Decided to not take out the balanced valve. I have already seen pictures of it and removing it does nothing for me. It's in the HPA zone and this gun is lubed well and the machine work on this receiver is very nice, I haven't had to touch any of it. So, I took out the sidelever and probe, along with the SSG and hammer, removed the trigger block so that I could get out all of the oil in this area. I run my guns totally dry outside of the HPA zones. Oils and lubes only attract dirt and get sticky or change with the weather and increase your spreads. Everything gets covered in powdered graphite, that's it.
The SSG is really clever, and a clean design. The hammer is derlin with a steel face insert, much like what I have in my Gen2 mrod with its aluminum tube. I am going to put some teflon tape on the hs adjustment because it turns really easily. The trigger pack is mostly metal except one side of the pack has an access plate made of thick plastic. All the trigger parts are substantial. There's no tiny sears or anything. I might drill and tap in some extra set screws for extra adjustment , there's plenty of room and the parts are big enough to work on. I probably won't show that, or any trigger work, for obvious reasons, but if you're already into doing that kind of thing, this one looks like a good candidate. I have already adjusted the trigger to be very good but I think I could change the characteristics to be more to my liking. The pellet probe is finished beatifully. I thought that I would need to radius the inside, but nope, already done, nice job.
Still waiting on some parts to get back to finishing the stock so I might work on the trigger tomorrow. and now the pictures.
Less glare.
