how low are you guys able to get your reg pressure on the avenge x? I seem to only be able to get down to a hair below 2000? I’m able to tune for most pellets but I really wanted to shoot the hades around 880 and I’m not able to do so unless I use the transfer port adjustment. I seem to recall getting the reg rather low on my old avenger pup. Any thoughts? Brand new gun maybe 400 shots thru it.

Have you degassed, closed the reg entirely. Then after refilling start moving the reg screw ever so slightly? I didnt have the X but an avenger pup. 1400-1500 was as low as I could get

I degassed and closed the reg completely, it is still currently completely closed and is hanging around 2000. The velocity is very consistent but I know it can’t be correct. I sent an email to PA a few minutes ago so we shall see what they say.

Nope did everything by the books, I had an avenger pup back in the day and probably tuned it dozens of times without issue.

I'd just take it out and take a look. When I first shot mine a bunch after a while it was having a regulator issue. I think some water was getting into it, I had a shoe box compressor and a couple small filters out in the winter air. It started to shoot inconsistently and blah blah. I took out the reg, bunch of liquid was in it, like a teaspoon worth. Dried it out, gave everything a wipe down with the silicone oil patches, greased it back up, and all the problems were fixed.

If you do take it out just be careful of the little washers. Be slow and deliberate. Take a pic of them asap so you can see how they're oriented.

I will most likely be doing this. I want to confirm with PA that I can get a new reg under warranty first before possibly breaking it more. Do we think it could be a bad o ring or something? The reg doesn’t really creep at all, overnight it’ll go up maybe 100 or 200 psi but after the first shot it stabilizes, and I’ve seen that before. I don’t think the reg is bad bad because I’m still able to shoot the jsb 18s at 890 with a spread of like 7 fps over 36 shots or so.

It could absolutely just be a bad o-ring. I've had to replace those as well, they were dried up, stiff, and crumbly.

Okay so not to sound too uneducated, but are these o-rings on / in the reg itself or are they in the gun surrounding the reg?

They'll be on the reg itself. I'm working off memory here so bare with me. The regulator I think needs a hex socket to take out. It's like a two-parter piece, an outer and an inner. The inner will have the belleville washers. I think they'll be easy to mess up since you have to pull the inner from the outer.

Anyways, the O-rings will be on the regulator itself. It's legit not a big deal to take the regulator out. Just have some 100% silicone oil and grease on hand when doing this.

I’ll most likely be doing this on Thursday, I will update you on how progress goes. Thank you for the help here!
