I was trying to shoot sub 12 with the high power regulator. I went to a sub 12 reg and it made a world of difference.

I like how you have the decal to remind you that the window is closed

and brake dust from asbestos pads back in the day.I have never worried about lead from metal. Ever since I was younger i have to cut the tops off batteries and melted them in a hot pot to make fishing weights. More recently using it with a .457 round ball mold i acquired.
But, the thing I was concerned with and never really got a real answer about is what the effect was from all the leaded gas fumes we breathed in as a kid, or worse I remember sucking in gas from a hose and spitting it out to siphon into a can when we went camping.

One thing to remember when dealing with small parts in relation to HPA is that you're dealing with much less stress due to the size, so not being good at maths if you're working with 2-3,000psi it's much reduced when confined to 0.050" .Ha
Thanks.
I wouldn’t know how wide to open that poppet just for fear of weakening the sides of the metal because so much force has applied onto it with that regulator spring pushing against from that piston.
I had one that I had replaced because it was ever so slightly bent.
Sadly ,Karl.. you are correct. We are suffering the poison acorns that were planted that grew into the poison oaks we have today.Who said anything about springers? Robert Beeman marketed PCP as well. But anyway.
All three of our sons shoot. 20, 24, and 28. No wonder other young people don't. They don't even have a family to get them involved. So our sport shrinks. A lot of them do buy 9mm's FWIW. Maybe some day adults will take marriage first and then family seriously again.
I’m not sure about Wall Mart selling Gamos .. every wall mart I’ve been to has one tiny area of Crossman 766 type guns and one Phantom break barrel with a selection of . 5 tins 177 pellets.. hidden locked in glass so the Green earth ears are happy lead is away from them.Not to be disrespectful, but I wouldn't be too sure about the grim future of the basic springer. Just think about how many new shooters get introduced to the sport by picking up a Gamo at their local Walmart... PCPs are typically an upgrade for some, while others move on to firearms or remain content to simply have a springer.
