Whats the +/- velocity range on a rear velocity adjuster?

Lets say I set my front adjuster to 280fps. Whats the highest and lowest I could get by adjusting the rear.

I would assume that if the front is set to 280fps and if the rear adjuster works second than the lowest it would go is 280fps. I don't know about the highest. That's just me using my idea of logic and guessing. I'm not 100% sure.

Ok, but what if the RVA is set to about medium tension when the front is set to 280?

the rva has a grub screw that pushes the drive pin making it have less time to acive maximum velocity so the valve is open shorter you actuall could take out the front adjuster(actually just unscrew it really far dont take it all the way out)so just set the back one not the front the front one just blocks the air from going threw the farther in it is the rva in thearoy should actually also save your gas efficency.

Im sorry that was long and inda went off topic set the rva out more and youll be shoting a pefect 280 if thats what the front is or vice versa screw the front velocity adjuster out and use the back one to set it . I recomend using the second option.

It will vary depending on the RVA. Some have more or less tension than others. The first one I used had to be screwed in almost all the way because it was sort of hollow and allowed the spirng to come back further. The second one I had put more pressure on the spring. The only way for you to answer this would be to put one on your gun and test it. And then it would only apply to your gun and that particular RVA.
