I have the .177 MK1 version, it is totally untouched unmolested and factory set since day 1. It has from the start been totally reliable, put pellet on pellet comfortably at 60yds and still take Rabbits at various ranges. So how much more accuracy do you need ? other then you fancy another Gun ... Simple. I also own a Daystate Pulsar, 2 completely different styles but both equally as accurate as each other under the same conditions. The Pulsar with all the night equipment fitted is heavy so it's used within a hide, the Impact super light and great for ambling round the fields. Love them both.
My M3s' 1st regular creeps really bad. Within 3 minutes. And within 24 hours it will creep to the bottle pressure, whatever it may be at the time. I told Utah Airguns (where I purchased the new M3) about it. And they sort of blew me off as if was no big deal. Saying, oh don't worry about it, all M3s do that. Such a sour transaction. The 1st rifle was damaged (.25 cal) I sent it back to be replaced and they sent me a .22 that they converted to a .25 using a used .25 barrel liner. (I know it started out as a .22 from the factory by referencing the label and serial numbers.) 2k+ for a Frankenstein rifle with used parts. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, sorry for the rambling, l just needed to do a little venting before I blew out an oring.
I just call utah airguns this morning about the same problem the 1st Regulator creeps alot it moves from 130 to 160 and it takes like 1 minute to settles and when it settles it settles at different pressures. There gonna send a new Regulator for replacement.
My M3 started doing the same thing and I was told the same thing, I’m having the first useless reg removed and its gauge today, I have both the MK2 and I’ve never had any issues out of my MK2, so I’ll basically have an MK2 and “MK3” The first reg is probably beneficial for lower speeds, my M3 is in .30 From what I’m seeing… the first reg and gauge are useless in the M3
You don’t even need the first regulator. Many of the hardcore airgun guys just take it out. That said the aftermarket has addressed these issues and you can get a HUMA reg made for the m3 if you wish to keep the first regulator
i also have a new M3 (UK Sub 12ft lbs) in the last 6 weeks i have had to send it back twice!, (bent barrel - pellets clipping the moderator, the magazine fell apart twice, using excessive amounts of air.........not impressed.
