Do not care of the flow coef but the seat diameter is on what your piston "seats"

Very nice style you got there.
Finally we see another break barrel breech.
It's been a while.

You could do some more work on the wood though.It;s nice as it is, but if you round off everything so there are NO more flat surfaces, it will look even better.
Right now it's a bit blocky still.But as I said, it's nice as it is.
Make that VERY nice!

Keep up the good work!
