Daystate Regulated my Daystate Red Wolf

[GermanFXFanboy]

I bought a Red Wolf for the german market and it's limited to 7,5J. The second limit is, they are only allowed by daystate to be filled to 180bar, although the bottle is rated to 250bar. I filled the gun to 182bar and did a shot string down to 118bar where it showed low pressure in the display. That was hours of work but it did outstanding 493 shots. That's 7,7 shots with one bar of air, crazy. Then I did some math which showed the following:

Best string was from 150-140bar and now a big research begun. No regulators for the Red Wolf available. It seems, noone did it before. I looked over the exploded views from nearly all bottle guns Daystate produces and found out that the bottle and the O-Ring for the bottle of the Wolverine were the same size. Bingo! Then I ordered a Wolverine bottle reg from Huma-Air and it fits perfectly. Set it to 150bar and it settled at around 148bar with a very fast recovery time after each shot. Love it. Doing the math again it looks like this now:

Perfect. Now I can fill the gun to 250bar and shoot it down to 148bar and I can do nearly 900 shots with one fill with a perfect deviation between the shots. The gun looks like that now:

Love the Red Wolf!
This one is the reg you need: https://huma-air.com/daystate-wolverine-hi-lite-regulator-by-huma-air/

Excellent results! These guns have an optimal pressure range where accuracy and consistency are best, even with the same final velocity.
You may have to change your name to GermanDaystateFanboy lol. I like them all!

Well done !!
A point to share is that ... By adding a in-line bottle reg you also created a small plenum ( Space within valve housing and space to back side of Reg ) that is now the ONLY air the gun processes each shot.

we have done it a couple of different ways we did a M3 reg with removable bottle and a cylinder conversion with a wolverine reg, this was on a 16j sub 12 lbft Redwolf i found the best pressure for the reg on 16j guns to be 160bar and as said it does create a small plenum on the bottle version so a bit restricting for HP guns on the cylinder conversion with the reg in the cylinder you can have a play with the plenum size but for 16j guns you don't much plenum vol so it's not really an issue, the reg's seem to work very well in both guns

A pic of the new drop block we made to accept the M3 reg and a valved bottle for the standard Redwolf you can see the bottle sits a tad further out on the blue one and a pic of the cylinder conversion with the Huma in the tube

Hi Man, I've seen all your videos. Great info you give to the public. Thanks for that. It's a pity you don't sell those things. But Huma-Air isn't a bad place to buy too.

Well done !!

Yes, that's why the reg recovers so fast. Love it!
