I have screwed around and messed up both rifles can any one help me get back to stock settings. I have all the stock parts I just lost my tablet with all my information. Thank you in advance.
FMGlass, If you say what city/state you are in, I am sure someone in your area can give you a hand. The best way is for you to define what you want, and have someone with a chrony in your area tune for that. I am in extreme Southern Arizona.
If you have a chronograph I can walk you through any set-up you'd like or help talk you through any aftermarket parts your trying to use. The mrod is a good gun but with some aftermarket parts you can make it great!
I do a mix of target and hunting, I'm lost as to tuning. I bought the ssg and tuned it but it was lacking the power I wanted. Then I got the tss mod and I can't get it to work the way I want it. Now I just want a setup that works for general use. I have access to high pressure air so pumping not a problem. I'm new to tuning a mod without the two mods I stated.
If your lacking power with the ssg and tss it sounds like you have a stock transfer port ( in between the barrel and valve body) and you mite also need to unscrew the air restrictor screw on the side of your gun in your valve body not all the way though. But if you ever want all your gun is capable of, you'll have to go with a hill valve.
I'm looking to be able to shoot 25.4 grain pellets at 850 to 900 fps and get a desent shot count. I have the vms screw all the way out and it is a stock transfer port. I don't want to spend any more on the rifles than I have to. I would like to get back to shooting than working on them with bad results.
I unstand not wanting to spend that much on a valve but I highly recommend getting or making a high flow transfer port and if your comfortable using a good sharp drill bit to open up the barrel and valve body to .187 will make a difference to but you should be able to get there with just the transfer port and get a much better shot count then stock. Tim hill sells the transfer port or you can go to home depot and get the tubing for a couple dollars and make it yourself. As long as its pretty close to flat on both ends it will work fine. I get being frustrated and just wanting it to work right again but if you do that with the ssg or tss you'll have a much better shot count at that tune. I prefer the ssg over the tss but my ssg is home made.
Theres not much stock on my mrods. My .25 armada was at 950 with 33.95 gr jsb but I de-tuned it down to 900 fps for 16 shots regulated and home made ssg. It should be more shots but I went with the 30 cal reg when I should have got the .25 reg. My two.30 cals. Are mostly custom to. With one having a bottle kit on it and there both tuned for 900 fps with hill valves in all. And tss in those two. My second .25 is tore apart and waiting on a Cothran valve to shoot bullets then I have a gen 1 .22 all stock in a tyrex stock thats tuned for 890 with 18 gr jsbs. But I never shoot it anymore. It almost sounds like you have a 10 lb. spring in your ssg instead of the 12 lb. Spring.
My armada was the only one I ever shot bone stock and maxed out I could only get 820 out of it with the 25 gr jsbs. That transfer port really restricts the gun.
