That sound good. Keep us informed on the accuracy.How much $ is the valve, and the hammer ?Nice work
AJshoots,Can you post what was the ending pressure for the .22 synrod?Do you think you could have pushed those jsb monsters to 940 fps avg?Any chance you can run a string at the 940 fps to see what kind of shot count you can get ?Do those JSB monsters fit in the magazine or did you have to trim the magazine to fit?Is the barrel port opened up?Do you think you can get the ES less than 4.7% on the shot string with tuning ?As you can tell, I have lots of questions for the capabilities of the new valve and mods. I really want to get one but I am hesitant to fork over $150 for only 46fpe and 20 shots with a 4.7%ES.I can already get 923 fps avg with 10 shots with 21.14 barracuda's with an ES of 2.4% (3000psi to 2500psi). That's an average of 40fpe with just a 10lb spring and tp opened to .0141".What's really got me wondering is if the TP and barrel TP is opened up the same amount as what the war valve requires, will the 22synrod (stock valve) achieve the same FPS and shot count as the war valve ONLY.Or Does the NBH hammer make the most difference in the shot count at the 46 FPE ?It looks like from the data I have been reading about the war valve, the .25 cal takes more of a liking than the 22 when it comes to awesome power and shot count. This is not a negative post on the war valve...... I just want to know what I am spending $150 on or $250 with the NBH. Sometimes I think I may have bought the wrong PCP for the amount I payed for with the marauder and maybe I should have been looking at something else. With just these extra parts it puts the marauder at $700 ( atleast for me).
Just wanted to share my experience with the WAR valve as well. I've got a Gen 1 .25 mrod, that I have put a 500cc bottle kit on. With the factory valve, hammer spring and bottle, I had the rifle tuned to shoot from 900-925-900 for about 40 shots with 25.4 JSBNow with the war valve and 12.5# spring I am shooting 950-975-950 for 50+ shots with the 25.4 JSB. With a few turns of the spring it will shoot the JSB'S from 1020-1050-1020 for 20 shots. This valve is truly amazing! I have no desire to shoot the JSB'S over 1000fps, but a nice heavy slug in the 900's is completely achievable I believe.
Are these number ( in the .22) really all that different then dropping in a .25 crosman valve and changing the hammer spring?John
So who's making these WAR products? I'm very interested.
