Daystate Huntsman Revere .... Can you adjust power setting?

The short answer is that yes it is all possible, but not easy. Out of the box they are getting great results. Not sure I would even want to mess with it.

Striker travel length can be adjusted but the stock must be removed:

The hammer spring can be shimmed, again with stock removed (among other things):

Adjusting the reg would require degassing & removing it from the tube.

So they're adjustable, but not externally. I absolutely LOVE this rifle, but would not recommend to someone needing/wanting quick, easy, frequent power adjustments. 

Fwiw I agree unless you're only hunting small animals. 

Would be comfortable hunting squirrels & cottontail rabbits with my .177. Would want the .22 or . 25 version for anything bigger, but no good for HFT then.

Since it's not my money, just get one in each caliber

I don't own that specific gun yet but if it were me knowing how cumbersome adjusting the power setting that one is I would just restrict the TP. Swap it out with an improvised one and swap it back whenever the mood swings the other way. Just be sure the scope ring positions don't interfere with the removal of the breech block screws. That way gun stays zeroed.

Sure looks like either Marauder TP may fit or find another gun TP reference or make your own out of delrin or restricted pipe tubing and drill it out. Pretty common sense to me.

Pictures reference only go buy the OEM Marauder or P Rod TP from Crosman if they fit save money HILL pics reference only.

I would order the 12fpe version OEM Daystate TP several to experiment along with couple FAC if they're different and one from their most powerful largest caliber gun. Or couple same as yours and drill out one and plug the rest with hard drying epoxy or fiberglass resin or JB weld and drill smaller holes in different diameters to restrict power.

Something like a Crosman 1701P 1720T P-Rod trick upping and lowering power just by swapping TPs.

I will look at the Daystate Reserve as maybe next or after that gun...I am still waiting for my Crown Continuum to arrive. And truly think something like and EdGun Leshiy or Taipan will be next on the purchase list.

No dogs on that list

That will be next to impossible with the Revere. I could be wrong, but I don't remember there being that much room in front of and behind the breech block screws. The scope rings pretty much cover them up. (I remember this because someone else asked me about it specifically.)

you can adjust the striker pin in or out 

If the Revere is like the Regal design, you can adjust the slingshot hammer striker for more or less throw distance to adjust the velocity. Here's how.

Remove the action from the stock by using a 5mm key in the screw underneath the stock. Make sure the Revere has no pellets in the magazine or chamber. Cock the action using the side lever and then click the safety on. Insert a 3mm allen key in the hole in the rear of the action behind the safety and feel when it is place. With the action upside down looking in front of the trigger guard, turn the 3mm key until the set screw appears in the opening on the hammer. Use a 2mm allen key to loosen this set screw partially until turning the 3mm key in the rear of the action rotates the set screw until it is stopped from rotating in its slot. Do this carefully so you don't lose the set screw by loosening it too much. Now you just turn the 3mm key in the rear which is shortening or lengthening the striker travel. This will change the velocity. I suggest working in 1/2 turn increments, taking note of your starting point. Each time you make an adjustment, don't forget to tighten down the set screw to hold your setting. Check your results with a chronograph and fine tune your velocity in smaller turn increments once you get in range of your desired pellet speed. It's very easy to do once you get familiar with the process. It's not as easy as adjusting an FX but it is not that difficult to do. Hope this helps.

If the Revere is like the Regal design, you can adjust the hammer spring tension for more or less preload to adjust the velocity. Here's how.

Remove the action from the stock by using a 5mm key in the screw underneath the stock. Make sure the Revere has no pellets in the magazine or chamber. Cock the action using the sid elever and then click the safety on. Insert a 3mm allen key in the hole in the rear of the action behind the safety and feel when it is place. With the action upside down looking in front of the trigger guard, turn the 3mm key until the set screw appears in the opening on the hammer.

Do this carefully so you don't lose the set screw by loosening it too much. Now you just turn the 3mm key in the rear which is shortening or lengthening the striker travel. This adusts the velocity.

It's very easy to do once you get the procedure understood. It's not as easy as adjusting an FX but it is not that difficult to do. Hope this helps.

If recollection of what I've read is correct this adjustment sets the throw distance by moving the striker in/out of the hammer.

This, I think, does not a change hammer spring preload

Correct. Striker length adjustment of the slingshot hammer.

I believe in order to change hammer spring tension, without changing springs, you will need to fabricate or find some type of spacer to insert behind the spring to increase preload. More of an alteration than adjustment, I guess. Think of the Revere as the antethisis of an FX Impact. And that is a good thing.

The TP seems to be about the same as the one Yo posted above.

Ed is correct in that the procedure outlined above changes the hammer striker throw distance rather than the hammer spring preload. I edited my earlier post to reflect this fact The bottom line is that you can adjust the velocity of your Revere using this procedure.
