well..... i did it... i ordered a nice "CHRONY" chronograph today.... its the kind i used to have when i reloaded real ammo..... i liked it alot, and never had any issues at all with it.... it folds up and fits in a carrying case... has "diffusers" for outside if its sunny... [dont use them if its cloudy]... i got lighted "diffusers" for indoor use... and a protective lexan shield... and a rifle rest to sit the gun on while shooting...and it will read anything... [bullets, arrows, paintballs, airsoft BB's]... reads from 30fps all the way to 7000fps... i can even add a printer later if i want too.... should get it in about a week or so... i did this cause i had a gun that i took to PB Sports, and they said it shot at 280fps...[kyles old M16]... i just put a JG gear box with alot of "good stuff" inside, including a 130 spring [as advertised]... well, i took it to PB's today... and the [new] guy , said it shot like 230fps now!!!! WOW! somethings wrong.... i cant figure it out yet, but me controlling all the test parameters is a good start i think... so im getting my own chrono to do testing with... i have had false readings before at PB Sports when the battery was low... a new battery made a BIG difference.... but i dont feel like drivin all the way to PB's just to see if something works or not...

I got a Chrony chrono for Christmas. The Blue Beta Master model.
Did you check your compression? (Switch the piston head O-ring for a #14. Gives a better air seal.)

Went to PB sports to check my Bolt when I was working on it and they said it was shooting around 280, no way! We checked it out up at the field with a chrono that Koyote brought, and it was shooting about 380 with 30s....PB Sports....not always right with the chrono.

i think its a battery issue for them... its probably on all day there... and it doesnt read right on a low battery.... thats why i got one.... KID- i got the airsoft/paintball one that comes with the shield and gun rest... they are the same, you can upgrade to the printer and download to a computer if you want all that... i got the lights for indoor use and a carry case too.... they are GREAT chronos, i used to have one before for reloading ammo... it was "red" back then... you can get refurbished ones if they have them in stock... cost like 50.00... their "green"

i bought it strait from the manufacture.... google "chronographs"... then look for "CHRONY"... its the only "folding" chronograph... i guess others are trying to sell less quality ones under the same name.... the real "chrony" is the ONLY folding one!!! red, blue, and green colored.... old is red, new is blue, and "refurbished" is green... and yes, the refurbished have the same warranty too.... just about half priced... [they didnt have one when i called them, so i bought a new one]

yea, i get my reloading stuff from them... but their more expensive and they only list the chrono's with the printer... [which arent what i need, and are a lot more money] they dont list the lights i got, the chrono is the same but cheaper [without printer], carry case is cheaper... and the protective cover and gun "rack" they dont have... they only carry "TOP END" shooting stuff for long range shooting.... theyre not airsoft people at all......

hey curt do you think you'd be able to bring that with you to the field every now and then? just curious because I took my upgraded L96 to PB today and they said it was only shooting 390. I know better than that. I'd like to get an accurate reading on it.
