I had posted an early picture of this, but now that I finished the physical work, here are some more ....
Too cold to shoot, so needed something to do! Also, we always want NEW guns, to play with, now THIS is new to me, and a lot of fun!
Bstaley mod with Hill stiffer hammer spring, .110 TP, Hill LDC, folding AR style stock, 13ci HPA bottle, currently sporting a UTG 3-9x40AO (to be replaced with a shorter Bugbuster with a single offset mount). Total weight as shown 6lbs. 12 oz., and total length (folded) is 20". Backpack friendly, and easy to carry.
Have not chronied yet, but with a 2800psi fill, shot 8 mags down to 1600psi! Last chrony was 790-830fps. with 14.3 CPDomes. (All in less than a quarter at 25 yards) That is more than 60 shots.
I plan to keep it somewhere around mid 800s for a little more than 21 fpe.
Comments, criticism, or compliments welcome!
Cheers

So I put in some Chrony time ....
(like 3 hours and 300 pellets!)
Tuned and re-tuned ..... settled on the following:
Three ring BStaley, ORIGINAL spring (rather than Hill) 4T Spring, 1T Hammer.
Startup fill at 2750psi down to 1500psi a 40 shot string with a LO of 681, HI 701, AVG 690, ES 17, SD 4.82 for about 15 FPE. 1/2" groups at 25 yards!
Hit EVERY paintball on the ledge!
Not what I was aiming for, but numbers like these and accuracy, I'LL TAKE IT!
I did push it up to 800fps but did not like the way it was shooting.
Cheers
