power adjuster?

i read the power adjuster from crosman is a power increaser and the mellon pa will let you decrease or increase spring tension
iirc someone said the crosman pa lets you decrease tension also im not sure on that though

I have the Crosman pa on my 2300S and I pulled it and compared it with a stock end plug.  Pretty much the same with the adjustment knob turned all the way out.

I'll have to checkout the Mellon adjuster.   I'd like to be able to setup this 2240 to decrease power *and* increase power.  Shooting inside I'm mostly concerned with noise and shots per cartridge, but it would be nice be able to crank it up again to poke holes in cans      With the 2300 hammer spring in the 2240 it takes a couple shots to pierce the cart so I don't want to go with an even lighter spring. 

Thanks for the info!

I wondering along the same line in regards to "power increases".  I've got one of Art's power adjusters and plan on putting it on a 2300KT.  All I want it to do is increase power beyond stock when I need it.  I know sometimes I'm going to come across a "can with 4 feet and a tail" that's going to take a hard hit to spin around

Art will be getting an order from me, too.  Thanks for the link.

The term 'power adjuster' is not incorrect, but is misleading. Technically, the device to which we are referring is called a pressure adjuster. This device will not yield a significant increase in power level over stock, but is more designed to allow an easy way to lower power when punching targets and increasing power to the guns inherent maximum fps when, say, plinking. A pressure adjuster has some  benefit with a 1377 if you are experimenting with air conservation. By adjusting springs, hammers and pressure, you can precharge a 1377 valve (kind of like a pcp), fire, and put in a few extra pumps for another full power shot without fully recharging the valve.

I just placed an order with art,
2250B Co2 cap and Power adjuster,
already have an awesome muzzle brake from him ...

i know your post is not meant to be funny
but you say its a pressure adjuster and power adjuster is in correct, then say its used to lower power and for increasing power
so in your own words its still a power adjuster,right?
i guess thats why we call them power adjusters(pa) or some call them rear velocity adjusters(rva)

It is a kinetic energy manipulator, unfortunately within the limitations of the spring.  So there will be no 4" long PA bolts, then.

by any name it does what it does!!!

Bingo! You can't create more power, but can adjust it within the limitations of the spring you are using.

Doesn't that put us back where we started?   Power Adjuster

sure looks that way!
call it what you will.

But... but... we NEED another 3 letter acronym so newbs stay confused longer.  It's the American way!   

I suggest POS (power orientation spring).  So, it's all decided then... 

Seriously, PA is pretty much what it is, but when I had referenced ma and pa vendors in an early post, then soon after while reading and searching came across "PA",  I had to think about it for a second...

good one!!!
