 (20) 743.2 27 spread on second 10 shots and got worse as it went.
 
 This was a preset 130bar/1800psi regulator. Tank filled to 2600psi.
 No changes to hammer, spring or meter.
 
 I Called Vince and spoke with him. I shortened the hammer throw, lossened the spring tension and opened the metering screw all the way.  
 The best fps I got out of that was 800 fps and dropping with the same  results. I took it back out. I was getting better with the way I had it  set.

Further update. It was not the regulators fault that the sear broke. That happened when I degassed it.

it certainly does not seem to be working. One the one I tested the hammer .... settings made no difference. Please let us know how this is handled from the dealer.

Does putting this in my Marauder make sense?

Does putting this in my Marauder make sense? This is why.
How high am I going to charge my M-rod ? Am I going to go above 3000psi?
Is it adjustable? the output is 95 bar with 260 in. (3770psi)
What is the output with 200 bar input?
OK lets say the output is 100 bar, That is 1500psi, So my gun gauge will show 1500psi and that is what my firing valve will see.
Can I tune my M-rod to shoot the way it shoots now with 1500psi ?
I don't think so....

Here is the video from the guy who sells it:

Im sorry Rick, but your responce seemed kinda snarky to me. May be you didnt mean it that way.



If it works as it should, it would make great sense. As I stated, mine might just be a dud. As for the initial review, my advise for my GTA family here is not to get one until I get it worked out. We take care of each other here. I am sure Vince will help me out with it. I have spoken to him on the phone and he seems like a great guy. The valve is no reflection on him. There might be something I can do without having to mod the rifle to much.



 In the letter and instructions I received from him, there was one guy who was getting 50 shots at around 29 fpe. He had to mod his valve and drill a hole in the pressure tube to keep the manometer installed. He had drilled out his barrel port, transfer port, valve exhaust port, valve chamber and open up the port after the valve a little. Another guy on another forum was getting a 9fps spread in his shot string using a 130 bar reg. Vince was getting a 50 shot string 26/27 fpe with minor valve modifications. In a 20 shot string starting at 2600 psi I was getting a 32+ fps spread with a 18fpe ave with cphps. I had my rife set up prior to the reg and was getting a 13fps spread with a 824fps/22fpe ave spread, so yes I was getting better results without the reg.

I like to keep my fill pressure low, 2500psi and fill it with a 3200psi tank.
It seems more practical to me to get a tube extender and increase the volume by 30 percent.
This will increase the shot count and reduce the spread without having to adjust anything, or install something that is going to take up space inside the tube.
I can see where the regulator could be useful, as long as you can charge to a high pressure, and adjust your gun to shoot at a much lower pressure like he demonstrates.

Where do you get a tube extender for a Marauder?

I just called him and talked to him a couple minuets.
He can't take credit cards, so you just mail him a check with your info.
Also the collar he sells to use in place of the barrel band is $22
When he mods a M-rod he ships the gun back with the barrel band removed.
He says they are more trouble then they are worth.
