Fx Royale disassembly

[Menttaliist]

I have a Royale in .22 and the question is the next one. When i remove the CF bottle, does it still have air in inside? I mean, i have to work with the valve and change a few things inside and i wanna make sure there is no air on it, but i don't know if there will be air (maybe in the regulator). I dont wanna dry fire to chek it because if it isn't, i can bend the valve pin. As far as i know, on the Impact you have to dry fire in order to completely degas the gun. I hope you understood me

No need to, the bottle has got a check valve. There is an easy way to degas your gun.
Just loosen the bottle a couple of turns, and loosen the stud where the stock attaches with a 10mm spanner.
This stud has an o-ring underneath, and it is hollow to degas the action.
When the pressure in the action is released, it is also way easier to turn the bottle because the pressure is gone.

So, i take out the CF bottle and then degas the action. But i think i didn't understood how do degas it. Right now i haven't the gun with me so i can't see exactly what you are talking about. What do i have to do with that oring in order to degas the action? Later today i will try, when i have the rifle with me.

When you read the next post, you can see which stud I mean ☺

I removed it in order to measure the regulator pressure (first 3 photos)

When you loosen the stud, it will bleed the whole action.
I always loosen the bottle for a couple of turns to close the bottle valve, bleed the action and then completely loosening the bottle. (Easier to turn without pressure )

However, it can't do any harm to remove the bottle completely in the first place before bleeding the action.

Kind regards,

Geat explanation! And you show me a grate way to measure de regulator pressure to! Now it's time to install the HP kit and set the gun to 32fpe, because i bought the gun in Sweden and it's setted to 10j!
Just the last one... i supose i have to remove the stud very slowly letting the gun to bleed out carefully, am i right?

Naaah, it can take something ☺ Don't panic if it suddenly bleeds with a loud pop and hiss, because the o-ring will pop out. There is a bit of loctite on the M6 part of the stud, but this is not really necessary because the o-ring will prevent it from leaking.
I have put mine back dry (wipe off old loctite thoroughly), and it does not leak.
Tobias sets up his regulators at 140bar, so no need to change that☺.
Be careful with the o-rings of the power adjuster, they tend to pop into the thread holes and transfer port when you push in the power adjuster, and take a bite out of the o-ring.

Ok, i will take your recommendations and try to figure out the process to follow without ruining it. Any recommendation will be welcome
