Nah, got to be honest, all these 'new age' air rifles aint for me. Don't care what they can do. Really don't like all this tactical/army or whatever based stuff

You're kidding right? They are aimed at people who wear camo to shoot targets in their own garden at 8 yards. The more "tactical" the better. Especially if they have names like venom, marauder, nitemurderer,  dragonslayer, etc. 

Eh Jimmy?

Power settings not working, if reg is over 100 bar it won’t fire , you’d think the valve is not opening, it was running perfect last week & then it decided to just drop the pellets  out the barrel

Sean I think it is time to give Simon a call at ASI. Tony may well answer the phone but ask to speak to Simon 01728 688 555.

I have found these guys to be superb in their help on phone support. I can't offer any help as I have never had those issues. The reg pressure seems low as my .25fac is 140 bar, when it dropped a while ago accuracy went out of the window but it is easy to adjust up but NEVER down. Simon talked me through the process because I am bloody useless with technical repairs / modifications. The system is designed to be adjusted by the owner but I would not do anything without talking to ASI first.

If you can get the gun ready to do the work Sean, they will normally talk you through it mate.

Phil to adjust down ! Just undo the air cylinder, until air realeases, then turn the reg up until all air in the reg is realeased, then turn down (with no pressure in the system) , straight forward mate

[philpot 4,925]

It's a real shame mate having these issues and to be honest I have not heard of any problems for ages with the Impact. Is yours fac or sub 12.

Stroll on Jimmy, that is well out of order. Personally, I would give it back to the RFD and ask him to send it back to sort. Normally, if there is a fault, report it to ASI and they will pick up from the RFD  so there is no charge to the owner and no charge for the work done.

I would not worry about warranty, simply tell Tony what the issue is and that Sean has done his best to resolve it and let them take over, they will still give warranty on the gun.
