Those hot valves they have cost as much as the gun does, if I need some power I'd rather grab one of my pcps.
Robert that's one of the most fun guns I've got, I've shot two squirrels in about 5 seconds between each other with that gun, there was a red squirrel chasing a fox squirrel out of HIS tree, I shot the fox squirrel first then the red squirrel after, they were within 6ft of each other on the ground where they landed DRT.
http://mountainaircustomairguns.com/faq/ offers affordable valve upgrades. Magnum Airpower and Alchemy Airwerks also offer valve upgrades. We will probably be waiting for a piston upgrade since the rifle is so new. So far I have ordered a Baker aluminum breech, Alchemy stainless breech cap, Alchemy "custom" fiber front sight, and a Magnum upgraded transfer port. I'm thinking about ordering a Mellon stainless hollow probe and the Magnum aluminum trigger group would be a slick upgrade. I really wanted to go with brass breech and black accents, but I decided to go with the Baker breech instead and go with a black and silver look. Maybe I'll still get a brass breech in the future, it might look nice with stainless and aluminum parts. I'm also eyeing about $100 in brass accents, but that will wait as well. It's hard to justify buying all the bling for such a cheap rifle, but if I acquire it slowly maybe it won't be as bad. Maybe I'll snag a 1322 pistol since my PCP pistol is way too loud to use in my attic, and then I'll have an excuse to buy a brass breech.

If it doesn't turn out I'll return or resell it and just get the brass breech I look at all the time.

I'll probably get a hollow brass or stainless probe before too long.

The Baker breech comes with stainless hardware and I ordered a stainless rear cap. If I get tired of the silver on black look I'll order some brass gear.
