| One option might be to drill out the recock jets a bit. Thats what we did in the old days to improve cold weather performance. However, its a bit tricky is you can't just drill the hole larger, because the cupseal will not seat properly. Instead, you can drill tiny holes through the brass core, or use a file/saw and cut "slots" into the existing hole. Or use a siphon tank. That will elliminate the shootdown, and give your cycling a boost at the same time. nick

| thanks fellaz, last night I used co2 becuase my Hpa was empty. I am gonna go it filled today and see if that works. It burped off a good amount of rounds with no prob but then I went inside to grap more paint then it started not cycling. I had to recock it every few shots... So would HPA be the answer? |

| It imagine it would be easy enough to test if the siphon would help. When firing full auto, point the gun in a direction so that the CO2 tank is pointed DOWN. Thus allowing the liquid CO2 to feed directly into the valve. The liquid gives a strong pressure boost to the recock jets, and it also elliminates shootdown/chilling. You have to be carefull though. I -think- you removed your bumper? Using a siphon will increase the cycle speed slightly, which is counterproduction to your final goal
