Understood. The reg will continue to settle in for 300 cycles or so. The string looks flat already, but perhaps a little short.
Interesting project

Yeah, I thought the same thing. After some accuracy shooting , I may mess with the HT, I can also fill a little higher. It is so freakin hot today, I may not get to shoot already over 90. I just got done weed wacking & now am exhausted. Thanks for the tips on installation. The most difficult part was removing the bottle. I had top put it in a padded vise and use a adjustable wrench on the receiver to break it free. One would have to be careful not to damage the carbon bottle.

100 shots per fill at just over 30 ftlb on my .22. Love it!Where did you pick up the regulator and I wonder if it would work on the air ranger, I love that Daystate and its quite accurate just don't understand why they don't regulate them from the factory?

Snake-Eyes,Here is a link to their site & I think you can get them on ebay as well.

Nutcracker,
You're killing me. I have been anxiously awaiting an update on your project. How is it working out?

Been busy with my job & when I have time it is 100 outside, just a tad hot to shoot. Should start to cool down soon . Hope to shoot it some then.

Hi guys,
A couple of months ago, I equipped and tuned this AR with an Altaros regulator:
http://sport.tweedehands.net/schietsport/unieke-daystate-air-ranger-25.html
It is getting about 57 shots from a 250bar fill before velocity drops...... at 75 joules (57ft/lbs) with king heavies
Without any other adjustments, just fitting the regulator it was doing only 25 shots at 57 ft/lbs.........
From 25 to 57 shots with the same energy brought a big smile on the owners face (and mine too )
A flat shotstring is easily achieved with a regulator, but to tune it for a high shotcount is the big challenge.
I made a lighter hammer (stainless steel hammer with delrin spring housing) and fitted the strongest spring he had, but with very little pre-tension in released state.
With other words, there is almost no pressure on the valve stem when the hammer is uncocked.
This almost makes it a free floating hammer, like the FX guns have.
An other way is to try a lot of hammer springs with different lengths and wire diameters. Make sure the tension on the valve stem is as low as possible in uncocked position to prevent air waste.
Good luck
