I have ordered the regulator but I do not know what bar I should request it to be set for, I believe it is user adjustable. I also will be planning to install a hill modified power valve and a new gauge( more accurate than the stock one). The hill valve comes with 2 springs one is med a the other is light I believe. First ? is how many bar should the regulator be set for and 2 ? is which spring should I use in the power valve? 3rd ? is should I use the 12.5 pound spring for the hammer or use stock or different or modify stock spring by cutting a coil or two? My gun likes JSB 39 grain diablo and Benjamin target pellets.
Huma regulator with pressure gauge on my 25 cal synrod
- Thread starter Vaejovis22
- Start date
I had mine set to 130bar (will be double checking & probably adjusting 130-140bar).
That's where it looks like my .25 armada's sweet spot is (my huma should be here soon).
Shot string, here is where my armada is shooting w/o a reg:
I also run a modded valve, SSG, but I also use a lightweight hammer I made (19g, 25g & 33g). I'm using a very weak poppet spring.
Hammers I have made (trying to find what weight works best with my poppet spring:
Usually, a reg will really shine when also matched with a lighter weight hammer.
Soon as my reg is in & installed I can give better info.

Thanks!
I have a stock hammer , do you think I should use a stock spring or a 12.5 lb spring with the stock hammer? Should the throw be shortened?

lighter is better....springs & hammers.
Since the pressure behind the poppet is constant and at a lower pressure with the reg....you dont want to over power it with a heavy spring or heavy moving mass (hammer). Lighter reg pressure = lighter valve spring, lighter hammer spring & lighter hammer.....(to make the most out of your fill & tune).
Not too many people reg a .25 mrod. (I have only read about 3 other than you and me that are in that group).
Not too much info out there.....just what has worked on the .22 &.177s and "what usually works".
When mine comes in, I will report back and share as much as I find out about mine.

Wow , I am usually never on the cutting edge except on my Fiat 500 Abarth where I have beta tested a few mods for some friends. I am looking forward to learning more about this hobby/ sport. I have been bitten pretty hard because in the past few weeks I bought a shoebox and a tank as well as a 22 cal Brocock and a 308 Dennis Quackenbush.

In order to get more help on setup you need to post what you want the Mrod to do. What fpe are you after?

I got about 48 shots at 45fpe with JSB Kings with reg set at 2000psi or 138bar. This was with 3200psi fill and reservoir extension. Ported stock valve and WAR NBH and some other mods. And Huma regulator.
