Here's something that slipped my mind: what kind of fill probe to I need? I have a Hill pump MkIII that has a Foster quick connect. I also have a scuba tank that's filled but I've never set up yet. Also, has anyone tried the Evanix shroud/supressors? I know Neil does good work (he built me a LDC for my Mrod), but I do need something rugged as I'm likely to bump it a lot in the woods and it doesn't look like the 3D gives a lot of room for a slip over designed LDC. I like the solid 1 piece construction of the Evanix combo.
Yes you can put a Max-Ml/Sniper lever on the Rainstorm, just need to put a washer in, if interested I can take pictures of the one I have on.

The RS lever starts hurting around 160-180fpe power level, I know two other lads here who had to make a new lever as the old one went banana shape and started popping open when firing.
I would suggest drilling the TP and valve block nose to 7mm size. Then round the 90 degree angle in the valve block nose with a dremel. A stiff short hammer spring or double spring and you can adjust the power to your liking up to around 180 fpe. With light bullets or pellets about 160 fpe would work well and it's unlikely to bend the sidelever. Remember to add that support bar at the rear of the action.

Remember to add that support bar at the rear of the action.Just the rounding of the ports will usually buy 30-40 fpe and that is usually enough to shift the declining shot curve into a nice bell by backing out the hammer pre-load a couple of turns without any loss of AVERAGE power.Enjoy. My RS is one of my favorite guns Tom
