Isn't Daystate dropping the ball?

[steppenwulf]

i've had several top end daystate guns over the years, and my most recent one is an unreged renegade (added a huma). my issue is that none of the guns i've owned had access to the hammer spring for fine tuning your speed. has that changed with the new reged daystates? if not why would their guns not have this option? seems like a no brainer to me.

Plenty of rifles don't have access to hammer spring pre-load changes. Air arms are commonly known as another. I agree this should be an inherent function in all pcp rifles some manufacturers apparently feel otherwise. 



Both hammer springs and poppet heads will see wear over a large number of shots and will require increased hammer preload to obtain the same fps, in the situation without hammer spring access you have to add shims to increase preload and do guess work while partially dissembling the rifle each time, pita.

Oh Snap, now you've done it...

Yeah thats one of the reasons i chose fx.

I believe with the English guns it has something to do with the strict anti tampering laws they have there.

No need for any adjuster if balanced/tuned correctly and springs last 40,000+ shots w/out issue.

TOTAL adjustment is the current latest greatest must have however it is still a fact the majority of users get there rig dialed in and leave it alone and for repeatable adjustable power a transfer port is a better ( not max efficiency but) to go for all most all shooters.

Crosman was the first to offer a ton of adjustments and just having those adjustments ( and perhaps a good number of newbies ?) is a reason so many ended up "refurb". But they DID sell the U.S. market on that much "needed" feature others chimed in with

There all adjustable, even a beeman mako just not as fast & easy ( but less costly and less potential problems ) but once properly tuned need never be touched again.

I switch calibers and go back and forth between 10fpe indoor plinking and full power. So the set and forget wouldnt work for me but i see your point

Daystates do have adjustment at least my wolverine hi lite does. Its not spring pre load but hammer travel adjustment.

Theyre innovating in other ways, calling it dropping fhe ball isnt really accurate. Probably the best year for Daystate in a long time.
