Power Tube spacers

[TheTramp]

Do you want to use the longest spacer that will work or the shortest one? I know which way to move if there is bolt stick or leaking but several sizes will work in my Retro. I remember reading/hearing that you should go as far as you can in one direction (long/short) for the best performance.

I think it's longest. But you know I am confusing myself. I know B stick is go shorter but I think you want the longest one without B stick. So...longest is my bet.

Confirmation please?

See I thought you kept changing it till you got a leak. Looks like we'll need further input.

Yep we need more discussion to get on the same page. Stick or Down the barrel is confusing me today. Have to review. Sleepy today

Gentelmen?

I'm thinking of bolt stick as when the gun wont fire but isn't making any noise. The leak is the other end of spacer sizes when there is just a rush of air out of the tube like if you've blown out the powertube o-ring. I guess bolt stick and my "leak" are the same thing. Hmmmm.

With the trigger back? Leak down the barrel? Yes...doooh! That is what I was thinking but for some reason was reffering to Bolt stick. You go smaller to eliminate it. But as long as possible. Same answer I think. Trigger pull thing reason for longer.


I don't know what I was thinking B stick for. Oh wait...you brought it up! I gotta get some rest.

Hey Flip, is anyone going to be at Global tomorrow? I thought we were finally going to get everyone together but I haven't heard anything since Tuesday or so.

As far as the question goes, I know someone knows. I guess it's that the Tech forum has been so slow lately.
