In my life, i have not had a gun with so many problems like this Royale.
Some months ago, i have bought a Royale laminate regulated in .22 to Hurricane in Sweden. The gun was setted at 10j due of legal restrictions and they sold me apart a High Power kit (wich includes the new power adjuster with the new tranfer ports diameters and the new valve supporter). Hurricane told me after the kit is installed the gun will be capable of 30+fpe. Now it's installed and i'm getting 23fpe (750fps with 18.1) with a ES of 25fpe, not even close to the adverticed energy.
Then, i discover the CF bottle (wich i bought apart) was touching the barrel changing POI after a few shots (that problem was solved in a very rustic way by me).
Now, a few minutes ago, i was screwing my CF bottle after using the aluminum one, when i discovered that the valve was not opening, the air was not leaving the CF bottle to reach the breech block. When i took it out, i discover the golden ring that is inside the valve was missing so it doesn't open.
I have to add that where i live, we have not oficial dealers and considering Sweden is on the other side of the world, send it back to the dealer is not even a point of discussion. I don't know how i'm gonna solve this, but when i spend $1800 on a rifle, i'm NOT hoping at all to deal with this kind of issues.
I add twoo pics of the CF bottle valve, and two of the aluminum bottle valve, just to see the differences.

I hope not to have more surprises...
