I'm looking for a balanced poppit valve for a project I have in mind. What balanced autococker or spyder valves are on the market? Are any?

Any help is appreciated.

Balanced poppet valve?

I don't know what that is. There is the mqvalve, the kind of valve with a spring pushing the plug closed from the front, and the kind where the spring is in the back(rocket valve, I think)

There are currently no balanced valve designs on the market for the cocker.

Yep. The mQ is something different, being that it's designed from the ground up as an electronically actuated valve.

For the spyder there is the VS valve.

Like drg said, the VS valve for spyders is a balanced poppit valve. I think it's $35 from Kingman.

Cool. Thanks alot.

I wonder why there isn't an aftermarket one out there? It seems like it would significantly change the performance of the gun. I imagine it and a lighter striker would nearly eliminate kick.

And I heard the MQ valve mentioned. That's essentially what I'm going to be making. All I need is a linear solenoid which is easy to find.
