invert mini air efficiency problems

[andy79]

Hi guys, thanks for help with the air tank, got an issue with my invert mini now, the air efficiency on it has dropped quite alot, tried a few things to combat this, new derlin bolt, new designz v3 bolt, plus spring kit, and dropped the reg pressure down on the marker to 170 psi ish, from 200, used to get really good air efficiency on it, but used it 2 weeks ago and i used a 1000 psi and only shot 400 rounds, any suggestionss guys? alsotried various dwell settings with no luck

don't know much about the bolts you are describing buttheir design may allow more air to pass through so stock bolt might be a better idea to try. other than that you want to lower your dwell and reg pressure (which you have done) and also make sure your gun doesn't have any small leaks because if they have went unnoticed you might be losing air unnecessarily

Preferred after-market bolts for the Mini are the Lurker & Boss, both from America. Mine had the Lurker which was noticeably more efficient; had to reduce the operating pressure to about 150 (with the stock barrel) to keep the velocity down to 280 with the dwell at 4 ms (16 flashes stock board), stock spring.

Or, you can just use the stock stuff, and it will still shoot 10.5bps.

I never got on with any after market bolts and spring kits. It was too much fiddling around and setting settings, to make it work less good than the stock stuff. First post case in point.
