Ok I need help on my gun... I need ideas on what else to do to lower operating pressure down under 500psi...

Setup:
M3 Sniper
Modified stock bolt(polished w/ venturi removed)
Polished hammer
32 degrees magnaport valve + max flow pin
Palmer stabilizer
32 degrees spring kit
Psycho Ballistics drop w/ on off

Please post and idea, no matter how small or large on lowering the operating pressure. It currently runs at 750-800psi and 265fps with heavy main and light valve spring. This seems a bit weak for what it should be able to do.

-Thanks

Rgr that, got that from another person too. As of 7:15pm est I got it drilled out to 0.189, about .015 larger than 3/16.

VA Drilled

Whats next that im missing?

thats about all i can think. ur setup isn't the highest flowing but would probly let u run at a decent psi

Welp if you can think of anything else later, doesnt matter if I would have to buy different parts, it would be appreciated.

This is what you need for LP:

Polished internals
High-flowing bolt
High-flowing valve
High-flowing VA
High-flowing regulator
An efficent barrel with little porting
Macroline or Steel braided hose
Spring kit

So my advice to you would be to buy an aftermarket vertical adapter, change your 32 degrees valve for a maddmann rocket valve, and tell us what barrel you are using.

Thanks for the help duck,

Im gonna try the VA that I drilled out and maybe see if I can borrow an aftermarket VA to test the difference. Went and ordered the Spudnuk'l LP bolt last night and im currently looking for the cheapest place to find the MM Rocket valve.

BTW, using J&J Ceramic 14" barrel, if i need to, ill just tape up some of the porting and see how it works. Looking for a different barrel but I have a tight budget.

Sounds like your problem is with efficiency, not neccesarily flow...

I'm guessing your long dwell setup is just wasting air. The palmer also may not be comfrotable running that high...at that high a pressure, tank fluctuations can start showing through.
