this is my new gun...all i did was take my last gun apart and just used spare parts i already had....for some reason i can only get it to like 105 psi, i figured it would get way higher than that because of all the chamber i have. any suggestions?

what happens when you increase the pressure past 105psi?
if it produces leaks, i suggest that you cover all joints and fittings with epoxy or JB Weld.
i had the same problem with my copper pneumatic and JB Weld fixed 'er right up! now instead of 60psi, i can go 120+
hope i helped

i would upgrade to a qev or some kind of piston valve since you have such a large steel chamber.

yeah I guess you could make a coax with a bit of tinkering, and then you can really out on the pressure.

Right now the limiting factor on it's pressure is the sprinkler valve. I second Maniac's idea of a QEV or piston since they can be used at higher pressure than a sprinkler
Agreed. You are holding the potential of this launcher back with the sprinkler. Replace it with a QEV (which will probably easier than building a piston for this setup) and see what it can really do.

Another place where you can get a QEV is here:

They are pretty reasonable as long as you don't get the 1" valve.
