I got my level 10 installed... (Question)

[DyNo!]

I am running an X-Valve...

I got it running fine with no problem. I haven't ever done it before.

The only thing is, I don't have a chrony at home.

I tried using the longest bolt spring.

I screwed it pretty far in. I wasn't comfortable going any further.

I did the same with the medium spring and no luck.

There was a short bolt spring that came with the set.

As per the instructions, I used my old spring from my classic reg and it runs fine.

There are no leaks and it passes the squeegee test.

If I can find a loose ball I will test that.


My question is, can I fire the gun at 280 FPS with my old spring?

My old spring was from a classic valve and I now have an X-valve with a Level 10.

Yes, it will shoot 280fps w/ the lvl7 spring. The only problem w/ velocity is the long springs. The longest usually will not shoot UNDER 270-280fps.

Just keep screwing the nut in till it shoots w/ the long spring. If it starts leaking before that happens, you have other concerns.

Also, normal size text works too. :)

[DyNo!]

Nah...

I like GIGANTIC text...

:ninja:




Also the bolt seems like it is going fast enough to chop when it hits a pen. If I change out the spring, would it slow down?

I'll do that when I get to a chrony.

The level 10 is a 2 stage bolt system. I imagine you are holding the pen close to the barrel side of the feed neck. At this point, the bolt is starting to speed up. What you want to test is how soft it is towards the rear of the feedneck. best way to test? Take a piece of tape and put it on a paintball. Dangle it in and shoot.
