FINALLY: Testing FX Impact M3 with a Lothar Walther Polygonal Barrel on Indoor Range 

You are a positive plus for the airgun community !

YES i've been shooting with LW polygonal barrel in .177 and i'm so impressed with its perfomance. The last group is awesome!! So tight at 61.

Wow, great video sir! You are quite fortunate to have this access for testing. We too are fortunate to see testing done in this environmentally friendly setting. Thank you & your friend! 👍

Amazing channel. I love these types of videos. Testing different types of things (in this case barrels) really helps others in the airgun community. Thanks brother. God bless you.

Wow, the Zan’s were outstanding! I love the idea of shooting indoor to get things perfected so outdoors it’s about reading the wind! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video, what a great indoor facility.👍👍

16:10 are U kidding me ???? Those are dangerous precise !!

Great video ! Thank you for sharing and that was an awesome group !

Fantastic Video! I fitted the LW Classic Barrel 1:17.7 twist! ZAN 13gr at 840fps also 9mm group at 40m… Thank you for sharing… If I was not camera shy I would like to post a video also…

I have a TJ barrel and a Lathor Walther barrel in .357. I went with the TJ barrel, but no choke because....well, there was no reason just went with it first. The difference was felt and saw immediately at the range. It didn't matter what I shot in it. Groups were tight at all ranges. I need to find someone to turn my LW barrel. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Looks pretty spectacular to me.

Excellent test! It's something I always wanted to see. How does an impact behave with a LW. What would be very good to see would be a versus in the same conditions of a liner versus a lw. congratulations, friend!

Nice job on the barrel, testing, and video. Thank you.

Awesome rang. As always, I enjoyed your video. Zan slugs? Enough said.

Excellent Effort 🎉 Thank you!

Excellent video Peter - quite amazing result with Zans, despite no harmonic tuner etc. I think I'd spend half my time looking at the machinery & the parts, and half my time shooting - if I was allowed in there 😀

Very good video ! That was very nice of your friend to allow you to shoot indoor. What make if your single shot loader ?

gracias ,trato de no perder ningunos de tus testing con los m3 a .177 in ,jejejeje gracias por todo

Hello Peter, Your videos are great and very informative. I also shoot Slugs from a Lothar-Walther Polygon barrel without a choke and am very happy with it. I now have the opportunity to buy a Polygon barrel with a choke and wanted to ask you whether this makes sense and whether the accuracy might be even better as a result. Of course I would have to test it out, but I am still interested in whether a choke is an improvement. Best regards Andy

Very nice. Not as expensive as i thought it would be!😊

For your tight groups, you should play with your velocity by a few fps either higher or lower for harmonics in order get your groups even tighter

At 9:47 most hospitals used that type of filing cabinet system to store medical records....years before electronic medical records. Also at 11:37 your trigger looks like it would fire the gun if a gnat landed on it.

Finally we see some important stuff!!!!! Did U shoot some Diabolos at that range???? NICE Vid !!!!!

Great Videos always, I like your approach, passion, and methodology!. It would be very interesting to test this Barrel with heavier slugs?

Awesome video and awesome results!!!!! Those 13grainers are like a laser beam!! Can’t wait to see what you can achieve with the heavier slugs!! In the process of having an 800mm TJ slug barrel & shroud machined for my .30 caliber Vulcan 3. It’s either going to be EPIC!! or an expensive failure LOL!!! Crossing my fingers!

Really enjoy your content Peter. Keep up the great and interesting content! Thank you.

Awesome video. I saw that you chose the polygon style choked barrel. Now I wonder how a polygon unchoked, 12 groove choked, 12 groove unchoked would have done in comparison. I might say its a moot point considering the great results you got with the poly unchoked barrel. But doesn't it make you wonder? Lol. I do! As always, thanks for sharing all the data that you do. Much appreciated.

Not at all surprised by the accuracy of the ZAN slugs. I use the 23grn 5,5mm slugs. I used to weigh them all, just to be sure. They are the most consistent slugs I have ever seen. At most a 1/10th grain difference between them. While H&N or JSB have some times several with a difference of a whole grain. That is way too much and not acceptable I think. ZAN all the way! ( love the channel btw)

I’m sorry if I missed it but I’m curious what your “base” settings (reg, macro/micro, valve) are, and how you adjust velocity during these tests. I assume just with the micro but….thankx! I have learned a lot from you!

its really nice 2 see your videos, interesting and getting knowledge about .177 cal, but from the last 30 years i dont shoot below 10shoots min sir, thanks, i have made some videos my self on fx impact .22 fac and .25cal

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for the effort but really only matters if comparing between LW and FX barrels.

I got two guns with same barrel as you. 177 LW polygonal choked barrel 60.5 cm. Both guns loves the newer NSA 15gr (950 - 975 fps). Newer nsa has different shape than the older one, but still weights the same. Also, did you season your barrel when you switch between different slugs? I found seasoning the barrel can drastically increase the grouping size. Some guns or slugs only need 5-10 shots with newer ammo until groups good, some needs 50-100 shots, some also needs pristine clean barrel without any old ammo materials left in the barrel.

