Direct to the valve with as short a path as possible is the most efficient... so that would equate to in the grip or a drop out changer (No ASA). the ASA adds path length, and therefore room for expansion prior to the valve. If you could get Mike (CCI) to do a bucket straight off a dropout changer then you'd get the best of both worlds. For a phantom, the vert air in front of the trigger guard with a 12gr is the least efficient of all. E |

The valve on the Redux seems huge to me as well. I cant recall popping open other valves to compare it to but there is a lot of space in the Redux valve.

That's a good point, it does seem big. I've been thinking of getting a good low range scale for a bit, once I buy it I'll weight the valve on it's own, then fill it with water and weight it again. I can do the same for my Phantom and Mini Comp, see what sort of internal volume we're dealing with between all 3.

If someone had time and access to a lather and material, they could certianly make a valve that is a sipper (very small volume) that still shoots at playing speed. I think you would almost want to mimmick a liquid gun, like a montneel..... basically have almost all of the expansion of the liquid occuring in the breach behind the ball rather than in the valve itself.

just do like B says and cut down some delrin pieces to put inside the valve chamber to devolumize it.

Sh*t, I'm a mod? |
I remember Punisher mentioning 22lr shells filled with wax are perfect for valve spacers. Or something along those lines.
