That sounds exciting Mike. I wish I was closer, so I can come and look at it again.

thought be better if started new thread for this,rather than butting in  on others Paul,well things went better than expected didnt really know what to expect from gun,so was surprised how it went as thu revolver uses same valve as the old single shot Clark pistol,the revolver hammer is different is little heavier and has longer stroke,had compensated by using lighter hammer spring but didnt really know if got it right,just dumb luck it worked out as it did i guess as it pretty much equaled the old single shot first time fired tho did have wider velocity spread am putting that down to the single shot being set and tuned to run exactly in its sweet spot,and not knowing where sweet spot is in revolver yet,it dosnt matter any way as the revolver will be regulated,now got to decide wether to leave gun setup as it is,and go ahead and fit reg and run at full 3200psi fill pressure once i have sorted the leak issuse,tend think leak coming from either damaged seals at valve to hpa tube/tube end cap,fill valve not adjusted right or valve poppet not sealing properly,will put gun in water bath before disassembling that should indicate where leak coming from,hope its nothing major that i stuffed up some where,been a rather challenging and at times frustating project this one,kind of jumped in deep end with this one mate.trouble is every part of this pcp revolver is hand made and only takes something very small to put spanner in the works eh!!could be just a very small machine tool mark on something critical i missed too.but anyway was fun firing it for first time as it functioned perfectly mechanically,action smooth as glass,trigger pull very nice,happy with that part,just got to find and sort out the leak before continue and set gun up and tune it,good to know gun is capable of the 30plus fpe as that was the design goal,but think will down tune it to around 24/26 fpe as this plenty for my purposes and will give a higher shot count as well,so interesting times still ahead with this one Paul.
 cheers mike
