@tkarlmann Well, the balance valve provides a wide range of tuneability with a reduction of required opening force, while also pneumaticaly closing quickly to preserve tank air and, if tuned appropriately, increase accuracy via less mechanical forces and vibrations as well as less turbulence (excess air) behind the projectile... overall, it provides a smother shot cycle with potential for more efficiency and / or more power, depending on your desired tune / output.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 Where do I get one? Price? Accuracy boost?

I don't have one of those currently and don't know where it might be leaking from. I would contact them, and they may be able to lead you to the cure.

You just mentioned the regulator... but are you referring to the valves' pin and seat?

I have some new ones being manufactured now, and I hopefully will have them done in about a week, maybe a touch longer.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 Thanks !! can you guys do the installation and how much if i pay to send it to you,,,,,i'm in San Diego California ,,,,forgot to tell you its a B.P 2564 model

@elcompamartinez2647 How about you grab my phone number from the website and give me a call so we can discuss what you have in mind? Jsairrifles.com I could put together an installation video so that you could do this rather simple install yourself and avoid significant shipping costs... or maybe you were thinking of giving it an overhaul and want me to tune it up, possibly add a balance valve, etc?

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 Thanks !! Sounds good i am a 75 yr old guy and can't do to much physically or mentally 🥲,,,,i will let you know if i decide to call thanks again for been such a nice guy

Yes, I ran out of inventory and had some manufacturing delays... though they ought to be finished shortly!

Will do! Mostly made and entirely assembled and tuned right here in the Rogue Valley, in the heart of what should be the 51st State of Jefferson!

Greetings, I have come very close to doing just this in the past, but I don't want it to be copied and reproduced by China... patent protected doesn't seem to matter... but I will consider a clever service video. Thank you for your input.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510I'd really want to get one but the balanced valve concerns me a little. I'd like to see how it is configured. Maybe you could send me the details showing how it's made and basically how it works? If you're ok with that, I'll give you my email address.

I'm glad it helped! Thank you for your support!

Greetings Rador420, would you please give me some substance to how it is wrong? I have not had the time to re-watch this today - I am the new owner and did not make this video and I do not make these parts currently... I considered deleting the entire video, but first, I would appreciate hearing what you see to be wrong, so that I can take it into account when I watch it again soon. Thank you in advance.

I believe I already did a teardown of a P-Rod in a different video... but I'm about to do more here shortly... waiting for parts to arrive, then I will assemble and take some more video.

Is your P-Rod a stock setup?

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 yes it is still stock after 4 years it's starting to develop a slow leak. The only other video I could find was a guy from Vietnam and he does not speak English. If you were to take a guess where do you think it's leaking from ? It is not leaking from the pressure.😎👍

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 I looked on your videos last week but I did not see it I will look again😎👍

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 is Travis not still affiliated? Cuz he's on the forums every single day wasting time telling people they're wrong about stuff that doesn't even matter and acting like he owns the entire industry and nothing he says should be challenged. Fuck that guy and anyone who makes excuses for him

Well, for the PRod, because the pistols have a smaller diameter tube than the rifles, I do have Balance Valves as well as AR buffer tube adapters (for a solid tail stock mount - while still having access to tuning adjustments)... more videos of the pistols are coming, soonish.

The Field and target is built for consistency and it does it quite well. Took me 20 shots to have two hits on a 10in target at 174y. I've put around 2k shots before that at 8y-37y and I have a nice scope. Consistency is what you're paying for. Can't kill what you can't hit. 2k shots with a nice scope. Wish I would have recorded it. Hold over was 20 in left and 126 up. Crossman prem heavy. Reg is set at factory 2000psi. New I was getting 45 shots or so. Now I have to replace orings, I'm down to 20 and I feel it in my face lol.

It is the same EXACT process with the balance valve.

I was stumped by your comment until now... I just found that some of the P-Rod balance valve housings have an oversized O-ring groove - so the valve is extra tight, to too tight going in the tube... I'm sorry that I didn't notice the machining of some housings are out of tolerance... I just ordered O-rings that may fit well for this situation so that I can simply send a different o-ring out to you... otherwise, I would be happy to alter your valve housing so that it fits in the tube! (I was stumped because the dimensions of the valves should be the same and should install exactly the same...I have installed some valves just fine, but recently found some that don't fit (too tight!) - I'm sorry about that! - I assume this is your issue?)

