Nice gun indeed but I have one question. Is that a sprinkler valve because it looks like it from this angle. Simple and great.

i believe it is rated to 150 if it is deltrol, and if it is i wouldnt push it past that. i think 150 is the safe # for these kinds of valves. try largening ur chamber for better performance

i've taken my QEV cannon past 200 using a compressor at a friend's dad's shop. No problem at all, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Very nice gun, and i like the stock.
