    How Delicate is it?

    In general, how delicate is a PCP rifle? No specific brands, but everything. Or maybe if you have knowledge of one style being better than others. Example I can think of: I'm out hunting and I bump a tree limb with the barrel. Is that going to mess up my point of impact? Will I need to...

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    This just happened to mine as well. I noticed that the bottle adapter wasn't screwing in hand tight like it had in the past - the screw on top of the Huma was unscrewing. Now I have no idea where the Huma reg pressure is right now. I never measured the OAL of the reg before I installed it. I...

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    Where can I get that adapter? Or how is it described, so I can search for it. That's not a cheap pressure gauge you have! Nice....

    That's great information.

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    AOA installed the FX regulator when I bought it. I bought the Huma just recently.

    Grease is correct. No, I've not tried the different power wheel settings. I'll investigate the o-rings though.

    Can you reference something that details how to do what you are saying?

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    The Huma is pretty new - but it could also be an issue. I tried the tissue test and there was nothing obvious.

    The bottle pressure is still 190 though.

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    This pretty much sums up how inconsistent my Royale 500 0.25 is right now. I adjusted the hammer spring a half turn from all the way in and the Huma regulator is at 145 bar. I filled the gun to 200 bar. I had 4 JSB 33.95 grain Mk II pellets in the magazine so I shot those. I'm using the FX...

    Tuning FX Royale 500 and Huma Regulator

    Yes!!! - I was able to adjust the hammer spring tension today. Thanks to all for the comments! I am above 810 FPS and still adjusting, just taking it slowly and methodically. More testing tomorrow. Wow, the information you guys provide is awesome. Thanks for getting me going in the right...

    Tuning FX Royale 500 and Huma Regulator

    Thanks for the information. This gun has the Loctite on the HST adjuster nut, so trying to make an adjustment there might be an adventure (one that might be not worth attempting, maybe). I've read elsewhere on this forum of people having to basically cut it out and get a new one.

    Tuning FX Royale 500 and Huma Regulator

    So I decided to replace the stock installed (by AOA) FX regulator with a Huma in my Royale 500, 0.25 caliber. I'm using JSB Exact Heavy Mk II, 33.95 grain. I am using the new FX Radar Chronograph. This is a older Royale (circa 2015, internal regulator, 3 position power wheel only). Power...
