FX Gladiator Help Please!

[Olevey]

I had the screw that screws into the action and has female threading on the top break off. I went to look at diagrams of the Gladiator and all the ones I found have a different type of brass tune to connect the two air tanks than mine does. They all show a tube that goes from the front of the action where the tank screws in to the back behind the hammer spring. Mine goes to the same place by the hammer spring but terminates beneath the screw that I mentioned above that the stock screw goes in. Does anyone know anything about this?

Is yours a MK1 or MK2 model ? Can you post a picture so I can have better idea of the parts you are talking about. I have a MK 1 Gladiator.

It's an MK2, here is a pic of the tube. Thanks a lot I appreciate it. All the Glads that I have seen have that tube extended past the gauge and the screw that held it in seemed to have a hole in it to transfer the air. Then on the top of the same screw the stock fastener screw went in.

On my Fx glad mk2 the coper pipe is longer. Maybe it is because yours is not regulated.

I wanted mine to be regulated so FX had no other option than bringing the pipe to the front end of the block. In your case it works but you will not be able to add an fx regulator in the future.

here the drawing of the vermi (same design as the glad in fact):

You can see that the part "C" has 2 options (a short and a long copper pipe). The same for part "F", there is 2 options (for regulated or non regulated version).

Hope it helps.

Thanks Dreuf I had seen that but was hesitant as I wasn't sure why the diagram isn't categorized under the Glad Mk2. I have to order the part, do you think I should order the longer one, in other words aside from the components in that diagram if I want to do the reg in the future is that all I have to get aside from part F? I would like to just put the longer pipe in. (That's what she said) Any suggestions on where to order from? Last time I used Bagnall.

Unfortunately FX did not release the Glad mk2 drawings (not so dramatic since it is a royale base block and the vermi mk2 is the same)

If you plan to add a reg in the future you will need parts C1 + F9/10/11/12/13. Of course you will need the reg (ref A36).

The reg will give you a massive number of regulated shots (120 at 60J for me).

I live in France so not a big help for you. In the US I think AOA could be the way to go.
