RTI Mora Regulator Adjustment

[shamu]

I've watched videos and read posts about adjusting the Mora regulator. They say to degas the gun every time you make adjustments. The latest manual from RTI says that you can increase the 2nd stage reg by turning the adjustment screw clockwise.. To decrease reg pressure it says to Crack open the bleed screw and turn counterclockwise. Only mention of degassing is when you adjust the 1st stage reg which is rarely done.
Is this procedure revised since the earlier Moras?

The real reason why it is NEVER advisable to adjust a regulator on any gun while there is pressure on the regulator is because it causes scoring on the two sealing surfaces due to the high differential pressure being applied. You can be occasionally lucky and not cause a leak, but the correct answer is to never adjust any regulator when there is pressure on it.

True, Unless you own a KalibrGun Snipe 2 PCP Air Rifle, that allows you adjust up & down under pressure. It's a great feature, but I haven't read anywhere that explains how they accomplished it?

In practical use, the 2nd stage reg can be adjusted without degassing the gun. To INCREASE reg pressure, turn the adjuster CLOCKWISE. This can be done freely. However, when DECREASING pressure you must do so in very small increments so as not to damage the regulator. Turning the adjuster 1/⁸ of a turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE at a time, then cock and fire the gun and repeat this process until the desired pressure is achieved.

If you believe you can do that without risk, I have a cheap bridge to sell you.

I have adjusted up / down under pressure for many years with no problems.

True my Maverick i got on release back then i have changed regulators on, but not CUZ they was broken / not working, and then there was that one time with the brain freeze where i thought my front regulator was a bleed screw, so that cost me two new 1x2 mm O-rings.

I also adjust my Epic two up / down, between 30 BAR to about 110 BAR depending on what i want to shoot, that did not hurt the Huma regulator i had in there for the better part of a year, and the new Epic one regulator i run seem OK with it too.
The epic Two is a single regulator gun, with 300 BAR in front of it.

EDIT:

I of course do NOT go from 110 BAR to 30 in one go, i do about 5-6 adjust - shoot to bleed and look ( at gauge ) before i am there.
And as 30 BAR is at the very bottom of what the regulator can do, i some times go to far and the regulator turn into a valve that is OFF, so when gauge is under 30 i open regulator to when i can hear it regulate and see pressure go up.

PS: I need very low pressure for lighter stuff pellets ASO, otherwise they fly too fast out of the 700 mm barrel.

And even if i am a slug whore, well dropping the pressure a lot like 2/3 and then load up some pellets, for some in close wholesome fun, well i like that too and will gladly shoot a tin or two like that on a nice summer day at the range.
Everything within 50 M and small is in mortal danger of getting flattened brutally ( flies ) or cut to pieces ( branches - flowers - blades of grass )

Reg adjustment starts at around 7:45 in the video.

Where does it say to degas it every time?

To access the 1st reg, you need to degas the gun...

yes, that's clear in your instructions
