FX Impact M3 Angled Manometer Bracket

In this video i am showing you how to install the Angled Manometer Bracket by FX for the Impact M3

[@doctorxring]

THANK YOU for posting this video. THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS with my angle bracket kit.

[@Pealesperegrine]

Well explained as always. Step by step you have a good manner showing the correct method. Master class should use you rather than Ernest as I struggle with his explaining.

[@Airbuks]

Thx 🙏🏻, I appreciate the time to write this nice comment 👍🏻

[@songboek]

Dank voor de video! Ik begrijp alleen niet waarom je de druk van de tweede regulator zou willen zien? Tegen de tijd dat die terugloopt ben je eigenlijk al te laat. In mijn beleving is het veel interessanter om je flesdruk te kunnen zien op die hoekmount. Want zo kun je voorkomen dat je onder je regulator druk komt en tijdig bijvullen. De eerste en tweede regulator zijn in principe vaste waarden, tenzij je te lang doorschiet. Ik snap overigens dat jij dat ook niet zo hebt verzonnen! Ik ben me ervan bewust dat ik nog een noob ben in pcp land, maar dit voelt gewoon onlogisch voor mij.

[@Airbuks]

Het heeft een voordelen met bepaalde tunes om in de gaten te houden waarom een shot wat off can zijn . Bv met sommige efficiënte tunes can het zijn dat je plenum niet herlaad omdat er te weinig druk uit het plenum is en daarvoor je volgende schot een drop of raise kan hebben . Bij hogere regulator tunes is dat meestal niet het geval en heb je gelijk . Maar ik ben een gadget freak 😉 en kan er dan beter ook wat andere mee helpen en content creëren 😉

[@songboek]

@@Airbuks Ja je content wordt gewaardeerd!

[@cristianmasnari]

very good, when I have to do something with my Impact I always choose your videos, quick, precise, excellent shots.. the best of the best!!

[@Airbuks]

Thx mate, always welcome if you got questions👍

[@jrlayneoliver]

Thank you for the video. I tried to install mine but had air leaking from the atmosphere release hole; uninstalled after that but after watching your video I will try again and this time I will leave the back regulator gauge in place. I didn’t think to try that way when I tried the first install.

[@Airbuks]

If you have a leak from the atmosphere hole I am afraid you have a regulator oring failing 😬

[@jrlayneoliver]

I tried to reinstall the kit yesterday but it failed and the M3 is headed back to FX for repair. I installed the manometer and got a reg pressure reading at the new gauge but didn’t get a reading at the third gauge. No air was getting to the plenum; uninstalled and then the leak was worse but the gauge in the rear was reading. Regardless, at this point I am sending it back today for FX to get this sorted out; second time I’ve sent it back for leak’s but that’s part of ownership. At least FX is awesome with taking care of their issues with leak’s and what not…

[@Airbuks]

@@jrlayneoliver 🙈 that’s said to hear. It’s just a oring on the regulator that has failed and needs to be replaced

[@johnrambo1349]

Airbuk is right. It sounds like the problem is with the o ring in the reg. Could of easily take the reg out, clean and inspect the o ring and replace of damage. Save money and time shipping it back for a simple fix.

[@tonyhowell5283]

this is the easiest fix - some rifles chew on that Reg Piston Oring - last night I wrecked 2 on my mates impact but mine has never gone - all you need to do is replace NBR 70 4X1.5 Oring on your regulator piston. its the only oring in the rifle that moves back and forth when the reg opens and closes - so I guess it will wear out eventually, - dead easy to do 30 mins max

[@SHShahab]

Thanks for another useful video and instruction . But ....! Did you noticed the action of manometer pointer at 8:02 ?! I think Huma manometer had a problem with even hand tightening !

[@Airbuks]

I think it’s a visual trick to the eye or camera angle that makes it appear to go downwards ( if that’s what you mean ) I have a wika at the back and both read exactly the same pressures so I think the Huma gauge is fine

[@zxveleno]

congratulations for the video ,150 bar to shoot slug in 5.5 ? what slugs can you use with those pressures? Thank you

[@Airbuks]

I use a high regulator pressure because because I like a short air burst for shooting slugs . Is not that I need 150bar to get 30gr slugs to the speed I want but with a high pressure short burst I find that the tune is easier to get right

[@Eddy-Pikes-PikesV4]

Very Well. For the digital FX gauge, I assume the process is the same ?

[@Airbuks]

Yes indeed

[@yozr6]

Great video, well informative, thanks.

[@Airbuks]

[@airrifleshooter.516]

how do you take off an m3 manometer when it is stuck without braking it .. i have the first reg manometer and it is stuck i cant turn it . i have a small leak and only the one under the manometer i did not change . a response would be much apreciated. keep up the good work and thanks in advance.

[@Airbuks]

Best way is to put a hex socket that fits over it to put equal pressure all around

Hi buddy. I just bought impact M3 sniper .22 power block edition..I'm thinking to change the Calibre to .25 .Apart from barell and pellet probe is anything else that i have to change like hammer weight? Etc . Because for my maverick.177 i had to change the hammer weight aswell when i changed the Calibre to .25 .. please advise

[@Airbuks]

Hi , the 22 cal power block edition should have a hammer that is heavy enough

[@lenmalick8640]

Nicely made instruction video. What kind of "Glue" are you using on the o'rings?

