MAY 2021 UPDATE: The piston now features two o-rings for better compression. Looks a lot more professional, too.

APRIL 2023 UPDATE x2: Adjustable Pistons now available.

• The Flat Top upgrades are immensely popular with Crosman pumper enthusiasts. The idea is that by giving the gun a larger air reservoir, you can do more work per pump, resulting in the same shot velocity with FEWER pumps. Or, increase velocity with the same number of pumps over OEM.
• You can buy just the Flat Top Valve, just the Piston or the Complete Kit.
• Note that you should not install just a Flat Piston with an OEM valve. The gun won't cock completely and will be useless.
• You can, however, install just the Valve.
• But the smart move is to install the complete kit.
• Want even more mods? Consider the Flat Man's Pack, which is the Flat Top Kit + Power Spring + Max Flow Bushing.

• The Flat Top Valve is an OEM Crosman valve that has been heavily modified.
• First, we put it on the mill and angle the exhaust so the escaping air doesn't have to make a hard 90° exit.
• After that, we straighten up the exhaust hole with a nice six-fluted bit.
• Then, we flatten the face to allow more air to be pressurized per pump.
• Finally, we remove as many machining marks as we can to make a perfectly smooth exterior.
• And, of course, the valve is cleaned and polished prior to reassembly with BRAND NEW o-rings.

• This is the Flat Top Piston. It is 7075 aluminum milled from scratch. A solid brass version is available, too.

This is the older single o-ring style. All shipments will feature double o-ring pistons as shown below.

While you can buy the valve-only and piston-only individually, they're not designed
to be used with competitor's products, nor will they work with non-flat parts.

The Flat Valve won't work with an OEM Piston and vise versa.

But, they are available, if you have a specific project you want to accomplish.
