Mad Rag Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Not long got this but it's a little hot for my CQB site , only 10fps over how can I bring this down a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What I would try is to file down the valve pin a bit. Use a fine file and take your time so as not to damage the seating. A dremel whould be good for this if done gently. If it gets messed-up then you'll just have to replace the valve with a low pressure one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 there is an npas for it but seems hard to get hold of. If you crop the floating valve spring in the nozzle you should be able to drop it by that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Wouldn't you want a stronger spring to reduce output? I'm thinking of the return spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rag Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 thanks all for this. so i asked a few of the guys at the site and i was told you can drill holes in the barrel to fine tune it or put a restriction kit on it. im not very tech minded 53 minutes ago, EDcase said: file down the valve pin a bit. where is the valve pin and how much would need to be taken off? 25 minutes ago, heroshark said: crop the floating valve spring in the nozzle again not sure on this where is this located. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I wouldn't drill any holes in the barrel myself but it should reduce the power if that's the way you want to go. It may affect BB flight tho. The pin is the the centre of the valve at the back of the magazine. Its the bit you can push in when empty. I'd guess to take off about half a mm but you'll need to chrono quite often to see how its affected. As for the spring: you'll need to remove the valve with a valve key.

EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Ah, I was talking about the spring in the valve I haven't tinkered with pistol internals yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured you were. That is another way to adjust it though. Having to do it on all mags and equally (unless you had a ready supply of springs you were fitting) would be hard and it would not make a big difference. Tbh cropping the floating valve spring is also minimal difference but dropping 10 fps you may just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Good point about having to modify all mags. I'd still try modifying the valve itself for these two reasons: 1. More gas efficient 2. Less stress on other parts to restrict gas flow. Since it only needs reducing a small amount filing the valve pin would be my first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 On MadRag's 1911 but I would do the same with any pistol that needs a little lower fps. Also depends how many mags would need 'adjusting' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Sorry got befuddled thought you were referring to something you were working on. It's much easier modding something in the gun. For example if you wanted to lessen the actual gas out put filing the face of the valve knocker would be most effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yep, that's a good solution if the fps is consistently high with all mags. Hard to get to tho? Would need to do a complete tear-down to get to the hammer and then reassemble to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rag Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 not sure what i started off with, but they must have been more powerful i now use these https://www.airsoftworld.net/12gramme-co2-cartridge.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
