HW100 new regulator signbificant power loss.

[Rich91 1]

Had a new regulator or my current rebuilt (no-one in the shop could read the boss' hand writing) but I have got it home and it seems to be shooting really low power I would say about 5fpe if that. I don't have a chrono to test it.

 

Would I have to "run in" the new/rebuilt regulator?

 

Thanks in advance

You dont need to run a regulator in, it either does, or doesnt do its job.

Take gun back and get it fixed.

Thanks pal, will defo get it back tomorrow. It is no where near 5ft lbs as it won't even pierce 1 side of a coke can which is empty.

Hi Rich,

 

As far as im aware mate, the HW100 doesnt have a regulator as standard. Is it an after market addition ie. BTAS or Tench? Perhaps if the seals have been replaced they are not sitting [bANNED TEXT], hence the loss in power. This has happened to myself after servicing my own rifle.

 

Just a thought mate, hope you get it soughted.

 

Mikey.

Have been back to my local RFD today and they put my HW100 through a chrono and it's putting out 0.9 ft lbs. As I just picked it up from repair yesterday they took it back and are going to fast track it to their gunsmith and fast track it back as he should have done it correctly first time. Bit annoying but these things have to happen to someone I suppose.
