Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - question::KJW M4 GBBR and Cradle Velocity Reducer

The answer I got from Cradle:

''Two points we should cover here to get everything working as you hope:

1. Some people have reported lower than expected velocities with the v2 bolt. We have tracked this down to the use of the included o-ring. Apparently for some guns it ends up being too thick and blocks too much gas. To remedy this you can take the small o-ring off the stock floating valve and use it in front of the plastic rings rather than the included one.

2. Adding rings decreases velocity. It seems backwards on paper but thats the way it works because as you add spacers you cover the ports on the side of the reducer. Less open space on the ports means less can passes through the reducer and into the barrel. I must have misspoken on the video.

I hope this clears things up a bit. Let me know if I can help you out further.

Thanks,''
