Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Aye up. Having got hold of my BSA Scorpian SE, like most other people who have them, I was very impressed with the performance straight from the box. But started giving thought to getting rid of the rifles power curve. I rang and spoke to John Bowkett, and asked his oppinion on fitting a regulator to the rifle. After a lot of interesting chat, John said he would be interested in the project, and I sent my SE up to him for surgery. The Mini Regulator was born, John made it from scratch, and had to machine one that would fit inside of the limmited space availiable for the regulator,inside the cylender. John has managed to fit the regulator, so that the guage on the rifle reads the internal cylender pressure still, and not the reg pressure, so no need for another guage. The Mini Regulator has been set so that it falls away VERY quickly after 2/3 shots at the end of the charge, and does not taper off like a wet fart. The interesting thing is, that with the Mini regulator fitted, the internal volume of the cylender is not much more than the standard Ultra, and delivers 85 regulated shots, from a 230 bar fill, all at +/- 4 FPS. John is confident that at the full charge of 250bar, 110 shots could be achieved, but personaly, Im very happy with the 85. The SE has also been Blueprinted, and the acton has been short stroked dramticly, a much weaker hammer spring has been used. Im hoping to get her back early part of next week. Anyone interested in the Mini Regulator and Blurprint for their BSA Scorpian SE can get the details from Johns Facebook Page. Roll on next week ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Too late Mary already knows :laugh: ......OH dear Mike........wallet out then mate ?? No it will be hers done first me thinks! Can't complain though, the springer she just bought herself is only right handed so I have got it, a TX200... That means the gas ram will be sold... So now it is improving the excellent SE, so how much did he charge you? No info on his facebook page yet... Edited September 17, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
