Hey,
For those who bought one, have you used it yet and how do you like it? Ever since they reached the buyers, I haven't heard one thing on them, so I am curious as to how they performed.

Got one installed in a regulated 12FPE Discovery, so probably not the kind of data you're looking for. Used this valve instead of the standard one for two reasons: safety in case of overfill (better secured) , increase performance at lower pressures (better flow). Also installed regulator to increase shot to shot consistency.
Seems to work good. Getting 45-50 shots on a 2000psi fill. I think Scott (Motorhead) said he replaced the valve spring with something lighter to match the 1200 psi regged pressure.

Thanks Andy. That is very cool to hear.

Yes, the provided shorty conical spring was replaced with a longer tho smaller wire version. Screw heads securing valve to tube needed head diameter reduced also. Bit of work getting it all fitted correctly, but once done worth the effort IMO.
* only concern was SIZE of transfer hole in valve body leaving barely enough shoulder to contain the OEM transfer tube rubber end seal.

The Millennium valve was never intended to be used with an OEM Crosman transfer port.... It is designed to use a 5/16" OD Teflon tube for the TP.... The ID will vary depending on the caliber and intended FPE desired....

Thanks for the info Bob. Now that you mention it, I recall the Teflon TP was mentioned in the Millennium valve thread. I will have to remember that for the next project. I have two of the valves. For the 12FPE Disco though, the OEM TP seems to be working good.

It was opened up to @ .140" BTW ;)
If you go in and remove that BMR breech somewhere down the road ... swap it out.

*confused look*....
0.140" ID is stock for a Disco transfer port.... The barrel ports are only 0.133" stock, regardless if they are .177 or .22 cal....

BNM breech uses a M-rod tube at .125" ... thus opened to .140" ... Confusion over ;D

Ahhh.... didn't realize BNM choked up the transfer port....
