I don’t want to poop in this thread, but feel obligated to share that dad had two dead hawkes this month. An older 6-24 broken wind age adjustment. Hawke replaced quickly but sent a 3-18, probably by mistake. Today, a brand new 6-24 womt focus. Backing off the magnification helps a little...

Daystate Air Wolf .22 air rifle. Purchased new from Airguns of Arizona about 17 years ago. I could have done a better job mounting the rear sling stud, but it’s fine. Only a couple light pressure marks on the stock. Added coats of sealer to the stock and think it looks nice. I shot this a lot...

Huma Regulator for Benjamin Marauder .22 Pistol Installed once. worked fine. Decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. $80 shipped CONUS

I see the spacer now. Thanks. Can’t seem to get it out without removing the valve. Dad decided it’s not worth the trouble. Listing reg in classified section.

Good numbers! Guess we all have reasons for using pcp’s, or not. My two rifles are a Daystate airwolf, which still shoots great, and an fx panthera compact, which is amazing. Consistently sub moa at 100 yards. Dead simple to tune. Won’t shoot slugs, which makes prs style competition...

Good point. Thanks. It doesn’t look difficult. However, given my luck, it wouldn’t go well. Dad’s RAW micro and Air Venturi compressor both had problems recently. I spent days trying to fix both and ended up sending both in for service. It was fun and I learned a lot, but…

Yes, I know. Thanks.

I tried to talk him out of it. Shot fine unregulated. He wanted a fun project, only at 88 he doesnt have the vision, strength or fine motor control to do the work, so I’m stuck with this steaming mess. Increasing the power was an idea he had after the reg was installed. Removing the valve...

Thanks! Wonder if it’s worth removing the valve housing and trying to polish the face.

Thanks. This is what I have, so o ring inside both ends of the plenum which seems to seal against the air gauge housing ok, but not against the valve housing when gauge is removed. Was getting 630 fps before the regulator and am back close to that, 622fps.

Working on installing a Huma regulator for dad in his p-rod. It’s not going smoothly. Dad wants the reg installed without the pressure gauge. No matter what I try, the plenum doesn’t want to seal without the pressure gauge assembly installed. Another post on this forum suggested pressurizing...

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check everything one more time. Didn’t clean the low pressure reed valve yet.

Ended up getting more high pressure seals from Pyramid. Got them installed just fine. The compressor still won’t build pressure. Double checked everything Including the check valve. All looks fine. Did notice air blowing out the oil cap. Don’t remember it doing that before. Im open to...

Fixed it. Lowered reg pressure and got the hammer spring closer to where it wants to be. Yay.

Cool. Thanks. Double checked that. Ran it over chronograph. Velocity was good, 750fps for several shots. Refilled rifle with air. Velocity dropped to 630, increasing steadily to 700fps over 25 shots. Repeated. Same result. Not happy. It’s under warranty. Gonna send it back.
