KJW M700 Takedown Upgrade Questions

Haha yeah i know no one likes the takedown model, unsurprising due to the inherent inconsistencies caused by taking down a precision rifle and putting it back. But trust me im aware of what im getting into and am prepared to fabricate parts as needed. Personally im of the theory that from a mechanical perspective there should be no need to seal the threads between the two halves as all the gas should be going directly from the magazine into the bolt, into the hop up unit and then out the barrel. In theory there should be no air leaking between the bolt and the nozzle or the nozzle and the hop up, so (again in theory) there should be no need to seal the connection between the halves.

And thanks for the link, I knew i read something about adding a thread adapter in all my research, but couldn't for the life of me remember where.

But yes bobcat im aware of how pressure effects power, my question was specifically regarding how to achieve 2.3J at 90psi (with .32's) due to me only wanting to carry one HPA tank while running my Daytona gun and M700 at the same time. Unfortunately I cant sub regulate the Daytona gun down to 90 psi while running the m700 at a higher psi due to Daytonas being total air hogs. So while normally I would agree with you and just chance the pressure to suite my energy needs, in this case the energy output is going to be highly dependent on the barrel length, bore size and bb weight (due to energy creep in higher weight bbs)
