Daystate Huntsman Regal XL Leaking Air. I Fixed It and Now I'm Happy. Pic Heavy

Hey Jude, (that sounds familiar) ha ha.

Nice write up, with the photos to give a great visual too. Once you take one apart there's really not that much to them. Glad I could help and I'm going to save the topic to my favorites as well. I've had several inquiries and questions on the Regal and tearing one down but since I've been without mine for a couple of years I'm slowly forgetting some of the details. Anyone that has or is thinking about getting a Regal it would be wise to save this link for future reference. Again, nice work and a + heading your way.

One thing I love about my Huntsman Regal is that this is Daystate's lowest model in their line of airguns that they offer and it's a shooter. Here's a few pics of one shooting session at 50, 70, 75, and 80 yards using JSB 18.13gr and 15.89 straight from the tin. Winds were about 5-10 mph. These are all 5 shot groups. All the 50 yard groups are less than 1/2 inch or under a dime. There's a couple 80 yard groups that fit under a dime. I say not bad for an unregulated gun with an average shooter.

Jude, yeah mine leaked from the high pressure side to underneath the O-ring/plastic seat combination. There was some machining marks that where pretty rough. If I remember I just used some very fine, like 800 or 1000 grit wrapped around the end of my finger. I can rule out using any rotating electric tools. I think it should have been finished smoother when machined out from the factory. It always amazed me that the Oring/plastic seat just being held centered up with the valve stem with the high pressure pushing down on it would seal as good as it does.

Peskadot, thank you mate. I've been looking for a step by step like this ever since I got my Regal. Very well done.

No problem. There's a lot of knowledgeable and helpful members on this forum. Feel free to ask any questions and I'm pretty sure someone will chime in. 

If anyone is interested, here's a link to some of the Daystate o-rings for different models to include the Huntsman Regal and Huntsman Classic. I found this thread very helpful and ordered a bunch of o-rings for future use from The O-Ring Store.
