How difficult was it to move the Reg off the Edgun onto the Impact? I was also considering this as I just ordered the R5M and would rather have an analog gauge on the R5M.

The battery died in mine after six months. It was an easy switch. The only thing to remember is don't play with the fill port cover. I was like click/click back and forth. "Ping, what was that, That hit me." 3MM ball bearing. Damnit, I was warned about this.

Hi All,
Just checking in, got myself a nice .25 R5M with a Valiant Zephyr scope and a Carbon PSR bipod. Changed over the digital gauge for an analoge one, installed the HUMA regulator and set the velocity of the JSB king's 34 grains pellets at 280m/s (920fps), with excellent results at 25m (27 yards) and 40m (44 yards) at a max spread of about 10mm (0,4 inch). As soon as I can find a decent spot for longer range testing I will try him out at 100 and 100+ ranges. So far, It's an amazing bit of kit!

Note to help you all out, Matadors and all edguns are not set up for slugs!!!
They can be, they need to be at the least throated and this does not hurt pellet performance if done correctly.
their straight push feed system does not have a ton of mechanical advantage for bullet seating, so the bbl need to be set up for this use.
They make brilliant slug guns, when set up for slugs.
