Can someone explain how the dual reg works in the FX rifles? It’s a bit confusing. I would like an explanation as to what it does, and how you tune it. Thanks.
The first reg basically takes some of the pressure off of the second reg making the pressure going into the plenum more consistent. The first one will be set higher than the second one, say 190 bar for the first and 140 bar for the second for example.
I am of the idea that they got to know that a so big plenum was not efficient, so they patch the lack of functioning of the first regulator including a second regulator that works as if it was just one regulator with a small plenum.
The work of the second regulator is smoother because always has to contain a not so high preassure.
But the efficiency of only one good regulator with the adecuate size of plenum should give "exactly" the same results.
Lets see if Scott "Motorhead" give us his opinión.
It's the perfect solution to a nonexistent problem.

Exactly ... A correct functioning single regulator having hammers weight and strike energy ( spring ) in sync for power wanted / tuned for works just as well with 1/2 fewer parts to fail. Add more o-rings, more dynamic motion = lower reliability.
Just an extension of FX's marketing that more stuff to adjust, better it sounds the better it must be. Upgrade anyone ? ... LOL

Ok. But why can’t you set the first reg pressure to like 150 and then the second to 140? Wouldn’t it be even more consistent like that?
