I'm looking to purchase am upgraded valve for my m-rod and can't decide between a Hillair gun and a W.A.R. valve. Does anybody have any experience with either brand? Or Pros and cons of both?

.25 Marauer valve upgrade

I have both. What all would you like to know? I have been able to get the same amount of power and shot count from both. If your goal is more stock to slightly elevated power, I think the hill is better. If you want max power, both worked equally as well. I think the WAR valve is overpriced based on the fact a Hill is $95, a WAR is $165, and both perform much the same.
I only have one Hill valve and 3 WAR valves. Maybe I just got lucky with my Hill valve?? If all Hills perform the same, that would be my choice.

Thanks ajshoots im looking for increased shot count and the ability to increase power. I was just wondering why the hill valve was so much cheaper.

I think the Hill is priced competitive and the WAR is overpriced. If the WAR was around $125, I would be more inclined to buy another WAR. I usually build for max power and the WAR does make power rather easy. But, for $70 less, the Hill is a better bargain in my mind. Both have great customer service and both are very well made.

I have a .30 that pushes 44gr jsb's at 870fps with a Hill Valve. A .25 shooting JSB 25gr kings at 964fps War valve. Another .25 shooting eunjin 43gr at 850fps with a WAR valve. Finally a .22 with WAR valve shooting JSB monster 25gr at 924fps.

Wow!!! Awesome results. What size transfer port and hammer spring do you use? (on the 25's)
Also any tuning info would help a ton!!!

.185 to .190 TP's and usually 12.5lbs springs, sometimes 10lbs springs. I fully blueprint my guns and tuning is a matter of pellets and air. What pellets do you want to shoot? With JSB kings, a 12.5lbs spring usually needs little to no preload and sometimes I even cut down the springs a bit and fine tune with the striker adj.
