Ugh. I read Rob's Brisbane article and it made me cringe {shudder}.

I modded my Centurion. I removed the air restrictor based on dubious intel. There was little if any difference in the performance. But the procedure itself was horrible. Getting it back together and functioning properly was very difficult. I almost gave up and ordered another one. Plus, it's never really been the same ever since. Every once in a while a dart just plops out of the barrel. An impotent shot, I call it. Happens more and more frequently now.

Apparently due to the conical nature of the plunger tube, there is little if anything that can be done to substantially improve the performance. Even a main spring replacement is marginal. My advice is use it stock. Admittedly I am a total novice and don't know what the he11 I'm talking about. But experience has been a good teacher.

The Centurion is a beast though. My office mates tell me it's quite intimidating. The first time they heard a Mega dart whistling by, it turned a few heads. I love the thing, warts and all ; )
