Fx Regulator

[shoot57]

I’ve just had a new regulator fitted to my FX Bobcat. The gun has always run at 49 ft/lbs+ but the new Reg is running the gun at about 45 ft/lbs. Will a new Reg take time to settle in?

The reg pressure is too low perhaps ?

4 ft/lb won’t make much difference, but you’ll get a few more shots 😳

As above, with pellets I run my .22 impact at 34ft lbs with 18.1 jsb’s, can’t tell much difference to when it’s at 41ft lbs. I just turn it up if I’m using slugs.

Just doing some calculations and to get the gun to the power level it was I need another 30+ FPS when you look at it that way the 4 ft/lb sounds quite a lot using jsb exact king heavy MK2 33.95gr .25. My main concern is that the accuracy is not as good as it was before the new Reg

It’ll be reg setting

dunno if you can gather any info from here;

What is your reg set on , should be around 135

Up the reg pressure and see if your FPS increases, if not drop pressure out of gun and reduce your reg pressure.

If reg pressure is too high your hammer spring can't open the valve enough.

Thanks for all the tips, my bobcat is a MK1. I bought it brand new about 5 years ago and it does not have a separate regulator gauge or adjustment so in the past I have done the old fashioned method of trying every pellet I could and found the JSB king MK2 33.95gn to be very accurate but as I say now with the slight drop in power these pellets are not so accurate. I think I better call the SGC as they have been doing the repairs

SGC should know the ideal reg pressure to achieve your speeds.

Tell them the pellet and speed you want.
