Hey all. New to the forum. New to pcps. After a few weeks of playing with my new .25 armada, I decided to go all in and drop a huma reg, and the hill max power kit into it. After stuffing it all together, the results were somewhat disappointing.
Now I'm not 1000% certain a didn't mix up the hammer springs while swapping. But it seems like the hill spring (provided its the thicker/heavier spring) can't be tuned at all. 0 turns to 6 turns, I get nearly identical fps, and an abysmal shot count. With the factory spring I can only get to a consistent 40 foot pound range of 35-40 shots at 1&1/4 turns clockwise with jsb hades 25.54gr pellets.
I followed the instructions dead on, but shot placement seems somewhat inconsistent (I need to test more when the storm passes) and the bolt, dear God the bolt! Wrenching that sumbitch back is a herculean effort. My middle finger is throbbing at the point where the bolt contacts my hand after testing my shot count on 3 different pellets. The king mk2s are still the most consistent (but not as consistent as my stock setup +reg was) in terms of accuracy. The hades are okay. The Hn hornets are awful, but they almost hit 1000 fps.
Does anybody know what I might have missed? The reg is currently set to about 2100psi. Is there anything I can do about that spring? (I'll attach a photo of both so maybe some eagle eye can tell me which is which to be sure.)
