Well while waiting for my M3 to get here, it's been seven weeks now, I decided to do a couple more mods to the early Impact X. As if I haven't done enough to it already.

Tore it apart and took out the hammer spring shim and weight I was using for a high power .25 slug tune and then, removed the modified Huma and returned the stock regulator to it's rightful place.
I also replaced the light valve return spring, I modified my setup to Gen2 standards, with the much heavier stock spring.

While I had it apart I noticed that the barrel indexing pin, on the rear block was really messed up. FX replaced it under warranty and sent me a new .22 barrel inlet as well. Cudos to FX as I was a couple months past warranty and they saved me $200.

Got the block in my grubby little hands and immediately took it to the drill press drilled and tapped it for a second barrel lock screw. I did a barrel tensioning mod a few months earlier and thought it could use another lock screw so it can share the extra load I am putting on it. Then I had to slot the cheek rest so I could get at the new lock screw.
Installed my new Monster Design power wheel while I was werqing on the gun as well. It gives me a little more hammer spring adjustment without resorting to getting the Allen wrench out. Contact mrshosted here on the forum for more info.
For some reason I had to pull all the rubber balls out of the rear block or the magazines fit really tight. Prior to the rear block change it never had that problem.
Anyway now I can set the gun up for some low power pesting hope I get to do some someday soon.
