Great result mate, agreed their simple to fit, did you use the white collar ? After my low power issue Alatros suggested I remove it, then it went well over power. Im just waiting for some orings to turn up and Ill see how we go from there

Well done

Used the white washer, thought 'valve won't open as far, hmmm' but it works so I will leave it for now. Tried it this morning after leaving it overnight and still running at 11.6.

What O rings do you need? And have you tried reducing the reg pressure by adjusting the plastic screw?

A reg gives a constant pressure feed from the reservoir which in theory means no matter what you have in the res, each shot will be the same. Obviously there is a lower limit when the air starts to run out. You get rid of the peaks and troughs on your point of impact and also you should gain a few more shots per fill.

Thank you for your information Brooksy, only two comp's I've shot at and they were 40 targets.

If you noticed a difference between shot 1 and shot 20 then 40 for instance, i.e., on the point of impact and your holdover, a good reg will be an investment. My Altaros is good for me as I mostly shoot rabbits, but for HFT I would probably go for Robert Lane and have it fitted.

Just asking, but what sort of price are you looking at to have this done, and Robert Lane, his he the guy that does it.
