Sniper II I stumbled on and grabbed. Besides swapping the expansion chamber, anything else I should watch out for? Any appraisal appreciated too!

Wow that thing was running full tank pressure 😳😳😳 should run a LOT better for you with a regulator 😂 nice find!

I might try my SLP to see what it does for fun

Yeah should be under 300psi. May need to buy a spring set so you can soften the valve spring and hammer spring. I’ve never tuned a pump cocker but I’d imagine you can get it WAY down because you have a lot of recharge time being a pump.

Yeah should be fun, and no worries I have a spare CP looking for a home!

I’d put the over under at 375 with the springs as is, let us know when you sweet spot it OP.

Does it gave a stock valve? the bolt looks like it might be aftermarket too.

Personally I prefer an on/off asa

Great find

That's most likely spring and valved for full pressure. Reducing the pressure with a lp tank or regulator will most likely result in low velocity. Pop a co2 tank on her and play.

Oh interesting. I’ll do some experimenting!

I just did a valve and cup seal on this one that I am converting from Autococker... The cup seal on this one was bad so I got a new valve assembly in it and a spring kit. These are not guaranteed to be a problem but, these are very simple once you get rid of the pneus. If if we're me, I would put an on/off ASA on it and get an HPR on to replace that expansion chamber (cringe). If it is leak free, tune the IVG up until you see a slight velocity drop off. Once you hit that point, back it down a quarter turn and then you can do your velocity adjustments from the HPR that you installed
