Hi Kev,


I would like to try a double tap inertia in my Mk1 which has been converted to MFR spec by yourself.  Is this a drop in modification or would the gun need to come to you to be set up.


Cheers

its basically a drop in,though you may have to adjust power a little via hammer adjuster back plug,power tends to drop around 20 fps with same hammer spring on some guns as you are not getting the hammer bounce sending pulses of air up the barrel behind the pellet.

These work fantastically well.  I have one in the chassis build and the way Kev has set it up I get nigh on 100 shots from a 200cc bottle on a 220bar fill.  Insane!

what calibre and barrel length is that Tim  I've got a .20 calibre with 11.5 inch barrel with 200cc bottle that does 230 shots on 220 bar with amazing consistency of around 11 fps spread over the full charge.

it was that really short barrel Kev which I sent up to you..... .177.   You tried all sorts of reg pressures and settled on 140 bar.

The consistency was around 11fps across the fill if I remember correctly.  Very accurate for a short barrel at 50 yards  8)

KevG

yes I remember it now tim,nice short little gun that m8

Shot count on my Mk2 177 is high with the DT,  480cc c/f bottle gives  465 shots @220bar.
Must be getting near time to top up... tin of Premier 10.5s is getting low ;D
