Hi guys !!
As promised here are my first impression approximatly 30 minutes after the installation of the regulator.
Ordered last Wednesday, I received it today (long because of the easter week end). It came in a small envelop, no spares, no bits nothing except the regulator, you'd like at least spare O-rings when you compare to Robert Lane's reg which are sent with grease, drill bit, spares.
So the company based in Netherlands is very serious for the whole sending and tracking thing but we'd expect a bit more when we open the envelop.
That was the "down-side".
Now, the reg itself is really well made. You even have the pressures "written" by step of 5 (125 - 130 - 135 etc..) directly on the reg and the screw that has a small line that indicates at which pressure your reg is set which makes any tuning very easy. If you want a precise setting, the guys in Netherlands will do it for free if you ask them when ordering the product.
The fitting instructions on the huma website are crystal clear, you can't miss a step, you can absolutely NOT go wrong unless you don't follow the said instructions.
Fitting the reg might seem difficult at first but it's not. You only have to be patient and pay attention to what you are doing. Take the good measurements when it come to drilling the cylinder for the breathe hole and cutting the firing POT.
Be consciencious when sanding the inside of the cylinder (I used 1000 grit dry/wet sand paper) don't try to do it quickly. Time and patience are the master words here.
Now that it's fitted... Everything seems to be fine. No leaks detected for the moment, rifle filled up to 250 bars and reg is staying at 135 bars. When shooting, everything works flawlessly now, I only have to receive my chrony to check the velocities and if the reg is doing its job.
So that's it, my very first impression and, unless velocities are not stable, I'd definitely recommend this reg =)
Again, sorry for the mistakes.. Keep in mind I'm french !! ^^
