I just wanted to confirm that Veradium air works with evanix guns and they also do a valve modification for more power. Looking forward to trying one of these ported valves…

Here we go again !!
- Thread starter Nomadic Pirate 66
- Start date
That is fantastic, I need to contact them to see what they offer because I'm seriously thinking of selling all my multishots PCP and replace with a line up or REX and REX-IBEX in a vatiety of calibers.

How do you think they compare with the AAO super valve, in terms of power output increases, ease installation and if overtly visible. I went to their website, but don't really see what exactly they do or how they do it. May I request to see an image or two of the mod you have them do to see it? Thanks...

I agree, I'd like to see what they can do for a Rex and if much different and might outperform Jeremy's AAO Super valve.

I am the Guinea pig I will let you know. I will be the first to try this in .357
Brian mentioned getting over 70 fpe with a modded .25 valve so I am optimistic it will be a substantial increase.
I’ll definitely share everything I can as soon as I have my hands on the valve and tank in a couple of weeks

I really like the ARHandle and your pic rail handguards on your Rex, great idea! Looks both functional and aesthetically cool. Which handle is on it? Monstrum Tactical? While not a Rex, here's an off subject, work in progress rig I put a handle on to illustrate its usefulness on whatever you put it on. I'm also going to install a gooseneck pic rail on the handle as well to give it more rail-estate to put more things on it.I just cannot stop messing around with my band of REX .357s
Only a few weeks back I put together this open sights Mini-Carbine :
Small, light, open sight Arrow gun.
I had this in mind for a long time but I was waiting to get a .50 to put it together, unfortunately the price of guns nowadays is to rich for me. So I got one of my three .357 and build it off that. This particular gun actually started 6 years ago as a Pistol, it has gone through a variety...www.airgunnation.com
And only a shot time later she was successful on her maiden hunt :
Arrow launcher Hog hunt.
So last week I finished this build https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/small-light-open-sight-arrow-gun.1267057/ Today I took her for the maiden hunt. I had a boar and a saw come down from the opposite slope to where I was hanging out, for a minute I thought once they got to the gulch...
Just the other morning I woke up with the intention to convert the fill size rifle into an Open sight gun, I had all the parts in house so it was a pretty quick job ( letting paint dry was the longest part )
So here is the rifle ( 20" barrel vs the 14.5" of the Mini-Carbines )

I already ordered a Pack of AirBolts from Pyramyd to eventually be able to also shoot arrows out of this gun,......she shoots 389gr arrows at 505 fps for 220 FPE and that is at 200 BAR if I fill to 250 BAR it should sling them arrows at light speed
Weather permitting I will take her hunting tomorrow.
The Mini-Carbine I just set up with a super light 4X scope
View attachment 273587
My other Mini-Carbine is also sporting the same scope
This one still having a shroud I can still attach the Neil Clauge LDC on, ...also now I can use, if i want the longer shroud from the rifle.

As I mentioned before I just cannot leave this guns alone 
Today I swapped the handguard with one of my AR9s, the new one is lighter, slimmer and 3.5" longer so I actually have more distance between rear and front sights and that is always a plus.
very happy how the gun feels now
Did I mentioned I cannot leave this bunch of guns alone
So I also turned the Mini-Carbine back into a pistol, and of course I set it up with Open sights,.......I also have a flat rail if I ever whant to get it scoped, with this flat rail the scope sits just about flush with the top of the gun.

OK then here we go ;
First of all looks like the GEN II .357 bolts have a different insert and looks like it will sit deeper into the barrel
Then I get the bolt in the barrel all the way almost to the valve to have the minimal ammount of empty space
As you can see there's a lot of extra shaft sticking that we need to cut off
Ho and also anytime I insert an arrow in the barrel I always, always take the tank off
Next we measure the extra shaft,......2 3/4"
.......Well looks like I lost that shot

Now we take the insert off and see how much it overlaps the shaft,.....1/2"
Placing the insert into the barrel we'll see how far in it goes,.....an other 1/2"
Alright then, now that we have all the measurements we need time to go do some calculation and cut the shafts.

So since the overlap and the insert sitting inside the barrel is the same I'm cutting off 3 1/4" of the shaft
With heat take off the actual insert where the Field point/Broadhead screws in and place it into the shaft, not fully going to glue it yet until i make sure my cut is right

Well I messed it up, that missing picture was key I wrote down 2 3/4" but it must have been 1 3/4" because now I'm short one inch

@AirArcher66 Is a little space between the nock and the valve necessary or can it rest against the valve? Do you tend to lose the o-rings off of your nocks after shooting?
Upvote 0
Suppose you could ......I guess,
it's only about a 1/4" gap so either way I don't think it would make any real difference and I like to give myself a little room so if I make a mistake cutting I have some insurance.
.....don't really lose the O-rings but lose the entire nock when I have a pass through on a pig or target

some interest from members about shooting and fitting arrows with the REX platform

The insert is already glued on the shaft and loaded in the barrel, the flat black thing is a Blunt, for target shooting I much prefer a blunt over field points.
