Yes, I had to replace it because I get permanently leak. I solve it with ordinary flat 4mm brass screw. I put small circle piece of bicycle tube under the ball. Then I insert screw. Now I have no leakage. πŸ˜‰

Nice, what is that brass looking screw? Have you replaced the bleed valve with that screw?

quote Cricket:

Jan, the cricket trigger can be modified for the better, remove the locking ring that holds the spring at the trigger and then replace it with one of these http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dindustrial&field-keywords=Adjusting+ring+set+screw

Then you can go wild with the first stage tension and adjust the second stage to make a hair trigger

As I promised to Cricket I took some pictures πŸ™‚

That idea is quite old. I think SECoda (Brant) or Ernest came up with the idea use collar for better setup…

there was a video about HW100 hammer bounce, they all do it.

just wanted to see how much the brass bit helps really

kris i don’t have vulcan. Vulcan i sent back to Roman πŸ˜‰

octavius make a video without the debouncer for us.

Hello my friend Cricket, this mode I have done 2 years ago πŸ™‚ I have two collars one for spring first stage trigger and second one I put close end of rod clip. When I strip the gun specially receiver it holds place for that clip. I will show you tomorrow. I can take some picture.

But vulcan trigger is even better πŸ˜‰ almost that good as on my HW100 rifle.

Hye Ascarissuis πŸ™‚ now tests continue by original vulcan owned πŸ˜† I had sent to him. Vulcan is fain but it is not worthy for exchange my extra tuned cricket for vulcan. Really one thing was very good and it was trigger on vulcan. It is great as I compare it with cricket πŸ™„ Cocking leaver is a habit for my good but cricket cocking leaver is also fain.

How are your tests going,Jan?

There is no modified! Vulcan as come from factory. ItΒ΄s the same vulcan what I have for test couple of days…

Excuse my ignorance, is this a modified hammer? If yes, what is the difference? Is it supposed to reduce hamer bounce?

A while back I was experimenting with my .22 FAC AAS410 Classic’s hammer after I installed a early Altaros regulator. A lighter (non-FAC) hammer-mass and/or hammer-spring allowed for dramatically more shots but also led to about 100fps lower velocities (from 920ish to 820ish fps). “Dramatically” meant that the total number of good shots gained (from around 40 to over 80) were more than the 100fps difference in air expanded per shot. So the reason for the gain must have been less hammer bounce. My .22 Airwolf has an electronic hammer (solenoid) and I get around 1bar per shot air used because there is zero hammer bounce. I assume that a typical .25 vs a .22 pellet needs more air per shot. Based on others reporting about the Vulcan .25 getting around 40 shots from 250bar to 150bar (regulator drop off), it uses about 2.5 bar per shot(?) //For target shooting// would be great to find a way to squeeze out more shots per fill.

I think that the bouncing force is too low to open the valve again and again. With the traditional design I guess you will have the same situation but the bouncing force would be greater causing the valve to open.

It looks like the concept is actually working against it. According to the video the hammer is hitting the valve pin multiple times.
