150 mods

[Cross Pistol Packer]

Had left the 150 pistol alone since re blueing it after the rust problem,anyhow thought I would give the valve a little modding,tried a lighter valve spring,crono says 4.38 ftlbs with 14.4 grain pellet thats up from 4.1 ftlbs
The spring was only a little lighter now found one a good third less strong,some dremmel work today to open up ports & round of sharp edges in valve. Will crono tonight,will be nice to hit 5 ftlbs.
Had forgot how good a little pistol the 150 is.

45 bucks is a great price  the seal kit was 15 bucks on ebay.

gunshows are great!

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I have never heard of an airgun show anywhere but in the upper east coast area or on the left coast.
The only airguns I have seen at regular gun shows are the cheap Chinese break-barrels and I wasn't in the market for one of those.

Buy that 150,you will love it
Test fired my 150 this evening,looks like around 4.5 ftlbs is about as much as can be made with such a short barrel,think if I try to extract more power,wasted Co2 will vent from muzzle.
Still as I use it for paper target & tin can blasting its fine.
This 150 is the later model,with one piece barrel,which means breech & barrel have been machined from one solid steel bar.
so fitting a longer barrel would be difficult.
