History.
After learning much about regulators concerning my Impact MKI upgraded to an MKII having Huma replacements. That is in and of itself a BIG story…And it gets bigger with the MKII gen3. I’ll leave it at that.
Dreamline AMP is simple and easy as is the Wildcat MK3, pretty much the same.
Now let’s get to the point of my .22 Maverick Sniper.
My testing/tuning the Maverick is in my HUGE 5 yard (yes, 5 yards, don’t laugh) shop. It works, kinda, and that is another story.
Discovery time!
Baseline gauges are as follow. New replacement Wika Reg #1 gauge. Replaced the #2 reg gauge with a Sekhmet digital (awesome!).
I was never able to get the Maverick to recharge the #2 reg/ plenum faster than 3-4 minutes to 130bar from my tune of 160/130. Steve of AEAC in his video showing the same tune recharged to 130bar in 3 seconds!!! I contacted him and he agreed, something was wrong and he suggested I contact FX USA. Done.
In the meantime a friend who has an M3 and had an extra reg rebuild kit from FX let me try it to see if it solved the problem. Well, it did, in an odd sort of way.
After opening up the second reg to “flush” to start the degassing, I see that my 1st reg is close to my current setting of 160bar, standing at 158bar. Good.
I now release all air and proceed to extract the second reg body (only after watching ER’s FX Masterclass on the Maverick) and what do I find but the #11 Bellville washer was installed backwards/upside-down!!! LMAO.
I was able to tune it, but not to the place I felt it could really preform. Frustrating.
I discovered this tonight and I’m heading to RMAC on Wednesday, so I will carry on with this and post my recharge times when I get home next week. A big Thanks to Steve-AEAC for his great work with the Maverick tunes and VLOG.
