AEA HP Carbine regulator

Yes, I have. I own the .30 cal HP Assassin w/ a HUMA Regulator. I'm set @ 190 BAR at the moment, but 170 seems the sweet spot.

Youbetcha!

Adapter and bottle with regulator was off of eBay (below). I messed with the belleville washers and ended at 2800 psi on the regulator and I can now safely fill the bottle to 4500 psi.

I did steal the bottle and put it on the Varmint and stole the bottle off of another build and put it on this rig. Its smaller but I didn't want the bottle to be longer than the barrel.

Filled to 3800 psi, I got 100 shots of 14.3gr CPHP's at 900 fps until it fell off the regulator. The semi-auto function REALLY likes the regulator, smooth as butta'.

VERY COOL alternate solution... and cheaper!
What kind of stats are you getting? Have you got any chrono numbers to post?

BTW-

I find that the cheap
"Hatsan Vortex Strike .30cal Airgun Pellets, 48.6gr" work really well this gun. I have 7 magazines I load per session with those pellets. A nice sweet spot of 63 shots per fill.
Very happy plinking on the cheap with fine accuracy within 30-40 yds.
