What kind of mod did you do to your baffles? Ive been working on them also trying to find the best results. Just curious how yours perform.

I have been looking as well and have been experimenting with some different designs. So far I have found using #14 finishing washers have had the best results. Definitely can hear the difference while shooting. Im still working on getting better results.

Just curious from those of you that own one do these rifles require 3200psi fills for optimal power and accuracy as I have read on their forum? If so I think Ill have to pass on it since I do a 3000 scuba tank for fill and avg below 3000 fills.
What do the edguns and crickets like for fill pressures?

Hey Lurker I had tried the o-ring behind the top hot but apparently I cant find a slim enough ring that doesn’t restrict the valve. It definitely cut the ping only because it cut my power in half. 😕 I will have to do some more shopping and give it another try.
