.30 RS

I have enjoyed it and what I’ve learned. I’ll add another magnet to the other side and radius the valve and slim the probe. That’s about all I’ve got left until a better valve comes along. Maybe if someone would extrude home a radiused valve, that would be nice.

I am sold on the extrude hone process. I Wonder if anyone has used it in an AG application.  I would be very interested in the results.

Daniel, I have been thinking of trying a different set up for a magnet bounce stop system.


Plunge mill the face of the valve face to fit a super magnet with a hole drilled thru it for the valve stem to pass thru. Do the same to the face of the hammer.   


Now place, (adhere) the magnets in such a way that they repel rather than attract each other. This should in theory stop the hammer from rebounding and hitting the poppet pin a second time.

You read my mind I use the stick on application just to try it and it works well but for long-term use what you’re describing is what would need to be done and it never wears out

I'm having issues build power with the .223 barrel in the RS II at 20". Worries me for the .172 build. GRRRR!!!

I made 100 fpe with 24" barrel and barrel size porting with my BSA so you should be able to reach 90fpe. What's your goal and port size? Are you using very light bullets?

Knife how about these...

On page 2... r 621 for the hammer face, r622 for the valve face. Ordering some to inset into an mds hammer that rocker1 made. I think with the short stiff spring in the rainstorm I can epoxy it to the hammer face and not lose much stroke length. I don’t have a way of milling that hardened hammer.

I know this is an old topic.  I would like to know what molds were being used and if they were sized or not?  Also were they pure lead or an alloy?  I want to start casting some "accurate" slugs, and have "plumbers" lead. 

[oneshot61]

I’ll check on the molds. My friend Rick Morrill has them and cast for me. Pure lead though. I size to .299 or .300.. accuracy improved and speed picked up a bit.

Thanks Daniel, I just ordered some NSA's in .30 54.5gr and .25 in 26 and 29 gr.  Bought the gun new in 2015-16 and shot maybe 1/2 tin of pellets through it.  Would like to finally get around to tuning it for accuracy and try the NUAH club.

You have a rainstorm.30?

You have a rainstorm.30?

Yes, It's been a "safe queen".  Less than 1/2 tin of JSB's through it since I bought it from PA.  Second PCP I ever bought.  Side lever is like butter, ruined me on my Hatsan BT65 .25.

Actually it's a Rainstorm II with the thumbhole stock.

[oneshot61]

Sweet, love that thumbhole stock. I’d like to get my hands on one. These .30 rainstorms are keepers.
