Tallen and DeTrev!! (Autococker Q)

Yep! AKALMP, Shocktech, and Madman to name a few.

You can find most of them in review form here

AKA, Madman, and Shocktech all still make their valves.

You don't necessarily need a low-pressure chamber for the marker (a volumizer really) so long as you aren't firing a mini or micro 'cocker due to the fact that there is more than enough valve chamber room in a standard cocker to keep the flow up. You'll also need to change out your springs. AKA makes nice matched spring kits for your hammer and valve springs. Now, the fact that you have a pre-'99 means that there are some things that won't translate between your marker and a post '99 'cocker. The main things are bolts, and front blocks and banjo screws. You can change your back-block to a '99+ back block to use 2K bolts, and the front-block doesn't matter unless you're seriously desiring something like a light-weight block.

Now, that said, AKA also makes a nice heavy-weight hammer for lp-cockers. It's a brass hammer with a SS front which works really well for LP Mech 'cockers. The added weight helps the dwell factor giving you the lowest operating pressure possible. Not so good for high-cycle rates like you get with E-blades, but nice for mechs.

Hope that helps!

Oh, and get a good reg, AKA 2-liter or sidewinder. Good recharge rate and excellent LP characteristics.


EDIT:

You're going to need a valve tool as well.

Wut he said.

I wanna see pics, so hurry up! :P

That looks more like a 2k1ish P-Block. It's a nice 'cocker by the way. As for G-1, I'm not sure. Maybe a model number. Also, I notice a low pressure chamber on the front pneumatics. I don't know what the internals are, but it looks decently set up for LP...

I'm almost certain though that it's post 2k.

It could be an extended screw, as I have seen those before.

Edit: After looking, I think you're right. Probably just an extended screw to make removal easier.

I'd suggest it. You could probably find a tool for $5 over PBN or something. I think you can use an allen wrench (I forget which size), but it's pretty difficult...

Well, it shouldn't increase kick, as it's not a blow back. the hammer doesn't do a thing but strike the valve. The backblock/ram is in charge of resetting everything. If there is an increase in kick, it'll be minimal.

There probably will be some added kick, but it's still gonna be a lot smoother than a blowback.

So for a new bolt, If i should get one. I get one thats Post 2k. Right??? And ive been looking at the AKA for stuff. But i dont have money quite yet but after this weekend i should be good for cash. Also what springs are good??

hmmm, you may be right about the frame, I know you're right about the on/off.

Anywho. As for the bolt question that ekeboo's got, the p-block you have may make it a little tougher to use a '00+ bolt. My suggestion would be to see if anyone else at your field, or any of your friends have a bolt you can try to fit in. It may take pre-99 bolts due to the fact that the p-block brings the pin in closer. I really can't tell just by looking.

As for recoil Yomillo, the LPR is the biggest contributing factor. Most people crank it way-high thinking that the faster the back block snaps back, the better. Really, you want to hold the trigger with the marker de-cocked. Then slowly turn up the LPR until it pushes the block back to the point that the marker cocks when you release the trigger. Then give it a quarter-turn for good measure (and to ensure that you've got enough re-charge for those rapid-fire situations). Easiest thing to tune on a 'cocker.

Wow, this place is getting big on 'cockers lately! I'm so proud!!!!

Oh, and I'm going to go ahead and film myself doing some simple maintenance and timing to help those who care for it.

Yeah, a vid would be great!

No thread jacking, I just finished putting together my 'cocker after checking if the 3 way orings were ok, I'll take some time on sunday to sweetspot the regulators. Any advice on sweetspotting the regulators? I need to set both inline and lpr...
