Has anyone upgraded the hammer spring to a heavier one on the .22 max if so what were the results?
Hammer bounce, over dwelling valve and such .... Without appropriate pressure to make required velocity, all one is doing is going round-N-round looking for a stand out moment when something changes getting your attention.

I'm asking because I put a stiffer hammer spring in my .22 avenger and it went from 40 ft lbs to 45 ft lbs with 18.13 gr pellets.

I could see that if the reg pressure was initially a tad to high for the OEM spring/hammer combo to maximize poppet lift to gain the flow.
Each PCP will have a different poit in which it's power potential is met.

Port sizes, Pressure & Plenum volume if regulated, Hammer weight, Spring rate & Hammer stroke all become part of the equation if one starts going down the tuning and alteration path ;)