[@Airbuks]

The lube I use is a silicone based lube from Huma air used for orings an regulator rebuilds .

[@lenmalick8640]

I didn't actually think it was a glue ;-) but was curious as to what type of lubrication you were using. You've got one of the best channels here. Thanks for the reply.

[@Airbuks]

@@lenmalick8640 thx for the support mate 👌🏻

[@t206n]

I hear air coming out of the atmospheric hole on the angle side. Is that normal? I hand tighten the nanometer as much as I can.

[@Airbuks]

I am afraid that’s a regulator issue 🤔 you might need to change the orings

[@andrewmurray9912]

Hi any tricks to getting the center grub screw out, mine is very tight I'm scared of snapping the Allen wrench in the grub screw.

[@Airbuks]

It maybe glued , so put a Allen key inside and heat that Allen up ( indirect) to soften the glue and the screw should come out

[@andrewmurray9912]

@@Airbuks ok I'll try that tomorrow many thx, I'll let you know how i get on.

[@robertpiontkowski2164]

Thanks for the video!! Is the fill pressure on the 580cc bottle still 250 bar?? And what reg do u watch to see when it falls off ? 1st or 2nd ? Thanks again!!

[@Airbuks]

Yes max 250 bar unless you have a bottle that is rated for 300bar 🤔 I watch the drop off on the second regulator

[@mikewilliams6522]

Got mine in but can’t install the small screw where the air comes out won’t come out it’s like they used red lock tight…

[@Airbuks]

Strange 🤔 you could heat it to loosen the loctide. Best way to do it is to stick a Allen key inside the screw and heat the Allen key so you don’t have to pouts flame directly at your impact . Maybe stupid question but you did bleed the entire system right ?

[@robinsonsitompul9362]

Hi do you know the size of x ring under the manometer? I have leak bcause my xring is broken...

[@Airbuks]

You can find all the correct sizes on the FX website under support . There are schematics with everything you need to know

[@simoncoher4841]

Great video mate ,I like the digital gauges but I wonder how accurate they are ?.

[@Airbuks]

Never tested them myself but i hear good reports about them

[@johnrambo1349]

I'm guessing this won't fit on mk1 and mk2. What a shame. M3 got all the cool stuff like dual reg, 16 point wheel, easy micro adjust on the side, 72cc airtube. Us older impact owner got none. ;(

[@Airbuks]

The angled manometer is exclusively for the M3 as the previous models don’t have the mounting points . But make sure to check the video I made on upgrading the MKII to the M3 with every possible part of the M3

[@TsRide83]

The little screw is stiffer in it then the bigger ones

[@rockyourfaceoff2]

I think it would be more useful for the gauge to read the tank pressure instead of the plenum pressure. To watch and notice BEFORE it drops under reg pressure. Just my thoughts.

[@rockyourfaceoff2]

As always, I thoroughly enjoy your work and time spent on these airgun systems.

[@Airbuks]

Thx

[@Glensen]

How high preassure can you safely have on the second regulator?

[@Airbuks]

I wouldn’t go any higher then 165 bar

[@hightidelowtide6380]

Fx needs to have this guage mod directly from the factory. The underside 2nd reg is in a terrible area. "Finger tight?!" I would not finger tighten a guage with 150 bar pointing at my face. I had to tighten my guage with an adjustable wide-jaw wrench to stop it leaking. Hand tightened with all my strength and it still leaked.If you notice the other guages, they are basically seated all the way in. Remove the plastic guage housing cover and you all will see a surprise.

[@johnrambo1349]

Finger tight is good enough. The o ring is what seals it. I'm guessing you are talking about other pcp cause fx impact do not need to be tighten to stop leaks. Other pcp doesn't use a o ring, they are seal with thread tape and tighten with a wrench.

[@hightidelowtide6380]

@@johnrambo1349 finger tight is not good enough lol. Look at the guages on the rifle, they are almost bottomed out from the factory!

[@hurricaneaquatics]

@@hightidelowtide6380 Bottomed out doesn't mean they are tightened really tight. Could mean they have less threads than the others. Finger tight should be just fine with an o-ring. If you crank down on ANY of these screws in the Impact, you're going to have a very bad day when they strip from overtightening.

[@hightidelowtide6380]

@@hurricaneaquatics I guess you haven't looked at your guages on your Impact M3? I finger-tightened my guage and it wasn't even close to seating-thus leaking. I tightened it all the way down like the factory and zero issues since. Finger tight with an o-ring is hilarious 😂. I guess when I build my engines from now on, I'll finger tight any part using o-rings!!!

[@hurricaneaquatics]

@UCSJDM7QcXDycoDDl1D0mgSw You think what you think and do what you wish. I won't describe to you about threads as it's a technical spec. Anyway, if you Torque down a gauge you have a few issues. One, busted oring, they are made to squish a bit not flatten. Two, stripped threads, as these guns are aluminum and take it from me, if you strip a thread, it's a very bad day. Three, the gauge has no nut to tighten. So how exactly did you bottom them out? If you're going to tell me you gripped the gauge and twisted somehow, that's a great way to damage the gauge. So, up to you friendo.
