RTI Prophet .22cal:
🔺
Plenum + Tuning + Power + Bottle 🔺
❓
Do you know what to do when you bought a gun but it hasn't been delivered yet?
➔ Yupp, you can shoot it in your mind, tune it in your mind, set up a new Strelok file, gather the ammo for the first day of testing, clear a spot to store it, order o-rings, aftermarket performance parts, accessories....
OR:
Pester your fellow forum members with questions!
➔ I've done the above. Stopped short of selling a kidney to pay for it all.
Now it's time to get on the forums....!
🤣
🔸 Before you answer any or all of my questions (simply refer to the number) I want to make sure we're all on the same page:
●
I only have a CF tank
, and I can't drive clear across town to get it refilled (because my town is the size of a country, 10 million+).
Therefore, my average pressure I can put into the gun's airtube is mostly going to be less than 300bar.
➔ Average pressure available in my bottle I'd say is going to be 250bar.
●
The gun is the
Compact version
(400mm barrel, 220cc airbottle)
Performance version
(externally adjustable reg. and HST, double gauges)
I have an external plenum available
(that ships standard with the regular size version)
●
I'm looking for this tune in .22cal:
33-36FPE
18.13gr to 18.5gr pellets
900 to 950fps MV
I'll play with slugs as well
5 to 100 yards
I want to do pellet BC testing, which requires frequent power setting changes
❓
Q1 Extended plenum:
By how much would I increase my
shot count
(ballpark figure)? (this is the
Compact
Performance version, and I assume 250bar in the bottle)
❓
Q2 Extended plenum:
I am somewhat concerned for
a quiet tune
i.e., rather shorter sips of air at higher pressure than longer gulps of air at lower pressure.
Would the ext. plenum favor that kind of quiet tune in the
Compact
Prophet or does it move me into louder?
❓
Q3 Extended plenum:
Any other advantages or disadvantages of using the ext. plenum?
❓
Q4 Regulator adjusting:
What are the proper steps to change the regulator setting not to mess things up? (This is my first gun with external adjustment.)
❓
Q5 Larger bottle:
What options are out there to use a larger bottle on the Compact? (price, link?) (The bottle must not hinder the use of a large DFL silencer.)
❓
Q6 Other advice:
Do you have any other recommendations for me?
Thank you all! 😊

Have you...seen...the extra plenum ? It's small ! It's made to enhance...each shot, not the bottle size !
❓
Q2 Extended plenum: I am somewhat concerned for a quiet tune i.e., rather shorter sips of air at higher pressure than longer gulps of air at lower pressure.
Would the ext. plenum favor that kind of quiet tune in the Compact Prophet or does it move me into louder?
Again, the extended plenum size has nothing to do with the sound output. You say that you want 900/950fps...THAT will tend to be loud ! I have my Compact turned down to about 800fps. Nice and quiet,...AND still...accurate.
❓
Q3 Extended plenum: Any other advantages or disadvantages of using the ext. plenum?
Why do you want one, if you do not understand what they do ? The extended plenum helps make sure that each shot has the correct amount of air ready when you pull the trigger.
❓
Q4 Regulator adjusting: What are the proper steps to change the regulator setting not to mess things up? (This is my first gun with external adjustment.)
Go into YouTube, look up adjusting the RTI regulator. That's much easier than trying to explain it here.
❓
Q5 Larger bottle: What options are out there to use a larger bottle on the Compact? (price, link?) (The bottle must not hinder the use of a large DFL silencer.)
Hmm...see the last comment at the end of YOUR sentence above..!
❓
Q6 Other advice: Do you have any other recommendations for me?
YES. JUST SHOOT THE GUN AS IT COMES TO YOU...OUTTA THE BOX ! Get to know and understand the gun, WAY before you start trying to change it. The Factory did a pretty good job designing it...don't "F" it up.
If you want it quieter, You should buy five Daystate Renegade/Pulsar (or similar) baffles, and the Daystate spring. Install the baffles into the stock RTI shroud, with the spring (shortened). Makes a BIG difference. You don't really need an add on suppressor if you do this. If you want to do this, get the baffles, then contact me, and I'll walk you through the assembly of the parts.

Thank you, Mike, for taking the time to write your answers!
(You dont happen to be "MikeVV" on AGN?)
Yeah, on YouTube they
did
have a pretty good video about how to adjust the reg and the HST. 👍🏼
