Good video. I just got an M3 Sniper .25 and I could not agree more with your assessment. The gun is smooth, accurate, very well designed and infinitely adjustable. Loving it...
I preordered M3 last year from Pyramid Air it took about two months for me to receive it I also preordered a Maverick two years ago and it took about two months to receive so hopefully you won’t have to wait no more than two months
Ya, my M3 took a month from Utah Air but they said .22 Cal would have been two, as for the barrel tensioner kits I know a select few have them but I'm curious if they are shipping to the general public yet? 🤔
Ernest Rowe posted a video a while back where he used a carbon fiber tube "shim" between the rear of the shroud and the front of the receiver on a Mk II as a barrel tensioner. I gave that a try and was disappointed in the results. One question, does your barrel have a carbon fiber sleeve? Is it loose or epoxied in place?
I do have a Carbon fiber sleeve for my barrel but I haven't put it in yet, so still just the o-rings. I think the carbon fiber is the ticket because it naturally dampens harmonic noise.
@@cormastar Agreed. Then the question is, epoxy or not? I chose not to but in retrospect I think it would be better if the liner was bonded to the sleeve.
I did epoxy them in for my AirForce Condor and Talon otherwise it'd just slide out. I do believe you get a slight advantage with epoxy helping transfer the harmonics to the carbon fiber and since you need a different size for every caliber you might as well.
@@cormastar Let's chat sometime. I've built an externally regulated Condor similar to what you showed in one of your videos. If you're on Airgun Nation I'm "Stretch" over there.
I did mention in the description and in the video that it's not an FX product but it does tension my FX barrel. I don't own the FX version but based on what I've seen I suspect the results will be mush the same. 😉

Nice video , keep it going on !

@@cormastar I was told by the end of July
Very interesting idea. Any chance of sharing your .stl file? I would like to try it myself. Thanks for posting!
Yes, I will upload it to thingaverse and post the link when it's there!

Not seeing your accuracy results after you replaced the original with the new tensioner kit.
The group's side by side are pretty close by the measurements the tensioner did group tighter but it would have been better at 100 yards.
What state are you in?
Washington state
I could really use your help in my set up?
I'm still learning myself but I'd be happy to help if I can. What do need?
This is not the fx one so it’s kinda misleading
