@ 2K + for one, there should be NO “common leaks” and ZERO “fixing” ANYTHING!

THIS is by FAR the best and most needed video regarding leaks on the M3. Labeling each O-ring with the size is so appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Merci, pour votre vidéo...et après l'avoir regardée, j'ai repris ma FX IMPACT M3 en .177/4.5 mm car depuis 7 mois que je l'ai achetée, j'ai eu quelques problèmes en plus des fuites. Donc, je l'avais laissée sur le côté par déception à mon avis. Avec le même produit "SOUDAL" j'ai eu la même fuite que sur cette vidéo et en plus une autre fuite au manomètre du régulateur No 1. Après un gonflage à 210 Bar, le fusil perdait 10 Bar par 24 Hrs...J'ai démonté le tout, nettoyé, remis les mêmes joints mais avec un peu de graisse. Pour le moment le problème semble résolu. Encore merci...

Good video! I had the last one from the "109" O-ring kit leak. The air exited the rear block at the bolt under the magazine holder. The magazine holder let the air out where I didn't expect it. The leak detector spray failed to detect it. So I submerged it in a tub of water. :) The air exited at the magazine release.

This diving was not a good idea! One of the pressure gauges was damaged... It is impossible to get rid of water with compressed air!
I did not see any damage on the o-ring in question. The metal parts were also intact. So I cleaned the notch and lubricated the o-ring with silicone grease. I put it back on and it no longer leaked. Probably some dirt had gotten under the o-ring.

It is good to see your channel growing my Friend!! and you fully deserve it, cause you have given so much to the community with your in depth "How To" vids and making us better understand on how to approach and handle our airguns, being FX, Edgun etc. All though being into airgun since being a kid, watching other airgun Gurus, I have to confess, that I have learned so much checking out your vids, and now feeling totally confident in splitting my guns apart....and if i get stuck, I just start one of your vids up on the pad and follow your instructions! Thanks again Mate and looking forward to some good vids in 2023. 💪🏻🙏🏻

Great video, I got here because I installed the new hammer and huma dual transfer port, and now I have a big leak. Probably from the bottle oring from taking it off? Not sure yet. The only other time I had a big leak was from the tiny vent hole in the back of the main gauge, it may be leaking through the actual gauge and not the threaded seal area. Just one more point of a possible leak for everyone to check.

I thought it was the best in the world as well till recently. I have the exact same setup as you have on the video but in .25cal FAC in the UK. I purchased it in January 2023 and it went back to the distributor at the end of April 2023. They still have it under repair till this day now 21 weeks later.

You really break it down nicely and make anyone with common sense feel they can do what you do with confidence to there FX. I have had my Impact2 for six years since the day I bought it I have never had a problem with it until three days ago, at 30 yards, my 30 calibre pellet dropped 5 inches from zero, and the pellet stuck in the wood, which normally goes cleanly through it. I also noticed my gauge on the bottom of the power block reads zero. Anyways I have been wanting to add the 720 plenum and power block to catch up with the M3. It should arrive next week from Huma Air. So I decided to do your leak test started from back to front and a truly thank you for making this video ! was starting to get nervous. I finally found a small leak in my fill port. Just so you know I don’t lose any pressure on my bottle gauge. It stayed steady for four days. just has no power to shoot properly. I am truly hoping with my new 720 on its way to secure this problem if you have any input looking forward to it. Thanks again sincerely Gun Smith, Dave

A really good and simple video to check your Impact. I use leak detector spray as it is 10 times more precise than soapy water.

[michaelpintal]

Very true, it is very intimidating but if you have a mechanical ability it's not so bad, I tore mine down and it wasn't as bad as it seems and I feel very comfortable doing it now, love the videos on leaks, very informative

[zaegonz]

I love my m3 i feel like there's nothing on the market that comes close. Thanks for the video very helpful and can actually help save some money buy not having to ship out gun to have it serviced. Thanks again!!

[thegoats]

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately my new-ish M3 started a very slow leak too. Just so happens it's in the same spot as yours. Your video was very helpful. FX should do something about this issue

[khexkyi]

all o Rings fail after a while good video because these guns are pretty expensive and expensive to repair

[LeventKugu]

Thanks to you, I found the air leak in my rifle, thank you very much 😘

[whiteykauai]

Thank you for this vid! I was about to give up and send my 4 yr old MK2 to Utah Airguns when an fb friend sent me this video link. After taking my gun apart numerous times to solve air draining out of the rifle and replacing regulator o-rings. The Valve Rod o-rings at 10:12 seems to have solved the problem. Thanks again!

[richardmechler]

Another EXCELLENT helpful video! Thank you, sir!

[chrisfigueroa]

Yep it is a very versatile gun but they do leak I use snoop leak detector thanks for sharing bsafe buddy 👍and yep that leak is always there sorry I don't know about your gun but even changing for a whole new reg it still leaks I think its because i have mine over 150 bar that's why fx says not to move that front reg screw over 150 bar ....hope you get that sorted out my friend the first reg that came with my gun from factory I could tell that the machining was different from the new one fx usa sent me it looks totally different I'm talking about the holes and stuff like that from the original reg ...I have it deleted at the moment but plan on putting back the new one once I get my 700cc bottle 300 bar then I'll install the new one hope it doesn't leak ty again very good info 👍5 0rings in that first reg

[recklessjunkie]

How do you not have 100k plus subs your channel is top notch quality in terms of production !

[hotchihuahua]

I totally agree with you on the flexibility of the Impact line, you can come very close to the M3 .
It’s not without a cost though . Saber Tactical and Huma - Air love me . 😂
Good video for checking leaks, thanks .
