Hello Sqrlhntr, nice shooting out of the box. I am a new airgunner and I have a Benjamin Armada 22. You seem to know the Marauder very well and I was hoping you could answer a couple of questions. I just installed Huma reg that was @105 bar out of the package along with the new filler / pressure gauge. I bumped that up to about 118 bar (1750 psi) and installed. The original fill gauge is reading 2000 psi ( now the reg gauge) and the new tank gauge is reading 160 bar (2320 psi) after a fill with my compressor set at 3000 psi (204 bar). B 4 reg, tank gauge and compressor gauge always matched. All parts are new from Air guns of Az.
Q1- is the new gauge possibly bad?
Q2- why does the reg pressure seem to be higher than the setting I was looking to have?
Q3- next mod coming in Nov from Mountain air is a 22 in L/W barrel, what can I do next to achieve competitive accuracy?
Thanks in advance. Happy gunning!
If you just turned the screw to the pressure you wanted it won’t be right. Whenever you
increase the pressure on the HUMA reg you need to go about 10 bar above what you want to set it at then back it back down to the pressure you want. When you decrease pressure just back the screw down to the pressure you want.
They do need some time to settle in also.
You may need a lighter hammer with a reg. At the very least you’ll need an ssg or tss to eliminate hammer bounce. Otherwise you’ll probably be wasting air and it won’t be as quiet as it should be.
