Dye DFF-20 Lazarus Valve

[Brokeass_baller]

I have a B2K4 that in interested in slapping this into.

Anyone shove one of these in a Bushmaster yet?

Not yet, but I'm going to try to slam it in a b2k4 I have, and eventually in the spare Defiant body I have. I've got enough spare b2k parts to put one together as well.

The HPR appears to have been the issue. Swapped it out and things are fine. Trying to disassemble that problematic reg and parts are jammed, so understandable why issues were happening. I do have a nice pressure gauge for my HPRs.

Gauging an HPR is easy...

I'd guess it's too low, as this valve doesn't respond to chamber pressure like a standard unbalanced valve does.

What are the benefits of this valve?

I talked to Mark Davis about it. He said in cockers the benefit is not huge, but it is in pumps. Much lower pump force due to light Hammer spring and more efficient with lower pressures so you can play the big scenario games with minimal fills.

He said he was following Angry paintball tests of the valve though, and that his opinion might change.

Beyond that, I know little, other than it is working much better than my stock sniper valve to get the results I'm looking for.

Mine is in the mail, and I was wondering what the lowest possible pressure anyone has got out of it, I would ideally like to make a marker without an LPR, if I have to I have a Clippard LPR but, it would be much cleaner to not have it at all.

It would be nice to integrate an LPR into the block, maybe even the 3-way, not like the trilogy, maybe into the grip frame and blazer mount the ram. Then again, if the force to open the valve is low enough, you hold ditch the hammer... Wait a minute, am I design a spool valve gun at this point?

The goal is to get a solenoid that vents at 120ish to work since it could fit in the grip frame I have without much issue. The clippard LPR is rated to 300psi input pressure iirc so worst comes to worst I can throw it on the front of the marker and run a hose into the grip frame but that will be ugly lol.

[Cdn_Cuda]

That does bring up some interesting options in regards to LPR, but an LPR drops to what 60-80 psi? The Lazarus looks to be 160-200 range. But would a smaller LPR be feasible due as it only requires a smaller pressure drop?

I had a good underbore with the 685 barrel. The last round of field paint was on the large side. So much so I couldn’t use my Nova with a 682 insert.

[scuzzy]

Maybe try the 675 barrel back and see how it goes? I get great consistency and velocity with an under-bore.

Side note, I really like the empire barrel kit that comes with these snipers. Honestly, I like everything about the sniper except the macro lines. But since I doubled up the o-rings, it's leak free

[Cdn_Cuda]

I swapped my HPR to a one set to about 180. Seemed to fix my issue. Not sure whether it’s an issue with the one reg or the how it was set.

Now shooting 255-284 with a 685 stock Sniper barrel. It’s no longer venting my entire tank either!

I am not having a lot of luck with my Lazarus valve yet. Shooting in the 220 to 240 range but purging a lot of air when shooting. I think my HPR is too high. Using the lightest ID main spring.

I got nothing for that one.

The CCM is a bit shorter and lighter than the lightest ID spring. I wouldn't think a high hpr would negatively affect this valve. Do you know what pressures you are running?
