N/A Materials Used In Valve Design?

While one can fabricate ( Off Shelf ) parts and create an operational Poppet valve system 
To really manufacture a GOOD to Excellent poppet valve system will require custom parts and specialized materials.
As one who has designed as well Re-designed dozens & dozens of PCP air gun valves these past 10+ years, If you really wish to go down this rabbit hole and learn the ways of designs tried and tested, those that worked and those that did not ... We can assist you somewhat.
If your wish is to stay within Off Shelf cobbling together design, I/We wish you all the best

Glad to hear your compressor is doing so well. I have had great success with my Omega chargers. Being air independent is awesome. I have been watching the GX's as well. Air power to the people!
I ordered another dozen tins of pellets from PA last night

I use the Hawke 2” forward reach high mounts. They’re the perfect height for my Helix and I can set the eye relief correctly, the normal rings didn’t give me enough eye relief on the short impact rail

Karma the Skinny on RED PANDAS and Karma SLS Compact and Standard

I just talked to Bin at the Pellet Shop. We always have a bad phone connection so I couldn't hear alot of what I was told but I did manage to make out this info:
These are not made by AEA. They are actually made in one of only a handful of factories that are authorized to make weapons in China. The same factory just happens to also make parts for AEA. They used the tooling for the air tubes and a few other parts because they already had it on hand. The Red Panda is NOT an AEA gun or made with a bunch of AEA parts. Not even close. Apparently people who have these in thier hands are saying "I just shot the best 100 yard group of my life"...and I guess they are hearing that alot. There are .30 cals only now as of May 13th 2024 (today). In 45 days there will be the first large shipment that will include other calibers. In the same shipment should also be the SLS Compact and Standard models. If you pre-order from PY Air through the link in my video (or any PY Air link in any of my videos) I'll make 5%. Order now if you want yours in the first batch!
I won't be getting one or be able to do a review until the big shipment comes in, around July 1st. At that time I'd like to do the .22 but may have to do the .30 just to see this awesome 100 yard accuracy!
Here is a quick video telling you just about nothing on the Red Panda. Hit up Backyard Airguns Youtube channel for the first review on that bad boy! -Nate
.30 (7.62mm) and .357 (9mm) only, the $1400 Karma SLS Standard:
.22 (5.5mm) and .25 (6.35mm) only, the $1350 Karma SLS Compact:

Dead Chicken

Yes, all birds of prey are very sensitive to lead poisoning due to high acid digestive system. Condors and vultures have the strongest stomach acid and they eat dead animals like the one hunters kill but could not retrieve. I see a lot of people calling it a lie out of complete ignorance! Anyone knows bullets made of lead knows that lead bullets fragment due to how soft lead it is. Why is there a copper jacket around lead? Because the lead bullet will disintegrate before it leave the barrel. As a hollow point hits the animal and opens at high speed the lead fragments into tiny pieces in the meat everywhere. Yes, I know this first hand. I don't care about hunting regulations, if I'm going to eat what I shoot with a PB it will be with a solid copper core hunting bullet! Better terminal performance and no heavy metal steak/sausages for me please.
The good part of airgun and black powder using sub sonic rounds is that the lead projectile doesn't disintegrate due to low energy on impact. I enjoyed the rabbits I killed with my little pellet gun using lead ammo.
