Has anyone made a new poppet valve for the Zeus 72 cal and out of what material? Also... How big in diameter is the poppet valve and valve housing hole? Are these bigger valves are also breaking/failing like is reported on their smaller big bore brethren.

How about anyone's guess on the approximate size of the .72 Cal's valve size???

Delrin would be best. Also make sure you don't oil it when putting the stem on it will break after a couple of shots...

I don't suppose you know what the outside diameter of the poppet valve is?

I don't blame you there! I'm wondering the size out of a curiosity to determine what size valve it takes to move that much air.

Take yours out and measure it all it takes is cheap calipers.

I don't own one either. I'm not even interested in the actual type of big bore. Just the size of valve and ports to make that power in a .72 caliber.

Well it's gonna be pretty damn big... Have you seen the 82cals on helium?
