Enjoying the toys that you get to play with afterwards isn't so bad either

Finally I could test it
First impressions
1- hammer screw is much tight than my X. Nice! No unscrewed any more.
2- brass and pellet probe are not bigger, are the same. I took my mod barrel and pellet probe to compare the monsters @ 140 bar 0.22 cal
Stock mk2 700mm and probe: 900fps
Elongated 700mm and L shape probe: 950fps
So I can tell for sure is a gain of 50fps just that. And doing it, you can shoot slugs @ 140 bars no sweat.
Accuracy out of the box is great (as expected)
More to come, I will check internals soon

Ok, so... Grab my dremel, elongate the brass port, less than 5minutes, test vk 24 gn @140
Power wheel now on 5, 950fps...valve know few turns until 940 and set...first 75m vk24gn 4 shots almost in the same spot, and the one to the right was a wind gust.

Do you have the hammer weight installed shooting 24gn? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to tune for the same VK 24gn with the hammer weight installed but I get 954- 960 fps at 120bar and the power adjuster (hammer spring adjuster) on Min. I even backed the adjuster out more with an allen key trying to get the lightest hammer strike. My suppressor is very quiet so I hear the air come out behind the slug kind of like a blowgun sound so it makes me think I'm using more air than necessary. I didn't adjust the valve stop yet because the extreme spread was only 6 and lots of duplicate shots.

I haven't checked but the mk2 looks like do not have hw (i can hear the guide moving when I tilt the mk2). I remove the hw from my X for pellets, was giving too much tention.
The hw is really not necessary for less than 145b probably (or so), the head gives too much pre tention to the spring, on lower bar settings, avoiding have less tention even when you unscrew the hts all the way. Waisting air. It happen to me before on testing.
The 30gn gave me good results on the pellet liner @ higher reg pressures and the 22.5 vk too @ 1000 fps
