I took the M11 off the rack today and shot a few pellets with it, and noticed that there seems to be a very brief discharge of air that can be heard immediately after the pellet is gone. Is this a case of too weak a valve spring? It sounds almost as though the poppet is not closing the exhaust fast enough.

Re: Artemis M11
How is regulator setting and do you check with chrony?
A Bunch of
495fps Springers/CO2/PCP
PAL Rated plinkers and target rifles
Finally get my PAL after 1 year waiting

Re: Artemis M11
I have the aftermarket regulator in it, set in the middle of the range. I realize now it may be the hammer spring adjustment, which I screwed in a few months ago, and forgot. I will turn it out and see if it makes a difference. And yes, I should fire a few across the chrony to see what is happening too.
Re: Artemis M11
Too much hammer spring for the regulator pressure you're running.

Much better after turning down the hammer spring adjustment. Thanks all.
