You can greatly reduce piston seal wear by giving it a larger area to seat on.

hmmm, yeah spose they would after a while. well it all depends on how much the valves move i guess ... i spose if you machine all your parts outta hard steel then they wont deform !! dont forget that aluminium are very malleable metals if that makes sense .....




check my original post i have added pictures of my newly made valve

Given the metal construction and the fact that it's the pressure actually keeping the valve shut, I'd say you're good for 500 psi at least. Did you have it machined or did youm ake the parts yourself?

i machined the part myself with a file !! on a wood lathe all the bit exposed to high pressure air are over 1mm thick, and brass. but the 3/8" to what ever main body bit is stock standard.

your diagram in the initial post... is essentially a Crossman C11 and it's airsoft variants. check out the parts diagram. great design- cheap, high velocities.

The airforce condor is not nearly the most powerfull pcp in the .22 class..

The condor has about 65 footpounds at best.. and the beaumont has.. 110.. Harrrrrrrrrrr. :x
