It was one of the first things I checked. I know for a fact that the nipple portion of the TH is sealing within the bolt oring. I’ll check tonight and let ya know.

AF should be able to tell you exactly though. The following is by no means an accurate way to test but I used an electronic freight/box scale here at the office, and by trying to compress the spring on the scale down an inch of travel got roughly 3.5-lbs,…Read more

Due to the heaver spring for the Blod/Selph valve, my cocking knob has worn/stripped out of the slide in only a hundred or so cocks, 😡 ‘insert pun here’ lol! A steel insert is a great idea though. I’ll look at that as a fix till MH works out his Al slide for production.

I had very simlar results with the same setup.
