Yeah, even my Uragans have a plenum sound when I shoot them. But it’s not a ping like an unregulated gun. It’s slightly annoying. But not as annoying as having to do this with a new gun that costs $600 more.

Quick update from my side. I own a M4 sniper and had the same slow 10-15 first shots. importer in the Netherlands would not admit a problem with the gun.. and decided to take it apart en inspect the valve rod.
lot of black gunk in the valvetube end and related orings.
Polished the valve rod, new orings, polished hammer spring, hammer and hammer weight. Light coat of silicone oil on the orings and ballistol on the hammer weight and spring…
First shots perfect and small spread…

As I sad before in this post . Sent to UA on FX nickle and got back an m4 that wakes up in one shot . NOW 2000 rounds later it is always woke up . Even after 3days it was within 7 fps of where it left off on the first shot . I love it .

Yup that's exactly what happened to me and I called Utah air and they said the reg needs rebuild so here we go.......I been new to fx air gunning for 4 months now,own several pcp's and wanted to kill pigeon at 100yard,non of my 1,000$ pcp's will get the job done properly,so I bought an impact m4,first week got me in love with the gun,learned how to tune it and noticed that first shots were little slower,no biggie i thought,as the days passed and I keep shooting the worming shots kept growing in count and considerably slower,so I made the call to Utah they said rebuild your regulator here is the parts,so I did and did not fix the issue,so i came here,did resurch and someone said take valve assy off cleaned and polish you have a valve sticking issue,MAGIC. That was exactly right,inside my valve looks horrible machining marks and grease was causing sticking and therefore no consistency,i wonder if Utah knew this and opted to send reg parts to make $because when they heard slower shots to worm up know I know is my valve sticking and i am a rookie just starting so i wonder....anyways slower shots string to worming up i bet the house now that ifvi clean the valve and polish will be 100% back to half inch groups at 100yard with pellets 33 grain one shot 10 feet slower from the day before is what I accept and i got little better than that so i can't complain and ,there you have why and what will be the most likely scenario for that particular symptom.

Okay idea but no...not acceptable to have to change settings to get up just to go back down.....what a pain,when you have a 2k airgun that should be off the table,valve sticking issue that is 99%of slower shots when sitting over couple of hours or from the day before ,valve polishing is the trick boys and gals.

This 100+ fps drop is driving me insane - and now the distributor here tells us it’s our settings…. So I guess many of us have just the wrong settings??? Very disappointed with this M4

Did Utah Air say what they did to fix it? Seems like there is a fix, but they'll only do it begrudgingly if a customer notices the issue and complains about it...As I sad before in this post .

. Seems to me these guns are probably an example of it is what it is. The design is what it is and overcoming it completely for good, not sure it will happen.Upvote 0
That’s why when I see internet cures for any gun with an illness, depending on the issue I can remain skeptical. With this particular issue I’m definitely skeptical. It’s the difference between a cure and remission. Without a flat surface for any oring to rest on, a magic oring or not, I think the problem will return. One of my three guns is just using a peek disc and a 90 oring. Been at least two years and thousands of shots because it’s my test barrel and primary hunting gun. Slow first shots haven’t returned. The other two guns have redesigned MKl plenum plugs for more than two years and they have been fine also. Glad you reported back.That is good news ! Hope it stays fixed after a few thousand rounds .
