The infamous Slug power Kit on my Gen1 Impact

The Slug Power Kit did not play well with what I consider very conservative barrel porting and shoved the slugs down into the port. So, I reinstalled my original pellet probe and decided just to use the new valve spring, that comes in the kit, and do some tuning. I managed to get some regular .5 and 1 inch five shot 100 yard groups going towards the end of my first tuning session. There were several more but figured someone would cry foul if I just circled groups among so many other holes in the target put there by a friend of mine so this is all you get. I was shooting the NSA 36.2 HP at 960-975 fps with my Gen1 Impact with a 700mm slug A liner installed. Only time will tell if it can get any better than it was before I drilled out the valve adjuster screw to install the spring from the kit. But it is looking pretty promising at the moment as I am very near where I was before the great and Infamous Slug Power Kit came around.

Most groups were similar in size unless the wind got them 3 to 7 MPH today. No breaks in the wind today it just kept blowing. I was aiming at the bullseye on both targets the wind did the poi change.

In all honesty though I don't believe this kit was made with the gen1 guns in mind. More like for an unmodified gen2 with the power plenum would be my guess.

Edit; A dual port transfer port would alleviate any of the problems I had.


 
Thanks, they are quite nice for sure but I am looking for them all to be like the left one. Even better like the right four shots in the left one. ;^) In my dreams. I was getting two and three out of five groups like that group before I did the spring rewerq so I expect to do just a little better now that I can tune a bit more accurately.
 
Nice grouping bioman ;)

I wanted to buy that kit for my MK2 PP but cancelled after some 3 weeks still out of stock. I had pretty much all my parts in drawers only ones I had to ask you for the new valve spring specs. I went to one automotive supply store and I found a close enough size that fits decent in place.

I still have somewhere about 12 tins of 33.9 gr JSB mk2 Heavies before I start buying slugs, but I made my Impact ready for higher power. My mod is the MK1-longer hammer spring + a thinner-weaker valve spring with a safety rubber ball.
 
I’m about to give up on all of this slug nonsense. I tune and tune and try different slugs and still looks like a shotgun pattern. Seems like you continually need to keep buying the newly released pieces of hardware to get you ever closer to the guys on YouTube who are shooting tiny groups at over 100 yards. How do they do it?

Lots of extra $$$ on top of that $2K initial investment.

I don’t know, maybe it’s Just me.
BUT my new Gen. 2 w 700 mm slug liner A is a monster pellet shooter w. JSB MK II. 
Last night, with my Rebuilt Gen. 1 W 600 mm Pellet Liner A, and some radical tuning, I was getting Some .2xx-.3xx groups at 80 yards. And yes, some groups were worse but overall, excellent!

.25s are the worst with slugs IMO. .22 and .30 are where its at.
