I made the valve stem a pretty tight fit in the valve body to prevent pressure loss past the stem, I'll lapp the stem in a bit and soften the seal angle a couple of degrees so it's a bit more flexible. I'm using Larry Durhams toilet plunger seal and micro stem design. One other thing that could be effecting consistency is sludge build up in the valve, I thought being a single stroke that I wouldn't have the condensation problem of an MSP but that isn't the case and I'm thinking that the volume of the firing chamber being so small that sludge build up has a bigger effect. But SSP's are typically very consistent so I'm at a bit of a loss to fully grasp what's going on?

Avg FPS = 749, Stdev = 4.4fps, ES = 15fps, Avg FPE = 9.8754.0,746.4,745.7,745.5,750.6,749.5,749.6,740.7,755.7,749.6 7.9cpl's avg.748.7 9.8fpe. Consistency is getting better, the pellets were just picked out of the box.
Looks perfect to me, just the way it is.

hear though is a good bit of excess air at the muzzle, current barrel length is 19" I think with a 24" barrel it would break 10fpe. which you predicted a few years back when I first told you about this design. Also a few days ago it was making it's best power with a slightly larger transfer port than I'm using now.

those are excellent numbers. What pellet did you say?Avg FPS = 749, Stdev = 4.4fps, ES = 15fps, Avg FPE = 9.8

the 0.6 FPE increase with the 10.5's is probably due to less energy loss from a slower moving pellet - drag from the atmosphere and bore increase with velocity squared.n/t
BTW, I've been following your project - extremely impressive!!

I noticed my 2004 hotrod pistols gave the best numbers with a freshly cleaned port. The oil/water emulsion built up there within a dozen shots, and numbers drifted down a few fps.I made the valve stem a pretty tight fit in the valve body to prevent pressure loss past the stem, I'll lapp the stem in a bit and soften the seal angle a couple of degrees so it's a bit more flexible.
