On top of the list for a Mark3 so we will have answers in a few weeks.

My guess is that the M3 launch will be very challenging for them to pull off impressively right now. I'm assuming they feel they have enough employees and supplies for the launch. Spare parts will probably be the slowest while keeping production at the forefront. I just hope they are not skipping the QA with any rush of orders they may experience. That ruins everything for everybody doing that.I was going to ask if people noticed after the launch of the MKI and MKII if the first ones off the press had more issues than ones that came off the line later?I was going to wait till next year thinking they would release something like this at some point. I'm wondering if I would be wise to wait? I'm wondering if quality control will suffer with a new release. I also feel like once they use up old receiver stock that they may make the new ones with the reg gauge on the side right from the factory. From what I've read/heard FX makes changes on the fly, as soon as an upgrade is available they try to get it into production guns as soon as possible and not wait for the next generation. The shot count differences, is that due to the 580 cc bottle?Honestly? I'd wait a bit, and see what happens. FX is having a hard time fulfilling current orders for both the Mk2 Impacts (which have just been superseded) and the Mavericks. On top of that nightmare, they decide to roll out the next-gen Impact? That's a recipe for disaster. I'm sure there's going to be issues with the first batch or three of M3's. I'd be shocked if there weren't, TBH. We all fall prey to "latest and greatest" at one time or another, only to have buyers remorse down the road. Waiting even just a few months after a new model is released helps with that. That "quick tune" feature looks great (seriously, it's a really great idea!), but if I were in the market, I'd want to see more end user reviews after a few months w/the gun. How does it REALLY perform in the field? Same goes for the dual reg set up. I really want to see long-term reviews for those dual regs. Plus- if you wait, you're able to save up some more money, so the financial burden feels somewhat lessened.The shot count is different due to the larger tank, higher pressures of the tank, dual regs, and the larger plenum. I for one am going to get a larger plenum when they become available. The larger plenum and 20 moa cant scope rail will make my Mk2 perfect for me. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm NOT looking forward to disassembling my gun again though! LOL

One thing I noticed was Giles was the only one who mentioned that they fixed the sloppy fitting mag slot in the action many complained about. Since I don't have a much earlier version, I can't compare but mine has seemed fine, maybe the last few batches of Mk2's had already been updated.
My MK3 is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Never had the opportunity to shoot any older MK's . Ordered in .22 with a 600 barrel.Hoping for improved accuracy over my beloved Dreamliner Classic at 90-120 yards.I will be watching closely for information and mods to make it an even better PCP.
On the 20 MOA rail it was supposed to be on the Maverick Stock. Well I got a Maverick VP 30 cal from SPAW a couple weeks ago. I was told it was tested tuned before shipping. No 20 MOA rail. Had a 25 cal mag and a 11 gr hammer instead of the 30 cal mag and 13 gram hammer. Called FX USA tech says yes we are aware of the rail issue and Making a list. So yes I would wait several months before I order a MK3 let them get the issues straightened out FirstRight now I am still trying to get my Maverick to shoot right. Had to wait 4 days for the correct mag. Then wasted more than 100 pellets trying tune the gun only to find out it had the wrong hammer. ( some that is on me no knowing much on airgun tuning but learning quickly ). Blew the 2nd reg adjuster oring in the process. Waited another 3 days for those parts. Then another call to find out oh your other issue is well it really doesn't have the 20 moa rail YET. We will send you one when we get them made
