I have since fixed the leaky piston sealing face, so we can now go up to higher pressures without worrying about the projectile rolling ou...

just a beautiful gun :twisted: :twisted:
We didn't ever take the gun above 80 PSI, didn't see a need to do. I would feel comfortable going to 120 PSI though.

i guess it really all depends what you are shooting out of it. if you dont need a 1 inch barrel then stick with the 3/4 and get a 3/4 sprinkler valve.

i tried the piston with the rubber bumper off and it wouldnt fire. instead of messing with it more i just put it back on. i know i am sacrificing performance with the added weight, but i am okay with that right now. i will save it for a different day to attach the bumper to the back plug.
