Oh, I forgot to mention that I did adjust the trigger as per @Jim D's instruction. I was surprised at the improvement. It's much lighter now. I think it probably will improve my shots. Thanks Jim.

@JimD Thank you for the very detailed information on how to mod the airgun and detailing the pros and cons. I'm no longer thinking about buying the High Power Valve set. It's too expensive for just a few FPS bump that you predicted. And I'm not brave enough to enlarge the port myself. I'm really...

The problem with the original FX reg is that its limit, according to FX, is 160 bar. If you want to try to push the second reg up to, say, 180 bar to decrease the refresh rate, you are limited to 160 bar before endangering ruining the FX reg. It is possible to replace the second reg with Huma's...

@JamesD. You put a lot of work into the chassis! It must have taken you ages. But the results are astounding, you must have found the way to handle this light gun. I'll give the Baracudas a try. Your results are excellent. Speaking of results, I found for the target paper that I shot 15m out...

@Perle it's dismantled now, waiting for the power plenum. I'll take a photo and share when I had assembled the gun. :) BTW, what is norma 17s? Is Bullshark a P35 in a different chassis? What do you use it mostly for?

Yeah. It's a simple gun to tinker with too. It doesn't have 10000 o-rings in it. Have you mod yours?

I just bought a .177 Snowpeak P35. The trigger wasn't the best, but it can be adjusted, such as the length of the second stage and the toughness of the trigger pull. The cocking can be made smoother too by taking out the hammer and other related parts, sanded the rough edges, and lubed them...

I have to agree with @douger. I have an FX Wildcat MK3 BT, which has a very similar build to the Maverick. I use 2 Huma's reg to get the max pressure too. In my experience, to dump the air in the plenum, the easiest way is just to loosen the reg 2 pressure gauge. You can do it safely by...

STO is where I got the idea from too. I'm waiting for some info from someone who had done it with a gun that has similar shroud as the RTI.

Hello, My FX Wildcat MK3 BT's first reg manometer shows leaking. I filled it up to 250 bar, and the pressure went down to 230 Bar within 2 days but was holding steady at 230 bar for a week. I thought it was because of the change in temperature. I left it alone for 2 weeks, and the pressure went...

Hello, Has anyone tried the Snowpeak P35 High Power Valve Kit on a 4.5 cal? What's the improvement?

Hi @Jim D. Those are very good tips. Thank you. I'll play with the setting and pellets. And on my marksmanship. :)

That's correct. Loctiting the screws will be a hassle and risky when you want to dismantle the parts. The reason that I suggest locteting the screws because they are moving parts that can be shaken loose over time from the vibration when shooting the gun. But I agree with @Trucker3573 and...

I'm not 100% sure but I think this is what you should try: Remove the cocking rod by first dismantling the trigger base, trigger sear, trigger wheel (the packman) by removing the pins and unscrewing the sear base from the packman. Remove the hammer, and finally, you can free your cocking rod...

I see what you mean. I'll give it a try. Thanks so much @nervoustrig.
