Just about got her dialed in and I couldn't be happier. My cocker got jealous of my rekindling of mag love and proceeded to break down. She better watch out, or I might dump her entirely. Just kiddin' dear!
This is a more or less unremarkable Classic, with a Boo-Yah on-off w/ different pin (hypermag I think), level X. MSV-2 and MPA-3 pneumatics. Something just so satisfying about it.
I was going for a sleeperish look, with a grey body and stainless valve, but never really had planned on the internal LPR. I was able to keep the safety functional, which I really appreciate since the pull is so light, and it kind of adds to the sleeper effect.
And here is the video:
I was hoping to get 14-15 bps performance out of her, which is basically all my fingers can do. Despite being warned that classic valves have problems over 12 bps, this one doesn't show even a hint of shootdown, and the sound waves check out to 14-16bps in that clip. Suffice to say it exceeds my expectations!
Still got a few finishing tweaks, shortening the trigger pin to move the trigger back in the frame at rest, and cleaning up the routing of the hose, especially externally.
I was at first worried about the high placement of the MSV-2 and the subsequently short arm. I find that the MSV-2 has such an incredibly low actuating force that it is actually TOO light for my fingers. It hardly gets any return force at all, which actually tends to encourage short stroking and difficulty walking. But since I have the short arm, I get a bit more return force and a very short pull, which makes walking very "electro-like." I don't think I'd want the pull much longer, which would be the case if the 3-way kept the longer arm (depending on trigger pin placement of course).
So, yeah ... pneumagging is a great option for classics! Big thanks to AO (and its memberbase) for providing such complete information so as to enable me to have built this.
