Yeah, I worked a bit on the lower pressure bit. I think I went overboard with increasing the flow on the front of the marker and ended up with recock problems. I haven't had time to work with it much, but plan on using a delrin venturi bolt as well as messing with spring combos. I took my stock valve and mod'd it rather than trying to make a new one. ACI is supposed to be working on a new high flow valve for use in their new e-framed marker, and Ken of K&P is rumored to be having a go at one.
Personally I think the biggest restriction to going low flow on the F4 is the ASA...very small holes and not much to work with. I am also looking into reconfiguring the air input of my F4 (can't divulge my secrets yet).
I like the low pressure operation (of my other markers).. less stress, a bit quieter, less kick. I seriously doubt that I'll ever get that with the F4 with it's small striker, but I'm willing to push it a bit.
