s going to be next to impossible to get any pellets under 900 FPS.
this got me thinking.....if I use medium or heavy hammer can I shoot the 177 pellets close to HMR speed??? LOL!
Hi. The question is a little off topic, but tell me the exact geometric dimensions of the part 47: FX Dreamline Hammer Weight-17003 (in millimeters). Since the borders between countries are closed and I can't order this part for my FX Dreamline Tact compact 0,22 cal., I want to make this part. Currently, my air rifle has a Hammer Weight -19215 part installed, and according to the instructions, the hammer weight – 17003 should be installed in it. The maximum speed of a JSB bullet (18.1 grains) at all maximum settings in my air rifle is 238-239 m / s (780-785 ft/s). To increase the power, I wanted to try installing a new hammer weighing-17003.

It’s hammer time!!!
not sure which one is heavier yet.
q, I pulled mine from my .30 MK3 and it comes in @ 13+g

I’ve wondered about the launch of the Maverick. FX is very polished about getting a flood of videos out on new releases early, especially hunts to show performance. To date, I’ve only seen one hunt (Gerhard) and one shots on targets. The others have been on tuning or simple overview videos. Compared to their usual launches, the Maverick seems to be a bit more disjointed. Not really helped by the “great new airgun you’ll have to wait a couple of months for” approach. I can’t help but wonder why?

Maybe they figure an experienced person will already be able to read and comprehend the energy levels based on projectile weight and velocity, the rest then is if it's accurate. To me, any hunting videos are just gravy or icing on the cake so to speak.

I agree, the hammer weights are not expensive. It was a head ache to figure it out on our own and wait 1-2 week for the parts. Hopefully FX is monitoring our feedback and adjusting to the customer’s needs.

maybe? But it is the hammer that smashes the valve so highly doubt the lead would stay in place for very long. It’s only 5 bucks from FX.
edit: after thinking about it I think it’s possible to mash some lead in there. The hammer striking area is on opposite side so definitely plausible to fill it with a little bit of lead to get to 11 or 13 grams. Only concern is vibration rattling it loose. Maybe you can use solder and heat so it might bond to the hammer better. You only need 4 grams but solder is light so try brass solder?

To get a heavier hammer weight, reproduce the same dimensions as your original weight, but with a longer head and not drilled. It appears the head is twice the length as the original.

Hi Sergio, sorry I missed your first question. Think you are correct, the dimensions are exactly the same except for the minor difference you mentioned.

You can just melt some used pellet using an empty can of tuna and pour it on that hole, once it hardens it wont come off and it would probably be heavier than the original hammer from fx. This will probably give you more striking power

I've even put a pellet like king heavy between the hammer and weight and with a brass hammer on a block of wood "shaped it" added some weight and stayed put.
It works.
It works.

What is the weight of the hammer in Maverick, I mean this part of the hammer?

call FX directly!!! That doesn’t look like an original part to me.