Remember, you have my valve, I sent it back to you , and as I have 3 P Rods, would really like to get one that fits - respectfully, Steve Vines

I build a balance valve - not stock... More efficient, more powerful, smoother, more quiet, less spring force, easier cocking. Approximate Stock max output: 22 cal about 30fpe. 25 cal about 50fpe.

What are you looking for?

Breehes and trigger sir

Can I buy them from you sir?

I like the setup 👍

@@blondenebaptiste288 I think it would be best if you call me about these items

I don't believe there was a buffer o-ring in this video - depending on the caliber and tuning sometimes they are not needed, however, I am at the point now where I put them in as standard because there are tunings that it can really help stabilize and tighten up the velocity spread, plus it has potential to quiet and smooth out hammer impact as well as protect and elongate the valve wear-components' lifespan. Also, more often than not, I aim to tune the balance valves with a pneumatic closure instead of mechanical impact limits... This is how the new balance valves have been restructured and redesigned to provide more stability in tuning and some more efficiency as well. So to answer your question... Most of the time, yes.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 you are awesome for your quick reply i have a .25 gen2 i have your new valve and tss and hamer and ssg i can not get free flight for the hammer and if i need a buffer what should i do thanks

@@johnrodgers5297 you ought to be able to get free flight... Hard to say from this vantage point, but maybe back the striker up... Maybe give me a call to more precisely figure it out... I don't have a link on the website currently to just order this o-ring but could do so over the phone... Eventually I'll update the website to be able order wear components more readily.

Heck yeah! someday you may wanna check out one of my new Rogue Raptors for even more smooth power and higher stable shot count... And I definitely would love to check out your sweet Curmudge Inn - looks awesome!... I certainly miss living in Alaska!

I'm sorry but I'm not certain... It may be possible to modify or adapt for a spring stopping guide.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 It's all good thanks. I might try and take it apart eventually and start tinkering with it. I know you guys can tune the marauders into 100 yard laser beams with the right hammer, springs and regulators

I would check the o-ring there... That can certainly effect your power output.

This is tricky to answer fully from this vantage point, I would like to know more... Caliber, tuning, grain; what valve, what is it currently producing, what do you want it to produce... Possibly why depending on some of these answers... Does the hammer have free flight, or is there pre-load on the springs? I'm shooting in the dark a bit here, but instead of shimming the springs simply tighten the adjuster... Possibly try a Spring Stopping Guide Sub-Assembly to pick up serious efficiency, and potentially extra power at the same time - providing the ability to add pre-load and free flight simultaneously, you may need to port some of the build out... However, If you really want power, a feathery light and smooth ride along with an efficiently high shot count... Check out a Rouge Raptor... Catch one of ya can.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510 hi i was wondering if you could help me with some advise please i got my pcp brand new .it should be firing 11.4 ft pound .i new it was low power thats why i wanted new hammer spring ,so i put it on the chronograph to day its only shooting 5.8 ft pound .hammer spring is ok there are no leaks the power adjuster moves ok ... it will cost me tomuch to send it back to gun company and they said if i do i goto pay for repairs and it mite get lost as they been loosing returns and they wont refund if that happens ,what could be the problem and where should i start looking . as im going to try repair it my self ,it is a 177 pcp with free floating hammer and power adjuster screw on it on low power it dosnt even push the pellet out , could it be the valve or maybe something stuck or loose in the air systems im lost as what it could be any help would be appreciated pease kind regards luke

I've never seen a kratos in person... Also, extremely busy, would not be able to get to your custom project for a while... But I'd be interested to see your kratos and discuss it with you.

@@Maffew3114 sounds like we ought to share a conversation.

Well, if you are running a Raptor (one of the first generations) versus the New Rogue Raptor it will be different... And honestly I don't remember exactly...I just reviewed the previous video 'Fresh .25 Assembly - First Mag Results' and it was about 1500 psi... This is the same exact rifle in both videos... And extremely close to the same tuning.

@@jeffersonstateairrifles7510Many thanks. You forgot to mention the Brand of the barrel, cheers. Oh yes, will it shoot slugs accurately and consistently? I ask because a twist of 1:22 might seem a little slow. I might be wrong but that's why I'm asking. 🙂

I have been attempting to... Estimated delivery was last October... So hopefully soon-ish! I intended to check on them today but at this rate it'll have to be tomorrow... Eight months to get the raw aluminum...
