pianoman 3,587 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 After fitting the reg to the regal i could not get the harper valve to to give higher power than 6ft . so that went into the bin. i replaced it with one of my own valves and the rifle instantly went to 14ft after doing some adjustments to the slingshot hammer and resetting the reg to 85 bar i now have it producing 11.6 ft tomorrow i will make up a volume reducer and fit that into the firing chamber and test again 14ft shows me there is to much volume in the chamber this is the reg out the action and in the action. the threads on the end of the reg are so i can test the regulator off the rifle and also for putting a adaptor to the end of the reg for testing the rifle with out fitting the air cylinder Carl sir, can you PM me your contact details and price/s for your regulator work, please? I have a Daystate Regal in .177 which, at a desired and consistant 11.6 Ft/lbs power like Andy's would make mine an absolutely beautiful hunting rifle. Thank you. With best regards.

pianoman 3,587 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Carl's work is spot on ,I don't think you would disappointed Simon Ii's just what these Huntsman Regals need Mitch. It'll mean not having to watch the pressure guage and all that faff and a better, predictable power and pellet trajectory. If Daystate did this in-house themselves as standard production fit for these rifles, they could absolutely rival anything out there for performance.. 3 Quote Link to post
andykllhr 91 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 No problem pianoman, does your regal have the same rattly/clipping shroud issue mine had? Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 No problem pianoman, does your regal have the same rattly/clipping shroud issue mine had? It did have slight play which causes a rattle Andy. But at least, Daystate tightened that up when I sent the Regal back to them to put right. .And thus, there isn't the play in the shroud there was when the rifle was brand new. I think it's the barrel band too. I don't think it makes a precise enough fit around the shrouded barrel. A loose barrel shroud will not help that situation either. I still find the barrel shroud makes an annoying little rotation when I screw on/off the silencer I use on mine. But it's not making any loose-sounding rattles or anything to worry about there.

andykllhr 91 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I suspected mine was clipping so Carl's gonna be fixing it for me ? 1 Quote Link to post
andykllhr 91 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Quick update, unfortunately the carbon once fitted was touching the cylinder which is a big no no, so Carl has cut back the original shroud, ensuring that it no longer rattles. My huggett belita will now screw directly to the barrel so the Regal will appear much shorter. According to Carl the Regal is now blisteringly accurate and consistant, apprently it would go toe to toe with top end target rifles, he actually said that it was "too good" for hunting lol 1 Quote Link to post
