an even more refined condor tune…
I decided to try adding an o-ring behind the tophat to see what it would do. Apparently it further refined the tune by flattening the curve, lowering standard deviation by 60% and extreme spread by 50%, used less air, AND got one more shot? How is this possible?
23 shots
2300-2000 psi
TT small insert
PW 6.1
JSB 18.13
… Here was pre o ring:
22 shots
2300-1900 psi

JSB 14.35

I asved and saved to get mine. Love it. Wish “O” rings were more plentiful! 😉
Yep, I think you nailed it. Seems to stop the hammer bounce. Also seems to even out slightly different hammer hits. (as to the different amounts of energy between hammer hits)
All I know is that it works. The only one I ever heard of that it didn’t work for was Walter. But you know Walter. He doesn’t like things simple. 😆

powderburner gave a good explanation but I forget.
We know it helps quiet the action so I think that it dampens hammer/breech bounce lessening a second strike that could release additional air.
Hey powderburner, did I get it right this time ❓
Lol! I believe that all ring cost me fractions of a penny. FPE and velocity also came up by 20 fps, same pellet vs same pellet. I wonder if somehow the valve is held open longer with the cushion of the o ring?
Not just.anyone can qualify to purchase and use the poor man’s regulator mod 👿
You need 3 current credit cards and a bank that will float you a loan for 25 cents 🙄
