Identification question

Did this velocity adjuster come as a kit with a back block or was the whole marker originally sold like this?

That as far as I know was only available as a kit and never sold on any production custom

[Grendel]

Yup, fully agree I only saw those as kits. I know one of my old teammates love it.

How does it work?
got a hollow hex attached to the threads that slide in and out with the back block or is it fixed to the body?

I'd love to see pictures of it odd the gun 😁

Never found out who produced these. Here is a video showing this backblock style:

[gideons_wrath]

Yes! Exactly like the video. I like it's operation, but the length of the dialer inside of the body kind of forces me to use a shorter but stiffer spring to get the velocity up. Not really much of a problem, but it makes for a stiffer pump stroke.

[Grendel]

Yup, Clay (my teammate) had to clip springs. I remember some tournaments did not allow them because they "made it easy" to adjust on the field.

Thanks, that's clever

So it stays attached to the body and the back block move normally (with a notch to accommodate the knob)?

[gideons_wrath]

It works just like you think it does!

[XEMON]

Thanks ks you so much for the pictures 👍

I'm so gonna make some 😋

That’s neat! Is it hard to turn by hand?

[gideons_wrath]

only when it is cocked, then you have the pressure of the compressed spring to compete with. Even then, it isn't terrible.
