Craddle velocity reducer
Cradle Piston
RA_Tech 6.01 380mm tightborre

I saw the video on youtube for installing the Cradle velocity reducer, everything went smoothly but after passing the M4 on the chrony I'm really disapointed...the fps are totally inconsistent !


with 1 small spacer + the o-ring, on the .25 (chrony set for 0.25g BBs ) it ranges from 325 to 420 with sometimes a few shots around 390fps but still really really inconsistent....same thing with 0.20g

I checked the velocity reducer many times, changed the spacers, checked that nothing was loose, well lubricated (not too much), cleaned the hop-up but still the same thing...after firing around 20~30 mags I'm really disapointed....any suggestion of what I did wrong ?
I would go to .28's or .30's ,I get better consistency on the chrono
and really good range.
I also did the "top down" hop up mod on two of mine. WOW I like

Are you using propane? No oil ? that's what mine like.
