Hey Y'all,
I installed a Huma Reg and a lightweight hammer in my marauder yesterday. The reg is set a ~110 BAR and the hammer is about 16 grams. There is no striker hole in the hammer. It is one of Motorhead's hammers. I chronographed it today and it is shooting 10.3's at around 675. I plan to shoot open class field target so this is much too low. Even with the hammer spring tension (the 1/4" one in the rear of the air cylinder) cranked all the way in it only runs at 775. Without the striker adjustment, what can I do to up the power without ruining the efficiency and consistency of the regulator? Stiffer hammer spring? Softer hammer spring?
Also, the velocity screw is venting air. Is this normal? Even when it is only cracked open half a turn it still vents. I'm wondering if this might be why the velocity is so low. Air is also venting from the hole behind the hammer but I understand that this is normal.
Thanks,
Nic
