Well 6 hrs later she's almost done
Added a second plenum to the tk dream valve cut down the hand guard also installed a fx cf barrel stiffener
Having a bottle support made and she should be done
For those guys sanding to clock a plenum extension on a cricket these ss 27mm I'd 32mm.od come in .01mm 02 and up just unscrew the plenum cap throw a shim.on screw back together and it's re clocked just fig I'd pass this on
2 months into this hobby and my first build

Where did you get those shims?
 
well i can say i do like the bottle set up its heavier but well-balanced front to rear
at 2400sh psi it was shooting 950-958 seems to like 15.89gr they group nice
I'm sure if i went to the Crossman 14.3 it would pick up fps but I'm pretty much set where it is,,, those group nice as well.
i tried the valve with just the plenum extension it comes with,,,,,, shot 2 strings
then added another plenum extension C88 Machines. you just need to use a skinnier o ring because the bevel on the Huben plenum isn't as nice or deep as C88 Machines.
what is weird is it didn't pick up fps but picked up 3+ almost 4 Fpe if that makes any sense got me scratching my head on that one
only thing i can think of is the volume of air behind the regulator or possibly the venturi affects going from 1in id to 12mm back to 1 in like a merge collector on like my drag car fig that later.
i also like the fact that it has a shut off for the bottle so if you want to turn the reg down you can shut the bottle off couple shots and the reg is empty.
only thing it seems to have a very slight wabble not much but enough to bother me
those 2 little set screws it seems to rock very slightly when no pressure when pressure is applied it don't move
prob cant with 3500 psi behind it.
i have a question for those with bottles on their notos
do you fill them to 4500psi or keep it at the orig 3500psi 250 bar? wasn't sure that's why i asking
other than that, cut my buck n rail hand guard down to fill the void of 2 plenum extensions seems to complete the gun
now just waiting for a custom-made barrel band found a guy on Ebay just need to give him some dimensions
he sends you a proof and if all looks good print and send. what a world
anyways that's as far as im taking this gun backed it down to 912-915 stacks pellets at 40 yds no problem 38-39 fpe more than enough
just want to say special thanks to sb327 Firewalker and C88 Machine along with a few others who helped me out during this build
as this was my first one as its 2 months today i went down the rabbit hole
one last thing yeah its a 250-300ish gun that has 1000 in accessories
but the way i see it you cannot put a price on enjoyment in my book.....

You will get differing opinions on what to fill the bottle to. Safety wise, the platform is rated at 3600. What if the reg creeps up or fails? I haven’t studied the block/regs available that much but don’t recall seeing a burst disc or other means of protection against reg failure.

I’m not suggesting a fill pressure just bringing up something to be aware of.

Oh, and on the money spent, don’t worry about it. You are having fun and it’s worth it to you in entertainment value. Besides, it’s your money and you can spend it how you want.

Well going back in
Also ordered a pp750 from krale
Got the gauge block to the machine shop and after looking at the port design
Im putting it on the notos
Also going to finish porting the main body and seat as I left those alone so this should be interesting this block measures 6mm 2 mm larger than whats done now.

Just when you think your safe
It pulls you back in.
