How are those Buna O rings working out? I'm looking to replace my bottle valve o ring with a Buna 90...I think its an -3. I have a slow leak from the bottle into the regs after shutting off and depressurizing. I know SKOUT has as vid out about this o ring. Looks easy. Gun is serial 0323, August 23 time frame. PU ring is probably taking a set. I was also going to do a few on the regs. Can you do a list on which ones would have the most impact changing out and their sizes? ThanksIt was tough to get out, but crazy tough to install. Those 90 duro orings are very stiff. While I had it apart I replaced all the PU rings with BunaN just because….
It made a big difference in my reg performance, I’m usually about 1800 psi, so it probably isn’t an issue with lower reg pressures. I shoot the .25 Heavy at about 945 fps, HP at 1780 +/- 20 psi and LP at about 165 to 170 psi. Dwell at 25 micro sec. For a 50 shot string I get about a 9 fps ES and 2.5 SD.
Is that with the long or short barrel? My SD with the long barrel is 2-3 I believe, with original o-rings in regs..25 JTS 34 grain at 916 fps. ES and SD looking very good. Accuracy was hard to tell today since it was very windy and swirling direction by the second. Will give the shooting for score a try when winds are not so crazy….

Hi Scotty, what caliber and reg pressures are you using? Just curious.Is that with the long or short barrel? My SD with the long barrel is 2-3 I believe, with original o-rings in regs.
Thats pretty good! I haven't tried the .25 long barrel, but I have one. How does that compare accuracy wise to the short barrel? What Dwell, HP, and LP settings do you use? I'm assuming .25 Heavy at 950 fps ish?Is that with the long or short barrel? My SD with the long barrel is 2-3 I believe, with original o-rings in regs.
I have a .22 that I’m running @ 130 LP and 1500 HP. I also have .25/.30 with long barrels. I dont recall the .25 settings, but I’ll take it out today and see. That one has a Razor 6-36 on it, and deserves to be looked through more often.Hi Scotty, what caliber and reg pressures are you using? Just curious.
I have a .22 also, what pellet works best for you? Thanks.I have a .22 that I’m running @ 130 LP and 1500 HP. I also have .25/.30 with long barrels. I dont recall the .25 settings, but I’ll take it out today and see. That one has a Razor 6-36 on it, and deserves to be looked through more often.
I’ve heard that the short barrels are more consistent, that said, I did shoot my best 50 yard group ever with the .25 long barrel. I haven’t shot the .25 short, as I only have long barrels now. The .30 short, while I had it was very accurate. I’ll get back to you on settings etc…Thats pretty good! I haven't tried the .25 long barrel, but I have one.

So far the JTS 22.07 seem to group best, MRD’s are decent too, but I’ve kinda lost faith in JSB these days. I haven’t tried their “new” versions.I have a .22 also, what pellet works best for you? Thanks.
Thanks, I have the JTS 25.39 and 18.1 looks like I need to try some 22.07So far the JTS 22.07 seem to group best, MRD’s are decent too, but I’ve kinda lost faith in JSB these days. I haven’t tried their “new” versions.
The JST seem to lead up the barrel more quickly, but a very tight patch will pull it out no problem.Thanks, I have the JTS 25.39 and 18.1 looks like I need to try some 22.07
Good to know, It was recommended to me to clean the barrel every 200 shots.The JST seem to lead up the barrel more quickly, but a very tight patch will pull it out no problem.
Well, I mis-remembered a bit… SD is 3-4 over 34 shots, leaning toward 4 fps. Dwell is 30, LP is 160 HP is just under 1500 for 950ish fps. Too windy for accuracy testing, but recall good grouping at 910ish fpsThats pretty good! I haven't tried the .25 long barrel, but I have one. How does that compare accuracy wise to the short barrel?

Thanks for the info Scotty. I liked to shoot 910-915 too. Maybe I need to push the pellets a bit faster and see if things stabilize with the 35”.Well, I mis-remembered a bit… SD is 3-4 over 34 shots, leaning toward 4 fps.

Hello Luke, can you tell us when you switched to the two piece design for the MFE 103 and how the Buna O ring testing is going? My .25 is # 00323. Can this part be retrofitted in or do you need the complete HP reg assembly...currently showing out of stock on your website.The first 100 or so guns had an 008. This was revised to an 009 due to issues with the regulator not sealing when using a slow fill whip. We have since completely revised MFE 103 into a 2 piece design to make oring installation easier. Centercut and Motorhead, I will be doing some testing with bunas this week, I appreciate your efforts to help improve the EPOCH platform. It is users like you guys that help us drive innovation and in the end put out a better product.
As for putting that groove in those parts, I have about .01 of clearance to get the tool in and out without hitting the opposite side wall. Had to grind myself clearance to make it happen on the grooving tool.
Our Frames are serialized all at once so we dont ship them in a chronological order. the parts can be retrofitted. If you're interested in getting these pieces feel free to call us or send an email [email protected]Hello Luke, can you tell us when you switched to the two piece design for the MFE 103 and how the Buna O ring testing is going?
