I increased the restrictor plate transfer port hole to 4.3mm using a drill press and the 18.13 pellet chronograph results increased from just over 715 FPS to 800. I will lighten the poppet spring and see if I get further benefits. Inexpensive mod if you have access to a drill press.

What is your shot count now before you drop out of the regulated pressure?
@skimplyblimpzАй бұрын
Just as a slight update. After drilling mine out to .156 which is about 4mm, using 14.3gr domed crosman pellets my velocity went from about 780 with the hammer spring screw turned all the way in to about 800 with the screw turned all the way out and my shot count remained roughly the same before pressure drops off the reg. With the screw turned all the way in I believe my peak velocity with the same 14.3gr pellets was about 830 fps so that's roughly 50 fps gain peak velocity. With the screw turned all the way in however I got about 2 full mags so 14 rounds before velocity dropped off the reg so that's a significant difference but the option is there now for more power and has made the adjustment screw actually useful now. I did also notice after removing my barrel that the o rings on the outside diameter of the barrel were slightly chewed up so I could be losing a couple fps there.

I have drilled mine out to 4mm plus and have a c-88 machining plenum and drop block bottle adapter and went from 790's to 850 FPS. I also have an adjustable regulator set at about 2400.

My suggestion is if you want that much power you should buy another gun like an Avenger honestly. To each their own but this gun takes crows at 60 yards with crosman 14.3 grain pellets doing 745 FPS stock...straight down. Its fits a niche for guys that need something in the 18-20 FPE range. The more pressure you put on the valve the sooner it will wear out. Like I said...to each their own. This gun is perfect the way it came from the Snow peak factory. I have other guns for more power like the Avenger , LCS SK-19 .25 cal @ 70 FPE, FX Crown .22 @ 30 FPE, a Nova Vista Liberty .22 @ 44 FPE. All I'm saying is once you modify it the warranty is gone and so "MAY BE" the reliability, shot count, and possibly the accuracy. You do you. Stay blessed and safe y'all.

You hit the nail right on the head, this is more of a backpacking short rifle/pest control gun although if you adjust the hammer spring alone you can definitely take out a raccoon without an issue. It's just not made for heavy hunting and trying to modify it past what it's designed for is kinda pointless in my opinion but yes, to each their own. Modding things is always fun and not just about performance/efficiency.

read the conversation in the pinned comment from @slicktmi 2 months ago you should gain some fps regardless. his notos is now shooting 895 fps.. adjust the reg , open the restrictor,, adjusting the reg alone should give you 30 fps

Hi 🤠 Can you still sell the "Diana Chaser Safepac"? I have a Artemis/Snowpeak CP2 which is the same build and I realty like the light weight and accuracy. I have been looking to turn it into a PCP. I don't think I need as much as 3000 PSI but just more than what the CO2 delivers would be sweet. Any hep will be much appreciated. 👍

right below this comment on the pinned comment, a person drilled it and tested. 50 fps gain was the baseline before he did other mods, and is now shooting 900 fps with it,, look for the pinned comment from slicktimi.. SO the mod works extremely well and does work.
