I recon I can get the enjins over 1000fps with a stronger spring. when I fill the tank to 3000psi my velocities are lower as the spring can’t open the valve fully, they come into their own at about 2500psi.

My Talon had a fair bit of work done on it (brass hammer and 2 different tophats, machined from a single piece of metal,one with a bigger hole).

Is the bottom bit (piece that goes into valve first) suppose to be rough. Mine has vice like indents in it. Should I be polishing it to make it smooth?