Great video. I really enjoy all yours. I only shoot pellets are pellets going by the wayside? Well thanks again and keep up the great work. By the way you will never be called a cheat.

Very good using a broom

Where did you get the single shot loader. First time I've seen the particular type.

You need to try the 20 grains now 😃

Can you show us what you did to the breech end of the barrel? Did you machine it with a port and grooves for orings or did you machine it to accept the original or the Huma Air port, please show us what and how you did it

well, hello sir nice 2 see your new experiment in door, but if u dont mind u should have tried 5 shoots plus+ ,i think so, if u dont mind sir, it would have been more better in my thoughts, hope u will give it try, pls dont mind , thanks

The video is very impressive, my impact has never been very precise at low powers, the liners are not suitable. Where can you get one of those barrels for 4.5?. Thank you in advance.

Hi Peter. Very interesting video. I wish i could order a LW liner😢 Could you please tell me how much for everything in this liner? Have a nice day😊 /Rolf

That zan group at 60 was tight.

Awesome video! Where can I order one of those solid barrels?

Where did you get that barrel from can you send me the link.. I love to get one

Hello, why don’t you try hn 20 grain slugs. I have very good results with them on dreamline power pup with weihrauch 177 barrel. According to my experience the slug barrels with twist around 1:17 the longer and heavier slug the better result.

I have a LCS SK-19 in .25 caliber but can not find a slug that the LW Polygonal choked barrel likes. It shoots FX 34 grain pellets @ 960 FPS lights out but no luck with slugs sir. Do you have any suggestions on a slug that may work? It seems to me that the slugs from JSB and NSA .250 dia not only fit loose in the magazine but also in the barrel and give me a shotgun pattern even at 25 yards at any speed. The gun is a MOA @ 100 gun with FX pellets but doing pest control the pests see my truck and run or fly away to 150 yards and farther. I need a slug to make my customers happy. Can you help sir?

Muy,muy bueno.

Hi!! Are those barrels already compatible with the m3 or is it necessary to customize them? I didnt have time to see the entire video yet so im sorry if im asking a dumb question😅

how to order ser that gun...my dream airgun 🔫

Does anyone know the thread size for the brass transfer port to screw onto.

👍🏻😊

where i can order this lw blanks?

So you dident try any of the heavier slugs this time ? Not that i think it will be any better.

I bet the drinkers out there will love this video, as that name for us Europeans sounds like shits port (port being the fortified red wine!)- as in from the back end!!!

LW barrel and CZ barrel are much better then Fx liner due to some reasons As we know better🤣

Lothar Whalter its just amazing barrels i have a 7.92x39mm soviet cartridge barrel in 17.2 inch i think is that size i know it have at least 17 inches in a Czech Arms VZ. 58 and is just ridicolous accurate for that cartridge with S&B, Barnaul, Hinterberger, FMN, PPU all of this medium and high range ammo and its just great its capable of at least 1.5 moa at 100 meters or less i got 1.3 groups consistent at 2500 fts/sec a little bit more just 30 to 50 feet and the results are amazing far one of the best and the FNH barrels to great stuff a bit pricier but it worth it every pennie great quality manufecter. I hope LW make a 7.65x25mm Mauser barrel or a compact gun in the 100mm or 105mm barrels and a .30 Luger 7.85x21.59mm one of the best calibres for me old but gold they were develop in the golden age of transition in firearms to smokless powder and alot of testing was put on them and i hope the 8x33mm Kurz patrone could get in the future to mass prodution with higher pressure cartridges and new powders its just the perfect cartridge and a 8.25x23.50mm intermidiate cartridge neck down case from the .223 cal. But thats my dreams and Europe should develop a true intermidiate cartridge we have this capability in a 6.36x46.60mm cartridge with a load out of at 66.000 psi max and a 93 grain to 117 grains reaching the optimum weight and velocity going past that is going back a 90 to 110 grain bullet is proved to be the best weight to power ratio and case capacity to reach at least a decent velocity from a 16inch or 380mm to 420mm barrel lenght armies just have to stop this nonsense of 11inch barrels and even less its ridicolous a good barrel lenght have to be at least 400mm or 17.6 inch for good velocity and is not that big and a 6.36mm bullet in diameter seems to have great low drag and diameter to load decent 93 to 110 grains and thats all you need if a rifle go to that 900meters/sec or 3000ft/sec from a 17.6inch barrel with increase pressure but just mac 10% for barrel integraty and recoil but will be enough for a great cartridge for 50 years no big military experience company have done or a joint development from several institucions a new true intermidiate cartridge

Nice ! Fint skyde-sted 🙂 Super at nogle er villige til at stille deres haller til rådighed (jeg har selv haft flere haller til disposition i årevis). Mvh Happy
