I agree, nothing wrong with the flow on the stock bolt. I use an ANS quick pull, I like not having a pin to drop/lose. Going for effeciency is the best way to go, doing so (sweet spotting) will drop your pressure in itself. Low pressure will be quieter, and gentler on the paint. I don't see what effect low pressure has the operation of the pneumatics, can you be specific BBHostess? I am one of those that claim my gun will stop on a ball rather than chop through, if tuned correctly anyone can do it. I use an ANS mini ram, I think last time I checked the operating pressure it was around 120 psi, it needs to run at a higher pressure due to its smaller size, but the end effect on the ball is unchanged. Just turn the front reg down to the point where it will cock reliably every time. Don't know how I can demonstrate that for all (video?), just being honest and hope you'll take me at my word. Hope it helps. Razor : Hi, : The stock bolt on your cocker (I'm assuming its 2K+) is one of the best out there. You paid for it, why not use it? : As far as low pressure goes, the myth is that "the lower the pressure = the higher the efficiency". In fact a cocker operating at very low pressure can be very inefficient when it comes to air usage (shots per fill). Efficiency is what you should be striving for. There are a few sites out there with helpful info as far as properly timing your marker for maximum efficiency. My fav is: : http://www.paintballravi.com/Articles/AutocockerInfosheet/ACTroub.html : What low pressure does is makes your gun quieter and will possibly allow you to lower the pneumatic pressure. Some claim low enough cocking pressure that their gun won't chop half fed paintballs but just pinch them without breaking them. (Not sure this has been actually demonstrated, but it sure sounds good)
