Has anyone tried the Action cylinder bulb and piston set? I want to get the the dyna but the floating valve with o-ring in this set really intrigues me, its seems like it would work well. I don't know if having an o-ring would help much. Anybody have any recommendations on upgraded floating valves?
Installing a steel hammer generally doesn't help with gas output issues.

I personally like the Action power up cylinder bulb, but also haven't noticed any improvements with gas issues by installing that part - if anything, it would make gas output increase.

One thing I've found that helps, is ventilated piston heads like the Nine Ball Dyna piston head... or if you're also interested in high flow floating valves, get the King Arms set, which includes both a ventilated piston head (like the 9Ball one), as well as a high flow floating valve (like the Action one, but built better.)

It's a shim used to adjust the height of the strike face of the valve. It's to allow the user to tune the height according to each individual setup to achieve maximum gas output.

If you raise the height too much, it will stick out beyond the mag and cause reloading issues and even striking issues.
If too low, then you will not get maximum FPS output.
