Hey I noticed that the BKO valve pin had no o-ring. If you had one would it let you go down in pressure and save air alittle?

it would only make a difference if the pin is very loose in the valve body

It's sorta lose, I guess it would add like 10 shots to your count though.

its just another thing to lube. unless its ridiculously loose its not worth it (especialy for a BKO)

If you put a lighter valve spring would you beable to lower the pressure and keep efficiencY? And making the ram spring ligher?

making either spring lighter will hurt efficiency. if you lightened up the valve, hammer spring, and lowered the LPR you might not get too bad of efficiency but why would you want to do that any way?

Makes it quieter and less kick. I just want to try different things.

that idea works in most markers but since you have the fixed force of the ram spring in the BKO you can't get away with dropping the tension of the entire gun like that very easily

What do you mean by fixed force?

you can't change the force of a spring like that as easily as changing a LPR. also you will always still have the problem of the ram spring. the problem it creates is that your LPR has to be high enough for the hammer to strike the valve with reasonable force but it will always be forced back at LPR PSI+spring force, causing marginaly higher recoil than a fully pneumatic like a bushy

Well it wont really be a problem if you lower the HPR pressure and vale spring. I have a spyder light valve spring that works great and is like half the tension of the stock spring.
