Have any of you added an aftermarket regulator to your Regal? Which one? What were the results?
Daystate Hunstsman Regal aftermarket regulator

I have seen this question asked many times before. The general consensus is that it’s not worth it. Most people I read from say you loose power, and the shot count may not be as great compared to stock. But, take that with a grain of salt as I have no personal experience with that.

Done over a 1/2 dozen ... HuMa reg was used along with some valve work and some instances a different hammer configuration.
The .177 guns better suited and can get 60ish shots at 19 ft lbs
The .22 requiring a larger plenum generally @ 30-35 shots at @ 26-28 ft lbs.
Your results may differ ...

Better off getting the Regulated model.. my old regal was not regulated but the valve and sling shot system worked very well no POI Shifts over 40 shots..

I picked up a LH Regal last year that was a 40fpe model. Apparently it was getting like 15 shots at 40fpe w/i like 5%ES. The original owner could not live with this and put in a Huma to bring it down to like 32 shots at 28fpe (iirc) at 1-1.5% ES.
I see no reason to take it back to 40fpe at that dismal shot count so I think it worked well.

i got a regal xl huma regulated a month or so ago, its paperwork says 41FtLb. I get just over 20 good shots (from about 230 to 170 BAR) before the point of impact starts falling. is this the norm?
if yes, then i should learn to live with it i guess.
low shot count is the only gripe i have with this excellent rifle.
shouldnt a regulated rifle be shooting in the 'band' right from the 250BAR maximum pressure?

That Huntsman shouldn't be shooting too fast. Looks like they turned up the regulator on yours. You should be getting anywhere between 28 to 29 FPE with JSB 18.13gr shooting 830 to 850 FPS in the non-regulated and Huma Regulated model. With my non-regulated Huntsman XL, I get about 35 shots shooting JSB 18.13gr at 850 fps/29fpe from a 210 BAR to 135 BAR fill.

Degas, remove reg, turn reg pressure down, re-air and adjust hammer spring for the "plateau" velocity and see where you are. If not where you want to be, but still too high repeat the instructions. Now on the Regal "adjusting the hammer spring" means using different sized spacers and/or shims as there is no "adjuster".
