Subject: F4 Operating pressure

This should really be in response to Big Mac's post from a couple weeks ago, but it's way down on the list, and I figured people would see it here....
I've taken my F4 down to just below 400psi before it started having re-cock problems....that's without paint and no internal mods except for 3 hours of careful polishing, an HVC, 4X-chamber, and Palmer Stabilizer (probably the strangest way to set it up you've ever seen... I'll try and get a pic soon).

Big Mac, what have you done to your marker to give it trouble re-cocking at only 700psi? maybe mine's an abnormality, but 700 seems a little high, especially if you've been taking steps to reduce the necessary pressure.

Actually, a thought just occured to me as I wrote that.. What's probably happening, is you're making the bolt so high flowing, that there's not enough back-pressure to drive the striker....seeing as how the same stream of gas must go both directions...it's like in electrical circuits, the current flows the greatest where there is least resistance....well, if you reduce the resistance along one part of the circuit to zero, then no current at all will flow along the rest....maybe that's what's happening?
