Fx Impact Fix & Mods for more FPS / FPE
- Thread starter AirSupply
- Start date
Possible maybe but import tax from the us on an item that has already had import tax to the us makes it financially a non starter.
i could always buy a RAW and only pay tax once!

WTF ! I contacted this store/guy 5 months ago, and he told me that he does NOT ship/sends airguns outside Sweden! Still got the mail! Only parts and accessories! Thx for the info. Gonna write him straight away on this one!
And about them scandalous European prices : the European Union is a bunch of thieves! Importing from the US is only possible if your retarted. For example: I bought a 18v battery for my tools in the US trough ebay. Battery + shipping costs was around $70 (€65) It took 3 days to get the battery to Belgium, and 3 weeks to get it from Brussels to my place(15 miles) The postman NEVER has the item with him. Only an “ invoice” from customs. Hold on here: i needed to pay €178 duties and taxes (+/-$190) !! 2 choises here: either you pay the corrupt bastards, or option 2: they keep the battery(it doesn’t get send back) So i lost $70 dollars......... ANYTHING above $25, including shipping costs, starts with €30 ($33) “paperwork!
It is VERY hateful to see a European company selling guns $2-300 cheaper on other continents! I think you know what i mean!
A Meopta scope ( build in Europe! ) costs $850 in the US. Same scope all over Europe : €1099 ($1.200 !!)
Sorry for this all, but i needed to spill my guts here, concerning the (corrupt)European Theft policy.
Maybe NOW you understand President Trump, and why he is raising import taxes for US citizens who want to buy stuff in Europe. Just a responce, coz we, Europeans, would LOVE to buy American stuff, but European “rules” are making it impossible.
But that doesn’t justify the prices FX charges on their European customers!
Sorry again!
Cheers

I am seriously thinking about cancelling and buying a steyr.

+1. Lucky the importer is a close friend, and i can cacel anytime i want. The gun will be sold the same day to another customer.
And on instagram FX USA spits in our faces. Again a lie from Johan Axelsson! 1US delivery a month. So why says FX USA, standing next to a HUGE delivery, that the next batch will arrive next week?
i pray the lord that JSAR gets his license to export his guns!

Update on large plenum from Poland. It is somehow tricky to assemble the gun and what puzzled me was the moment when I have to screw bottle with loose screws on main and rear block, the screws that hold plenum and valve housing, 4mm allen screws. That allowed position of the plenum in right place, not touching the barrel and no pushing the rear block upward. I used around 100 bars in the bottle to make it easy to rotate it. Only then I fastened those two screws and all is well.
Topped a gun to just 150 bar to test it, put the reg on 100 bars and got max speed of 291 m/s with 1.645 grams. VS 5,9mm, elongated barrel inlet port and modded pellet probe .25 cal, 600mm barrel. Further testing on Saturday. Good yob Michal.

Sorry again for my previous post. I just tried to explain the 2faced BS from FX.
But the post from FX USA on Instagram was the drop that made the bucket overflow for me. I called my friend, the FX importer, and officially cancelled my order (March 2019) for a impact mkII .30 with 700mm barrel & .30/700mm slug liner! The .30 that they produce @ this moment, + slug liner, isn’t wort my €2.260! (+/- $2.500)
I’ll keep following this thread, because it is amazing to see the craftsmanship some of you guy have. But It isn’t logical that people need to make their own parts, just to make a gun shoot, how it should be shooting from factory in the first place! Thanks to you all!
Cheers.

Not wanna cause panic here, but i heard some nasty s**t about the Polish Plenum builder! A Polish man send his gun to the man for tuning, and he got it back, totally messed up! Threads pulled out of the block, broken off screws, and it holds no more air! And he doesn’t care about it! So the owner is going to try and repair the damage on his impact.Sad....
The moment i read about his “oval” plenums, was the moment i removed his website & mail.
Cheers

WOW! Sweet machine(but I don’t know how to us it)
So you know about Michal’s crap too! Man, it will cost the guy a lot to fix his impact again! And his plenum.....nope! Need to let the air out to switch barrel....
Anyway, your work looks a LOT better than his! Great job! But i cancelled my impact mk2 order, and now I’m going to look “tuning” parts for my .25 FX Crown, build November 2018. Ernest developed a kit for it, but i gave it up to try to get an answer from him.....No use.
Again, nice job!
