LP Spring kits for Rainmaker?

Has anybody made a spring kit for the Rainmaker or tried to respring the valve for increased gas flow/ lower shooting pressures.

Hardwarz on th Rainmaker forum at BEOG (http://www.beog.org) sells tapered valve springs.

You can cut 2 coils off a cocker hammer spring and that will work great. but dont use a cocker valve spring as they are way too long and cutting a coil would place it off center

Thanks again Kevin. I had another question for you since you are an expert on Rainmakers. I had placed an order with the BEOG super store, is this you, and on a whim at the last moment I bought a Micro Rock. Will the RM internels run at a lower psi than the stock pressure. I've completed the striker guide pin modification and it turned out quite well. As a matter of fact the carrier/striker assembly an move freely in the body without any resistance. If I turn the body vetical the assembly can move just under it's own weight. I'm looking to reduce recoil, increase gas efficiency and better paint handling for thin shelled paint.

Glad to hear you're rainmaker is coming along.

I have a microlathe so it gets simple after that. Actually microlathes arent that much anymore and it's one of the best toys I've ever bought.
