Thanks for showing the install brother. I'm new to this whole pcp shooting and because of your video I now know the pellet/slug port isn't attached to the liner, but rather the liner is inserted into the port. Two things, both have been said before in the comments. Epoxy the sleeve to the liner will definitely stiffen up the liner even more and before removing the liner one should mark/index it so you don't change your POI, like you saw when shooting the second group. The best index for the liner is where the impacts are above your POI.

This modification helped me positively in my Impact .30 700mm, since I work at high regulations 165 bar - NSA 61g at 1000fps and that is when the difference is most noticeable, with lower regulations the rifle works with less stress and vibrations are less . Nice video 👍

That goes right along with what I have been thinking for a while Tom. The faster and heavier the projectile, the more "whip" at the end of the barrel. One probably would not need the stiffeners with lower speed lighter pellets (although it is STILL worth the money to eliminate the orings), but as you go up in energy you should see advantages to using stiffer materials that also can absorb some of that energy to reduce it. Wish I had a high speed camera to actually shoot different variations with the gun locked in place to show it.

to best see if it works for you and give it a real chance, shoot off a bench, little to no wind. whatching you shoot, you were kind of all over the place shooting off that rail. generaly i watch the pellet go where you aiming when you pulled the trigger and some times you were off dead center when you sqeezed the trigger. you can get away with timming your sway for hunting not with target shooting but thanks anyway for posting

Thanks for the video! I finally actually saw the whole process of installing the carbon sleeve so I can be more confident when doing mine. ;-) I suggest much more stable position and gun support for group shooting. If you slow down this video the gun shot all the pellets exactly where you point it. At such a short distance even with the wind it's pretty much one hole gun. The group you see - no offense - reflects your shooting skills, not the gun accuracy. Enjoy your gun, keep shooting and the improvements will come along. ;-)

Great idea, but one oring is not enough to take up all the space. I put like 3 or 4 orings on the rear and a few on the front. Things are solid that way. I also put a thiccc oring between my barrel shroud and rail support to stiffen it up further. She's a tack driver!

I was wondering if you had a 500 mm FX impact barrel and you wanted to increase it to 600 mm can you just buy the liner and just get a barrel extender to save money?
@airshootist
@airshootist 25 дней назад
Best bet is to buy the whole barrel/caliber change kit. You need more than just the liner. You need the longer barrel housing (at a minimum) and longer shroud. You can't just put a 600mm liner in a 500mm system. The change kit comes with the transfor port, too, and it's all assembled so you could easily swap lengths via one Allen screw. Hit up Tom at www.myhighpressureair.com and tell him I sent ya. He'll get you taken care of.

@@airshootist What is your opinion? I received two different opinions on this question. If you have the STX Superior liner one person told me that you can shoot only 22 caliber slugs with it if you're going to shoot 25 caliber or 30 caliber then you need to upgrade to the heavy liner but somebody else told me that you can still use this liner with 25 or 30 caliber slugs. I suspect it's ideal in both cases to purchase the slug power kit with tungsten hammer?
@airshootist
@airshootist 25 дней назад
​@surreallife777 I shoot lighter weight slugs up to 25gr all day from my standard liner in my Maverick and it shoots perfect. In my Panthera I have a slug liner and shoot 30gr with sub MOA accuracy. I'd say if you're gonna shoot like 27gr or higher in .22 go with the Slug liner. I am against tungsten hammers as they beat up your gun. I'm not versed in .25 caliber but I can tell you for sure the standard 30 cal liners shoot hybrids and even heavier slugs really well. We had trouble with the 30 cal heavy liner getting it to shoot anything well so went with a standard liner on one of the Dynamics and it fixed our accuracy issues

Even if it didn't make a difference in accuracy, at least now you don't have to deal with barrel Orings anymore. Worth $30 to me! I have 2 coming. 22 & 25. I may use adhesive to stiffen further and be done with it. (Think "plywood")
@airshootist

Thanks for droppin' in, Byran. I'd say totally worth it for 30 bones. I don't think you really need the adhesive but you could probably get a tiny degree more stiffness with it. Later on I will do some more shooting when it isn't like 5 degrees out to give it more of an assessment. Cheers and happy New Year!

I am considering getting a Maverick and would like to ask you what you think of it now that you have had it quite a while? What are the positives and negatives? I am considering a Maverick or Impact M3.
@airshootist
@airshootist Год назад
Well, let me tell you, the Maverick is my favorite FX platform. That's why I have two of them. Compared to the Impact, which is a phenomenal gun that I also own, the Maverick offers an easier ownership experience in terms of tuning and maintenance while still maintaining the legendary accuracy you've come to expect from FX. The Maverick has something like 13 or 14 sealing o-rings while the Impact has like 37. That makes the Maverick WAY easier to work on. Its brilliance is in its simplicity. Also the Maverick has a 89cc plenum to the Impact's 72cc's - so it is capable of huge power - although so is the Impact due to the advanced valving - but the Maverick can do it at very low pressure. Also, unlike the Impact, the Maverick's dual regs are both externally adjustable for easy tuning, and the tuning itself is easier than the Impact due to far fewer things to mess with. However, the Impact is a lot lighter and more wieldy, a lot of that has to do it being shorter (in same barrel length) than the Maverick because the barrel goes back further. The Impact is also not as tall. You can't go wrong with either gun but if you are newer to high-end PCPs I'd recommend the Maverick 100%. It is also about 500 bucks cheaper. Hope this helps!

Not sure if barrel indexing is snake oil or not. Some say it is, some say it's not. Either way it seems pretty hard to do because the barrel ("Liner") spins as you thread in the barrel nut, I've noticed. What I did do was put small orings in front and behind the carbon sleeve to take up any slack. I also put a few big orings between my shroud and the receiver to stiffen things up even more.

I haven't tested it past the few shots in this video. Initial thoughts are there is no improvement in accuracy - however, as I said in the video - the benefit here may be that your barrel will not be as susceptible to being knocked around and losing POI. The barrel does feel stiffer to the touch. Will be testing over the life of the gun and hopefully I'll have some more observations to report soon. Thanks for watching!
