PING BE GONE!!! Vulcan 3 Thanks Derrick Wall

[Sleeper192]

Thanks so much to Derrick Wall. I saw that he has solved this, but did not see details. I reached out and he sent me pics where he had taken a 25m piece of PVC and placed it in vinyl tubing for 31mm total, and slipped it on the valve side. The PVC I had was measuring 26.5 and making the finished product too big. I did however have some 25mm reinforced vinyl which I slipped inside the outer vinyl to make 31. I degassing the rifle ( my first time) to do this, and slipped the finished product on the valve side.
AMAZING DIFFERENCE!!!

Thanks again Derrick,

Great Job

Doesn’t it feel good and better yet, sound even better

 

[Sleeper192]

The tube fit nicely inside the air tube just in front of the valve, so no feel difference at all.
SOUNDS MUCH BETTER

What “feels” good, is to work on your own airgun with good successful results.

Factory fresh V3 .30 (700mm) arrived today, while reading Owner's Manual, this page fell out. This, and other, "V3 De-Ping Threads" had me anticipating doing the same for mine, is it possible AGT has addressed this issue? WM

One question. Replace the aluminium tube spacer and install in plenum side??

 

[Sleeper192]

I did not replace the spacer, mine was already on large plenum. I just removed valve end and slipped it in the tube by the valve.

Sleeper,
Feel free to use photo, and story, if you wish to start a new thread alerting V3 owners to AGT factory-installed depinger. WM

Does it need to be a certain length?

 

[Sleeper192]

I am not sure, I think I made it about 2 1/2 inches but I bet it is not critical.

Gotcha, thanks for the info! I saw that you're selling your vulcan withba factory depinger in it, did you home made version not work as well?

 

[Sleeper192]

I really could not tell any difference, but I ordered it when I ordered a heavy spring. I got into a Revere, which is what I was headed towards before I traded for the V3. The V3 is a great gun, and has put many squirrels in the freezer, but I really prefer a traditional style rifle.

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Gotcha, I'm liking mine so far. It's supposed to have already come with the depinger but it's pretty loud in my ear, so idk if this depinger is cracked or if it even is inside.

Mine had the factory depinger installed to but is really loud on the ear anyway.
