@Mrmetals made the buttstock.

reg 110
predator poly mags, 885fps
Air Arms 16 gr, 900 fps

I usually run it hotter, closer to 920fps and 125bar reg, but I down tuned it because my compressor failed and I needed to conserve air.

I set it and forget it but the compressor died, otherwise left alone at 125bar reg setting for everything.

MY COMPACT I SOLD BUT WITH THE POWER PLENUM I WAS GETTING 72 PUS A FEW SHOTS ON THE REG AT 927FPS WITH 16GR AND RIGHT AT 900 FPS WITH 18 GR RED AT 120 BAR , THE PLENUM REALLY HELPS AS BEFORE PLENUM I WAS AT 58 OR SO SHOTS WITH SAME SETTINGS, 

I think there is some hammer bounce with the stock hammer spring. Comes with no free play and is a pretty heavy spring. I know RTI promotes the prophet as a high velocity shooter and so a heavier spring is required for high pressure. I shortened mine a couple coils so that I could unscrew the hammer spring for lower speed tunes and a small amount of free flight for the hammer. Got more efficient that way also with a softer report.

yes my full size prophet i did same with the spring very efficiant also 

Bumped my reg down to 90-95 bar. Here is some of the groups from my pellet tests in the basement range. AVG, ES, SD are the numbers top group 5 shots, middle group 10 shots and bottom 5 shots. Groups really tightened up on the lower reg setting. so I think I will keep it there for a while and see how it does.

@joedirt199 impressive groups. How highly do you have the hammer spring cranked up?

Maybe a turn in or two from flush. I did shorten the spring by 2 coils to give me more room to tune.

I shoot off my workout bench with a atlas knock off and just hold the buttpad in the shoulder. Not as steady as a bench and sandbags but gets it done.

Element Helix with an Orion side focus wheel, Vortex scope level, Falx suppressor, two Orion mags, the Atlas bipod in the pic is now an Accu-Tac extended forward with a graphite tube. 22 cal currently set at 150 with the hammer spring turned in 1 1/2 turns slinging JBS redesigns downrange at 960 FPS.

@dens228

It looks awesome man. I may swap out my aluminum rail extender tube for carbon fiber, the weight and looks.

You are tuned up for the JSB RD 25.4 grainers. I left mine tuned for 16 and 18 gr because I have the Taipan VL .25 to shoot 25.4

I'm working on putting an FX Impact / Maverick butt pad on my Compact. The OEM plate on the RTI guns isn't long enough for me, and I don't need any $200-$300 custom setup.

I removed all of the lug area, that allows it to be attached to the FX gun, down to just a flat surface.

Right now I just have it tied in place with some flat braid string to make sure it's what I want. So far, MUCH better. Though I also like the Mr. Metal pad too. I'll see.

Can anyone tell me if the shroud is threaded at either end? I was thinking maybe a carbon fiber tube would be cool.

Shroud is threaded on both ends. Same threads
