Increasing velocity on a 1300KT

[fishinwrench]

I have this little darling... 

And I'd like to get it shooting closer to 11-12fpe. It is currently shooting at about 9.5 fpe (545fps with 14.3gr.) with 12 pumps.

Here is the catch though ....I don't wanna pump it more than 12 times. So is there anything I can do to boost velocity without having to add more pumps ?

Will simply adding a larger TP help?

Heavier spring?

Since it is obviously already dumping all of the available air I am wondering if dumping the available air FASTER will boost my velocity ? Does that even make sense? 



I have a basically stock shorter barreled 1322 that actually shoots faster than this gun ....so that tells me that there IS a way.

First let me say I know nothing about your 1300kt. I don’t know if this will help you but there are a few videos out there on how to improve the Crosman 760 its possible that may give you a tip in what can be done. But it can be nothing.

Ok I'll go get it. I will need a flat face piston also, right ?

Will this up my velocity with the same number of pumps?

I already have a BOSS TP for this gun but haven't installed it yet.

Yes on the flat top piston. You could flat top your valve if you have a drill press. A heavier hammer spring and a lighter check valve spring. Oh how did the PRod turn out

With a.flat top valve/piston it will be like this. 6pumps will be like 10 pumps , 10 pumps will be like 15 pumps 12 pumps would be like I dunno 20 pumps. The set up is more efficient, creates more pressure per pump. A mod I used to do is, open the valve and cut off 3-4 male threads to increase the volume of the valve more air behind the pellet

The transfer port is another spot to look at. And also the bolt. I've used a drill press to turn the probe way down and the replace the oring with a slightly bigger one, lol the oring out of a bic lighter was the magic mod some decades ago... you can just put extended probe into Google polishing the tube the hammer rides in will also give you a small bump

Oh yeah look for an adjustable piston I got a valve and piston kit once that was not adjustable, didn't fit the stroke. But that was a long time ago
