1. the valve is choking the flow, A LOT, so a modded 1" sprinkler valve would def do the trick to get a 100+ yards

2. a 2" barrel is pretty large...go down to a 1 or 1.5" barrel and with the modded valve, your distance's will be EASILY doubled, even tripled

if you change your barrel to be 3 or 4 feet and chamber 2 or 3 feet and with the upgrades in the previous post you should easily get 120 yards.

And if you wanna build a barrel sealing piston valve this is a video by BC himself on how to make one.

P.S BC, Im not trying to make him build a piston valve instead of buying a sprinkler valve of you, Im just helping him out. :D
