Well, for those of you who have been waiting, I made a vid today. It's in Quicktime format, and I don't know how to change it to WMV or host it, but if someone could help me out with this, I'd like to get it goldwaved. Sorry, there's no paint (lvl10 was actin up as soon as I put paint in it), and it's really short...maybe just over 1sec of actual firing. BUT, it shows the full potential of this setup, FULLY cycling and reseting for each shot. I'll work on more vids later...

Why is the FABCO MSV-1 so popular to actuate the MPA-3? Why couldn't an autococker 3-way be used, like say, an ST bomb? I know it lacks spring-return and has an extra port, but that's nothing a 10-32 set screw and Wile. E. Coyote airsmithing can't fix. It seems like it could be advantageous due to the way in which it would be mounted and its short stroke.
If you look at the pneumag built during the RedEye (http://www.beog.org/redeye/pneumag.php) thing, they used a Clippard SMAV-3, which is shaped much like an autococker 3-way. I much prefer the way that was mounted, rather than how the MSV-1 is; with one screw and a lot of friction.
Perhaps there is no difference. But i'm just throwing the idea out there, in case it hasn't already been considered.Comment

because a cocker 3-way is actually a 4-way, has no return, and generally, a longer pull. the MSV-1 is very light/snappy, the MSV-2 is even lighter with a longer required pull.Originally posted by Makarov

Quick question - how light is the pull with the Fabco valve? Is it walkable? Did you do anything special to lighten the pull?Comment
-
how walkable it is depends on, well, your finger strength, the valve itself, and the valves location. the higher up the valve is in the trigger (the activation point) the greater walkability (longer and lighter pull). the MSV-2 achieves the same thing as putting the valve further up, just adding a lever to make the pull longer and lighter.Originally posted by BigEvil xvalve, ule body, logic vert frame, WWA barrel

I measured the frame with ULT installed at a 1.1oz (35g) midlength trigger pull. Shorty measured it at a 1.5oz pull he said.Originally Posted by BigEvil

With RT on/off I got about 2.1oz (70g). I used weights set in the middle of the trigger. So the weight of the trigger was probably helping itself. The minimum pull distance is about 1mm to 1.5mm.
The feel is still different than electro though. Not like a magnetic pull or a spring pull. It's a smooth constant pull force at all the distances, not clicky at all. Not snappy, but not sluggish. It kinda stays with your fingers with a constant force on the pull and release. It' unique and easy to get into a rythem with. I got to shoot a DM6 a few days ago. Kinda like that, only the DM6 still had an "electro" feel.
Would you call this walkable?

hey pneumagger:
where did you get that fitting on the top of shorty's lpr?
thanksComment

I took it out of my ION. So it will handle about 200+psi and take a beating. If i knew they were like $7 a peice, I woulda held onto it. Oh well... I've upgraded to an Emag

or at least what they are called?
thanks
(sorry for the thread highjack)
EDIT: found them thanks for the infoComment

would the MSV-1 or MSV-2 fit in an intelliframe?Comment

Yes.Comment

/they *should* both fit, I guess it depends on how you want to set it upComment
