[@tonyrebelo3038]

Great work as usual Jake, and very enlightening! It's good to know about the other portential causes of innacuracy, and/or pellet damage, as most of us tend to suspect a faulty mag, or misalinged pellet probe in the fist instance.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks Tony, yeah it can be a lot of different factors, thanks for watching.

[@PaulSmith-jr1qe]

Hi, I've bought a new transfer port for my Wildcat hoping to cut down the number of parts with the potential to move or expand differently so I bought the longer brass version that replaces the brass & steel with one peice, I presume there is an O ring to be fitted internally although on first viewing I can't see a recess for it, if there is how do you get it in position so deep inside ?

[@sub12airgunners]

i think that these have a very slight taper so no need for the o ring 😀

[@PaulSmith-jr1qe]

I'm glad to hear it, Thanks.@@sub12airgunners

[@MrRockstar1968]

Nice job. Would have been good to seen footage of the accuracy of pellets beforehand and after the polishing to see the difference.

[@sub12airgunners]

It's just something we do to all FX barrels sometimes it makes a big difference and sometimes very little it just depends on the port some are better than others 👍

Having issues removing the transfer port. Heated it up to loosen the glue but it just rotates in my vice. Any suggestions?

[@derekdemarco1680]

Hi got a question for you av tried FB and the gun shop can't get an answer maybe you can help I got a brand new FX Crown mk2 177 the transfer port low med and hi doesn't turn is this because its sub 12 or should it turn ?? thanks for any help/ info Derek

[@allanclark7085]

Another great and informative video. Are you still making the brass FX reg pistons, if so can you let me know where I can get a couple.

For a £1500 quid air rifle I would want this done at factory. Enlightening.

[@sub12airgunners]

Would be nice, although to be fair no rifle manufacturer really does that sort of thing outside the comp rifle makers, still a nice mod to do though. Thanks for watching.

[@hankvana2149]

Thanks for posting this! Anything that helps get the pellet into the bore without damage is a good thing! I've always wondered how much damage the pellet gets from being repeatedly bashed by the shuttle and scuffed around the inside of the magazine.

[@sub12airgunners]

All depends on the mag to be honest, I have had mags that destroy pellets flattening the skirts and damaging the sides, but then other mags are perfect, I think its just how lucky you are. Thanks for watching.

[@mikecleaver00006]

Excellent video. Just a quick question how easy is it to remove the transfer port with the loctite on the thread and do you put some back on when you reassemble? Keep up the great work.

[@mikecleaver00006]

Ps forgot to mention my pellets are very jerky when they are pushed in.

[@lassesarnhult9283]

Hello again from a novice air gunner. I am going to install a adjustment for hammer spring in my Impact but when I try to pull out the C3 it feels spring loaded and just want to spring back in again. Is that something that is on sub 12 and in my case 10 joule? When I look at others doing the same thing they just pull the rod out. Is it something in the plenum to help with low power?

[@sub12airgunners]

Yeah the low power models have a valve return spring in the plenum, so its spring loaded. On the fac models they don't have this. Thanks for watching.

[@lassesarnhult9283]

@@sub12airgunners So if I upgrade my Impact with power plenum and higher power I can take it away? is it ok to leave it in? I only have 2mm hole in the transfer port is it the same in sub 12`?

[@sub12airgunners]

@@lassesarnhult9283you would leave it out when upgrading to the power plenum, its not needed. Yes the 2mm hole is standard for .22 sub 12 it allows you to swap between .177 and .22 without touching the power settings. Thanks for watching.

[@lassesarnhult9283]

[@iantcroft]

Another great video thanks 👍🏻 I have just received an impact M3 sniper .22 (fac) and taken my first 50 shots today! Weather was appalling not a good testing at all! Still, I expected it to group slightly better than it did. I understand these kind of need running/settling in first but after that, what are the first things you would do to achieve greatest accuracy? Thanks.

[@sub12airgunners]

Impacts are very strange rifles, they take a lot more bedding in that regular ones in my experience, first thing to do would be a proper barrel clean, next find a pellet / slug and tune the speed for the best results, after that if your still not happy a little barrel polish/ experiment with different liners. Thanks for watching

[@iantcroft]

@@sub12airgunners Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I will put a few tins of pellets through first to settle things then see if cleaning has any affect. Thanks again.

[@mohammadfaizulsunar6780]

What diameter size that tranfer port.?

[@leightucker1842]

Hi another great video, You transfer port hole in the barrel looks to be oval have you done that or is it a bought item? On my dream tac it is just a round hole. It look very restricted!!

[@sub12airgunners]

If its a .22 then it will be very restricted, but this is the .177 port and its standard, they restrict the hole so you can swap between calibers without altering settings on the rifles in sub 12. Thanks for watching.

[@Seasoned_noob]

I had bad issues with accuracy due to this, polishing it does wonders.

[@sub12airgunners]

Its the little things that add up, really does help on some rifles. Thanks for watching

[@markmagnus4798]

What is the size on your transfer port?

[@sub12airgunners]

from memory it's 3.4 x 4.8😁

[@markmagnus4798]

What caliber is it?

[@jaytee8188]

Nice vid Jeff, thanks. To inspect the pellet after loading maybe you only need to remove the mag but the rod could very easily damage head, don’t you think? Cheers and thanks again. John.

[@sub12airgunners]

The rod can damage the head, but to be honest the main thing we are looking for is damage to the sides and skirt of the pellet, the head face is quite unimportant, in this test anyway, Thanks for watching

FX Smooth Twist X Superior Liners are not standard for all models, some use STX in .177. I wonder why.

[@sub12airgunners]

They should be standard now, the new liners have it laser engraved on the side of the liner, older rifles won't have the markings but the newer liners have the superior markings on the barrel. Thanks for watching

[@Jknox]

Thanks, FX need to update their website.

[@sub12airgunners]

[@Gubson]

Kind of bad QC leaving an expensive weapon to the customer in that state. But they know people like to do tweaks like this, taking the job off fx's shoulders.

[@sub12airgunners]

yes i agree 👍

[@Stormcloakvictory]

Great video as usual, tho if we wanna be nitpicky, after all the work carefully polishing brass, it might not be the best idea to use a sharp steel tipped pin to push the inner o-ring in, or be very careful not to touch any polished brass at all. Every contact between steel and brass, brass loses. Maybe as a precaution use a wooden pick? For like shish kebab/shashlik. Yes splinters would be a B. But they can be cleaned out and you can touch the polished brass as much you want.

[@marcdavis2840]

plastic knitting needle works a treat 😀 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

If your careful its not something to worry about, your not poking the brass just the o ring, you can use tooth pics or cocktail sticks if your worried, but I get them out with a sharp pointy thing and put them back with the same tool as long as your not putting excess pressure or trying to force it these no chance of slipping and even doing it for the camera is pretty easy.
