Huma Regulator for My Impact (X)?

[2manyAirGunz]

What is the perceived benefit of replacing the factory regulator with the (recently purchased) Huma regulator in my FX Impact(s)?

Is it worth the cost of the Huma and the work of removing and replacing the FX regulator?

I'm still in the the process of fine tuning my 2nd Impact in .22 caliber. I would like to use 25.4 gr JSB pellets @ 37-40fpe.

PS "Reg creep" has been an issue with my Impacts -- the "X" and the non-"X" -- with a range of up to 10 bars when the rifle sits overnight.

I also notice FPS difference of 20-25 in the first shot to the next shot when the rifle has sat overnight.

Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 shots before things settle. I have ordered a Huma for that reason.

I have a First gen WildCat, Crown, and Impact X no reg. problem with any of them.

@Val

Any experience installing/changing regulators?

I would love to be the beneficiary of your expertise when my Huma arrives.

 

[PerkyVal]

Not with a FX. I'll be learning as well.

AOA has a vid on youtube that shows the process tho. Looks easy enough, especially since you just drop in the Huma rather than to put the FX reg back together.

On the specs it says it is faster refilling than the original regulator too

I received a test reg from huma a couple months ago (may)... easy install just drops in hardest part was pulling the old one out.AOA has videos how to remove them, I didn't change the O ring in the action and have had no trouble with mine. .25 impact not the x.

Yes you have to be careful with o rings now, that’s the warranty gone, anyway that is what they say on the AOA video
