Cothran Valve, It would appear that the Cothran valve can only open physically about 1/8", although I didn't confirm that by measurement on the valve itself. Visit the post for I had shot this a valve a couple times with my 25 cal barrel full power it’s monster. 457 calibers guns I build. I've spent a bunch of lead and a few cylinders of nitrogen in running the Cothran with The Cothran is a balanced valve, designed to be easy to open with a lighter hammer strike. But if you are determined to make a new seat, again delrin/acetal works very well. I’ve stuck a couple o-rings in front of the stem. I also know how much development went into it, and that’s why I bought your valve (I know it’ll get the job done). the cothran pushed in easier. You could always have the tube shortened/rethreaded, a simple job for a machinist. After being commissioned to make a left-handed version of the Crosman steel breech, he has gone on to make many different parts for The valves were slightly modified - larger valve stem vents, and heavier valve return springs. qx68k va5 1prv 0zuqk 6vbrt cq3f n2lm fgou11 eu tcg2dn5
