Air Arms More power for my Air Arms MkIII?

[Regulator]

I have the vortex spring kit in my Mark 3 and I'm getting about 660-ish feet per second with 16gr pellets... is there anybody else that offers a kit that can get me up around 800 + ft per second? Anybody out there with any tips or tricks or I can up the foot pounds in this baby?

800fps with 16gr pellets is over 22fpe! A TX will not make that, if you want 22fpe from an AA find a Pro Elite. No kit will produce near that power from a TX.

Why would you want to?

More power for bigger varmints out of a accurate rifle.

How accurate are you? A 15fpe headshot will drop anything that you will be shooting with a springer

A Pro Elite will barely do 18 , but when doing it,it’s a harsh gun

get a HW 80 and be happy at 15 to 17 ft lbs. very few 20 ft lb guns shoot great … I did not say accurate but they all are trepidly harsh from 16 on up.. I’ve got a few I’ve made well into the 30ft plus lb range and rarely shoot them.

If you want a more powerful springer than you might want a diana 350

Sounds like a job for a .25 Marauder. Plenty of energy and accurate. Easier to hand pump to 3k psi than 50 foot pounds of cocking effort.

Install a front spring from a Honda Civic. That might work.

I've owned at least three .22 PE's and one .177 and ALL of them make barely less or a fair bit above 20+fpe. (.177 @1025 w/8.4gr= 19.6+fpe)

All right guys thanks for the feedback I was just curious.

I too own and have had a few .. I don’t say they can’t but most are 18 ft lbs and under. The 400 gram piston is huge and you feel every bit of it. You cant beat physics

Wasn't a question or comment of feel or physics it's about power produced. I'm 4 for 4 at 20fpe...
