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.

    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.

    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 ?

    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?

    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.

    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.
