Trying to narrow down the issue, I have a older 2+ years AS 150% hammer spring already installed it could be worn out.
I'm assuming this is in your 4.3? I've noticed that with shorter barreled pistols, you will get diminishing returns with high flow valves.

It's *possible* that your hammer spring has weakened, but I haven't seen this before.

One easy proof for this, is to drop a BB in to the bottom of the main spring housing to pre-load the spring a bit. The BB perfectly fits in there. Just make sure you manually check compression to make sure the strut doesn't bottom out, or you'll run in to bad times...

Is the oring the issue or should i keep looking? Nozzle is 2+ years old AS
I mentioned in the email I'll try and get replacements for you from the factory. Failing that, I have other piston heads here that o-rings can be extracted from.

I haven't tried A+ yet, so I can't comment... but the theory behind the product is sound, and many online reviews like it. I'm personally using the PDI W-Hold right now, but I have all three brands in stock right now. If I had the time, I would do a round-up test of all three and see which one excels...


Initial price list of inventory is now up:

Still lots unlisted... will hopefully get that up soon, along with photos and descriptions.
