I get about 55 shots with a 230 bar fill before my gauge drops under 125bar. Thats from the factory. I haven't adjusted anything.How many shots per fill do you get with your DRS?

Your in!new to site wan to see if this works
Ok thanks for the information. I wanted to get a better velocity for heavier pellets and longer range. I don't want to diesel it because of the possibility of damage and inconsistent performance. Coyotes, racoons, feral pigs and the occasional bobcat.
That was caused from accidental double feeding. I go there usually once a week so I'll ask haha. He has some nice guns in stockOh I'm sure that being less expensive(either to manufacture and/OR lower failure rate/less free replacements) was their reason.
If it "worked just fine..." why did you post a picture of yours with the guts blown out of it??
Anyway, I hope I'm wrong in saying that Huma will not make them anymore because I really like them. If you're close to PBA, ask Joel to get the skinny from Huma.
Pretty simple test...
Put some in a small container, drop an o-ring into the "soup" and let it sit a week.
I did that with some oil (Gibbs Brand) that I found.
In the case of the Gibbs... No o-ring swelling, no "apparent" (fingernail test) weakening of the rubber.
If submerged for a week in "whatever"...and no harm was done to the rubber, it's not likely to do harm, when just cleaning the barrel.

Congratulations!!!Saturday I got married, but still got in some shooting. I shot a 191 11X 40 Yard Masters with FX Crown Mk2 .22.
Sunday I didn’t shoot - recovering from the party.
Thanks, king. I really don't post on AGN anymore but people like you make me consider contributing again. I appreciate you, buddy.I hope that He reaches out to you. I really enjoy your Video reviews.
It's likely regulator creep. As the pressure rises in the plenum the hammer can't open it as far and the first shot or two will be slower. Common problem with regulators. Do you have the Huma regulated Krait? I haven't noticed creep in mine so far. Also if you are having to lower spring tension to get higher PSI shots, your spring was adjusted too far in to begin with. A good tune is to find the highest fps you can get with the spring and then back it off to 3-5% below that number to have good shot count and still be consistent. And if you don't have a digital gauge for the regulator pressure you don't really know if the reg increased or not. My airmaks gauge seemed accurate until I threw a huma 25mm on there.My Krait was doing great, consistent and accurate. Several weeks back I lowered the spring tension which actually added FPS and made the rifle much more quiet. Quiet was what I was looking for as the gun sounded like the hammer was striking harder than it needed, which turned out to be true. Now for the last week the gun shoots quite a bit slower for the first several shots and settles back in where it should be.
The thing I noticed as I keep an eye on it is that the reg is very consistent and returns to the same pressure after each shot, it's also on the correct pressure before that first shot.
This has me thinking,..........hammer spring tension.
Maybe I lowered it too much to overcome any setting in after sitting a few days??
Thoughts before I start messing with it.
There are about 8000-10,000 kids that shoot competitive in HS each year. Most are a part of a JROTC program. Others thru a private club. The CMP is a big part of this and do a lot to support it. USA Shooting Sports supports it to some extent (Jr Olympics, etc). There really is a big underworld of ISSF shooting sports going on under the radar. If my daughter hadn’t been in the right school at the right time I wouldn’t have know it existed. It does exist but gets no publicity unless you belong to the CMP or USA Shooting and get emails of the latest news. CMP has done a terrific job of promoting and growing the sport. It’s mainly focused on HS and college kids. For example my daughter shoots NCAA rifle in college. There are a number of big name colleges that have a NCAA rifle team. Did you know that? Almost nobody knows that unless their kid is on the team. The TCU Women‘s Rifle Team won the NCAA Championship last year. Most shooters had no clue. No publicity. Sad because we have some amazing kids doing some amazing shooting and nobody knows about it.Where are there ISSF related shooting clubs in the US? I was an ROTC university instructor in the late 80s for a short while in MN before I was pulled out to go to Desert Storm. I did ROTC as a prior service cadet in Iowa in the late 70s. I never heard of a rifle or pistol team at either place. Maybe the pool of prospective youth shooters exposed to the sport is pretty small compared to what the Euro and Asian countries have at hand.
