Ok guys, I finally got you some numbers with the A.C. Custom parts flat top piston and valve installed. I have a 10 shot string I shot over my chrony and a few shots at higher pump levels as well to see the power increase. I am pretty happy with it considering it's using a stock 10.1" barrel and stock transfer port.
First for a little info on what the gun has installed that would possibly affect the power, then the numbers. It has a Crosman steel breech and a Mac1 brass bolt with extended probe and 90 durometer urethane o-ring. It has a blued steel Stace barrel band with a solid dowel pivot pin and c clips. I'm using a stock transfer port and of course an A.C. Custom Parts aluminum flat top piston and power modded flat top valve with his power hammer spring and guide. The barrel is a bone stock 10.1" Crosman 1377c .177cal barrel. Nothing would really affect the power at all over stock except maybe the extended probe(maybe 5-10fps) and definitely the piston/valve. Before adding A.C.'s parts I was getting 510 FPS on 10 pumps using 7.9gr CPLs. After installing his parts I am now getting an average of 627 FPS on 10 pumps using the same 7.9gr pellets. That's an increase of 117 FPS!! Then I pumped it up 15 times and took a shot, 705 FPS!! Then I tried 20 pumps, 760 FPS!!! Then I tried 25 pumps, 790FPS!!!!! All with a 10.1" barrel, stock transfer port using 7.9gr CPLs. To me, that is nothing short of AMAZING. Anyone looking for a power increase should start with the flat top piston/valve set up first and foremost. Absolutely incredible.
I stopped at 25 pumps, because the valve was starting to retain some air and I knew I was reaching the limit of what that set up could do. I am totally impressed with it now. This one's a keeper! Here are some numbers for you.
Here is a 10 shot string using 7.9gr CPLs and pumping 10 times per shot. The consistency is amazing as well with only a 7 FPS extreme spread! That's good enough for Pistol FT use right there!
