Macros,
Turns out that I did not need the heavy hammer & spring.
The low velocity I was experiencing was the result of the bolt not beeing completely in battery.
The Dimond shaped QR bolts on my eagle vision 34mm rings were keeping the bolt a tiny bit open and I was loosing air from the breach.
I noticed a strong smell of "air tank" as I was shooting after my post, and realized what was going on.
I re-removed the AAO hammer etc and low and behold-1030fps On the chronograph.
So you were correct sir, It is indeed unnecessary (at this point on MY particular rifle) for me to use the heavy stuff to open the valve. Im also seeing good dwell time with the factory set up- because I'm seeing more consistent velocity/ tighter ES.
Thank you again for the input.
This is what make this place so worth checking at least a couple times a week (or day

)
