    Rainmaker - help with Valve Shaft Spring

    I'm missing the valve shaft spring (Part #20 on this diagram: https://paintball.tippmannparts.com/diagrams/Brass%20Eagle%20Rainmaker%20Diagram%20080825.pdf)

    Anyone know the dimensions and approximate spring rate of this spring? I've got a box of random springs from Lowes to try out, but the one that seems the closest feels a little stiff

    Its basically a Nelson pump valve spring. Any phantom or autococker spring kit should have one close.

      If using a random spring, a bit stiff could be ok. Might be a tad bit more efficient. Try it and if you can't get up to velocity start cutting off coils.
