I don't have the weight of the stock hammer but I do know it's quite heavy compared to a lot of the rifles I've had over the years. Anyone make a lighter hammer?
they are around 75 grams, however most other PCPs have heavier springs to go with lighter hammers.
So one issue to start with a lighter hammer would mean using a heavier spring and harder cocking.
the difference between sub-12 and 'export' is the extra force from increased hammer travel, if anything a heavier hammer and a lighter spring would be an advantage.
More gains to be nmade from airflow
I've got a test valve working right now of the balanced variation. I was hoping there would be available source for something in my maybe half the weight. This would save me from making one.
