How much you know about Sweden? IKEA meat balls?! H&M clothings?! Or... FX Airgun?!
And what do you want from FX?
Dreamline? Crown? Impact? Or other beasts?!
At the very beginning I first time knew about FX was because of the Crown... Love that bottle and cool look so much!! And recently I found the Impact Mark-III, M3... Well.... That's a dream to me... Especially that tiny and CUTE Compact!!
And..... Finally I at least have one of my dreams come true... [emoji38] [emoji38]
For a very nice clearance price I cut opened all my secret pockets, smashed all my piggy banks and thrown in all my airgun spends budgets for the coming10 years.... I got this little guy home from Dear Mr. Travis in AGS... Great guy, great service and great products!
People knows me knows I like to post pictures... Here you are~ It's a.22 caliber Compact M3. 500mm length Smooth Twist X Superior barrel, 300cc mini bottle, comes with the latest Power Plenum 720 kit, quick tune system for power adjustment, 2 regs, 3 gauges, 28 shots mag, adjustable shoulder pad...... A heavy and robust art piece among all the top end airguns.
And what really impressed me was the insane accuracy. As I read and watched videos I know I might need to shoot a LOT for tuning it to my liking... So I started with the cheapo CPHP I just bought for a very good price recently... And surprisingly I think I finished all my tuning (at least for the first stage or say the initial setup) very quick and very pleased with the result.
And the 'side' result is I also done the pellet testing with only the 14.3g CPHP pellet I 'tested' because the M3 puts every shot into the same hole in my basement... I just don't see any need to try any other pellet on it for the moment until I finish my inventory or have the need later... So, I say this gun has insane accuracy AND not picky on diets at all~
Explanation on the zeroing... First shot was aimed at the center of the paper from about 10 feet away just to make sure the POI will be on the paper, not out of the trap. Then back to where I usually shoot and put quite some clicks to adjust the scope turrets after each shot. And finally put a few shots at the bullseye and done the final one/two clicks. At last I aimed at the last hole then put maybe 5 or 6 shots at that hole... Sorry, I lied on the note of the picture, I didn't put 10 shots in that hole... anyway I just kept shooting at that same hole and without doubt I can finish all the remained maybe 15 pellets in the mag at that same hole too... I just stopped checking it and called it done~
The gun has great power... When I followed my need to tune it for indoor plinking which for just less than 10 yards and need to lower down the noise I developed another side result...
Now my M3 is on min quick tune output with 3 lines showed on valve setting. I didn't touch the regs so they are the FX recommended 150bar and 100bar without changes then giving me 16fpe, about 710fps and have good power to penetrate the compressed pop can even when hitting at the bottom rim plus noise level just similar to my other guns... Actually the most noise from hitting the can not from the gun... But they are similar... Not as quite as the PP700 but much quiter than the Reximex RP (both of these two couldn't shoot the pellet through the bottom rim of the pop can).
The side result is I think I can have more than 200 shots pre fill on that mini bottle (factory spec is 110 shots). Actual number from 210bar came home and shot to 150bar I got 112 shots done (4 mags). Hand pumping is a challenge as I had to take a break when I done with 120 strokes, then after break I put another 50 strokes and total 170 strokes made it from 150bar to 240bar... However thinking I can then have 200 shots, It's still not too bad....
The gun is heavy! My buddy Tom warmed me about that before I gave my money to Travis... But thinking the gun and me are both rested shooting king (means trush when shooting not rested... [emoji38] ) and I have other guns heavier than it so I think I am okay...
However still have to mention this... Again... The gun is HEAVY...
I have a Discovery big but not too big FFP scope for it and the total weight then is about 8lbs.
Sounds not too heavy, right? But it's a Compact, means it's small... So it's actually more heavier than it sounds... Feels like a piece of solid steel in hand~
And 'thanks' to the slim AR15 type grip, it's not very comfortable when you need to bring it around... Maybe with a tactical glove on hand will feel better~ (the soldiers usually won't shoot their ARs with bare hands right?! Gloves and boots are essential PPE, right?
)
Will keep on enjoying this new toy with my plinking fun and fine tuning it to see if I can get a better result~
And I also done an interesting size comparison in the afternoon plus took some extra pictures I am going to share below... It's really small.... Very small... Smaller than all my rifles and carbines... So, I don't like it... I am just loving this cute boy soooo much~
Look at the cute boy just half of the size of the HW35 I wanna laugh every time~ [emoji38]
Enjoy the eye candies~ Thanks for reading~
(Please kindly share your experience on tuning this Lego gun! Much appreciated and thanks a lot in advance~)
