Post subject: | 22xx rabbit holes and PCP vs stock PCP |
The 22xx mod bug has had me in it's grasp lately. I'm very happy with my current 22xx/2260 project gun but now I'm starting to think PCP. I have also seen a video where a guy has had to have the valve from his PCP modified 22xx surgically removed from his thigh. I'm wondering if it would be both cheaper and safer to skip a step or two in the 22xx rabbit warren and go strait to a related factory offering, specifically the Benjamin Maximus kit. Any thoughts on this? |

There are a few good post on he about how to pin the valve for PCP use. Also thicker walled main tubes. |

Yes I've seen some of those and I think I'm starting to get a handle on doing a conversion to HPA but I don't have the costs vs just buying something like the Maximus sorted. If I've got it right I can convert my 2260 tubed 22xx build by using a Disco tube, Disco valve assembly, Disco pressure gauge, and Disco fill cap assembly. Does everything else carry over from the 22xx? Is there a reason that I could not use a CO2 powerlet eliminator with HPA as long as I have the air pressure regulated down to 800psi before it leaves the bottle/tank and goes to the eliminator? |

That in my opinion is the way to go......even without the dummy CO2 as long as your regulated pressure is around the same as CO2 it will be fine. Even a bit higher.......as they always design them to handle more. Some of the more experienced will chime in..... |

Regulated HPA at 850 psi performs very good on the 22xx platform. I had built a few of them over the years. Plumbing is always kinda ugly. I guess it depends on how you go at it. But expect to get 800fps from a 24" barrel pretty easily. |
