Dervburner 2,548 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I’ve come across these on fleabay, a bit expensive at £96. Just about double the price of the standard fx sideshot mags. They’re made from aluminium, has anybody had any experience of these or heard any comments good or bad? I’m thinking, are they expensive because they’re really good, or are they an expensive disappointment? I’m interested in getting a spare mag and just happened on these.

Had a few shots of the mk2 impact the other day the lad was having a right feck on with the mag it was skipping pellets then when he took it out and took the cover off and turned it and let go it went fast then slowed right down then went fast so on and so on got to say mind it was a brand new rifle . I was not impressed with it at all did not even like the look of it . Fat shrowd and a little mod on it and to think i was thinking of getting one lol imop the crown is a much better rifle all together and the mk1 impact atvbjimmy Quote Link to post

Dervburner 2,548 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 In many ways I prefer the crown. I was all set to get one, but the more I researched the new impact with power plenum, the more I swayed towards the impact. No regrets on that and it’s great with slugs and pellets. The jsb 18 grain heavy are spot on, even at 100 yards, maybe beyond. The h&n slugs are accurate well beyond 100 and Ive shot a rabbit at 112 yards lasered.Got my first squirrel with the impact the other day, it’s a good tool imo. I still fancy a crown though 3 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,927 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It is not a subject that I have to spend much time on as I cannot afford another anyway, there was a new plenum for sale on another forum for £90 which I thought about but I am not good at stripping down a complex gun like this or any gun for that matter so I would need to get someone else to fit it.........................................oh well never mind.

villaman 9,979 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It’s not complex Phil, dead easy to fit Quote Link to post

I am however still thinking about the plenum but not sure if it is worth the bother as my gun has the original barrel so way behind all you guys. Phil Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It would be worth looking for a barrel Phil either 600 or 700 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,927 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 hmmmm perhaps next year Mitch Phil Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Look out for a second hand one phill , a few come up when they change from 600 to 700 mm . Mate is getting over 60 ftlbs out of his 600 barrel with power plenum . That was my old gun . I think he has tuned it down to 60ftlbs 900 FPS 120 bar 1 Quote Link to post
