Can a Daystate Tsar .177- 12 ft/lb be reconfigured to 20 ft/lb ? If it can be what is the approximate cost and how difficult is it ?
Sounds like you have been there and done that! What would you recommend for a barrel solution?Requires an adjustable regulator (like the Huma) removing Tranfer port restrictor and/or a different poppet valve or modification of the existing poppet.
Hard to explain but for me it’s the way the Tsar balances at the shoulder, it just feels right! I’m sending my Tsar off to AOA for a few tweaks including huma parts, I’m hoping once it’s in their hands I can talk them into work on the transfer port and poppet. I just want to throw 10.43’s <20FPE or 13.4’s at a stable speed.I'm sure it can be done. But, it seems like an expensive way to get a 20 fpe rifle when there are many good ones available.
I would tune it for 19.5fpe, test the barrel on it first with those two pellets you mentioned. It's quite possible would be accurate. Sometimes they just need some lapping. If it just doesnt cut it, then I would consider a polygon or even another LWSounds like you have been there and done that! What would you recommend for a barrel solution?
Yep, I love the ergonomic adjustability of the Tsar. Excellent trigger to.Hard to explain but for me it’s the way the Tsar balances at the shoulder, it just feels right!

I don't .. only known 2 persons with Tsar's over these past 5 yrs or so. And come to think of it may have been the same rifle under 2 owners ?Maybe @Motorhead has experience with Tsar, never seen a Tsar without a 12fpe tune but they are rare to begin with.
My guns back from AOA and I’m very pleased with my Tsar, shooting JSBs 13.4’s at 808 fps. Shooting flat and straight from 25 yard zero out to 42 yards approx…. Time to create a dope chart ! And begin the real tests to see how she groups. They installed my huma reg and huma plenum and apparently did some other magic.Requires an adjustable regulator (like the Huma) removing Tranfer port restrictor and/or a different poppet valve or modification of the existing poppet.
Do you happen to know the twist rate for the Tsar barrel?I would tune it for 19.5fpe, test the barrel on it first with those two pellets you mentioned. It's quite possible would be accurate.

I havent confirmed it hands on but I recall the specifications saying 1:17.7Do you happen to know the twist rate for the Tsar barrel?
