Going to have to start a 12lbs club! Ooh, ooh - count me in! My V-Mach kit ended up being about 11.4 fpe in my TX. It was supposedly the FAC kit but I think it's the low power kit. No worries, it's super easy to cock and it's really smooth.I elect Dustin as the official leader of the 12lbs Club. I suffer from tinkeritus so I'll probably swap it back and forth between different power kits.Niko,When you bring the TX by the shop Saturday for the trigger job, have your V-mach kit with you to put back into gun, need to keep the factory spring to fit custom delrin guide within it.

Guys, for what it's worth...This has been one of the neat threads to read, and with good deeds dealt. Glad to read about 12fpe shooters, in light of all the magnumitus that goes around. Just had to post Kudos
I tried the Vortek 12lb kit ,but did't care for it. Smooth but felt underpowered. If I remember I chronied it and was around 10.5 ft lbs. I later went with JM's FAC kit and left the piston weight out. From the first shot it was super smooth and a quick firing cycle. I knew this was the kit for me. Chronied it and Bingo 800 with 8.4 = 11.9 ft lbs. I have thought of putting the piston weight in for a test but every time I take a shot I just can't do it. Its just right. Just got the V-mach tune in today for the Wifes TX. Will keep everyone posted. Great shooting! Got to love a detuned TX!
Just got done tuning the wifes HC. The V-mach Seal fit great and kit installed with no problems. The moly grease then send is the slickest stuff I have ever used. Chronied the 12lb Vortek first and only shooting 580 with 8.4 that = 6.2 ft lbs:( This is the second kit I have got that was not even close to 12lbs. Put a full power kit in my bro's 48 .22 and it shoots great. 780 with 14.3 so I don't know whats up with the 12ft lbs kits. Anyways this V-kit is just like my JM kit. I bought the FAC kit and left out all spacers. 820fps for 12.5 lbs and a super smooth cycle with no twang , vibration or anything. Very happy with it.
Well, Niko just left the shop with his Trigger tuned TX.Got to shoot the gun with his V-mach 12# kit installed.Yup a very smooth shot cycle and very low vibration, felt nice but was obvious on power being down as well
I'd be interested in experimenting with replacing the steel top hat on my TX with a delrin to reduce power a bit. Anyone know where I can get one with the same dimensions as the OEM weight without buying a full kit? Or for that matter, a one-piece delrin replacement for the rear guide that fits the stock spring as well...

Tho knowing having seen first hand AA's broad spring size tolerance. To make a fitted spring guide and top hat the ACTUAL Spring & Hat need to be in hand for correct sizing.Translates too ... need the gun or need the guts

I can see where you'd be disappointed with that!Sounds like the V-mach is a real winner.
