UPGRADE to AMP 2 REGULATOR : FX IMPACT M3

In this video I am upgrading my AMP regulator with the new brass piston.
Im testing the difference between the standard 16 mm plastic piston and the brass piston in both fill time and spread.
Enjoy

I like the idea of brass over plastic so I am going to swap it over. I found running my first reg higher than the 20-30 fx recommend more like 40-50 difference between the two reg's made my dev come down.

@davidbraswell1481 7 ай бұрын

also polishing the hammer spring as well as the hammer and the other moving parts in the gun will bring the deviation come way down I can get 10 same shots on my dynamic .25 express after polishing those parts, and when they start creeping up do it again.

Thanks for the nice video. Can you tell which grip you used and did it fit by default with the bag rider? Also, in the first part of the video (0:20) did you have a different first stage regulator?

@VikingAirgunner Жыл бұрын

I believe it is an Ergo Tactical Deluxe grip and it works well with the bag rider. It was mounted on my first Impact that I bought used, so I just kept switching it over to my new guns😃 What you can see it the dual bottle adapter ☝️ I took it off after mounting the power block 🙂

Nice. If you want faster plenum refills you’ll need to delete the first reg.

@VikingAirgunner Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the raising it would do it. With the Mk2 I had bigger spread when the bottle had 250-230 bar. After that it was better.

@dg9bfc 3 ай бұрын

main thing is accurate.. not how fast the regulator fills but how EXACT it is same on the hammer valve... How much variation in FPS you see (at best ZERO) and in what settings your groups are the smallest (shooting hole in hole)

same here. Impact is 1.5 yr old, fired about 10k pellets. regs are 175 and 135. I just ordered a new set for both regs as mine have started failing, creep.

Hi. What is the factory piston on the fx impact M3 power block, brass or plastic? I have not opened the regulator. I have a 20 fps difference but shooting at 100 meters 3.1 cm.

@VikingAirgunner 8 ай бұрын

The new AMP regulators has the brass piston. The big spread can occour on a new regulator - I just had the same thing happening on my new Panthera. What you can do is to take out the regulator and lube up the o-rings and springs and perhaps also polish the springs (lightly) That helped me and thanks to this my spread has gone down to almost nothing🙂

I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but I've been hesitant to do it. Now I have no doubts and will do it. And at the same time I will install hummer weight 8,5 grams from Huma-Air. Also was bought a long time ago, but after your video about hammers decided to install. I shoot with homemade slugs 30 gr 5,5 mm. Barrel 700 mm.

Hi Peter , i just installed the gen 3 2nd regulator from huma air . i bought the high pressure version (100/200bar ) I increased the 1st regulator to 180 bar and the 2nd reg to 150bar but if i unscrew the bottle now the whole system degasses ,1st and 2nd reg drop to zero . Normaly the 2nd stays under pressure . Velocity is not consistent . What could be the problem.

@VikingAirgunner Ай бұрын

Usually the preasure remains in the plenum, so I cant really say. But I would rather have it like you instead of not being able to degass the plenum 🤔

@guydnls387 Ай бұрын

@@VikingAirgunner HI Peter i solved the problem . I took the reg back out and found a peace of debris between the bellvillewachers , i think it was a peace of o-ring so i changed the o-ring in the block and put it back together. checked for leakes and tested and now i see the spread that you saw in youre video 🙂. Thanks for youre answer

It might need to be lubed. You can also gently polish the springs. Those two things usually helps 👍

@Fernando_Woolybooger Жыл бұрын

Since I put the brass piston in my M3, it will always creep up exactly 5 bar if it sits for a couple of hours or longer. Even if it sits 2 or 3 weeks, exactly 5 bar. One shot and it drops 5 bar and stays there until it is stored again. That 5 bar doesn't really affect my zero, so I'm not concerned at this point.

@VikingAirgunner Жыл бұрын

Almost the same here and Im not worried either 😃

@johnrambo1349 10 ай бұрын

How the hell do you even see 5 bars on the gauge. Plus these small gauges are not accurate. So your 5 bar means nothing.

@@danielwayn it has been a while since I shot the 500 mm and I cant really remember my settings, but still 120 bar seem high. Have u seen my tuning video? The method there is to have a max velocity about 20-25 fps above the desired velocity. So in your case 1005-1010 fps. If your max is above this you can turn down the reg and get more shots. If not you are fine 🙂
