Snowpeak Max 1 -- I'm drooling

[Ratzy]

Watched a few Brazilian videos on the Max1. They were able to get the advertised speed with opening up the ports in the valve and barrel at a lower reg pressure. Valve design is interesting, I hadn't seen with a sealing face for the poppet before.

The black one the transfer port?
And yeah, and unique poppet.

What size are the ports and to what did they open them?

Not sure what they opened them up to but the valve holes were 4mm. He commented on how the transfer port thru the mono block was small as well.

Yours is .22 or .25?
But ports smaller than the pellet/slug and a plenum. That is a weird design.

I'd have thought, given it is designed as a slug gun, the ports would be larger than caliber. Add in a couple 90° turns and that explains the lack of power with the factory settings.

Mine is .22. Ya first batch was an odd duck. Platform def has the ability to get there but they seemed to have nuetured it.

Here's the video. It's translated but they mistake valve for trigger.

Got another batch of the 35g peanut cast slugs from Sonny Slugs. Got them in 4 sizes and will do some testing this weekend hopefully.
