Your 'broken in' pressure & dwell settings for G6R

minimag03 · 01-29-2013, 10:41 AM

I've searched and cannot find a definitive answer. I've read that certain settings can be changed on a G6R once it's been broken in. Has anyone tried alternate dwell or pressure settings using a stock poppit? For example, I know Bob Long used certain settings in it efficiency video.

I never got the QC card with my used G6R and have only tried stock dwells/pressures. However the gun has seen enough use to be properly broken in. I'm not asking what I should set my gun at, I'm just curious what settings you guys use and anything you've gained from those settings.

You are using a stock poppit? What's your dwell?

I still have the stock poppit and dwell set at 6ms. I'm considering buying a LP poppit but want to see how good I can make the stock poppit feel before buying it.

LP poppit would be nicer.

You could easily set your HP poppit at 70-200 and get 285 I'm sure.

You might be able to get a little lower on the HPR, but I doubt it.

LP poppit after a lot of shots can be between 55-70 psi lpr @ 155-180 hpr

I just scored a LP poppit kit from a website for $9.99 shipped thanks to another member giving me the head-up. I think the website accidentally listed it as $6.99 instead of $36.99, and I got their last one.

I understand the LP poppet lower the operating pressures in general, but are you saying the pressures can go 55-70psi lpr/155-180psi hpr once the poppet itself breaks in?

70 and 185 when you first get it.

Alright, have you ever tried experimenting with the dwell?

My G6R with LP poppit is 80/150 with the Lurker method.

I wouldn't bother with the dwell. 6 is the magical sweetspot, or so it seems.

Like I've posted in numerous threads, if you shoot a lot of paint through your marker, you can get it very low. My lowest was 56lpr 156 hpr with a dwell of 6. 281-283 fps at NPPL chicago @ 90 degrees.

Tim, I noticed that starting with the standard 75/190 method or Lurker, I couldn't get over 280FPS without upping the LPR. I know Lurker states to fine tune with LPR, but at 75 or lower my FPS plateaued.

stock poppit on yours?

I'd replace your ram orings and the orings on your bolt, then try again.

Will do
