x2 on the carbide burrs for shaping operations like the oval barrel port. I’ve used files enough to wear out quite a few so I’m no stranger to filing, but $10 erases the drudgery of tasks like this.

Tuning Air Venturi Avenger upgrade/mod help

I recommend buying a single cut set with coarser teeth if you have experience cutting metal with a rotary tool. They don't load up and they cut faster. It's good to have 1/8" and 1/4".

Good point about the single cut burrs. For the type of stuff I’m typically doing, I prefer the shallower bite of the double cut. Slower cutting but easier to control, and still pretty fast and effortless compared to a file.

I can vouch for Reidy's work. I bought one of his plenums recently and it works great. With everything I've done (plenum, valve spring, porting), I've seen as high as 68 ft/lb. It's probably capable of more but I don't know how to tune at all, apparently.
EDIT: This is with my AVA .25

Hi I would like to send you my avenger so you can install a 16cc plenum and valve spring as well as open up the barrel port. I’m new to air gun nation as of today and I can’t find any way to private message you for some reason

You can't send PMs until you have at least 10 posts. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the forum rules.

That's no problem. You can do that. Get a few more posts on here then you can send me a PM and we can sort out the details.

Those big single cut ones in the pic here are for aluminum so just be careful which you buy. The ones for steel have much smaller flutes.

They're still relatively small and well suited for steel also. They just don't load up with aluminum as easy. I did say "if you have experience cutting metal with a rotary tool." I have more than 40 years experience and prefer the faster cut and non loading attributes.

Reidy, What all service do you provide? Do you have a website? Had an avenger .22 for a couple years now and ready to do some bottle upgrades and some tuning if you are interested?

Rather than give someone else the money, use it to buy the tools you need to do these simple jobs yourself. There are lots of video tutorials on youtube and people here to help you and teach you better ways of doing things. You can reach past the threads of the port plug with a carbide burr in a rotary tool to open up the port without making the extra work of tapping the hole again.
Really good rotary tool

I'm all for people doing their own work and these definitely look like some nice budget tools.

I'm interested. Don't have a website yet, I know I need one. I sell the stuff I make on Ebay and sell direct. I make bottle adapters, regulator bottle adapters, open up the ports and valve, make plenums and I'm starting to make peek poppets. Pretty much all tuning.

Hi, I just found this thread and am glad I did. I have an Avenger .25 which I moded with the AR stock. I was shooting it a lot until the valve started leaking. I just got a rebuild kit from PA and am ready to take it apart. Do you know if your plenums will fit in the AR stock? The space between the frame halves is .865.
TIA
John

Hi John.
I see you found me on eBay. Yes it’ll fit.
I can reach out to you directly for your email address when it’s ready and send you a PayPal invoice.

If you want to know about the plenums talk to Reidy. He is the one who makes them an can help you out in anyway

Hi, does anyone know if a plenum upgrade has been made that fits the Avenger Bullpup .25? Everything I see is made for the standard rifle version... My understanding is that the bullpup's trigger linkages are in the way. But I'm hoping someone has come up with a workaround.
