This is a power mod that is done properly and a safe way so you can turn power up and down with screw that Makes the hammer spring block press up,but you can only turn the screw so far or hammer will not engage.
This is absolutley one of the most informative and straight-forward videos that I have seen on youtube. Thank you for making and posting it. I strongly agree with the many other viewers encouraging/requesting that you please continue to make and post future videos. A hearty "Well Done" from across-the-pond.
Awesome vid mate, I've just bought the umarex legends s25 version of this revolver.... at some point in the future I might up the power so this vid is excellent
I have a 2.5 inch dan wesson, have been researching on exacly what what works on increasing the power, and it seems like the only mod that actually could work is replacing that washer, nothing else besides barrel increase seems to be real. Have you done this and did it actually worked? Does any one know if a thinner washer is better or actually a fatter washer would be better?
Many thanks for the video dood. Very informative, Is it the same setup in the ASG Dan Wesson 715 6" Revolver? I would like to be able to tweak the power down slightly without running low power shells as these reduce the fps too much. My only other option is to drill out the centres of the low power shells to find a happy medium between the low and standard power. Thoughts?
david, hello. enjoyed your tune up video re dan wesson. i have a ruger super hawk 6mm co2 [8"] can i use this mod on my ruger, how far can you tighten the screw, is it a case of trial and error? what about the best type of bb's best to use? any more videos on this tune up subject coming up? thanks
Great idea. I suggest to polish te "front surface" of the screw an apply some grease on it, so the aluminium "cup" wount wear too fast. By the way.. I just bought one and thinking of regrease it from factory greases. There is a problem because i dont know which oils/greases put on different surfaces. If You have some free time, please make the video about it. It will be sweet;-)
looking at the insides of this pistol we could all see the gas valve (it had a red strip across it), and it's the lowest power valve as only the low power valve has the red stripe, if you change this valve for the 8-inch barreled pistol valve, that has no red strip across it, that would bump up the power far more than pushing the hammer spring to its limit and in doing so you make the trigger pull much harder, however changing the gas valve come's at a price, but it's money well spent
Its a m4 nut and screw..but!! It does nothing to my pellet version ive screwed the screw in as far as it goes in and over my chronograph theres is absolutely no power increase 👍
Excellent video, whens the next installment??.. May I please request your next video is also a revolver.... :P I am getting the 2.5mm next week... any further info on these guns is greatly appreciated
Did you Chrono the Dan Wesson? I suspect that even with this modification it would only put the gun at around 3ft lb - Im in Durham with a Chrono if you would be interested in adding numbers to this video. Regards
OK...I just received my 2.5in Dan Wesson Pellet gun. With the barrel pointed down, I noticed there is an air gap between the cartridge and the little black seal on the rear of the frame...about the width of a pocket knife blade. If I push the cylinder back towards the hammer, the gap goes away. Do I have a defective airgun?
two questions, this can not cause long-term damage to the weapon? and lose more gas than normal? that is, a bottle lasts 60 shots for example, will this modification decrease that amount? a greeting.
Hey there Mr Robinson can you please help me. I'm trying to increase the FPS on my Dan Wesson 8 inch revolver BB and I can't modify it due to its really, really tight screw. The last two that the handle covers are the ones that I'm having trouble with, which is kind of strange due to its size; I can bench press nearly 300 pounds ( so you can understand my frustrations), can you please tell me how I can unscrew them without damaging the gun or the screw?
Should be effective and it is definitely interesting. However there are some cons to this method since all tuning is actualy a compromise isn't it. increased trigger pull weight which also increases the rate of wear upon the trigger bearing surfaces and finally increased co2 release /less shots per bulb. Still I might give it a go.
I know this is an old post but I've found this very useful. I use mostly 6mm airsoft replicas and I'll try using this method to actually lower the fps in my Co2 revolvers. Do you know if other wingun revolvers have similar internals?
The nut and bolt are not going to give you more power to the air valve only to the trigger spring. By changing the rubber bb insert to the bottom of the cartridge you will have more power.
Hi,I'm not sure why it is lose but know that some are and I would take it back to the shop,but if that's not possible like mine as I striped them so mine was lose so I used plumbers tape on the back of the barrel but its tricky to do and used a very small amount of glue to keep it tight then put some in the pin holes then put pins in its been fine and had no problems,as there's not much you can do to make it fit better or be solid,that's the only bad thing about this gun.
hi thanks for this info . i have done the small nut on my dan wesson works great . is there anything i should do to the shells . thanks i know im 7 years late lol
This is the only Co2 I know of that you can do this with thanks for asking,and sorry for not getting back to you all,but I'm so busy at the moment and with my five kids I just don't get much time on here,thanks.
Great video and explanations! is there a possibility to put a gas canister that will be filled with air to turn it in to a pcp air gun? i'm thinking to replace the co2 cartridge and give it some more power. i have the ruger superhawk airsoft and i have replaced the inner barrel with a 60cm one(not for airsoft animore as it has too much speed) i use it for backyard target shooting
thanks bud, you sounds geordie? im from consett, and i see you have lots of extra cartridges, where would you advise me getting them? havnt actually bought the gun yet but ill need some extra cartridges.
I don't live that far from you mate I'min Durham,I bought my extra cartridges from ebay but not sure if they sell them now but if you just look on the Internet you will find loads that sell them,thanks for asking.
Hi David, great video by the way! ive just bought myself the six inch chrome version and ive got a problem with the barrel being a tad loose and i wondered if you had any ideas to tighten it up? im guessing its help in place by the two rolled rivets at the top of the frame above the cylinder? any ideas on how to expand them to tighten the barrel up?
Hi, i realize this is an old comment but if it can help someone down the line, if not you, then its worth it. 'The barrel'you are referring to is most likely the outer shell in which the actual barrel is held, spring loaded with some allowed linear movement in order to create the situation in which the shells/cylinder line up as the revolving mechanism is engaged prior to a shot. This barrel/shell is held in place by 2 pins yes. And again, yes one of them is located above the cylinder but the second one is actually in the shell ejector rod recess. Ive had similar issues with the barrel being somewhat loose as well. In order to fix the problem, i have concentrated on the upper retaining pin above the cylinder as it is by far the less fragile location of the two as far as being able to take moderate pouding or a new pin and/or where material is plentiful to allow for some work/reshaping/drilling to be done. What i did was change the pin to one of a slightly larger diameter, enlarging the hole on the barrel shell in order to have it slightly undersized. This allows for press-fitting the pin in and a couple thousandths should be sufficient - more could posibly make the pin not go in at all without some visible damage. Once this is done, carefully enlarge the holes on the frame to match and drive in your (newly created and blued) retaining pin
Does anybody know where to get parts for these things at all. Mine dumps the co2 out nearly instantly. I cant find a replacement valve, or gasket kit anywhere. Theres no numbers stamped on the valve, no nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello loved the video. I have my Dan Wesson 6"pellet on its way. I plan on modding the crap out of this gun and was wondering if you could send me the other mods for this gun. I have my PAL which is required here in Canada. I love fire arms and am no a gun smith by any means but I like little project and think this would be a really enjoyable one. So if you could get back to me so we could PM eachother that would be awesome. Thanks Nick
