Yeah I have clipped it in the past lolBe careful not to shoot the top of your chronograph.
Sorry for the lack of knowledge on the subject, but what is a peek poppet and what does it do?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.
Very interesting, thanks for the info. I’ll have to do some more research into PEEK, haven’t ever heard of it till now.PEEK is a hard plastic that is easier to knock open than most other common poppet materials like Delrin or nylon, which is beneficial when:
1. Seeking to increase energy. For example, enlarging the valve throat makes a valve harder to knock open. Switching to a PEEK poppet may offset the difference without having to use more hammer spring tension or a heavier hammer.
2. Seeking to maintain the same energy level but improve the gun's shot cycle. For example, a PEEK poppet may allow you to use a substantially lighter hammer and/or less hammer spring tension. The result being a snappier shot cycle with higher efficiency...more shots, less noise, and a more pleasant firing cycle with less vibration.
3. Or some blend of both #1 and #2
However it requires a very high quality surface finish or it is likely to leak.
I thought about it... However FX uses a liner/barrel system and those liners in the same caliber as the avenger have much smaller outside diameter than the avenger barrels. You would have to to slip a piece of steel tube over the liner, epoxy it in place, and then have it machined down to fit tightly. But that would come with lots of problems. I just ordered a TJ barrel blank and had it machined to fit my avenger. Much better alternative in my opinion than an FX liner.I saw some people were trying different barrels like the Troy Hammer barrels, but has anyone (that you guys know of) ever tried to adapt an FX barrel to the avenger?
Avenger barrels are 11mmOD so not enough room in the Avenger receiver. I've owned both but I don't like the fx liner system. Some shoot great and some do not.I saw some people were trying different barrels like the Troy Hammer barrels, but has anyone (that you guys know of) ever tried to adapt an FX barrel to the avenger?
Fair enough, what does a TJ blank cost normally? I’d imagine it changes with length and caliber choice.I thought about it...

What would be possible on a .177 avenger?80fpe is for the .25 you can get in the 50's with the .22. Not hears of anyone breaking the 60's yet but it wouldn't surprise me if someone has .
I believe the most powerful one I've heard of is AE Sweede tuned one for his buddy into the low 40's.What would be possible on a .177 avenger?
The avenger ones, at least the newer style ones, I'm finding quite easy to make. I pressure test each one before sending them out and have not had one leak yet. I have even stopped the fill with less than 1000psi to check it at lower pressures. They're not a flat on flat seal like the older style poppet.PEEK is a hard plastic that is easier to knock open than most other common poppet materials like Delrin or nylon, which is beneficial when:

I haven't opened one of mine yet. What style poppet does it have?The avenger ones, at least the newer style ones, I'm finding quite easy to make.

This is a picture of the poppet.I haven't opened one of mine yet. What style poppet does it have?
The older style one is just a cylinder shape that sits over a flat or slightly raised hole. The new style poppet sits in a beveled hole and seals by using the edge of the poppet pushing into the beveled hole.I haven't opened one of mine yet. What style poppet does it have?
Yes. It's a centralizer device to keep it directly lined up with the port, plus the spring pushes on them.Does it really need the four ears to center?
