Cm76 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi guys sorry if this has been covered before. Recently purchased the above gun and it appears to have a leaking seal as over a couple of days it loses most of the air. Question is have any of you worked on these guns before if so what are they like it doesn’t appear to bad looking on YouTube but them guys can no doubt do it with their eyes closed or should I send it to an expert. Cheers for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Obvious thing to say is if its new, send it back to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 hello, as above if you purchased new it should have a warranty, if you purchased S/H from a private source that is a different matter but they a quite new to the market, you could get back to the seller and see what they say, failing that contact Simon the gunsmith at ASI, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie to this Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) If you feel confident then go for it, if not get it to a professional. On another thought, do FX supply their warranty on the product or just to the first buyer? Edited January 4, 2019 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 So the fx impact was known to have leeking issues (to the point where black pool air guns stopped stocking,them ) Thats a big thing . The newer ones are supposed to be better but this is only over the last 6 months in the uk . You could send back to asi or a company like airfective . My money would go with asi (just ) The fx wildcat is simpler and leaks a lot less . Personally i wouldnt mess about inside the impact (and im fine stripping pcps and tuning them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Give Tony a ring at A-S-I great bloke to deal with , I have dealt with him many a time and always been very good Some one I know sent his impact to airfective ,away for a few weeks and cost a few hundred notes but came back leaking The impact is a very easy gun to work on so you could do it yourself but on this occasion send it of for a full service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the farrier Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have no problems with the service offered at AirFective tuning, my .22 FX Streamline FAC was shooting like a dream this morning.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
