: I just got an sto, got a benchmark frame for it, and a checkit on off, but thats it, what should i do to upgrade it? : ~Zach I am surprised at Dale for being so short on his upgrade answer, they are usually longer and more entertaining :) The STO as stock is a nice marker, it is the Special Tournament Operations for a reason, but the stock cockers that are coming out now as just as nice. I agree on the RollerSear, it is very nice, I would use the stock valve, as I have currently switched back to and pick up a spring kit, If you have the stock Low Pressure reg either pick up a twister kit or a new Reg, I would consider an externally adjustable low pressure reg a must have...the stock 3 way is smooth, there are shorter ones out there. I had problems with the stock bolt on the STO, the AKA lighting is nice or the Evolution bolt, and the shocktech derlins. If you are going to be playing tourny's depending on the position you play you might want a drop forward, and also a good barrel selection, or a multi insert barrel, you can buy a Freak kit or others like it or buy 3-4 barrels of the same type with different I.D's to get a good paint to barrel match. The possibilities are endless...for example I'll give you an idea of my STO... 2001 STO Fade WGP hinge, (e-blade soon) Shocktech Bomb 3-way MicroRoc Lowpressure reg BobLong Torpedo Reg STO ram (stock) AKA lighting bolt Maddman Springs with Stock Valve(operates at 275psi) I found it is the best operating pressure for me and other cosmetic upgrades, Kapp beavertail, cocking rod, straight pump arm, new timing rod, nice drop, MacroLine kit.... anyways, way too much money invested in it, but I love it, and it has won alot of tourny's with me...have fun with your Cocker.
