Got my email of the second dec 6th order being shipped and arriving on Monday but it only shows one item instead of two with a cost of 8.10 versus 16.20 for two pistols so the mystery continues to see how many are in the box when it arrives. Maybe I will luck out and get one free. BD

Is it too late for a disclaimer?Don't do this mod, if you love this pistol beyond wildest dreams. This was a scientific wild arsed guess in a bored moment. It works, so I'll leave it at that.besides,... you might shoot your eye out.
The waiting is killing me. BD
QuoteThe waiting is killing me. BDI know what you mean. My delivery date has been pushed out to Dec. 28th. Bright side, is there is still a delivery date.

It works, so I'll leave it at that.besides,... you might shoot your eye out.truth in advertising post,...This might have been too much for the lower valve seal. After a 100 rounds, or so, it seems like I'm losing air now, and, fps is down too. I'm going to dive back into the valve and have a look.
I've been into the valve three or four times today. It seems that I crushed the valve stem spring, which is part of a monolithic assembly, it appears. When I opened the valve, I do not recall there being much play in that spring. There was quite a bit on this opening. One end of the valve stem is a machined o-ring seat, and it appears to be fine; fresh o-ring installed again today. Behind the machined o-ring seat is a spring, followed by a brass spacer, a flat rubber o-ring washer (o-ring with tall flat vertical sides), and then a threaded nipple. At the opposite end of the threaded nipple is a swaged-on hex head valve/hammer interface. That swaging appears to prevent disassembly of the valve stem. If I'm wrong, someone please speak up. But I cannot see where it is possible to diassemble that. If I could, I'd put in a new spring, and flat o-ring.So, I tried shimming that area at the back of the spring with fresh o-rings that match the diameter of the flat o-ring washer, to back the spring up. It all reassembled well enough, but, I'm still down on pressure. It shoots, but, certainly lost that zing.I'm tired of looking at it for today. But, I might try again tomorrow.

Have you chronied it?
My two orders are still showing delivery of tomorrow and Monday. Now to see if I get one or two pistols on Monday.BD
