New Cricket Valve Spring Lock Nut….by John Hagan
Pretty simple and keeps valve stem from changing positions.
1) Threaded valve lock nut
2) Screws on top of valve stem spring adjustment nut.
3) Adjust valve stem spring tension and put lock nut on top of it
4) The threads are perfect, but use an easy hand when starting the lock nut
5) Never forget to replace the valve on your gun least you sustain catastrophic air loss
That valve gets pounded with each shot, and there is nothing to hold that valve spring in place except friction. Cheap insurance to keep results consistent.
Aerotulz55 is the machinist. I think Ernest has access to them as well.

Thank you gentlemen…one and all.
The idea came from Sweden-Norwegia, where a similar instrument is used to open the nasal passages of congested Nordic gentlement, all of whom have huge noses….see attached:
Size is of all importance, and each patient MUST be carefully “sized” and documented by a registered and trained “Norse-Nose Holeologist”
Personally, I stumbled upon this precision instrument at “Google” when seeking relief for my allergies. Interestingly, Wikipedia indicated the medical devices were invented in 1890, prior to the invention of Benedryl, and are also threaded, then rotated into place, where they stay for the life of the individual! Being screwed into place deep in the nasal passage, gave rise to the popular saying “I got screwed!“. During the Great War, the U.S. doughboys brought the phrase back to America, where it assumed a more vulgar connotation.
I knew I lacked the skills to make such a creation, so I passed the idea on to John Hagan, “Aerotulz55”, who developed the prototype and now uses them in all his pcp’s. If you want one, they are available for a very few Shekels from John. Do as I did, PM him and beg….I believe Ernest also is a source of this part…and if he’s not, he and John cooperate since John is a Master Machinist, and Ernest can get them for you.
Kindest regards to all….
