Level 10 Question

[YourMasterJulian]

Ok I just bought a cheap mag with level 10 installed. The catch is that it didn't come with any of the unused spacers/shims/springs, etc. It shoots at 280-300 fps fine, but This weekend i have to play indoors where the limit is 250 fps. Will this require re-adjustment of the level 10? If so im in trouble with no parts.

no, it shouldn't need adjustment. Just turn the back velocity screw out a tiny bit.

Unless you've got the shortest spring (brass colored) in the gun, it most likely won't fire at that low of a velocity.

[Joni]

Not true. You will probably need a shorter spring, if you don't have the shortest spring already. If you can get hold of a lvl7 spring you will be fine.

edit: Someone was faster =). I was referring to Danman69's post

[YourMasterJulian]

thanks for the help, i hope this works. i dont have a chrono but i tried taking the velocity down until the gun wouldnt fire and it didnt seem to develop any leaks or anything.

Changing to a different spring won't change anything operationally except the pressure range at which the gun will fire.

I appear to have the shortest spring. Am I right to say that, when installing the level 10, the ultimate goal is to get it to work with the shortest spring? If so:groovy

Not really, b/c the longer the spring, the softer on paint. The mid spring is what many people use. (I can get mine down to 250-260 on the Mid) It's a good mix between operating velocities, efficiency & softness on paint.

Your goal should be to get it to shoot with the longest spring you can at the desired velocity range.
