I have a .177 Marauder with a regulator, light weight hammer. I changed the valve spring to a lighter spring. The hammer spring is oem. The shot count is in low 50s and the es is a bit high. The gun doesn't sound right, if that makes sense. I had a .177 Marauder, tuned by motorhead, so l know what a well tuned Marauder should be. I am using an Altarous regulator and suspect an issue but want to check everything else first. Anyone know what length and wire size valve spring would be best for this tune? It is good to know, if l can't get it tuned, a quick trip west to Scott will solve my issue. Thanks,Don
Benjamin Valve spring for Marauder with light weight hammer?

You could try adding a spacer to the current valve spring which can sit in the valve cap / seat. 1/2" spacer would provide quite a change. If your hammer spring setting is at its minimum, you could reduce the hammer travel/throw settings a bit.
Ultimately, it comes down to finding the right balance with tuning your hammer spring tension / throw. You could probably skin this cat about 5 ways.

I also have a marauder in 177, Huma reg, light AR hammer setup and tried a Tim Hill light valve spring and it allowed my gun to become amazing.
the hill airgun 7 valve spring is what you need.
Thank me later!

Exactly. Iirc all my marauder/armada valves with conventional spring set ups I use a Hill #6 VS. I'm not sure if that's the new #7. It really reduces the opening effort. But like Matt said there's several ways you could approach the issue.
