Daystate Regal Teardown Guide

Some have shown some interest in this so I thought I'd share what I've learned on taking apart the Daystate Regal. Who knows it might save a trip back to AOA. I've had mine completely down to the valve and replaced a seat to stop a small leak I had a couple of years ago. Step one, remove the scope and action from the stock, Step two, to remove the upper receiver and barrel/shroud in one piece, loosen the three set screws on the barrel band (1.5mm) and slide the band off of the air tube. Now remove the six screws holding the upper receiver to the valve body. Four are hex screws the other two down in the recess of the breech where the pellet probe is visible are regular slotted screws. Here's a kicker though the two front hex screws nearest the muzzle are 2.5mm and the back two by the bolt handle are 3/32". With the top half off you can re-lube the bolt and associated moving parts. There is also a transfer port there to keep tabs on.Step 3 to remove the hammer spring and the hammer the safety assemble needs to come off by removing the two 1.5mm set screws on the side of the valve body/trigger assembly. There will be some spring on it so beware. Step 4 to remove the hammer for inspection or polishing remove the cocking lug hex screw that is viewable on top of the hammer body. Sorry I don't have a photo of it. With the hex screw removed you might have to rotate the hammer and pull the trigger to let it slide out. Step 5 to remove the air tube to gain access to the valve, poppet and seat the air has to be drained from the air tube by loosening the gauge slowly and allowing the air to escape. Once you've confirmed 100% that the pressure is zero you can unscrew the air tube from the valve body. This is what you should be down to, just the valve body and trigger assembly still attached with the two sealing O-rings.Step 6 to remove the valve seat and poppet, remove the valve by unscrewing the valve assembly from the valve body.The little yellow donut which is the seat just sits in the bottom of the valve body. This is what was leaking on mine.That's it in a nut shell, I ended up polishing the bottom of the valve body to get a good seal on the yellow seat.
 
Thanks all,
Havocx, it seems like mine was a little tight at first but came off easy enough anyway. You might heat it with a hair dryer and see what happens. It might even take a little warmer flame but that would probably ruin the O-rings. I don't remember mine having any Loctite on the threads but maybe yours does. Some of the Regals are built "tamper proof" from what I understand. Is yours an FAC gun or 12#?

maybe im the only one with bad eyes but are theses pictures really all that blurry ?

Yes, they are blurry. I think you have to click on them, takes you to Photobucket. Pictures are clear there, but crashes my browser. 

Edit: I realized now this is a pretty old thread. Don’t think the forum hosted pictures natively at the time, requiring a service such as PB. Same way you can’t just post a video, but rather a link to it. 

@Jking this is definitely a great service folk that own this gun. I had one, sold it, and every so often think about getting it again. If I do, this thread would come in very handy. Thanks! 
 
Guys, sorry for the crappy photos. This wasn't the original post that I made way back when. The original post was a lot better and the pictures were clear. After Photobucket quit making photo storage and posting free and locked everyone out till they paid the ransom. It also froze the photos on their site and they also removed the photos that were in my post. There's should be another well written and photographed thread basically like mine by another good member. If i can find our PM's I'll update this thread with his forum name. Maybe he can repost what he had.

Do you know how the end of the shroud assembly fits to the barrel? Does it matter how the tuning fork fits in? 

I was replacing the adapotor for the sumo because I had damaged the threds while taking it off. Thought I would take a look at how it all fits together. When I put it back in place I have some clipping now. Even with the sumo off.. 





There are a couple of small set screws on the bottom side of the shroud near the receiver end. You can remover those and rotate the shroud back and forth while pulling on it and it should come off. If not it might take a little heat. I'm not following what your referring to as the tuning fork. If you'd post a photo that would help.

hi jking; I have a daystate huntsman regal and I have a leak coming from the barrel the only way I can tell that is buy putting the tip of the barrel in a glass of water then bubbles come out do you think its the seal in the main valve assembly by the breech doesn't seem to leak anywhere else please help me out thanks



If it's leaking from the barrel, it's the valve seat. Same thing that jking fixed in the original post.
