If you're wondering why your FPS is so low...

Nineball claims that their mag lipseal increses fps, I highly doubt its a substantial and constant increase. Using a Nineball Hop Up rubber will definitely increase your fps with the tighter seal and design of the rubber.

While the Ra-tech bulb looks nice, I'm sure there are plenty of other options available that will do the same. Upgrade the rocket valve to a metal one with an o-ring seal, in addition to upgrading to a stronger valve spring, that will add some fps.

BBU seems fine, just make sure it seals nicely with the SD nozzle.

IIRC the KM hi flow valves are adjustable. adjust them to the proper height for maximum gas output.

I think the main culprit is the TK twist barrel. It's designed to allow a cushion of air to flow around the BB as it's exiting the barrel. Which means a lot of the gas that's coming out isn't being fully used to propel the BB. Switch to a PDI 6.01mm barrel and you'll see your fps increase dramatically.


You could also do what a lot of us do, is to buy it and try it out for ourselves, to see what it brings and what the limits are. take the risk and report your findings to the rest of us. We all started with questions, but we all try to give back answers as well.
