There is a section of the barrel that protrudes from the block on all of mine about 1/16" to 3/32". My single shot tray fits snug on all as well.

Hamster was acquired second hand but at best guess the "Mechanics" are a MAC-1, the knee block is custom made from wood with non skid on the bottom.
When gun was ordered had Martin install a rail so when the time came to need it ... had it.
I can't give any exacts because it has a totally different valve with a Cobra mod, super light hammer and an internal SSG devise in play.
But is running IIRC in about 110 bar.
Rifle had been for the 2017 & 2018 FT seasons set up as a Hunter class gun in .20 cal. To make the conversion easily flip between a 20 ft lb .20 and 12 ft lb .177 with minimal fuss engineered & set it up so ONLY the SSG ( Contain spring & stop guide ) required a swap along with barrel/s. When at .20 cal the gun on the 500 cc bottle was in around 200-220 shots and as a 12 ft lb gun likely in excess of 350. * Never tried or had to worry about air use.
Having worked in the R&D of both the SSG & Cobra valve tech & applied both the efficiency is pretty outstanding.

The trays are rounded so you can adjust the pitch to best suit the angle you desire when hand loading. So far I have had good luck with both of mine staying put.

Note the very bottom of the tray, Mine has no gap like your has. Mine fits snug. the gap at the bottom of yours may be the cause of your problems.
MG,
Mine is a .22 cal. that said my .25 cal and .30 cal are all the same HM1000X model. Snug front to back with no gap like your gun has.
I really feel that your tray is too short in length to properly fill the gap.

In HM1000X 60 ftlb RAW does not use valve air filter. I just examined mine.
The design without the air filter definitely improves air flow.
Just a sharing with those who want to go a step ahead than just praising the looks.

Nice! Well, I have some good and bad news, starting with the bad first - while I didn't completely disassemble my regulator this evening, but I took it out to experiment with different pressure settings. I bought a Best Fittings Theoben Rapid Tester specifically to gauge and tune the pressure for this reg, but noticed right away that the reg wasn't threading into the tester!
I contacted Ken Hicks and after some back and forth, confirmed that my regulator threads are from the ones used in the .357, which will not thread. I'm pretty bummed about about this, but I decided to go ahead and adjust the reg to see if I could get the power up some more for 33gr slugs. A little trial and error ensued, went the wrong way the first time 1/4 turn and dropped the power down from the factory 885fps to 816fps (I used 34gr MKIIs for power testing). I then adjusted it so it was 1/4 turn clockwise, and it still lost some speed (866fps).
I reset the lock but to factory (73.74mm end to end) and adjusted it clockwise down to 73.63, and wallah - my rifle is shooting the heavies at 922fps with a fairly decent ES of 6!
Hoping the weather is decent next weekend, this weekend so I can see how the slugs group.
